Covered Patio Slab Extension in Hanford
Decorative patterns that look like stone, slate or brick for patios, walkways and pool decks.
A well-built concrete patio is the start of real outdoor living in the valley: a flat, cool, easy-to-clean space for a table, a grill, a shade cover and the family.
We build new backyard patios, extend small builder-grade slabs, pour pads for patio covers and pergolas, and add side-yard slabs for trash cans, hot tubs and equipment. Most patios we pour are finished in a single day, with forms out and cleanup done before we leave.
Good patios are about drainage as much as concrete. We slope every patio at least 1/8 inch per foot away from the house, keep the top of slab below weep screed and door thresholds, and plan around sprinklers so lawn water does not pond against your stucco. If a patio cover is coming later, we thicken the slab or add footings where the posts will land.
Finish options include a classic broom finish, a smooth trowel finish for covered areas, a light salt finish that stays cooler underfoot, exposed aggregate, and stamped or colored concrete. We can also add seat walls, steps and a separate grill pad in the same pour.
Typical cost: Standard broom-finish patios in Tulare usually cost $8 to $12 per square foot; decorative finishes and stamped patios cost more.

Lighter colors and textured finishes stay noticeably cooler than dark, smooth concrete in August. Many Tulare homeowners pair a broom-finish patio with a solid or lattice cover, or choose a salt finish in a buff color for barefoot areas. If you are planning an outdoor kitchen, we sleeve for gas and electric lines before the pour so nothing has to be cut out later.
A lot of the patios we pour start with a small 8-by-10 builder slab. We dowel new concrete into the old slab so the two move together, match the elevation and finish as closely as possible, and use a clean saw-cut joint where they meet. Steps, landings and walkways to the side gate can be poured the same day.
Full patios with broom, smooth, salt or exposed aggregate finishes.
Doweled additions that enlarge an existing builder slab.
Thickened slabs and post footings for covers and pergolas.
Hot tub, shed, AC and trash can pads and side-yard slabs.
“They poured our patio at 5:30 in the morning to beat the July heat, and the crew lead explained every control joint before they cut it. Clean job site, fair price, and the slab drains away from the house exactly like they promised.”
“Broom finish around the pool is cool on bare feet and not slippery. They worked around our pool builder's schedule without any finger-pointing. Would hire again.”
Most broom-finish concrete patios cost $8 to $12 per square foot installed. A 400-square-foot patio typically falls between $3,200 and $4,800 depending on access, demolition and thickness.
You can walk on it after 24 hours and put patio furniture on it after about three days. Wait seven days before heavy items like a hot tub or a loaded smoker.
A simple on-grade patio usually does not need a permit, but a patio cover, outdoor kitchen or work near property lines may. We will tell you what your city or the county requires.
Yes. We drill and epoxy rebar dowels into the existing slab so the new section stays level with it, then finish and joint the new concrete to match.
We also install stamped concrete, stained concrete, concrete foundation, concrete walkway, concrete driveway throughout Tulare, Visalia, Hanford, Porterville, Lindsay, Exeter and the rest of Tulare County.
