Concrete Patios in Somerville, MA
Expand Your Living Space with Custom Concrete Patios
We’re going to show how a concrete patio transforms your underutilized backyard space into an enjoyable outdoor living area. At Somerville Concrete Masters, we develop and install custom concrete patios designed with your New England climate in mind. Additionally, they will be strong enough to support your outdoor furniture, grill, and entertaining needs.
A concrete patio is much more than a flat slab of concrete in your yard. It is an outdoor space that has to have adequate drainage slopes, reinforcements to help prevent cracking, and finishes that are aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Therefore, as your local concrete patio contractor in Somerville, MA, we will complete all aspects of your project from design to installation.

Concrete Patio Designs for Every Style
We build custom concrete patio ideas to meet your specific house design and your lifestyle of outdoor living. Concrete patio designs can be as basic as a rectangular shape or as elaborate as multi-level designs with built-in features such as fireplaces, kitchen areas, and seating walls.
In designing a concrete patio, we consider the placement of furniture, traffic paths, sun exposure, and how it connects to adjacent buildings. In addition to creating a beautiful surface area, we also plan to drain water from the surface area so that water does not collect in pools, and we install expansion joints to control cracks in the slab.
Concrete Patio Finishes
We offer multiple concrete patio finishes to achieve your desired look and function:
Broom Finish: This is a classic texture that provides slip resistance & will hide small imperfections. It is also a good option for many types of weather.
Smooth Trowel Finish: This is a modern, sleek surface that is great for modern design. It will create clean lines and work well with modernist architecture.
Exposed Aggregate Finish: This finish has aggregate embedded into the mix, which creates a textured, decorative surface with a natural appearance & excellent slip resistance.
Stamped Patterns: Patterns such as stone, brick, or tile replicate those surfaces on your concrete patio. Please see our stamped concrete page for more details on stamping options as well as differences between stamped concrete & a concrete patio.
Enhanced Patio Features
Concrete Patio and Fire Feature Combination
Combining a concrete patio with a fire feature will create an attention-grabbing focal point in which to entertain outdoors. When designing the location of the fire feature, we consider how it best fits your seating arrangement as well as how to provide adequate clearance between the fire feature and surrounding structures. In addition, we plan the patio to accommodate the weight of the fire feature(s) if they are built-in, or to safely support portable fire feature options.
Concrete Patio and Retaining Wall Combination
On sloping lots, concrete patio and retaining wall combinations can be used to increase the amount of usable yard area. We design our retaining walls to hold back the soil while creating level ground for patios. The combination of a retaining wall and patio converts unusable space on sloping lots to useful outdoor living space.
Concrete Patio and Pergola
Are you planning to install a concrete patio pergola system? If so, we plan your patio with reinforced footings installed where the pergola post is planned to be located. By doing this, we allow you to have a patio that will structurally support the pergola without having unsightly footings under the patio surface.
Concrete Patio vs Pavers
When comparing concrete patio vs. pavers, consider these factors:
Installation: Concrete is installed faster and cheaply than pavers. Pavers require much preparation of base material and are individually placed.
Maintenance: The concrete requires sealer periodically to keep it looking new; pavers require weed control in the spaces between them (or under paver sand), leveling of areas that have settled, and replacement of damaged pavers.
Appearance: Concrete has endless color and design possibilities through stamping; pavers offer textured dimension, but they are limited by what shapes are available.
Longevity: Both can last decades if properly installed. A concrete patio will be a single, smooth surface and won’t have the movement of individual pavers or weeds growing through the gaps.
