Concrete patio construction in Concord NC - a slab that drains and stays put
Packed firm, sloped right, finished clean
At Quality Concord Concrete, we build concrete patios in Concord for homeowners with bare dirt off the back door or an old slab that's cracked, sinking or holding water. Most of the work you'll never see, because it goes into the ground before the pour.
Why a concrete patio starts below the surface
A concrete patio is a poured slab out back that gives you solid, dry ground for a table and grill, and we can run a concrete sidewalk to it from the driveway.
The price moves with the size, the digging and fill your spot needs, how easy it is to reach and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the ground work, any permit and the curing days, and your written estimate lists what's in and what's out.
Best for
- Bare yard by the back door
- Replacing a cracked, sinking slab
- Room for a grill and table
A base that doesn't move
We dig out the topsoil and soft spots and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, so your patio doesn't sink along with loose dirt.
Water that runs away
We set the slope before anything's poured, so rain runs off into the yard instead of puddling on the slab or heading back toward your house.
Cracks on a planned line
We cut control joints, shallow grooves across the slab, soon after the pour, so a crack has a line to follow instead of wandering across the middle.
Money spent where it counts
If the budget's tight, I'd keep the base work and go plain on the finish, because you can't fix soft ground under a slab without breaking it out.
Concrete patios built to hold up, ground to finish
- I come out to look at the job and write the estimate, and our own crew forms, pours and finishes it with me on site to run it.
- I learned concrete on my father's crews and started this business in 2017, and I've broken out plenty of patios poured on dirt that was only raked flat.
- We're licensed and fully insured, and if you want me to look at your spot, call (980) 255-3818 or use our estimate form.
Patio choices worth talking through
I'll walk the spot with you and tell you straight which of these is worth paying for at your house, and which isn't.
Broom finish
A brushed texture dragged across the wet surface for better grip, so it suits patios by a door or grill that get wet.
Stamped pattern
Pressed to look like stone or brick, and stamped concrete outdoors usually gets its sealer reapplied every two to three years.
Reinforced slab
Rebar or wire mesh, steel set inside the slab, costs a little more and won't stop cracks, but at the right depth keeps them narrower.
Edge shape
Straight edges are quicker to form, while curves take more form work but can follow a garden bed or the line of the house.

Concord patio questions
What does a concrete patio cost in Concord, NC?
Around the Charlotte area, a concrete patio usually runs about $6 to $12 per square foot, materials and labor included. Where yours lands depends on the size and ground work I mentioned up top, so I measure on site and write it out so you can compare it with other bids. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Will my new concrete patio crack?
Probably some, because all concrete tends to crack and a completely crack-free slab isn't possible. What you can steer is where the cracks run and how wide they get, which is what the control joints and reinforcement above are for. I'd rather tell you that now than after we've packed up.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Concord, NC?
Cabarrus County's zoning permits cover installing a patio, and in Concord one application gets both the city's zoning review and the county's building review. The city's setback rules also limit how close it can sit to your property line. When a permit's needed we handle the application, or I'll point you to the city's permits page.
How long does a new concrete patio need to cure?
Curing, keeping fresh concrete moist while it hardens, should start as soon as possible and last at least 3 days, with a sprayed curing compound or damp burlap kept moist. That step does a lot for a durable, crack-resistant slab. After the pour we show you how to look after it during those days.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, a general contractor must by law be licensed when the total project cost is $40,000 or higher. That matters most when the patio is one piece of a larger project, so check it on any bid at that size.
