Custom & Stamped Concrete Patios
Decorative stamped, colored, and exposed-aggregate patios engineered for Wisconsin freeze-thaw — poured by the same crews that build our driveways.
Custom Concrete Patios in Milwaukee & Franklin
A well-built concrete patio is the workhorse of a Wisconsin backyard: it handles the grill, the furniture, the fire pit, and forty freeze-thaw winters without asking for much in return. A & L designs and pours custom patios across the greater Milwaukee area — from simple broom-finished slabs to decorative stamped and colored concrete that looks like natural stone at a fraction of the cost.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Stamped concrete lets you get the look of flagstone, slate, cobblestone, or wood plank in a continuous, low-maintenance slab. We combine stamping patterns with integral color and release-agent accents, then seal the surface for UV and salt resistance. Popular options include:
- Stamped patterns — ashlar slate, flagstone, cobblestone, and more
- Integral color and stained finishes matched to your home's exterior
- Exposed aggregate for a natural, high-traction texture
- Borders, steps, and seat walls integrated into the pour
Built to the Same Standard as Our Driveways
A patio may not carry a truck, but Wisconsin frost doesn't care. We prepare patios the same way we prepare driveways: excavated and compacted gravel sub-base, air-entrained concrete, reinforcement, correct slope away from your foundation, and control joints placed to manage expansion. That's what keeps a patio flat and crack-free instead of heaving after the second winter.
From Sketch to Barbecue
Bring us a rough idea — a size, a shape, a photo you found online — and we'll turn it into a formed, poured, and finished outdoor space. Every patio project starts with a free on-site estimate where we look at grading, drainage, and access, and give you a written price with no surprises.
