A Flat Surface That Stays Put

You step into the backyard and your feet sink into grass that turns to mud after every rain. Chairs wobble on uneven ground, and setting up a grill or table means finding a spot that will not tip. In Shreveport, outdoor spaces that lack a solid surface become hard to use for more than a few months of the year. A concrete patio gives you a clean, level area that drains properly, holds furniture without shifting, and stays usable no matter how much it rains the night before.

Shreveport Concrete & Patios installs new concrete patio slabs for backyards, side yards, and covered outdoor areas throughout Shreveport. Each patio is built with attention to drainage control, durability, and a clean finish that withstands Louisiana heat, rain, and seasonal ground movement. The work includes site preparation, forming, and pouring to create a slab designed for how you plan to use the space. Patios are common across single-family neighborhoods and expanding suburbs where homeowners want outdoor living areas that require little upkeep.

The installation begins by marking the patio area and removing sod or topsoil to reach stable ground. In Shreveport, this step accounts for clay soil that shifts with moisture and heat. The base is leveled, graded for proper drainage away from the house, and compacted to prevent settling. Forms are placed to define the edges and thickness of the slab, and reinforcement is added before the concrete is poured and finished to your preferred texture.

After the patio cures, you will have a flat, stable surface that does not puddle when it rains and does not shift under furniture or foot traffic. Chairs sit level, grills stay steady, and you can walk outside barefoot without stepping in mud or uneven patches. The slab holds up under the weight of outdoor furniture, planters, and regular use without cracking or sinking during the first several years.

Patio projects vary in size and shape depending on your yard layout and how you plan to use the space. The concrete takes about a week to cure before it can support heavy furniture. Finishing options include broom texture for traction or smoother surfaces for covered areas. Work is completed with cleanup and removal of excavated material.

Homeowners planning a patio often have questions about size, placement, and how the concrete will perform in their yard. These are the questions that come up most before work begins.
