A concrete patio should feel solid underfoot, drain correctly, and stay easy to maintain year after year. Serving St. Augustine since 2016, we build and repair concrete patio slabs for homes and commercial spaces using proven prep, clean forming, and durable finishes.
A long-lasting concrete patio starts below the slab. We lay out the footprint, confirm elevations for drainage, and remove soft/organic material before building a compacted base (typically 4-6 inches of crushed stone). Proper compaction with a plate compactor and tight forms reduces settling, edge breakage, and low spots. Where needed, we add reinforcement such as #3 or #4 rebar, rebar chairs, or welded wire mesh, then place concrete at the right thickness (commonly 4 inches for patios) with control joints to manage shrinkage cracking.
Coastal Florida conditions demand attention to water, heat, and soil movement. We set slope away from the structure, seal cold joints, and pay close attention to cure timing so the surface does not dust or scale. Finish options include broom-finish for slip resistance, light trowel with a broom border, salt finish, and decorative stamping with integral color or color hardener. For repairs, we match texture and joint patterns when possible, address trip hazards with proper patching or replacement, and use concrete sealers where appropriate to help resist staining, moisture intrusion, and UV wear.
Customers choose St. Augustine Concreters because we do the unglamorous details that prevent callbacks. You get clear recommendations on replace vs repair, written scope, and straightforward pricing. Our crew uses professional-grade forming, laser levels, mixers and ready-mix delivery scheduling, and jobsite protection to keep lawns, pavers, and adjacent surfaces clean. We are licensed and insured, and we keep communication simple, with a start date, cure guidance, and a plan for access and cleanup.
Before we leave, we walk the slab with you and confirm slope, joints, edges, and finish consistency. You get curing and use instructions (when to walk on it, place furniture, and resume vehicle traffic if applicable), plus care guidance for sealing and routine cleaning. We also review drainage, downspout discharge, and any transitions to steps, screen enclosures, or existing slabs so there are no surprises later. The result is a concrete patio built for daily use, predictable drainage, and a clean look that fits your property.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines demolition (if needed), base prep, reinforcement, concrete thickness, finish, joints, and timeline.
Yes. We handle saw-cutting and demolition, haul-off, re-grading, compacted base installation, and a new pour with proper jointing and drainage.
When permits or inspections apply, we help coordinate the process and build to applicable Florida Building Code requirements for the scope of work.
Yes. We set forms to match door thresholds and tie into existing concrete where appropriate, using proper joints and dowels when needed to manage movement.
Avoid heavy loads too soon, keep the surface clean, and follow our curing guidance for the first 7-28 days. If sealed, use mild cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the sealer.
If your concrete patio is cracked, settled, or constantly holding water, the fix is usually in the base, the slope, and the joints, not just a thin surface patch. St. Augustine Concreters installs new slabs and completes concrete patio repair for homeowners and businesses, from small backyard pads to larger outdoor living areas.
A quality concrete patio starts with layout and elevation control. We verify where water should go, then excavate to reach stable subgrade and install a compacted base, typically 4-6 inches of #57 stone or similar. Forms are set straight and staked firmly, then reinforcement is installed based on slab size, soil conditions, and load. After placement, we strike off, bull float, edge, and cut control joints at appropriate spacing to help control shrinkage cracking as the slab cures.
For concrete patio repair, we look at the real cause first: poor drainage, soft spots under the slab, inadequate thickness, or missing joints. Depending on what we find, we may recommend partial removal and repour, replacing broken panels, repairing spalls and surface scaling, or correcting transitions that create a trip hazard. When patching is appropriate, we use repair mortars and bonding methods designed for exterior concrete, and we aim to blend texture and joint lines so repairs do not look like afterthoughts.
Once your patio is in, proper curing and basic maintenance protect your investment. We provide guidance on cure time, furniture placement, sealing options, and cleaning methods that will not etch or discolor the surface.
