Concrete Patios Akron Ohio
PMC Concrete designs and builds custom concrete patios that elevate outdoor living for homeowners in Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, and the Akron–Cleveland metro. We engineer every patio around Northeast Ohio’s climate—freeze–thaw cycles, lake-effect moisture, and sun exposure—using proper subgrade prep, reinforcement, and mix designs that resist scaling and surface wear. From sleek modern slabs to multi-level layouts with steps, seat walls, fire-pit pads, and integrated walkways, we deliver patios that look polished, drain correctly, and perform for decades.
Concrete Patios Contractors Akron Ohio
As your local patio contractor, PMC Concrete manages the entire project in-house: site planning and permitting, HOA coordination, utility locates, layout and grading, excavation, base construction, reinforcement, placement, finishing, and sealing. We design for function and code by setting elevations and slopes that shed water away from the house (typically 1/8–1/4 inch per foot), adding isolation joints at foundations and stoops, and placing control joints on a predictable grid to reduce random cracking. Our mix designs are air-entrained and strength-appropriate for exterior flatwork in Ohio; we’ll specify fiber reinforcement, welded wire mesh, or rebar where spans, loads, or soil conditions require extra strength. Decorative options include integral color, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, colored borders, saw-cut designs, and inlays, finished with film-forming acrylic sealers or penetrating silane/siloxane sealers depending on your traction and maintenance preferences. We coordinate add-ons—conduit for low-voltage lighting, footings for pergolas, pads for outdoor kitchens, and transitions to turf, pavers, or landscaping—so the end result is cohesive and ready to enjoy.
Benefits of Concrete Patios
A well-engineered patio adds daily comfort, safety, and value while minimizing upkeep.
- Durable, low-maintenance outdoor surface: Handles dining sets, grills, hot tubs, planters, and heavy foot traffic without sagging or rot.
- Weather-smart performance: Air-entrained mixes, proper slope, and quality curing resist Ohio’s freeze–thaw damage, surface scaling, and de-icer exposure.
- Custom design options: Choose broom, exposed aggregate, or stamped textures; add integral color, stains, borders, saw-cut bands, and curved edges to match your architecture.
- Safer, cleaner space: Tunable traction, smooth transitions, and joint planning reduce trip hazards, puddling, and algae growth.
- Integrated outdoor living: Steps, landings, seat walls, fire-pit/hearth pads, and kitchen or pergola footings planned into one build.
- Strong ROI: Attractive patios improve day-to-day use and boost resale appeal with minimal maintenance compared to wood decks or poorly built paver installs.
Driveway Install Process
Our patio installations emphasize drainage, durability, and finish quality—sequenced to minimize disruption and protect your property.
- Planning and design: Site measurement, elevation mapping, and utility locates (811). We plan slope away from your home, resolve downspout discharge (splash blocks or drains), and confirm layout, thickness, finishes, color, and joint pattern.
- Excavation and base: Strip sod/topsoil; excavate to final section depth. Install compacted aggregate base (typically 4–6 inches, more if soils are weak) to create uniform support and reduce frost movement.
- Formwork and reinforcement: Set forms to exact lines/grades; add isolation joints at house/stoops/posts; install reinforcement—fiber, welded wire mesh, or #3–#4 rebar grid—based on loads, spans, and soil performance.
- Mix and placement: Place air-entrained concrete suited to exterior flatwork; consolidate, screed, and bull float. For decorative work, apply color hardeners or integral color as specified.
- Finishing and joints: Finish broom, exposed aggregate, or stamp at the right set time for crisp texture and consistent pattern. Install control joints at 8–10 ft. spacing (or per slab thickness and geometry), tool/edge perimeters, and detail clean transitions to doors, steps, and lawn.
- Curing and sealing: Use proper curing (compound or wet cure) to reduce shrinkage and improve strength. Apply a film-forming acrylic sealer for color pop and easy cleaning or a penetrating silane/siloxane for invisible water/salt repellency and higher traction. Add anti-slip additive where desired.
- Clean-up and handoff: Restore grade around edges, coordinate any downspout tie-ins or drains, and provide care guidance—initial cure times, sealing schedule, winter de-icer cautions, and cleaning tips.
