Concrete With Style
Classic Finishes or Custom Stamped Concrete
Concrete doesn’t have to look like a parking lot. From a clean broom finish to a fully stamped pattern, there are more options than most people realize. We help you pick what works for your space, your home’s style, and your budget without overcomplicating it.
Poured Concrete Patios
A poured concrete patio is the most durable, low-maintenance outdoor surface you can install. Clean lines, solid footing, and minimal upkeep year after year. Built right from the ground up, a concrete slab holds up to Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles better than pavers or wood decking without excessive ongoing maintenance.
Stamped & Decorative Patios
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick, or wood at a fraction of the installation cost with the durability that only poured concrete delivers. Choose from dozens of patterns and colors to create an outdoor surface that complements your home’s exterior and adds genuine curb appeal to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a question that is not listed below, reach out. Our team is happy to help.
How much does a concrete patio cost in Des Moines?
Concrete patio pricing in the Des Moines area typically ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot for a standard broom finish slab, depending on size, site conditions, and access. Stamped or decorative concrete adds cost based on the pattern complexity and color options chosen. The most accurate way to get pricing is an on-site quote. We come out, assess the site, measure the space, and give you a flat number before any work begins. No phone estimates, no surprises.
How long does it take to pour a concrete patio?
Most residential patio pours are completed in one to two days once we’re on site. Larger patios or those with stamped finishes, multiple sections, or integrated borders may take an additional day. Once poured, concrete typically needs 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and 5 to 7 days before placing furniture, grills, or heavier loads. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start so you know what to plan around.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
For a residential patio in Central Iowa, 4 inches is standard for most applications. If the patio will bear heavier loads — a hot tub, a large pergola structure, or vehicle access — we typically recommend 5 to 6 inches with reinforcement. Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles make proper thickness and base preparation critical. A slab that cuts corners on either will show it within a few years.
Can you pour concrete patios in Iowa winters?
Cold-weather pours are possible but come with real risks we don’t take lightly. Concrete needs adequate temperatures to cure properly. Pouring in freezing conditions without proper protection leads to surface scaling, cracking, and durability issues that will cost more to fix than they would have to prevent. Our active pour season generally runs April through October depending on conditions. If your timeline is pressing and temperatures are borderline, we’ll give you an honest answer rather than just take the job.
What's the difference between a plain concrete patio and stamped concrete?
Plain broom finish concrete is the more cost-effective, lower-maintenance option. It’s clean, durable, and holds up well for decades when poured correctly. Stamped concrete gives you more visual options and can significantly enhance your outdoor space, but it costs more per square foot and needs sealing every few years to protect the color and surface finish. If budget is the primary factor, a well-poured broom finish slab is hard to beat. If you want an outdoor living space that ties into your home’s look and feel, stamped concrete is worth the investment. We walk you through both on the quote visit so you can make the call with full information.
