Concrete driveways and patios in Mount Washington

Mount Washington's newer neighborhoods are full of homeowners ready to finish the outside: a patio off the back door, a wider driveway for another car, a walkway around the side of the house or a pad for a hot tub or shed. That is the kind of work we do every week.

Many homes here were built on graded lots where soil was moved around during construction. That fill needs to be dug out or compacted before new concrete goes down, or patios and driveway extensions can settle away from the house. We check the ground first and build on a compacted stone base.

Patios are where finish choices matter most. A broom finish is durable and affordable. Stamped concrete gives the look of stone or slate with less maintenance, and a colored or stamped border can dress up a plain slab. We'll show you examples and help you pick a pattern that fits your home.

For driveways, we tear out and replace cracked or sinking concrete, extend driveways and add parking pads, with joints planned to control cracking and a slope that sends water toward the street, not your garage.

Hot tub pads, shed foundations and walkways to a backyard gate are common add-on projects in Mount Washington. They're small jobs, but they still need a firm base, the right thickness and a slope that keeps water away from the house and the structure sitting on them.

How long will a stamped patio last?

With proper base preparation and resealing every few years, a stamped patio can last for many years. We'll explain the care it needs.

Can you pour a pad for a hot tub or shed?
