Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt
Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

We are skilled in various aspects of ADA Design, including the minimum number of accessible parking spaces, distance route from accessible entrance, removing barriers to proper access, and properly sized parking spaces for cars and van-accessible spaces.

At Larsco Construction, we help homeowners upgrade their outdoor living space with custom concrete patios built for beauty, comfort, and long-term performance.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio?
Concrete remains one of the most popular materials for outdoor patios and for good reason. It’s strong, low-maintenance, and highly customizable. Unlike wood or pavers, concrete doesn’t rot, shift, or require frequent replacement. With proper installation, it can easily last 30 years or more.
Many homeowners prefer concrete patios because they:
- Offer a clean, modern look that complements most homes
- Can be stamped, stained, or finished in a wide range of textures and colors
- Resist weather-related damage like warping, heaving, or insect infestations
- Are easy to shovel and sweep
- Require little annual upkeep beyond occasional sealing
Whether you want a smooth, classic finish or something decorative and unique, we can tailor your patio design to match your home and outdoor lifestyle.
Our Residential Patio Installation Process
When you hire Larsco Construction, you’re getting more than just a crew you’re getting a complete process built around quality and communication. We handle every aspect of patio construction from site prep to sealing.
Here’s how it works:
!. Initial Site Visit & Design Consultation
We visit your property to assess the area, take measurements, and discuss your vision. Whether you're looking for a simple rectangle or a curved patio with borders, we’ll help you plan a layout that fits your space and use.
2. Excavation & Base Preparation
A strong patio starts with proper sub-base prep. We remove grass, soil, and debris, then add and compact a layer of gravel to stabilize the foundation and improve drainage.
3. Formwork & Reinforcement
We install forms to define the patio shape and ensure clean edges. Reinforcement is added using rebar or wire mesh to help resist cracking and shifting over time.
4. Concrete Pour & Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete and finish it according to your selected texture—broom, smooth, or stamped. Edges are detailed for a crisp, polished look.
5. Curing & Sealing
Once poured, the patio is left to cure properly. We then seal the surface to enhance appearance and protect it from water, salt, and UV damage.
6. Cleanup & Walkthrough
We clean the job site thoroughly and walk you through the final product to make sure you’re 100% satisfied
Popular Uses for Concrete Patios
Concrete patios are highly versatile and can serve a variety of functions depending on your lifestyle and layout. We’ve installed residential patios for:
- Backyard entertaining spaces with room for tables, seating, or fire pits
- Poolside decks with textured, slip-resistant finishes
- Outdoor kitchen bases or grilling areas
- Garden seating areas with integrated planters or walkways
- Small front porches or entry zones that add curb appeal
We also offer add-ons like steps, retaining edges, drainage upgrades, or connecting walkways to seamlessly blend your patio with other parts of your yard.

How Long Does a Concrete Patio Last?
When installed correctly, a concrete patio can last three decades or more. Factors that impact lifespan include:
- Quality of base preparation
- Local climate and exposure to freeze-thaw cycles
- Drainage performance
- Type of finish and sealer used
- Ongoing maintenance
At Larsco, we engineer every patio to resist shifting, cracking, and pooling. We include control joints to manage stress and use proven curing and sealing techniques for long-term durability.
Maintenance Tips for Homeowners
One of the best things about concrete patios is how easy they are to care for. To keep yours looking its best:
- Reseal every 2–3 years to protect color and surface integrity
- Sweep regularly to avoid dirt and debris buildup
- Clean spills promptly to prevent staining
- Avoid using metal shovels or harsh de-icers in winter
- Repair hairline cracks early to prevent spreading
If you ever need maintenance or resealing down the road, we offer follow-up services even for patios we didn’t install.
