Flat, dry and where you actually walk.
A patio or a walk has two jobs: stay flat and shed water. Both come down to the ground work. We dig to firm soil, lay and compact a gravel base, and set the forms with a slight fall away from the house, enough that rain runs off instead of sitting against your foundation or freezing into a sheet of ice by the back door.
Shape is up to you. An L around the corner of the house, a pad off the back steps for a grill, a path out to the shed, or a full patio for the table and chairs. Tell us how you use the yard and we will help lay it out so the walk goes where people actually walk, and the patio is big enough for the furniture with room to pull a chair back.
We finish walks and patios with a broom texture for grip, cut the control joints, let it cure properly, and seal the flatwork. If you want a pattern on it, that is our stamped concrete work, which has its own page. Small jobs are welcome here too. A short walk from the driveway to the door gets the same base and the same care as a big patio.
Patio and walkway work we do
- Back patios and grill pads off the steps
- Front walks from the driveway to the door
- Paths out to the shed, the garden or the garage
- L-shaped and wraparound walks along the house
- A slight slope away from the foundation for drainage
- Broom finish, control joints and a sealed surface
“We would recommend Circle M to anyone looking for an honest, competent, respectful company for a small concrete job.”
