Patch the old patio or pour a new one?
I'll tell you straight if a patch will do. Mostly it comes down to whether the old slab is still level and sound, or the ground under it has moved.
A patch is enough when:
- Cracks are thin and not growing
- The slab is still level
- No corners have dropped
- The surface is still hard
- You're happy with the size
A new patio makes sense when:
- Sections have sunk or tilted
- Cracks keep getting wider
- The top is flaking away
- You want it bigger or reshaped
- There's no patio there yet

A visit on the calendar
I walk your yard
I look at the ground, ask how you'll use the patio and talk through any old slab, tight access or trees so they're in the estimate.
A look at your yard
Your written estimate
You get it in writing with what's included and what isn't, where the joints will go, and whether mesh or rebar makes sense for your slab.
A written estimate
Paperwork and pour planning
If you go ahead, we check which office covers your address, sort out any paperwork the job needs and plan the pour with you.
A pour day planned
Form, pour and finish
Our own crew sets the forms, pours and finishes the slab while I'm on site to answer questions, and we clean up before we leave.
A finished patio
What our concrete patio work includes
Digging out the base
We dig down to firm soil and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, instead of just raking it level.
Forms and layout
We set forms to your size and shape, and can add a path out to it through our concrete sidewalk building work.
Mesh or rebar if needed
Rebar is steel bar that holds a slab together, and we use it or wire mesh only where your patio needs it.
Pour and broom finish
We pour the slab and give it a broom finish, a light texture for grip, or a pattern from our stamped concrete services.
Control joints
We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, where we showed you before the pour.
Curing the slab
We keep the slab from drying out while it cures, the stretch when it hardens, before you put weight on it.
What sets the price of a concrete patio?
Size comes first, then how thick the slab is and whether it gets mesh or rebar. A pattern, a stain or a coating adds to it. So does the site, because breaking out an old patio, working around trees, or getting into a tight, sloped or rocky yard all take extra time and hands. I bring these up at the walk through so they're in the estimate and not a surprise later.
If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base. The base is buried on day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut, but it's what keeps the patio from settling. The schedule mostly turns on the weather and the cure, and your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't.
Why Enterprise homeowners trust us with their patios
I learned concrete on a flatwork crew here in the valley, pouring the slabs that sit on the ground like patios and driveways, and I started this business in 2013. I still come out to look at the job myself. Our own crew forms, pours and finishes your patio, and I'm on site on pour days, so the person who wrote your estimate is there when it goes in.
You get straight answers. If your old patio only needs a patch, I'll say so, because I'd rather lose a bid than sell you work you don't need. If something is out of our hands, I tell you before we start. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
- I walk your yard myself

How much does a concrete patio cost in Enterprise, NV?
One Las Vegas area cost guide puts a concrete patio at about $6 to $12 per square foot. Where yours falls depends on the size, thickness, reinforcement, finish and site work covered above. Your written estimate puts a number on your yard.
How do I keep a new concrete patio from cracking?
You can't stop every crack, but properly designed joints control where cracks happen and keep them small. Since no slab is crack-free, compare bids by their joint plans instead of by promises. We show you where ours go before we pour.
Is wire mesh worth it for a concrete patio?
For a typical home patio, wire mesh is often a good choice that costs less than rebar, according to one industry guide. Either one adds to the price over a plain slab. I'll tell you whether mesh, rebar or neither makes sense for your yard.
Why would a crew pour a concrete patio at an odd hour in Enterprise?
Because heat is hard on fresh concrete, and the industry's hot weather guide says to schedule the pour for a time of day or night when the weather is favorable. So your pour time may follow the forecast, and we'll plan yard access with you. One maker's guide also says not to add water to cool the mix or make it easier to work, since that can weaken the slab, so it's fair to ask any crew how they handle hot days.
What causes a concrete patio to sink in the Las Vegas Valley?
Usually the ground under it moves, either because the base was raked flat instead of packed or because of the soil itself. Clark County's soil map flags some parts of the valley for special care because of clay that swells, gypsum salt or other expansive soil, while other parts are loose sand and gravel laid down by water. The county says your lot can differ a lot from its map and suggests a design professional for site-specific advice, so I look at your ground at the walk through and tell you if it needs more than we can judge.
Does a concrete patio contractor in Nevada need a license?
Yes, concrete contracting is one of the trades licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board. We're licensed and fully insured.
