Muddy Boots Concrete pours concrete patios for homes in Louisville and the towns around it. We build new patios off the back door and add on to patios that feel too small. We also pour pool decks and surrounds. Call or text (502) 889-1624 for a free estimate.
Every patio starts with the layout and the drainage, before a form goes up. The surface can be a plain broom finish or stamped concrete with pattern and color. Patios are one part of our work as a concrete contractor in Louisville. We put the price in writing before any concrete is poured.
Tell us about the job: the pour, the size and where it is. We look at the site and put the quote in writing.
The first question on any patio is where the water goes. The Kentucky Residential Code says hard surfaces within 10 feet of a house must slope away from it. The minimum is 2 percent, about a quarter inch of fall per foot. We build that fall into the forms, so rain runs out to the yard.
Federal soil maps rate most of Jefferson County's soils as slow to take in water when wet. Many have a clay layer within a foot of the surface, and clay swells and shrinks with moisture. So the topsoil and soft spots come out, and a compacted gravel base goes down. Concrete trade guidance says a smooth, evenly compacted base helps prevent cracking.
On a 4 inch slab, a national concrete trade group puts control joints about 10 feet apart. They give shrinking concrete a straight, planned line to crack along. A steep yard may need site grading first, with cut and fill to make a level pad.
A pool deck sees more water and more bare feet than any other slab in the yard. It needs a slope that sheds water and a texture that grips when wet. A broom finish gives that grip, and a stamped deck is an option too. A concrete walkway can link the deck to the patio or the driveway.
A patio extension adds new concrete against an old slab. Where new meets old, an isolation joint lets each slab move on its own. The old slab has to be sound for an add-on to make sense. If it has sunk or cracked through, a tear out and one new slab may serve you better.
Ask about the finish first. A broom finish drags a stiff broom across the fresh concrete, and the ridges grip when wet. A national concrete trade group calls for that kind of texture on outdoor slabs. A stamped finish presses a pattern and color into the surface for the look of stone or brick.
Then ask about steps. Many patios sit below the back door or above the yard. Concrete steps and landings join the two levels, and we can pour them with the patio.
Ask how the slab will be cured, too. Curing keeps new concrete damp while it gains strength. Concrete left to dry out early can lose as much as half its potential strength, per the same trade group.
