Concrete patio construction in Anaheim CA - a slab set on firm, packed ground
Cracked, sinking patio or dirt out back? We dig out, pack the base and pour a solid, even slab you can set a table on.
What does it take to build a concrete patio in Anaheim?
Concrete patio construction in Anaheim means digging out and packing the ground, setting forms and reinforcement, then pouring and finishing the flat slab that becomes your patio, so you end up with a solid, even space out back.
Most people call us because the old patio is cracked, sinking or pooling water, or because the yard is bare dirt and they're tired of tracking it inside. The price moves with the size, the finish, how much old concrete or dirt has to come out and how close we can get the truck, and the schedule turns mostly on the forecast and on whether the city wants a permit. If you'd like a walk tying the patio to the driveway or side gate, we do concrete sidewalks too, and the estimate gives you a clear price for all of it.
Why homeowners pick us for concrete patios

I'm there from estimate to pour
I come out to give the estimate myself, then work alongside our crew on the build and the pour.
Our own business since 2023
I learned concrete on a local crew after years at a desk job, then started this business in 2023.
Flatwork is what we pour most
Patios, driveways and walks, the flat concrete jobs called flatwork, are the work we're best known for.
Licensed and insured for patio work
We're licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask about both when I come out for the estimate.
Straight answers, even unwelcome ones
I'd rather give you a straight answer you don't like than a vague one that ends up costing you later.
Concrete patio finishes to choose from
The right finish depends on how you use the patio, how much upkeep you'll put up with and your budget, and we sort that out together at the estimate.

Why people trust AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors for patios
It starts with the ground. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and I check where water runs so the patio doesn't drain toward the house. When the budget gets tight, I'll cut back on the finish before the base, because nobody sees the base but it's what keeps the slab from settling.
On pour day the forms and reinforcement, the steel that helps the slab hold together, are already set before the truck shows up, because concrete that sits waiting comes out weaker. We pick that day by the forecast, finish the surface and cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Patio questions we hear in Anaheim
How much does a concrete patio cost in Orange County?
A professionally installed concrete patio in Orange County usually costs about $20 to $35 per square foot, according to one local cost guide. Where yours lands depends on the size, the finish and how much digging it needs, and the estimate gives you a clear price for your own patio.
What is the best finish for a concrete patio?
For most patios, a plain broom finish is the practical pick because the texture keeps the surface from getting slick. Stamped, colored and other decorative work takes skills beyond everyday concrete, so whoever does it needs real experience with that kind of finish, and stamped brings the resealing mentioned above.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It can still get fine cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures, but control joints are there so those cracks follow lines we chose instead of running across the middle. Most of the bad cracking we tear out comes from a base that was raked level instead of packed, joints cut late or skipped, or a pour in the midday heat, and those are the things we plan around.
How long will I be without my patio while it's being built?
You're without it from the day we dig out until the slab has cured, the wait while new concrete hardens and gains strength before it takes furniture and foot traffic. The schedule mostly turns on the forecast and on whether the city wants a permit first, and I'll go over the timing for your job at the estimate.
What is the best time of year to pour a concrete patio in Anaheim?
There's no perfect month, because hot-weather trouble with fresh concrete can happen any time of year, though it generally shows up in summer. A windy, sunny day is harder on fresh concrete than a calm, humid one at the same temperature, which is why we go by the forecast. It's fair to ask any crew how they handle a hot day, since adding water to the mix lowers its strength and makes it shrink more as it dries.
Does a concrete patio contractor need a license in California?
In most cases, yes, and the state licensing board's C-8 concrete contractor class is the one that covers forming, pouring and finishing flat concrete like a patio. The small-job exemption only covers work under $1,000 that needs no permit, done by someone with no employees, so ask any crew for their license before they dig.
