Concrete Patios

Create Your Perfect Outdoor Living Space

Your backyard should be more than just grass and landscaping. A well-designed concrete patio gives you a comfortable outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying North Carolina's great weather.

At TopHands Holly Springs Concrete, we build custom concrete patios that match your style and fit your budget. Whether you want a simple slab for grilling or an elaborate outdoor kitchen area, we handle every detail from design to final finishing.

Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and require constant maintenance, a concrete patio stands up to weather and heavy use without the hassle. You'll spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time maintaining it.

Why Concrete Beats Wood Decks

Many homeowners start by considering a wood deck, but concrete patios offer better value and performance over time. Here's why concrete makes sense:

• •No Rot or Decay: Concrete won't rot, splinter, or attract termites like wood does.
• •Minimal Maintenance: Skip the annual staining and sealing that wood decks require. Concrete needs only occasional cleaning.
• •Design Flexibility: With stamped and colored concrete, you can achieve the look of stone, brick, or tile at a fraction of the cost.
• •Lower Long-Term Costs: While the upfront cost may be similar, concrete saves money over time with lower maintenance expenses.
• •Better for Furniture: Concrete provides a stable, level surface that won't shift or develop gaps like deck boards can.

If you want an outdoor space that looks great and performs reliably for decades, concrete is the smart choice.

Concrete Patio Design Options

Gone are the days when concrete meant plain gray slabs. Today's concrete patios offer endless design possibilities to match your home's style and your personal taste.

Standard Finish

A traditional broom or trowel finish provides a clean, classic look at the most affordable price point. This option works well for modern homes and provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface with good traction.

Stamped Concrete

Want the look of natural stone, brick, or slate? Stamped concrete gives you that high-end appearance without the high-end price. We offer dozens of patterns and color options. Learn more about our stamped and decorative concrete services.

Colored and Stained Concrete

Add color to your patio with integral color mixed into the concrete or stains applied to the surface. Choose from earth tones, grays, blues, or custom colors that complement your home's exterior.

Exposed Aggregate

This finish reveals the natural beauty of the stones in the concrete mix, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface that's perfect for pool decks and outdoor living areas.

How We Build Your Concrete Patio

A quality patio starts with proper planning and preparation. Here's what you can expect when we install your concrete patio:

We begin with site evaluation and design consultation to determine the best size, shape, and location for your patio. We consider factors like sun exposure, drainage, and how you plan to use the space.

Next comes excavation and grading. We remove sod and soil to the proper depth, then grade the area to ensure water drains away from your home. A compacted gravel base provides stability and prevents settling.

During the pour and finish stage, we use high-quality concrete mixed to the right specifications. Our crew carefully levels the surface and applies your chosen finish, whether that's a simple broom texture or an elaborate stamped pattern.

Finally, we protect the fresh concrete during curing. This step is crucial for achieving maximum strength and durability. You'll typically be able to use your new patio within a week.
