Your backyard becomes an outdoor room when you have a solid place to stand. We pour patios level, slope them away from the house so water drains, and finish them in stamped, exposed-aggregate or plain concrete. Narrow gates and tight yards are routine for us, and every project begins with a free written estimate.
A patio that lasts through Laval's freeze-thaw cycles starts below grade. We excavate to proper depth, lay a compacted granular base, and set forms with a two-percent slope away from the house so meltwater and rain shed instead of pooling on the slab.
The concrete mix is air-entrained to resist winter damage. Control joints are cut on a layout that matches the patio's shape, and on a stamped pour those joints disappear into the pattern. The result is a slab that moves predictably and stays level underfoot.
We tie patios into the broader landscape, connecting them to driveway edges, entry steps, and retaining walls so the whole yard reads as one cohesive concrete system.

The sequence
How a Concrete Patio Gets Built
Site layout and access plan
We walk the yard with you, mark the patio footprint, confirm the slope direction, and determine whether a truck can back in or if we pump and wheelbarrow the concrete.
Excavate, base, and form
The area is dug to depth, a compacted granular base is installed, and wooden or metal forms are set to the finished height and drainage slope.
Pour, screed, and finish
The air-entrained concrete is placed, screeded flat, and finished to your chosen style: stamped pattern, exposed aggregate, or a clean broom finish.
Joint, cure, and handoff
Control joints are cut on layout, the slab cures under cover, and we clean the site and provide you with the cure schedule and use timeline.

Patio Finishes for Every Budget
The finish you choose shapes both the look and the cost. A plain concrete patio is the most economical option, a straightforward flat surface that holds furniture, grills, and tables without any pattern or texture.
Move up to stamped concrete and you get a slate, flagstone, or wood-plank impression pressed into the slab. Exposed aggregate washes back the surface to reveal the stone, adding natural texture and slip resistance. If your existing slab is sound but tired, patio resurfacing refreshes it without a full tear-out and rebuild.
Pricing, access, finishes and timeline for concrete patios in Laval.
Concrete patios in Laval generally run $12 to $20 per square foot depending on the finish, the size and access to the yard. A plain patio sits at the low end; stamped work runs higher. Every quote is written and itemised after a site measure.
Yes. Most Laval backyards are reached with a concrete pump or wheelbarrow runs when a truck cannot back in. We check access on the free estimate and build the method into the quote, so a narrow gate is not a dealbreaker.
We build a deliberate slope away from the house into the base and forms, usually around two percent, so rain and meltwater run off instead of sitting on the slab or draining toward the foundation.
All concrete moves, so we control where. A compacted base, an air-entrained mix and control joints cut on layout keep shrinkage in the joint line. On a stamped patio those joints tuck into the pattern.
Most patios are placed in a day. You can walk on it within 24 to 48 hours and put furniture out after about a week. We give you the exact cure schedule when we hand it over.

What Laval Homeowners Say About Their Concrete Patios
Stamped a slate pattern across the whole patio. The colour matched the sample and the joints disappear into the pattern, exactly like they said they would.

Our yard has a narrow side gate so I assumed concrete was out. They pumped it over the fence and the patio drains away from the house perfectly.

Went with a plain broom finish to keep the budget down. It is flat, clean and the furniture sits level. No regrets going simple.

Resurfaced a tired old patio instead of tearing it out. Looks new, cost a fraction of a full replacement, and they were honest that the slab was still good.
