Custom Backyard Concrete Patios in Calgary
An outdoor concrete patio serves as an extension of your home's living room. It's the hub for summer barbecues, patio dinners, and relaxing in the sun. Calgary Concrete Masters designs and pours durable concrete patios tailored to your landscaping, furniture layout, and property grades.
Engineered for Long-Term Enjoyment
Backyard concrete patios require proper layout planning and drainage. Without accurate sloping and a solid base, pooling water from heavy summer downpours or melting winter snow can saturate the soil, causing the patio to shift or settle unevenly.
To avoid these issues, our expert patio builders implement several key standards:
-
Precise Grading & Slope We verify slope configurations to ensure water flows away from your home's foundation (minimum 2% slope).
-
Compacted Limestone Base Excavated subgrade compacted with a 4-inch gravel base (3/4" road crush) using commercial plate tampers to eliminate future settlement.
-
10mm Structural Steel Rebar Rebar tied at 18-inch grid intervals and elevated on chairs, reinforcing the concrete slab against tension cracks.
-
32 MPa Strength Pours High-performance concrete mix from local plants, guaranteeing resistance to Calgary freeze-thaw weathering.
Customization Options
Stamped Slate or Granite Textures
Give your patio a high-end look with stamped patterns like Ashlar slate or cobblestone. We apply natural pigments and antiquing releases to mimic natural stone surfaces, sealed with high-solid acrylic for depth.
Exposed Aggregate Patios
Exposed aggregate creates a beautifully textured, rustic, and highly durable patio surface. It naturally blends with garden landscaping and offers a non-slip finish underfoot.
Clean Brushed Concrete
A classic broom-finished patio provides a clean, modern, and minimalist look. We can customize the design with saw-cut square tile patterns or stamped borders to give a clean architectural look.
