Patios & Outdoor Living
Concrete Patios & Outdoor Living in High Point, NC
Patios, steps, fire-pit pads and outdoor kitchens that make the backyard usable. Pitched away from the house and finished to match how you’ll use it.
Patios & Outdoor Living built to last
A patio isn’t just a slab — it’s the part of your yard people actually spend time in, so it’s worth planning around how you’ll use it before it’s poured.
We build concrete patios, steps, and outdoor living spaces for homes in High Point and nearby towns — sized and pitched around how each family actually uses their yard, from a simple slab for the grill to a full space with a fire pit and seating built in. Every patio is graded to move water away from the house, and finished in a plain broom, smooth trowel, or decorative option like stamped or colored concrete.
A patio planned around how you’ll use it
We start with how you want to use the space: a table and grill, a fire pit, a hot tub pad, or room for the kids. Then we size it, pitch it for drainage and pick the finish.
Plain broom finish, smooth trowel, or decorative options like stamped and colored concrete are all on the table.
What to expect with patio & outdoor living work
We start with layout — walking the space with you to confirm size, shape, and where things like steps or a fire pit will sit. From there we excavate, set a compacted base, pitch it away from your home, and pour. Most patios are finished the same day, with steps or landings formed as part of the same pour where possible.

Types of patio & outdoor living work
Most patio projects fall into a few common categories — here’s how they typically differ in scope and planning.
Backyard patios
A standard backyard patio is usually the most straightforward patio project — a defined space, pitched correctly, finished to match how you’ll use it. Size and finish are the main variables that move the price.
Steps and landings
Steps and landings connect a patio to a door, deck, or yard at a different grade. They take more forming work than a flat slab, since each riser has to be built and finished individually, but they’re often poured as part of the same job as the patio itself.
Decorative patio finishes
A decorative patio finish — stamped, colored, or exposed aggregate — costs more than a standard broom finish but changes the whole feel of the space. See our decorative concrete page for the specific options.
What affects the cost of patio & outdoor living work
The same factors that affect any concrete job apply to patios, plus a few things specific to outdoor living spaces — here’s what moves the price.
Size and layout
A larger patio means more excavation and more concrete, and an irregular shape or added steps adds labor on top of the square footage.
Tear-out and haul-off
If you’re replacing an old patio, deck, or paver area, removing what’s there adds to the cost and depends on what it’s made of.
Site access
A backyard with easy equipment access is more affordable to work in than one behind a narrow gate or up a steep grade change.
Base and grading
Getting drainage right — away from your home’s foundation — sometimes means extra grading work, especially on a yard that already has water problems.
Finish and color
A plain broom or trowel finish is the most affordable. Stamped and colored finishes cost more but are one of the most popular upgrades for patios specifically, since it’s a space people actually look at.

Like any outdoor pour, patios are scheduled around temperature and rain — we’ll walk you through realistic timing when we quote the job.
