Create Your Perfect Outdoor Living Space with a Custom Patio
Homeowners have chosen concrete patios as their number one option due to the beauty, functionality, and low maintenance requirements, which are less than those of wood decks or the shifting issues of traditional pavers. A well-installed patio not only enhances the aesthetic but also creates a smooth and stable area suitable for placing outdoor furniture, grills, fire pits, and even creating an entertaining area. Patios designed and installed by us get proper measures taken for drainage, the right thickness for your intended usage, and finishing options that go along with the architecture of your home. Excel Concrete is there for you throughout the design process, helping you choose sizes, shapes, and decorative finishes that suits your vision and budget. Our team also provides expert concrete driveway installation to complement your home’s exterior and ensure long-lasting quality.

How We Install Your Outdoor Space
We start with an exhaustive conversation regarding your outdoor living aspirations, size and shape preferences, decorative finish options, and budget limitations. The qualities of your property are taken into account, including slope, drainage, and sun exposure, which are factors that determine design and placement.
The durability of the installation depends on the correct preparation of the base. We dig out to a good depth, which is in most cases four inches for regular applications. We grade in such a way that water movement is directed away from your house and at the same time we lay down the compacted gravel for the base to be stable.
Dimensions and shapes are defined to perfection with the help of the forms. The forms are set according to the drainage slopes and there are positions for steps, borders, or decorative elements as well.
Top-notch concrete is used, which is mixed according to the set specifications. The highly skilled crew spreads and incorporates the concrete in an even manner, thus guaranteeing the same thickness throughout and driving out air pockets that would otherwise cause weak spots.
Surface treatment gives the final look to the floor. The finish you have chosen is applied – whether it is smooth trowel, broom texture, stamped patterns, or exposed aggregate
The hardening of the concrete will not go through the process of curing, which means that it will not be able to develop the desired strength.
Common Questions About Outdoor Spaces
Two to three days for most residential projects, including site preparation, the placement of concrete, and finishing. The weather and complexity of the project play an important role in determining the duration. Seven days is the minimum period required for the concrete before the furniture is placed.
Yes, we typically use retaining walls, multi-level designs, or strategic grading to install on sloped properties. Slopes usually offer the chance for exciting multi-elevation designs with steps and terraced areas.
Concrete has the advantages of requiring less maintenance, having a longer lifespan, being more weather resistant, and costing less in the long run than wood or composite decks. In the summer, concrete is cooler, and it does not splinter, rot, or require staining or sealing on a regular basis.
We take the precaution of installing control joints that lead natural cracking into the locations that are planned for it and where it remains less visible. Cracking is minimized by proper base preparation, reinforcement, and drainage. Very small surface cracks may develop, but they will not affect the structural integrity or the function of the building.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Bentonville Patio?
Patios offer an exceptional chance to create a design that suits one’s personality. They are available in different styles, shapes, sizes, and arrangements that are most suitable for the property. Concrete has the ability to realize any fantasy, ranging from the most basic rectangular design to elaborate and lavish multi-level ones with curves and borders.
If the installation is done right, outdoor surfaces can last up to 30 years or even longer with little maintenance. Concrete will not show wear caused by nature, heavy foot traffic, furniture, and even cooking outdoors, retaining its original look, unlike other materials that age and lose their looks.
All it takes is a cleaning occasion that is simple on these surfaces, followed by resealing every few years. You will not have to deal with the constant staining, painting, or board replacement that wood decks require, nor with the weeding and releveling that are problems common with pavers.
Properly sealed concrete does not get affected by the Arkansas heat, humidity, rain, or occasional freezing temperatures. Concrete maintains its integrity through all seasons, unlike wood that rots or warps, or pavers that shift with ground movement.
Concrete is very competitive in terms of pricing among composite decking, natural stone and quality paving materials. Concrete is the most economical outdoor living solution when comparing long-term maintenance costs and lifespan.
The use of modern concrete finishing techniques brings about great aesthetic options. Stamped patterns, custom colors, textured surfaces, and decorative borders create high-end appearances that rival expensive natural materials at significantly lower costs.
