Why Choose a Concrete Patio?

Concrete patios offer unmatched versatility, durability, and style. They’re perfect for Union City’s climate, resisting our hot summers and cold winters without warping or rotting. Unlike timber decks that require constant staining or stone pavers that can become uneven over time, a professionally poured concrete surface maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal year after year with minimal intervention.

A well-designed concrete patio can:

Increase Your Home Value: The beauty and durability of our poured-in-place overlays provide an incredible long-term benefit by enhancing the appeal of your property to potential future owners and ultimately increasing the market value of your home.
Create Low Maintenance Outdoor Space: Our products do not require regular maintenance such as sanding, painting, or removing weeds from gaps in-between boards, so you can enjoy your outdoor space rather than spending time working on it.
Endless Design Options: Our concrete products can be customized to fit any architectural style and personality through a variety of finishes, including smooth and decorative textures that complement your Union City property.
Durability: Our custom-engineered mix designs will withstand extremely heavy use, such as those created with large outdoor kitchens and firepits, and withstand the harsh conditions of the elements, including freezing temperatures and thawing water.

Concrete Patio Designs: Your Vision, Our Expertise

We offer a wide range of concrete patio designs to match your style and complement your home. Our team works with you to select the finishes that provide the best balance of safety, durability, and visual impact for your unique landscape.

Sleek and Modern Design: A classic smooth finish is ideal for today’s contemporary homes in Union City. The smooth and clean design provides a very low-maintenance feature, allowing you to easily sweep the surface. The design also creates a sophisticated look that brings out the lines in the architecture of your home.
High-Traction Finishes: Textured surfaces are perfect for areas around pools and high-traffic walkways. Using brooming and finishing techniques, we create a surface that has good traction to protect your family, guests, and pets from slipping on a wet concrete surface.
Natural Stone Patterns: Stamped patterns allow us to mimic the look of natural materials such as stone, brick, or wood. These stamped designs will give you a higher-end look at a lower price than having actual masonry done. Additionally, these designs have the same structural integrity as a solid concrete pour and do not allow weeds to grow through them.
Color Options: Colored concrete is available in a wide range of shades, from neutral earth tones to vibrant colors. Our colored concrete uses integral pigments throughout the entire slab, which means our colors will last longer than paint and will not peel or chip off.
Unique Natural Beauty: Exposed aggregate is a finish used to add texture to the surface of the concrete and reveal the decorative stones within. The exposed aggregate surface is a great option for those who want a unique, natural look and feel that will blend well with their garden and surrounding environment.

Our Process: From Concept to Completion

We follow a meticulous project management workflow to ensure your new outdoor area is delivered with the highest standards of craftsmanship and structural integrity.

Personalized Consultation: Your initial consultation will be the time when we will go over your ideas, your budget, and your yard dimensions. During this meeting, we will find out how you plan to use your outdoor living space, whether it be as an extension of your indoor living space or as a place to entertain friends and family. We want to make sure your patio design is the most functional and practical way to utilize your Union City property.
Custom Patio Design: Our custom design of your patio will be based on your needs and what you are looking for. We will take into account the flow of your yard, the architectural style of your home, and where your patio furniture or grill station should be located so that they are accessible and convenient for you.
Expert Site Grading and Preparation: We will properly grade and prepare the site for proper drainage and to ensure it remains stable. Proper grading and compaction of the soil will prevent water from accumulating around the perimeter of your home foundation and provide a solid base for your patio that will not shift or settle over time.
Quality Construction and Craftsmanship: The construction of your patio will be built using premium materials and will be constructed with the utmost attention to detail. The forms, reinforcing, and pouring of the concrete will all be completed in-house, and we will maintain the highest level of quality control to ensure that your patio is consistently made and will last for many years.
Protective Finishing and Sealing: Once your patio is complete, we will apply the necessary sealants and finishing elements to protect your patio from the damaging effects of UV rays, moisture, and staining. This step keeps your patio looking its best for years to come, despite the local weather conditions.
Final Walk-Through and Satisfaction: Finally, we will conduct a final walk-through with you to ensure that everything is satisfactory with the finished product. We will go over every detail with you to ensure that your new patio meets our high standards and also meets your individual expectations.

