Concrete Patio Contractor · Deer Park, IL
Concrete Patios in Deer Park, IL
Broom, exposed aggregate and troweled patios, pitched away from the house so water never sits against the foundation. Serving Deer Park from Waukegan.
Concrete patios for Deer Park properties
Deer Park has acre lots and larger homes built from the 1980s on, and that shapes how we approach concrete patios here. Locally the thing we run into most is acre-plus lots with long driveways and heavy tree cover that keeps slabs damp.
We pour patios across Lake County and southeast Wisconsin, sized and shaped to the yard rather than to whatever was easiest to form.
Grade comes first
A patio sloping toward the house sends every rainfall and every snowmelt straight at the foundation. On a lot where the patio meets the back steps, that is the most expensive mistake available.
Steps, landings and edges
Where the patio meets the back stairs, the transition gets formed and poured with the slab instead of patched afterward. Steps, landings and low sitting walls go in at the same time so everything moves together.

Deer Park concrete patios FAQ
How much does a concrete patio cost?
It depends on square footage, finish, access and whether an old slab has to come out. We quote after seeing the site rather than guessing from a phone call.
How long does a concrete patio last?
On a compacted base with correct jointing and drainage, decades. The failures we get called to fix are almost always base or grade, not the concrete.
Can you pour a patio over an existing one?
Only where the existing slab is sound, and even then it raises the height against your door threshold. Usually the old one comes out.
Do you charge extra to work in Deer Park?
Deer Park is inside Lake County and we cover it from Waukegan with no trip charge.
How soon can you start in Deer Park?
It depends on the season and whether a permit is involved. Spring and early fall book up fastest. Call and we will give you a realistic date with the quote.
