Concrete Patio Ideas for Platte County Homes

A concrete patio is one of the highest-ROI outdoor improvements you can make. Here are the layouts and finishes that work well in Northland homes.

Sized for actual use

A grill + small table is fine at 12x12. A full dining set + lounge area needs 16x18 minimum. Hot tubs need their own dedicated 8x8 reinforced pad.

Finish options that age well

Medium broom finish in standard gray is timeless and lowest-maintenance. Stamped slate or ashlar in earth tones reads as upscale without being trendy.

Integrated features

Steps tied into the slab, low seat walls, fire pit pads, and curb-built planter borders all pour as part of the patio for a clean integrated look.

Drainage

Slope away from the house at 1/8” per foot minimum. We grade and form to make sure water never pools or runs back toward your foundation.
