Concrete Patios

Your Backyard Deserves Better

A concrete patio is more than just a flat surface. It's where you'll host family barbecues, enjoy morning coffee, and create memories that last a lifetime. Here in Corona, CA, your outdoor space needs to handle everything from scorching summer heat to occasional winter rain. That's why choosing the right contractor matters.

At KeenCraft Corona Concrete, we've been installing concrete patios in Corona since 2024, and we know what works in our local climate. We focus on proper base preparation, correct grading for drainage, and finishing techniques that ensure your patio stays beautiful for decades.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Patio?

When you're planning an outdoor space, you have options: wood decking, pavers, or concrete. Here's why concrete makes sense for most Corona homeowners:

• •Long-lasting durability: A properly installed concrete patio can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
• •Cost-effective: Lower upfront cost than pavers and no ongoing maintenance like wood requires.
• •Design flexibility: From simple broom finishes to stamped decorative concrete that mimics stone or brick.
• •Weather-resistant: Handles Corona's temperature swings better than wood and won't shift like pavers can.

We're not saying concrete is perfect for every situation. But for most residential patios in Corona, it's the smart choice that balances cost, durability, and appearance.

What to Expect When We Install Your Patio

We follow a proven process that ensures your patio will last. Here's how it works:

Site Preparation

We start by excavating to the proper depth and checking the soil conditions. In Corona, we need to account for expansive clay soils in some areas. We compact the subgrade, install a crushed stone base, and verify that everything is graded correctly so water flows away from your home.

Forming and Reinforcement

We set sturdy forms to the exact dimensions you want. Then we add steel reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh) to help prevent cracking. This step is critical, especially for larger patios where thermal expansion can cause problems if not properly addressed.

Pouring and Finishing

We pour high-quality concrete mixed to the right specifications for our climate. Our finishers work the surface to your chosen texture, whether that's a smooth trowel finish, exposed aggregate, or a decorative stamp pattern. Finally, we cut control joints to guide any cracking that might occur as the concrete cures.

Corona-Specific Considerations

Working in Corona means understanding our unique conditions. Summer temperatures regularly hit 95°F or higher, which affects how fast concrete sets and cures. We schedule pours during cooler parts of the day and use curing compounds to prevent rapid moisture loss that can lead to surface cracking.

We also know that proper drainage is essential. Winter rains might not be frequent, but when they come, you don't want water pooling on your patio or running toward your foundation. That's why we pay close attention to slope and grading during installation. It's these details that separate a patio that lasts from one that needs concrete repair work in just a few years.
