This custom colored concrete patio was completed by Marc Todd Concrete in Sturgis, Michigan. The homeowner wanted to improve the outdoor area beside the home while creating an attractive, durable surface 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, finished edges, control joints and connection to the concrete step leading into the screened porch.
Colored concrete provides greater design flexibility than traditional gray concrete while retaining the strength and durability expected from a professionally constructed patio. The color gives the finished surface a customized appearance without distracting from the home and surrounding garden.
The project also included a coordinated concrete step at the screened-porch entrance. Its placement creates a practical transition between the patio and porch while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the completed outdoor area.
A long-lasting concrete patio begins with thoughtful planning and proper site preparation. The patio was 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.
Steel rebar reinforcement was installed within the concrete to provide additional strength. Planned control joints were also incorporated to help manage the natural movement that occurs as concrete cures and responds to seasonal temperature changes.
The completed patio provides a durable, low-maintenance outdoor living area designed for years of use. Its custom color and clean layout enhance the property while allowing the brickwork, porch and landscaping to remain important parts of the overall design.
