Why Choose a Concrete Patio?
A concrete patio is one of the best investments you can make for your outdoor space. Compared to wood decks or paver systems, concrete patios last longer, require less upkeep, and offer a cleaner look that complements your home’s architecture.
Long-lasting and weather-resistant for Massachusetts heat
Concrete doesn’t warp or rot like wood. It stays solid under foot traffic, grill setups, and seasonal sun exposure. With proper reinforcement and finishing, our patios are built to last for decades.
Lower maintenance than pavers or wood decks
No shifting stones, weed gaps, or rotting planks. Concrete patios are easier to clean and don’t need frequent sealing or replacement parts. A basic rinse and reseal every few years is all it takes.
Clean, modern look that improves property value
A well-poured concrete patio adds visual appeal and functional space, increasing your home’s value and curb appeal. From entertaining guests to creating a peaceful retreat, it's an investment that delivers.
Custom options to match your home and lifestyle
We offer a variety of finish styles, shapes, and sizes to help your patio blend seamlessly with your property. Whether you want simple or standout, our team will guide the design to fit your space.
Our Patio Installation Process
We follow a clear, professional process that ensures strength, slope, and style from start to finish.
Every patio is built to match your site conditions and design goals.
Site prep and professional excavation
First, we clear and level the area. Any sod, roots, or old concrete is removed. We use laser-guided leveling to ensure proper slope away from your home for water runoff.
Gravel subbase compaction for drainage
A crushed gravel base is laid and compacted to prevent sinking and allow water to drain. This base is the foundation for your patio's strength and durability.
Formwork and framing setup
We build precise formwork to shape your patio. Clean edges and accurate angles ensure your finished slab matches your intended layout and design.
Steel rebar or mesh reinforcement
To prevent cracking and increase load capacity, we add rebar or welded wire mesh inside the form. This reinforcement ensures your patio can handle furniture, foot traffic, and weather shifts.
Concrete pour with your chosen finish
We pour fresh concrete into the form and apply your preferred finish. Whether you want smooth edges, broom texture, or a decorative stamp, our crew finishes the surface by hand with care.
Concrete pour with your chosen finish
After pouring, the slab is cured to strengthen slowly and evenly. A sealant may be added depending on your finish choice, helping the surface resist moisture, stains, and wear.
Concrete Project Estimate
Stamped patterns (flagstone, ashlar, brick)
Stamped concrete mimics natural stone or tile for a high-end look. Choose from patterns like flagstone, cobblestone, or wood grain for a patio that stands out.
Colored concrete (integral mix or stain options)
We offer both integral pigments and surface stains to bring color into your patio design. From neutral tones to bold accents, colored concrete adds warmth and personality to your space.
Decorative Concrete Finish Options
We provide several finish options that bring texture, style, and performance to your patio. Our team will help you choose the right combination based on your design goals, traction needs, and maintenance preferences.
Broom finish for slip resistance
A standard broom finish is affordable, functional, and textured to reduce slipping. It’s ideal for families, pets, and high-traffic areas.
Exposed aggregate for texture
This option reveals natural stone texture by washing the surface after the pour. It adds visual interest and extra traction while holding up to outdoor conditions.
Borders and inlays for accent design
Custom inlays and edge borders define your space with subtle detail. These features add a polished touch and help separate zones within your patio.
Step transitions and built-in slopes for water flow
We shape the slab with smart elevation changes and gentle slopes to handle drainage. Step transitions provide clean access to your yard, doors, or pool area.
Custom Patio Features We Offer
Your patio should serve your lifestyle. We build features into your slab to make your outdoor space more useful, comfortable, and stylish.
Fire pits and bench seating
We can incorporate recessed fire pit areas or surround your patio with concrete seating. These additions make your patio a hub for evening gatherings.
Patio extensions and walkways
Expand your current patio or connect it to other areas of your yard with poured walkways. This improves flow and usability while maintaining visual consistency.
Outdoor kitchen-ready designs
If you're planning an outdoor kitchen, we can pour thicker pads to support heavy grills, counters, and appliances. We’ll also pre-plan drain slope and layout.

Concrete Commandos Arlington did an outstanding job replacing our old driveway. We didn’t realize how uneven it had gotten until they pointed it out during a free inspection. They explained the process clearly and completed the job ahead of schedule. The new broom-finished concrete looks sharp and drains perfectly.
I called Concrete Commandos Arlington after noticing cracks spreading near the garage. They came out the same day, stabilized the area, and returned a couple of days later to complete a clean and professional repair. Their speed and attention to detail were impressive.
We've worked with a few contractors around Arlington, but none have matched the professionalism of Concrete Commandos. They gave us a straight estimate, showed up when they said they would, and left the site spotless. Our new patio came out even better than we hoped.
I was worried about pouring a slab for our shed because of the slope in our yard, but the team at Concrete Commandos Arlington handled everything perfectly. They graded the area, reinforced the base, and poured a rock-solid slab in two days. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish.
We hired Concrete Commandos Arlington after getting a few quotes. They weren’t the cheapest, but they clearly knew what they were doing. The new walkway they poured around our home turned out flawless, and they even adjusted a few drainage issues we hadn’t caught. Top-notch crew.
Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Patios in Arlington
Thinking about upgrading your backyard with a new concrete patio? Below are answers to the most common questions homeowners in Arlington ask us. Whether you're planning a cozy gathering space or a full outdoor kitchen, we've got you covered.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Most residential patios are poured at 4 inches thick, which is ideal for furniture, grills, and everyday use. In areas with heavier use or outdoor kitchens, we may recommend 5 inches to handle additional weight and ensure long-term strength.
Is rebar included in your patio installations?
Yes. At Concrete Commandos, we reinforce every patio with rebar or welded wire mesh. This added support helps your slab withstand shifting clay soil, temperature swings, and natural wear over time. It is one of the most important steps for durability.
Can you remove my old patio before building a new one?
Definitely. We handle everything from demolition to final cleanup. Our team will tear out your old concrete, haul away debris, regrade the area with compacted gravel, and pour a brand-new slab that is stronger, better-drained, and properly sloped.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches full strength after 28 days, but most patios are ready for light use within 48 hours. We recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture or equipment. Proper curing helps avoid cracks and ensures your patio lasts for decades.
What kinds of finishes can I choose for my patio?
We offer a variety of finish options including broom finish for traction, exposed aggregate for texture, and decorative stamped patterns like flagstone or ashlar. You can also choose integral color or surface stains to match your style. See finish options.
Should I seal my patio after it’s poured?
Sealing is a smart way to protect your investment, especially for decorative or colored concrete. Our sealants help block moisture, reduce fading, and keep the surface looking fresh through hot Massachusetts summers and seasonal changes.
Do you offer custom features like fire pits or seat walls?
Yes, we do. Our patios can be designed with built-in fire pits, concrete seating, step transitions, and even utility-ready pads for outdoor kitchens. Let us help you turn your backyard into a fully functional and relaxing space.
What’s under the concrete patio? Do you use a gravel base?
Absolutely. A properly compacted gravel subbase is the foundation of a long-lasting patio. It improves drainage and prevents the slab from settling or cracking. We never pour concrete directly on soil in Arlington due to the risk of movement.
Do I need a permit to build a patio in Arlington?
Most patio projects require permits. The good news is that Concrete Commandos handles the entire process, including applications, inspections, and HOA paperwork if needed. We make sure everything is done up to code from start to finish.
How much does a concrete patio cost?
Every patio is different. Costs depend on square footage, finish type, site conditions, and add-ons like walkways or seating. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for. Call 339-217-8700 or get your free quote today.
