Concrete Patios

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio

Your backyard should be a place where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy the California sunshine. A concrete patio gives you a durable, low-maintenance outdoor space that handles everything from family barbecues to hot summer days without cracking, warping, or fading like other materials.

In Chico, we know your patio needs to stand up to our climate. That means proper base preparation, the right concrete mix, and professional finishing techniques. When you choose CCW Chico Concrete Works, you get a team that understands local conditions and builds patios that last.

We take the time to discuss your vision, measure your space accurately, and walk you through every step of the process. Whether you want a simple slab or a decorative stamped design, we make sure you know exactly what to expect before we start.

What Makes a Quality Patio

Not all concrete patios are created equal. The difference between a patio that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 30 years comes down to the details. Here's what we focus on:

• •Proper site preparation: We excavate to the right depth, compact the soil, and add a gravel base that prevents settling and cracking.
• •Grade and drainage: We slope your patio away from your house to prevent water pooling and foundation issues.
• •Control joints: Strategic cuts that control where cracks appear, keeping them hidden and your patio looking great.
• •Professional finishing: We use the right tools and techniques to create a smooth, slip-resistant surface that's safe and comfortable.
• •Proper curing: We protect and seal your patio so the concrete reaches full strength before you use it.

These steps take more time upfront, but they save you money and headaches down the road. We've seen too many patios fail because corners were cut during installation.

Design Options for Every Style

Your patio should match your home and your lifestyle. We offer several finish options to help you create the perfect outdoor space:

Standard broom finish patios are cost-effective and provide excellent traction. They're perfect if you want a clean, simple look that focuses on function. If you're looking for something more custom, our stamped and decorative concrete services let you mimic the look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost.

We also pour concrete slabs and flatwork for larger outdoor entertainment areas that connect patios to fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and pool decks. Whatever you're planning, we'll help you design a layout that works for your space and budget.
