Why a DIY Concrete Patio Can Fall Short

Concrete patios can be a beautiful addition to your backyard. Plus, they add usable space to your outdoors, an ideal investment during Utah’s blazing summers. But if you’ve caught the Pinterest bug and decided that a couple YouTube videos is all it takes to design and install a concrete patio, you may find yourself disappointed with the results.

It’s not necessarily beginner friendly

That’s because concrete takes years to practice and master. It’s not just about getting the mixture right (although that plays a huge part). It’s also about curing times and sealers and how to prep the ground in the first place. Those are things you’ll have to spend more money–and go down more YouTube rabbit holes–to learn.

Meanwhile, we can get your concrete patio designed, laid out, installed and sealed in half the days…leaving you a lot more free time and funds to enjoy your new space.

It’s dependent on your climate

Utah has a unique climate and some interesting soil conditions that aren’t seen all over the United States. Which means the YouTube video you’re following may reflect conditions for New Hampshire or Los Angeles that don’t translate over to your yard here.

Because we’ve gained 20 years of experience as a concrete contractor all across Utah, our team knows which mixes work for your area. Plus, we make sure your patio is supported by eco-friendly materials that allow water to drain instead of washing out your investment.

It can still feel like a family project

Just because you choose to hire a concrete contractor to pour your patio doesn’t make it impersonal. In fact, at RK Concrete we treat every project like it’s the most important one we have. As members of your community, we’re invested in Utah’s growth and future. And that includes your weekend patio installation. 

Our goal is to make your Pinterest dream a reality by providing the highest quality materials at the most affordable price. You get an outdoor space that lasts for decades, and your whole family gets treated with attention and respect. Now that’s the experience you deserve.
