Your outdoor living space should make you want to step outside. If your patio is cracked or turns into a puddle every time it rains, it’s hard to enjoy it.

You deserve a backyard you’ll actually use more often. Whether it’s for family dinners, cozy parties, or just relaxing after work. Our outdoor patio contractors finish the job and restore the yard before leaving. We serve Brookfield, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, and Whitefish Bay..

Do You Need A Retaining Wall For A Patio?

Not always. A flat lot just needs a solid compacted gravel base and proper grading. But if your yard slopes harder than 1/8 inch per foot, that’s a different conversation.

A concrete patio installation needs level ground underneath it. The slab itself gets a slight pitch so rain drains away from your house. But the base has to be flat. Pouring on a slope steeper than that causes shifting over time. Slowly at first, then you’ve got cracks and a replacement bill you weren’t planning for.

When the yard slopes away from the house, we cut into the slope to create a level platform. That cut leaves an exposed soil face on the uphill side. Without a retaining wall holding it back, that soil erodes every spring and the concrete follows it downhill. 

We run a perforated drainpipe in crushed stone behind every wall we build. Water pressure from behind is what makes retaining walls fail early. That pipe clears it before it becomes your problem. 

Across Elm Grove, Greenfield, Hales Corners, and Muskego, our patio builders ensure proper grading from the start. So you don’t have to worry about settling or drainage problems for years.

Wisconsin’s weather doesn’t forgive shortcuts. We’ve spent over 15 years building concrete patios in Waukesha, New Berlin, Pewaukee, and Whitefish Bay. Here, freeze-thaw cycles and the shifting soil test every slab. That’s why our concrete patio installation involves reinforcing, installing drainage, base preparing, and smart grading.

Outdoor Living Spaces Built for Muddy Springs & Hard Freezes

Custom Concrete Patios

Custom Concrete Patios

Your concrete patio installation is what everything else in the yard sits on, literally. If the concrete slab is bad, harsh weather will show it fast. That’s why we pour reinforced concrete with steel grids and deep control joints, so any cracks stay where they belong and not across your surface. Want the look of stone without the upkeep? Stamped concrete patio patterns mirror flagstone and brick and resist weed growth.

Structural Retaining Walls

Structural Retaining Walls

If your lot is sloped, a retaining wall is usually step one. Letting the ground slope unchecked just sends spring thaw water straight to your foundation. Our retaining wall contractors build poured concrete and gravity block walls with gravel backfill, plus built-in weep holes to let pressure out instead of trapping it. The result? Controlled runoff and yard space you can use for a long time.

Concrete Fire Pits & Seating Walls

Concrete Fire Pits & Seating Walls

We build concrete fire pits with special heat-resistance that can handle the hottest flames. That way, your fire pit won’t crack or break down after a few good bonfires. Our outdoor living contractor can also install built-in seating walls. So your guests stay put instead of dragging chairs from the garage floor every time.

Custom Poolside Decks

Custom Poolside Decks

Concrete outlasts paver patios around water every time. We pour slip-resistant pool decks built for chlorine and salt exposure. Every concrete deck stays stable through freeze-thaw cycles. Our concrete company also grades the surface so water moves away from the pool edge. Your deck stays cool in the sun and level year after year.

Concrete Outdoor Bars & Countertops

Concrete Outdoor Bars & Countertops

Outdoor cooking calls for surfaces that don’t blink at heat or moisture. Our concrete bar tops won’t fade or crack, even with regular use. We use concrete sealers to keep grease and food stains from soaking in. For a seamless look, we tie bar tops and countertops right into your outdoor layout.

Driveways

Your concrete driveway withstands the heaviest traffic. You want properly reinforced concrete over a compacted gravel base that actually drains. If you need your driveway looking sharp instead of spider-cracked, talk to our driveway contractors.

Walkways

Our residential contractors build walkways with clean grading and tight forms. Slope and drainage are very important, so the water doesn’t sit and turn into ice. Let’s help you install concrete walkways that look presentable for decades.

Concrete sealing/resealing

Your concrete driveway withstands the heaviest traffic. You want properly reinforced concrete over a compacted gravel base that actually drains. If you need your driveway looking sharp instead of spider-cracked, talk to our driveway contractors.

Pressure washing

Concrete looks tired? Our pressure washing service strips off years of grime, algae, and salt buildup. We use the right PSI and controlled passes to avoid etching lines into the slab.

Concrete cleaning

Some concrete stains, like oil spots or rust marks, need more than pressure. We’ll use targeted cleaners and a chemical treatment to erase those stains you thought were permanent. Concrete cleaning also extends your concrete’s life and preps it for sealing.

Outdoor living

For a backyard retreat, you want more than a patio. You’re probably thinking of a seating wall, room for a grill station, a fire pit. Maybe stamped or stained concrete that looks like natural stone without the maintenance. Our backyard designers can make it happen.

Fire pits

A concrete fire pit is more than a ring of blocks. A proper concrete construction company will use heat-resistant materials and safe clearances. We can build your outdoor fire pit however you like—gas or wood burning, built-in seating or standalone.

Swimming pool installation

Our pool builders build decks and swimming pools that don’t just look sharp, but stay safe year after year. Pool installation is highly precise and detailed work, and your landscape matters a lot. Give our concrete pool contractors a call to get it right the first time.

Retaining walls

Yards in Southeast Wisconsin aren’t always flat. So retaining walls are a smart way to hold back soil and stop erosion before it becomes a foundation problem. They can also look very aesthetic. Reach out for quality retaining wall installations.

What Kind Of Concrete Is Used For Patios?

Air-entrained concrete rated at around 4,000 PSI is used for patio construction. It sits on a compacted gravel base and is reinforced with steel for extra strength. Air-entrainment is a big deal for Wisconsin patios and concrete driveway jobs. It creates tiny air pockets inside the slab. When water freezes and expands, those pockets give it room to move instead of forcing cracks through the concrete surface.

Without it, your slab will look fine at first. One or two winters in, you’ll start seeing flaking and edge breakdown.

FAQs About Outdoor Concrete Service

What is the cost of a 20x20 concrete patio?

A 20×20 concrete patio costs between $2,400 and $6,500 for a standard concrete patio installation. It includes a basic broom finish. Decorative stamped concrete patios or exposed aggregate finishes can push the cost past $11,000. The final cost depends on grading, design, thickness, and site prep.

Which is better, a concrete patio or a paver patio?

This comes down to maintenance and your soil. A poured concrete patio is one solid slab. So there are no joints for weeds or moss to work through. Paver patio contractors will tell you that pavers are easier to replace piece by piece. That’s true, but they also shift and need re-leveling more often. Concrete costs more upfront and lasts longer.

How high can I build a retaining wall without an engineer?

In most Wisconsin municipalities, retaining walls up to 4 feet tall don’t require an engineer. For over 4 feet, you need engineered permits and inspections. It’s because taller walls must handle much greater soil pressure safely.

Will a concrete fire pit crack?

A concrete fire pit can crack if it’s built with standard concrete. Use refractory, heat-resistant concrete and a firebrick lining to handle constant high temperatures. Proper clearance from your home and fencing also helps prevent heat damage.

How long does it take for a new concrete patio to cure?

A new concrete patio is ready for light foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours. Wait about a week before placing heavy furniture or a grill on it. While the surface hardens quickly, a concrete patio continues curing for 28 days to reach its full strength. Hold off on concrete sealing until that curing process is complete.
