What a new concrete patio fixes

A crack or a sunken corner lets water into the slab, and in a Rock Springs winter that water freezes, so small problems grow every year until the patio breaks up.

  • Cracks across the slab

    Cracks that wander across a patio usually mean the joints were cut late or never cut. We cut control joints, planned grooves that tell the slab where to crack, while the concrete is young.

  • A sunken or tilted slab

    When one corner drops, the base was often raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it settled with the dirt. We build your new patio on a packed base.

  • A flaky, dusty top

    A surface that powders or chips often goes back to a pour in the midday heat. We time our pours around the heat of the day so the top sets up hard.

  • A faded stamped patio

    Stamped concrete that's lost its color and edge has usually missed its resealing. We can pour new in stamped or plain broom, depending on how much upkeep you want.

Fix the old patio or pour a new one?

A patio that still sits flat with a few thin cracks can often be fixed, but once it's sunk, broken up or flaking all over, a new slab is usually the better money.

  • A repair is enough when:

    • The slab still sits flat
    • Cracks are thin and few
    • The surface is sound underneath
    • Only one section is damaged
    • You like its size and shape

  • A new patio makes sense when:

    • The slab has sunk or tilted
    • Cracks are wide or still growing
    • The top flakes across the slab
    • You want it bigger or reshaped
    • You want a different finish

How your patio gets built

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (307) 209-5832 or use the form and tell us the rough size, the finish you have in mind, whether you'll use deicers and when you'd like the patio.

  2. I walk the yard with you

    I come out myself, look at the ground and talk finish first, since broom and stamped carry very different upkeep. Then you get a written estimate.

  3. Setting the pour date

    We pick the date with the weather in mind, because a patio poured late in the year needs extra protection from frost. If the job needs a permit, we handle it before we start.

  4. Pour day

    The base, forms and steel are set and checked before the truck arrives, so the pour goes calmly. Our crew places and finishes the concrete with me on site.

  5. Curing and cleanup

    From there the concrete sets the schedule, not us, so we protect it while it cures, the slow hardening that gives it strength. Then we clean up and leave your yard tidy.

    A patio to enjoy

What our concrete patio work includes

  1. Old slab removal

    If there's an old patio, we break it out and haul it away so the new one starts clean.

  2. Digging out the base

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, what the slab sits on, instead of raking it level and pouring over it.

  3. Forms and rebar

    We set forms to the shape you want and lay rebar, the steel inside that keeps a cracked slab from pulling apart.

  4. A mix for freezing winters

    We pour air-entrained concrete, which holds tiny air bubbles that give freezing water room so the surface holds up.

  5. Broom finish

    A broom finish leaves fine ridges from a stiff broom pulled across the wet top, so the patio has grip underfoot.

  6. Control joints on time

    We cut the joints while the concrete is young, not days later, so any crack has a planned place to go.

What decides the cost of a concrete patio?

Size is the biggest piece, then whether an old slab has to come out first and how easily the truck and our crew can reach your backyard. The finish matters a lot, because stamped or decorative work pushes the cost per square foot above a plain broom finish. A walk out to the patio, which falls under our concrete sidewalk building work, adds to it too.

The base is where I'd ask you not to save. It's buried on day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut, but a slab is only as steady as what's under it. I'd rather you pick a plainer finish than a thinner base, and your written estimate spells out each piece.

Why Rock Springs homeowners call us for patios

I spent my twenties on restaurant lines before a friend put a finishing trowel in my hand here in Rock Springs, and I started this business in 2017. The kitchen taught me that the cook who's prepped has a calm night, and a patio works the same way, so everything is planned before the truck shows up.

I come out to look at every job and I'm on site while our crew works. I'd rather move a pour date than rush concrete into bad weather, and I'll explain why we do each step. We're licensed and fully insured. When you're ready, call (307) 209-5832 or send the form.

Patio questions we hear in Rock Springs

How much does a concrete patio cost in Rock Springs, WY?

An installed concrete patio across the US usually costs about $6 to $12 per square foot, and that's the general market, not our price. Size, removing an old slab and the finish you pick move yours within that, and I'll put your number in writing after I see the yard.

When should I pour a concrete patio in Rock Springs?

Away from late fall, winter and early spring if you can, because concrete industry guidance urges caution then, when wet concrete can freeze soon after it's placed. Fresh concrete can lose up to 50% of its strength if it freezes too early, though at normal temperatures it's strong enough to resist freezing within the first 24 hours. If you want a cool-season pour, we plan how the slab gets protected, and I'll move the date before I rush it.

Is a stamped concrete patio worth the upkeep?

It can be, if you're fine resealing it every 2 to 3 years, which stamped concrete needs, while a broom finish is enough for most outdoor surfaces. Let the sealer go and it fades, wears and picks up freeze-thaw damage in a cold place like this. If you want the look, our stamped concrete services page covers it.

What concrete mix should I ask for on a patio in Rock Springs?

Ask for air-entrained concrete at a higher specified strength, which is what a concrete industry group advises for outdoor slabs that stay damp, freeze and get deicing salt. The city's building code lists Rock Springs as subject to severe weathering damage, so that advice fits here, and if you plan to use deicers you can ask that the quote names the mix. The same group says to skip deicers the patio's first winter and use them in moderation after that.

How do I keep a new concrete patio from cracking?

Most of it happens before and during the pour, through a packed base, joints cut on time and a careful pour day. Wind above 5 mph, dry air and heat dry the surface fast and raise the chance of early cracks, so it's fair to ask how we handle a windy day. A light finish matters too, because overworking the top drives out the air that protects it.

How do I know if mine subsidence affects my patio project in Rock Springs?

The city's mine subsidence rule covers foundations on properties it has identified as subsidence-prone, so it comes into play when your project includes a foundation on one of those properties. Those foundations have to follow University of Wyoming specifications for ground movement from mine subsidence. If your patio is part of a bigger job like an addition, tell me when I come out.
