Patios Designed for Outdoor Living and Oklahoma's Harsh Elements in Oklahoma City
Durable Concrete Surfaces That Expand Your Living Space
If you're adding a patio to your Oklahoma City home, you need a surface that holds up against intense sun exposure, sudden storms, and years of foot traffic. A well-built patio extends your living space outdoors, provides a stable area for furniture and grills, and increases property value. Poor installation leads to cracking, uneven settling, and drainage problems that undermine the entire structure.
Rick Houck Concrete installs patios with precise forming, proper grading, and clean edges that create a polished, professional look. Whether you prefer a basic finish or decorative enhancements, the foundation remains the same: a structurally sound slab designed to handle Oklahoma's temperature swings and weather extremes. Each project is tailored to complement the home's design and integrate with existing landscaping.
Building Patios That Resist Sun Damage and Storm Stress
Concrete in Oklahoma City is exposed to UV rays that can degrade surface finishes and heat that causes expansion during summer months. Storm runoff and freeze-thaw cycles add stress, especially if drainage isn't managed correctly. A patio built without accounting for these factors will show signs of wear within the first few years.
Site prep includes evaluating soil conditions, compacting the subgrade, and designing drainage pathways to keep water moving away from the slab and your home's foundation. Control joints are placed to manage expansion and contraction, reducing the risk of random cracking. Finishes are applied to resist surface wear and provide a texture that's both attractive and functional.
