Why Choose a Concrete Patio
Concrete patios are a popular choice in the Rochester area because they perform well in changing weather. Snow, ice, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles can damage weaker surfaces. Concrete holds up when it is installed correctly.
- Strong and long-lasting surface
- Low maintenance compared to wood or loose stone
- Custom finishes and patterns available
- Works well with steps, walkways, and pool decks
Concrete pool decks are designed for strength and safety, but like all concrete, small surface characteristics are normal. We believe in setting clear expectations. Visit our Understanding Concrete page to learn how concrete performs in real-world conditions.
Types of Concrete Patios We Install
Stamped Concrete Patios
Stamped concrete patios add texture and patterns that can resemble stone or brick. This option gives your patio a decorative look while keeping the strength of concrete. Learn more about stamped concrete patios.
Broom Finish Concrete Patios
Broom finish concrete patios have a lightly textured surface that improves grip and traction. This finish is created by brushing the surface while the concrete is still fresh, leaving small grooves that help prevent slipping.
Broom finish patios are a great choice for homeowners who want a clean, simple look that performs well in all seasons. They are especially popular near pools, walkways, and areas that get wet from rain or snow.
In Rochester and Webster, broom-finished concrete is often chosen because it handles freeze-thaw cycles well and requires very little maintenance. It is a practical option for patios that see regular use throughout the year.
Decorative Concrete Patios
Decorative concrete patios can include borders, color options, and custom layouts. These patios are designed to fit your yard and how you plan to use the space, whether that means entertaining guests or relaxing with family.

Built for Rochester and Webster Weather
Concrete patios in Western New York need to handle big weather changes. Spring brings melting snow and rain. Summer brings heat and heavy use. Fall adds moisture from leaves, and winter brings freezing temperatures.
Our patios are built to manage water and reduce cracking caused by freeze-thaw cycles. This is especially important in areas near Lake Ontario, Irondequoit Bay, and the Genesee River.
Concrete Patios vs Other Patio Options
Concrete patios are often chosen over other materials because they stay solid and require less upkeep. Unlike loose pavers or gravel, concrete does not shift over time when installed correctly.
Concrete is also a good choice when connecting patios to walkways, driveways, or pool decks.
