Concrete Patios
Transform your backyard into an outdoor living space with a custom concrete patio.
Create the Perfect Outdoor Living Space
Your backyard should be more than just grass. A well-designed concrete patio gives you a clean, durable space for dining, entertaining, and relaxing outdoors. Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift and settle, a properly installed concrete patio stays level and solid for decades.
Here in Hayward, outdoor living is something we enjoy year-round. Your patio faces sun, rain, temperature swings, and constant foot traffic. That is why you need concrete that is designed for the Bay Area climate. NextPhase Hayward Concrete has been creating outdoor spaces since 2024, and we understand exactly what it takes to build a patio that handles everything our weather throws at it.
We take time to discuss your vision before we pour anything. Do you want a simple entertainment area, or are you thinking about an outdoor kitchen? Maybe you want to include a fire pit or seating walls. Whatever your plan, we help you design a functional and beautiful concrete patio that fits your space and budget.
Patio Styles That Match Your Vision
Your patio should reflect your style. Here are the most popular options we offer:
- Stamped concrete: Get the elegant look of stone, slate, or brick without the high cost. Our stamped and decorative concrete patterns create stunning visual appeal while maintaining all the durability of solid concrete.
- Colored concrete: Choose from earth tones to bold colors that complement your home. The color goes throughout the concrete, so it will not fade or peel over time.
- Exposed aggregate: Reveal the natural beauty of stones within the concrete for a textured, slip-resistant surface that looks great and handles foot traffic beautifully.
- Broom finish: A traditional textured surface that provides excellent traction when wet. This economical choice works perfectly for functional outdoor spaces.
- Smooth trowel finish: A sleek, modern look that works well for covered patios or contemporary designs. We can add color or leave it natural gray.
Each finish option has different maintenance requirements and price points. We explain the pros and cons so you can make the right choice for your needs.
How We Build Your Patio to Last
A great patio starts with careful planning and proper installation. We do not cut corners because we know shortcuts lead to problems later. Here is what goes into every patio we build:
First, we evaluate your site. Where does water drain? What is the soil like? How much sun and shade does the area get? These factors affect how we prepare the base and design the patio layout. We also check local codes to make sure everything is done right.
Next comes excavation and base preparation. We remove soil to the proper depth and create a compacted gravel base that drains well and stays stable. This foundation prevents settling and cracking down the road. We also ensure proper slope for drainage so water does not pool on your patio surface.
Then we form and reinforce the area. Quality forms create clean edges and the right thickness. We add rebar or wire mesh reinforcement based on your patio size. This extra step prevents cracks and structural problems.
Finally, we pour, finish, and cure the concrete. We use the right mix for outdoor conditions and apply your chosen finish. Proper curing is critical for strength and longevity, so we protect the concrete and control moisture levels during this crucial period.
Enhance Your Patio With Custom Features
Your patio can be more than just a flat surface. We can incorporate features that make your outdoor space truly special:
Borders and bands: Add visual interest with contrasting colors or textures around the perimeter or through the center of your patio.
Fire pit areas: We can create a dedicated fire pit zone with appropriate clearances and built-in seating options.
Integrated walkways: Connect your patio to other parts of your yard with matching concrete walkways for a cohesive look.
Seating walls: Low concrete walls provide extra seating and define your patio space without blocking views.
