New concrete patio project in Upper Arlington OH
At this job, the homeowner wanted a big concrete patio across the back of the house to open up the yard for entertaining.
The before photo shows the fresh pour with our crew in their orange shirts down on the surface, floating and brooming the concrete before it set. The after photo shows the finished patio, a large flat slab with a clean broom finish and control joints cut into even panels, running the full width along the back of the brick house next to the enclosed porch.
See what our customers have to say:
Wood forms held the shape around the outside while the concrete cured. People ask us why a patio needs those control joints just like a driveway does. Any big slab of concrete is going to move a little as the ground shifts and the temperature swings, and the joints give it a planned place to do that so you don’t end up with cracks running all over the surface.
Upper Arlington has a lot of homes with roomy backyards, and a patio this size really opens up how a family can use the space out back. We slope a patio like this just slightly away from the house too, so rainwater runs off into the yard instead of pooling against the foundation.
Why Patios Need Control Joints
Those straight lines cut into a patio are not just for looks. Concrete shrinks a little as it cures and moves with the seasons, and control joints give it a set place to crack out of sight instead of wandering across the slab. Keeping them clear of dirt and weeds lets them do their job for the life of the patio.