Enhancing Your Patio Experience

We help you elevate your outdoor living by integrating functional features directly into your concrete design, turning a simple surface into a fully equipped entertainment hub.

Built-in Benches

Concrete built-in benches are ideal for maximizing space within an outdoor area and will create a defined border to your outdoor room, allowing you to eliminate cluttered patio furniture. These permanent seating solutions are incredibly durable and can be customized to match the texture and color of your patio surface.

Custom Concrete Fire Pits

A custom concrete fire pit is the perfect way to add warmth and ambiance to your outdoor space. We can design and build a safe and durable focal point for your patio that will allow you to enjoy it on cooler evenings in Union City, creating a cozy gathering place for friends and family.

Outdoor Kitchens

The ultimate entertaining space includes an outdoor kitchen. Our concrete foundations are strong enough to support heavy pizza ovens, grills, and stone countertops so that you can cook your meals right at the party. These slabs are engineered to handle the concentrated weight of kitchen appliances without cracking.

Embedded Lighting

Embedded lighting systems enhance both safety and ambiance. By embedding low-voltage LED fixtures into the steps or perimeter walls of your patio, we ensure that your space remains functional and beautiful long after the sun has set, providing clear visibility for your guests.

Shade Structures

Design your patio to have a structure to provide shade. We can design specific thickened points in your slab to act as footings for a pergola or pavilion, creating a solid anchor to provide overhead protection from the hot summer sun and increasing the overall comfort of your backyard.

Why Choose Union City Concrete Works for Your Patio?

We are dedicated to providing outdoor living solutions that stand the test of time, combining structural integrity with the artistic finishes that modern homeowners expect.

Knowledgeable of Local Conditions: We have a good understanding of the weather conditions and building codes specific to Union City. Our team has knowledge of how to accommodate local soils and drainage requirements when designing your patio so it is safe, durable, and meets all applicable Union City Municipal Code requirements.
Unique Patio Design: Your patio design will be custom to fit your house and yard. We do not think in terms of “one size fits all” when it comes to designing patios. Instead, we take into consideration the shape of your yard and the architectural style of your house when creating a design for your patio.
Best Quality Materials: We only purchase high-quality concrete and reinforcement materials for longevity. We select high-psi mix concrete and incorporate professional-grade rebar or mesh to ensure that the surface we produce can withstand cracking and weather damage much better than average poured surfaces.
Experienced Labor: The craftsmanship of our experienced labor force will be evident in every aspect of your new patio, from the initial design to the final finishing touches.

Maintenance and Care

We provide comprehensive guidance on maintaining your concrete patio to ensure it remains a beautiful and functional part of your home for decades. While concrete is exceptionally low-maintenance, a small amount of preventative care will protect your investment from the elements.

Regular Cleaning: Sweep your patio regularly (at least once per week) to prevent debris like dirt and leaves from accumulating and causing discoloration due to decomposition. A quick rinse with a gentle detergent and a hose will be enough to restore a “like new” appearance to your outdoor surfaces.
Sealant Recommendations: In order to prevent the damaging effects of both moisture penetration and UV degradation, we recommend applying our commercial-grade sealants every 2 to 3 years. Applying a protective coat of sealant will help maintain the original color of the decorative concrete and prevent moisture from entering the pores and causing damage.
Winter Care Suggestions: When it comes to winter, we recommend using sand to create traction on your patio rather than using ice-melting chemicals, which contain corrosive salt, to melt the ice. Sand creates a safe area while maintaining the integrity of the concrete slab throughout the Union City winter.
Prevention & Removal Techniques for Stains: If you do get an oil spill, or food stain, etc., clean immediately with an absorbent towel and a degreaser. We have extensive knowledge regarding various types of finishes, and we can assist you in choosing the right product for your patio’s maintenance to ensure no lasting damage occurs.
