The kinds of concrete patio we pour
Broom-finished patio slab
A plain slab with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes and bare feet some grip. It suits most backyard patios and dining areas.
Stamped or decorative patio
Concrete pressed with a pattern or colored to look like stone or tile, for a patio that's meant to be looked at as much as used.
What does it take to build a concrete patio in Anaheim?
Concrete patio construction in Anaheim, CA is a job where our crew digs out and packs the ground, sets the forms and steel, then pours and finishes a flat slab that gives you a solid, usable space outside.
Most people who call us have an old slab that's cracked, sunk at one corner or holding puddles, or a bare patch of yard they'd like to use. The price moves with the patio's size, how much old concrete has to come out, the finish you choose and how easily our crew can reach the backyard. The schedule turns on any permit the city needs, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait before use while the concrete gains strength. If the budget is tight, I'd suggest a plainer finish over a cheaper base, because you can dress up a surface later but you can't fix what's underneath without tearing it out. When I come out to measure, the estimate gives you the figure for your own patio.
From dig-out to finish on your concrete patio
I start from how you'll use the patio and where the water runs, then we plan the base, the steel and the finish around that, so nothing is left to sort out on pour day.
Dig out and pack the base
We dig out the old slab and loose dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, since that's where settling starts.
Forms and steel first
We set the forms and lay rebar, steel that holds the slab together, before delivery, because delays after it arrives weaken the slab.
Pour on the right day
If pour day looks hot or windy, we'd rather move the date than add water to ease the work, because extra water leaves a weaker slab.
Finish and control joints
We give it the finish you picked, from broom to stamped concrete, and cut control joints, grooves that decide where shrinkage cracks go.
Cure and clean up
We protect the slab while it cures and clean up the yard, and we can pour a concrete sidewalk out to the patio too.
Why Anaheim homeowners call Advanced Anaheim Concrete Company
I learned concrete pouring foundations and flatwork like driveways and slabs on new construction, then started this business in 2017 to work on homes people already live in. That means the job fits around your family and yard, and what's under the slab gets as much care as the surface.
You'll meet me at the estimate
The person who comes to look at your yard and give the estimate is me, and our crew lead runs the work on site with our crew.
We're licensed and fully insured
If you have a question about our coverage or who's responsible for what in your yard, I'm glad to go over it when I come out to measure.
Satisfaction guaranteed on every job
We treat your lawn, walls and neighbors as carefully as the new concrete, because a good patio isn't much comfort if the yard around it is torn up.
What happens after you call about a patio in Anaheim?
We plan a patio around your household, so I'll explain each step plainly before asking you to decide anything, and pour day is set around your family, your yard and the forecast.

Questions about patios in Anaheim
How much does a concrete patio cost in Orange County?
A professionally installed concrete patio in Orange County usually costs about $20 to $35 per square foot. That's a county-wide figure, not a quote, and where your patio lands depends on the things that move the price above. I'll give you a figure for your own yard when I come out to measure.
What is the best finish for a concrete patio?
A broom finish suits most patios, because its texture keeps the surface from getting slick. Stamped and decorative finishes take specialized skill, and one Orange County cost guide says stamped concrete needs resealing every two to three years, so plan for that as a regular cost. Repairs on stamped concrete can also be hard to blend in with the rest of the slab.
Does a contractor need a license to pour a patio in California?
Unless the job is very small, yes. The state licensing board's C-8 Concrete Contractor class covers forming, pouring, placing and finishing flat concrete like a patio. The state's minor work exemption tops out at $1,000 and applies only when the work needs no permit and the unlicensed person employs no one.
When is the best time to pour a concrete patio in Anaheim?
Cooler, calmer days are easiest on fresh concrete, because hot-weather problems can happen any time of year but usually show up in summer. A windy, sunny day calls for more care than a calm, humid one at the same temperature, which is why we watch the forecast as pour day gets close.
How do I keep water from pooling on a new concrete patio?
Give the slab a slight slope away from the house, enough to drain but too slight to notice when you're using it, as one installation guide recommends. When I measure, I look at where water already runs across your yard so the patio sends it somewhere harmless.
What causes a concrete patio to crack and sink?
Most often it's a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settles with the dirt under it. Control joints cut late or skipped let cracks run wherever they like. That's why most of our effort on a patio goes in before the concrete arrives.

Stamped concrete services
If you want your patio to look like stone, slate or tile, stamped concrete adds pattern and color to the slab while it's still fresh.

Planning concrete patio construction in Anaheim
The City of Anaheim requires permits for most improvements before construction starts, and that rule doesn't settle whether your patio is one of them, so it's worth asking the Building Division at 714-765-5153 about your own yard. When a patio needs a permit, we handle the application with the city and book the inspections. If we're unsure what the city wants, we ask the Building Division before we start.
Many backyards here are reached only through a narrow side yard, so we plan how the crew and concrete get in without marking up the lawn or the neighbor's fence. We see the same tight access on jobs in Fullerton and Garden Grove, and we work across Orange County and nearby, so please call even if your city isn't listed.
