A concrete patio gives you a flat, solid space for tables, chairs and foot traffic. Outdoor slabs give support for grills, sheds, hot tubs and small structures. At Ready Reading Concrete, we pour concrete patios and outdoor slabs for homes in and around Reading, PA.

We focus on layout, base prep and drainage so your concrete patio or slab works well and holds up over time.

Planning a Concrete Patio Layout

A good concrete patio starts with the right size and shape. We look at how you plan to use the space, where doors and windows sit and how people move in and out of the house. Then we mark out the patio so you can see the footprint before we set forms.

We also think about sun, shade and views. A concrete patio should give room for seating, a grill and walking paths without feeling tight. We talk through simple layouts that fit your yard and your budget, then design the concrete patio around that plan.

Outdoor Slabs for Grills, Hot Tubs and Sheds

Not every project needs a full patio. In some spots a small, level concrete slab is the better choice. We pour outdoor slabs that support weight, keep things off the soil and give a clean surface that is easy to reach and maintain.

Common outdoor slab projects include:

  • Pads for grills and outdoor kitchens

  • Hot tub slabs with proper support

  • Shed pads and small utility slabs

We treat these outdoor slabs with the same care as larger patios, with solid base prep and correct thickness.

Patio Surfaces and Edge Finishes

Most concrete patios use a broom finish or a light texture so the surface has grip when wet. We can add a simple border edge or different texture at the edges to clean up the look. We keep finishes straightforward so the concrete patio is safe under foot and easy to sweep and wash.

Curing and Care for Concrete Patios

After we pour your concrete patio or outdoor slab, the surface needs time to cure. We will tell you when you can walk on it and when you can place furniture or equipment. Good curing helps the slab gain strength and reduces surface problems. Over time, washing dirt off the surface and keeping water from sitting along the edges helps the concrete stay in better shape. We can also talk about sealing options if you want more protection for the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How thick should a concrete patio be?

Patio thickness depends on the use. A standard sitting area needs less thickness than a slab that will hold heavy equipment or a hot tub. We list the planned thickness in your estimate so it is clear.

Can you match a new patio to an existing walk or step?

In many cases we can match height and tie the new concrete patio into existing walks or steps. We check elevations and slopes first so we do not create trip edges or low spots.

Is a concrete patio better than pavers for my yard?

Each yard is different. A concrete patio gives one solid surface with fewer joints to shift or wash out. Pavers offer more small joints but can move over time if the base is weak. We can look at your site and give simple pros and cons.

Can a plain patio be upgraded later with stamped or decorative work?

Some decorative options can go over sound concrete. In other cases it is better to plan the finish when we first pour the slab. We can look at your patio plan and tell you what makes the most sense.
