Concrete Patios in Seattle, WA
Extend Your Living Space Outdoors
A well-designed concrete patio transforms your backyard into functional outdoor living space. At King Concrete Seattle, we build patios that handle the Pacific Northwest climate while creating areas where you’ll spend countless hours relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Seattle’s beautiful summers.
I’ve poured hundreds of patios across King County. The difference between a patio that lasts decades and one that cracks within years comes down to understanding Seattle’s unique conditions. Our clay soil shifts with moisture changes. Our winters bring freeze-thaw cycles. Our drainage needs differ from drier climates.
We design every patio with these factors in mind. Proper base preparation, adequate thickness, strategic reinforcement, and correct drainage ensure your patio performs beautifully for 30+ years.

King Concrete Seattle patios offer advantages other materials can’t match:
Durability: Concrete withstands Seattle’s weather—rain, occasional snow, summer heat—without warping, rotting, or deteriorating like wood decks.
Versatility: We create any shape, size, or design. Curved edges, integrated planters, multiple levels, fire pit surrounds—concrete adapts to your vision.
Low Maintenance: Annual cleaning and resealing every few years keeps concrete patios looking great. No board replacement, no weed removal from joints, no leveling settled pavers.
Cost-Effectiveness: Concrete delivers long-term value. Initial costs are moderate, maintenance is minimal, and lifespan exceeds most alternatives.

Concrete Patio Designs
We create custom concrete patio designs that complement your home and landscape:
Modern Minimalist: Clean lines, smooth trowel finish, integrated lighting, and geometric shapes create contemporary outdoor spaces.
Natural Stone Look: Stamped patterns replicating flagstone, slate, or river rock provide organic appearance without natural stone’s cost.
Traditional Elegance: Brick or cobblestone stamp patterns with border accents suit classic architecture.
Multi-Level Designs: Raised or sunken sections define spaces—dining areas, lounging zones, fire pit gathering spots.
Integrated Features: Built-in planters, seating walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and water features become part of your patio design.
We work with you to develop concrete patio ideas that match your lifestyle and budget.
Concrete Patio Finishes
Surface finish affects appearance, traction, and maintenance:
Broom Finish: A classic, slip-resistant texture created by dragging a broom across fresh concrete. Perfect for Seattle’s rain—provides excellent traction when wet.
Smooth Trowel: Sleek, modern appearance achieved through steel trowel finishing. Works well for covered patios or contemporary designs.
Exposed Aggregate: Reveals decorative stone in the concrete mix. Creates textured surface with natural appearance and excellent slip resistance.
Salt Finish: Subtle texture created by pressing rock salt into fresh concrete. Offers mild slip resistance with interesting surface pattern.
Stamped Patterns: Replicates natural materials like stone, brick, or wood. Combines texture with decorative appeal.
We recommend finishes based on your aesthetic preferences, safety requirements, and how you’ll use the space.
Concrete Patio vs Pavers
When comparing concrete patio v pavers, consider these factors:
Concrete Advantages:
- Seamless surface without weed growth between joints
- Lower installation cost
- Faster installation
- Unlimited custom designs
- Less maintenance long-term
- No settling or shifting
Paver Advantages:
