This custom colored concrete patio was completed in Sturgis, Michigan for a homeowner looking to improve the outdoor area beside their home. The new patio provides a clean, attractive and durable surface while creating additional space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding landscape.
The selected concrete color complements the home's brick exterior, screened porch and existing landscaping. Careful attention was given to the patio's layout, edges, control joints and connection to the concrete step leading into the screened porch.
Colored concrete provides more design flexibility than traditional gray concrete while retaining the strength and durability expected from a professionally installed concrete patio. The color gives the patio a distinctive appearance without taking attention away from the home and surrounding garden.
The project also included a coordinated concrete step at the screened-porch entrance. Its placement provides a practical transition between the patio and porch while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the completed outdoor space.
A successful concrete patio begins with thoughtful planning and proper site preparation. The patio was carefully laid out to fit the available space beside the home, accommodate the existing entrance and landscaping, and provide a functional surface with clearly defined edges and control joints. Steel rebar reinforcement was installed within the concrete to provide additional strength and long-term durability.
The completed colored concrete patio provides the homeowner with a durable, low-maintenance outdoor area designed for years of use. Its custom color and clean layout enhance the property while allowing the surrounding brickwork, porch and landscaping to remain important parts of the overall design.
