A concrete patio is a durable way to add outdoor living space in South Carolina. Plan around size, drainage, and how you'll use the space, and confirm the details in a written estimate.

Plan around how you live outside

Grilling, seating, a table for family dinners — how you use the space shapes its size and placement. Think about sun and shade through the day, especially in the South Carolina summer heat.

If the patio connects to a walkway or driveway, describe the whole area so the work can be planned together.

Respect the weather

Heat, humidity and heavy rain are part of life in the Pee Dee and along the Horry County coast. Good planning accounts for how water moves across your yard during a storm.

An experienced crew will ask about your ground and drainage before proposing the work — that conversation protects the finished patio.
