Concrete Patio Installation

Concrete Patios — West Metro Twin Cities, MN

• Custom design options. We pour stamped concrete, broom finished slabs, exposed aggregate, and colored concrete patios using Davis Colors pigments and Brickform stamping tools for a finished look that matches your home.
• Proper site preparation. Our team excavates, grades, and compacts a crushed stone base before any concrete leaves the truck, which prevents settling and cracking down the road.
• Reinforced slabs. Every patio we install includes rebar or welded wire mesh, plus control joints cut at precise intervals to manage shrinkage.
• 4,000 PSI concrete mixes. We order air entrained mixes from trusted suppliers like CEMEX, giving your patio the strength to survive freeze and thaw cycles.
• Sealed and protected. We apply penetrating sealers from Euclid Chemical after curing, which guards against stains, moisture, and surface wear.

Homeowners choose our professional concrete patio installation because we deliver flat, level, long lasting results on schedule.

Why choose Legacy

Concrete patio installation is a trade we've refined over years of residential and commercial work, and Legacy Concrete General Services brings that experience to every backyard project. Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry workers' compensation coverage on every job site, so you never assume liability for our team.

You get a written estimate before we break ground. No vague pricing. No surprise change orders halfway through the pour. We measure your site, calculate cubic yardage, and quote a firm number that covers excavation, base material, forms, reinforcement, concrete, finishing, and sealing.

Our finishers are the difference you can see. A concrete patio lives or dies by the hands that float, edge, and trowel it. Our lead finishers each carry more than a decade of flatwork experience, and they know how to read a slab as it sets. They time every pass to produce a dense, uniform surface without blemishes or bird baths.

We back our concrete patio installation with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering structural defects. If a section settles or cracks beyond normal hairline tolerance within the warranty period, we repair it at no cost to you.

Top-rated reviews across Google and Angi reflect a simple approach. We show up when we say we will, we build patios correctly the first time, and we clean the site before we leave.

Signs it's time for replacement

1. Your existing patio shows spalling and scaling. When the surface layer flakes away and exposes aggregate, the slab has suffered freeze and thaw damage or a weak original finish. Resurfacing helps for a while. A full tear out and new pour solves it permanently.
2. Cracks exceed hairline width. Structural cracks wider than a quarter inch, especially with vertical displacement between sections, signal base failure underneath. New installation with proper subgrade compaction and reinforcement corrects the root problem.
3. Water pools against your foundation. A patio poured without adequate slope directs runoff toward the house instead of away from it. We install new slabs with a standard pitch of one quarter inch per foot to move water where it belongs.
4. Your wood deck has rotted or sagged. Decks demand constant staining, board replacement, and joist repairs. Homeowners tired of that maintenance cycle replace decks with concrete patios that need only occasional resealing.
5. Your backyard lacks usable space. Bare lawn or dirt can't hold a grill station, outdoor furniture, or a fire pit. A properly installed concrete patio creates a stable, level surface for entertaining and expands your home's functional square footage.

If any of these describe your property, an affordable concrete patio installation from a qualified contractor pays for itself in daily use and resale value.

Our process

1. Consultation and layoutWe visit your property, discuss size, shape, finish, and color, then mark the patio footprint with paint and stakes. You approve the layout before anything moves.
2. Excavation and gradingOur crew digs to the required depth, removes roots and debris, and grades the subgrade to establish drainage slope away from your home.
3. Base and formsWe spread and compact four inches of crushed stone, then set wood or steel forms to define clean, straight edges and the finished slab height.
4. ReinforcementWe place rebar on chairs or lay wire mesh so the steel sits in the middle of the slab where it does its job.
5. Pour and finishWe place the concrete, screed it level, bull float the surface, and apply your chosen finish. Broom texture, stamp patterns, or exposed aggregate all happen in this window.
6. Curing and sealingWe cut control joints, protect the slab while it cures for several days, and return to apply sealer.

Most residential concrete patio installations take two to four days from excavation to final pour, with full cure strength reached in 28 days.

Brands and materials we use

Safety guides every pour. Our crews wear waterproof gloves, safety glasses, and rubber boots to prevent concrete burns from wet cement, which is caustic on contact with skin. We cordon off fresh slabs, post signage, and keep children and pets away from the work zone until the concrete cures. Every saw and mixer on site gets inspected before use, and our team follows OSHA guidelines for silica dust control when cutting joints.
