Stamped & Concrete Patios in Naperville, IL
Broom, exposed aggregate or stamped patios, pitched away from the house so water never sits against the foundation. Serving Naperville from our Avondale shop.
Concrete patios for Naperville properties
Naperville has large subdivisions from the 1980s onward plus a historic core, and that changes how we approach concrete patios here. The specific thing we run into most is addition and garage foundations.
We pour patios across Chicago and the suburbs in broom, troweled, exposed aggregate and stamped finishes, sized and shaped to the yard rather than to whatever was easiest to form.
Grade comes first
A patio that slopes toward the house sends every rainfall and every snowmelt straight at the foundation. On a city lot where the patio meets the back steps and the gangway, that is the single most expensive mistake available.
Patios on tight city lots
Chicago is one of the hardest climates in the country on concrete. The freeze-thaw cycle runs from November into March, de-icing salt goes down on every driveway and public walk, and the clay soil underneath holds water instead of draining it. Concrete that survives here is air-entrained, poured on a compacted stone base, pitched so water leaves, jointed on a proper grid, and kept away from salt through its first winter.
How the job runs in Naperville

- Form to the pitchForms set to fall away from the structure, checked before anything is poured.

Naperville concrete patios FAQ
How much does a concrete patio cost in Chicago?
It depends on square footage, finish and access. A broom-finish patio in an open yard is the low end; stamped concrete behind a two-flat with a narrow gangway is the high end. We quote after seeing the site.
Is stamped concrete slippery?
It can be when wet, particularly smoother patterns. We use a slip-resistant additive in the sealer where the patio gets rain or borders a pool.
How long does a concrete patio last?
On a properly compacted base with correct jointing and drainage, decades. The failures we get called to fix are almost always base or grade, not the concrete itself.
Do you charge extra to work in Naperville?
No. Naperville is inside our normal service area from Avondale. The estimate reflects the job, not the drive.
How soon can you start in Naperville?
It depends on the season and the permit, if one is needed. Spring and early fall book up fastest. Call and we will give you a realistic date with the quote.
