Why Concrete Is the Best Choice for Your Patio

A patio is more than just a slab of concrete in your backyard. It is where you grill on weekends, relax after work, and host family gatherings. That is why it needs to be built right the first time. At Premier Aiken Concrete, we pour patios that stand up to heavy foot traffic, extreme weather, and years of everyday use without cracking or settling.

Concrete patios outlast wood decks by a wide margin. Wood rots, warps, and needs staining every couple of years. Concrete stays flat, resists moisture, and requires almost no maintenance. A quick rinse with a hose is all it takes to keep it looking fresh. And if you want something more decorative, we offer stamped and colored finishes that give you the look of natural stone at a fraction of the cost.

We work with homeowners across Aiken, SC to design patios that fit their space, their budget, and their vision. Whether you want a cozy sitting area or a full outdoor living space with built-in seating walls, we can make it happen.

Designed for Aiken Backyards and Weather

Aiken gets its fair share of rain, heat, and humidity. That means your patio needs to handle water drainage, temperature swings, and moisture without cracking or staining. We design every patio with a slight slope for runoff and use high-quality concrete mixes that resist cracking caused by temperature changes.

Our local knowledge also means we understand the soil conditions in your neighborhood. Clay-heavy soil can shift and cause slabs to settle unevenly if the base is not done right. We take extra care with compaction and use proper base materials to give your patio a stable foundation that will not shift over the years.

When you choose Premier Aiken Concrete, you are working with people who live and work right here in Aiken. We care about doing quality work because our reputation depends on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential patios are poured at 4 inches thick, which provides plenty of strength for foot traffic, patio furniture, and grills. If you plan to park heavy equipment or add a hot tub, we may recommend going up to 6 inches with extra reinforcement. We will assess your specific needs during the free consultation.

Yes, you can add a decorative overlay or stain to an existing concrete patio. However, it is usually more cost-effective and better looking to choose your finish during the initial pour. Stamped patterns and integral colors are applied while the concrete is still wet, which gives a more natural and durable result.

You can walk on your new patio within 24 to 48 hours after the pour. We recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture or grills on the surface. Full curing takes about 28 days, but you can enjoy light use well before that. We will give you specific care instructions on pour day.
