Concrete Patios in Smithfield, RI
A poured concrete patio is the most durable, lowest-maintenance way to add usable outdoor living space to a Smithfield home. We build them on a compacted base, pitched to drain, jointed to stay flat — in a plain broom finish or a stamped, colored surface.
Scope of work
From layout to last joint
Most patios we pour in Smithfield sit off a slider, a deck, or a walkout basement — behind homes in Greenville, on the sloped lots near Georgiaville Pond, and in the newer developments where the yard needs a level surface to be useful at all.
- Layout & excavation. Shape and size staked on the ground so you can stand in it before we dig; sod and soil removed to depth.
- Compacted base. Processed gravel placed and plate-compacted so the slab bears evenly and doesn't settle at the edges.
- Pitch. A slight, deliberate slope — about 1/8 inch per foot — away from the house so water never sits against the foundation.
- Forming & reinforcement. Forms set for square corners and clean radius curves; fiber or steel reinforcement based on size.
- Pour & finish. 4-inch slab, air-entrained mix, then the finish you choose — broom, smooth-trowel with a broomed border, exposed aggregate, or stamped.
- Joints & edges. Control joints cut on a layout that reads as part of the design, tooled edges all around, isolation joint where the patio meets the house.

Finish options
Ways to finish a patio slab
Broom finish
The workhorse. Even texture, good grip when wet, easy to keep clean, and the most budget-friendly way to get a solid patio.
Stamped & colored
Pressed patterns — ashlar slate, random stone, wood plank — with integral color and an accent release, for the look of a paver patio in one continuous pour.
Exposed aggregate
The top mortar washed back to reveal the stone. Naturally slip-resistant and hides wear well over the years.
Smooth with a border
A hard-troweled field framed by a broomed or stamped band — clean and modern, with traction where the edges matter.
Living with it
Maintenance is minimal
A poured patio doesn't need re-leveling, weeding between joints, or annual polymeric sand like a paver surface does. Rinse it off, and seal it every two to three years — more often for stamped and colored work, which benefits from a fresh coat to keep the color rich.
Through the first winter, use sand rather than de-icer for traction while the surface fully cures.
Pairs well with
Do it in one mobilization
If a walkway needs to connect the patio to the driveway, or the driveway itself is due, pouring them together saves a second setup and keeps the finish and color consistent across every surface.
