Concrete Patios in Schererville, IN | Patio Installation
Schererville Concrete Contractor installs and replaces concrete patios throughout Schererville, Indiana and the surrounding 25-mile service area, with 10+ years of hands-on concrete experience and insured crews. We build backyard patios for outdoor living, from standard broom-finish slabs to decorative and stamped patios that connect to walkways, steps and pool decks.
A patio that lasts is built on excavation to a stable subgrade, a compacted aggregate base, forms set to the right grading and drainage pitch, control joints and isolation joints, and a broom or decorative finish. We account for drainage away from the house, freeze-thaw exposure and patio transitions so the slab cures and performs the way it should. Stamped texture, integral color where selected and sealer where appropriate are handled so the finish holds up.

Our Specialized Concrete Patios Services
New Concrete Patio Installation
New concrete patio installation is performed for homes throughout Schererville and the 25-mile service area, sized for the way each household uses the outdoor living space. We install standard broom-finish patios as well as larger patios that connect to walkways and pool decks.
Installation includes excavation, grading and base preparation, then forms, drainage pitch away from the foundation, control joints and isolation joints, and a broom or decorative finish. The slab is finished to the chosen texture and sealed where appropriate.
Homeowners get a level, durable outdoor living surface with proper drainage, a finish that matches the yard, and joints that keep cracks controlled rather than random across the patio.
Concrete Patio Replacement
Concrete patio replacement is performed across Schererville and the 25-mile area when an existing patio is cracked, settled or no longer fits the property. We handle the full demolition, haul-away and new pour as one coordinated project.
Replacement includes removal and disposal of the old patio, evaluation of the failed subgrade and base, new compacted aggregate base where needed, forms, drainage pitch, control joints and a selected finish. The cause of the old failure is assessed so the new patio does not repeat it.
The outcome is a new patio on a stable, corrected base with proper drainage, joints placed to control cracks, and a finish that restores the outdoor living space.
Decorative and Stamped Patio Options
Decorative and stamped patio options are available for Schererville area homeowners who want more than a plain broom finish, across the 25-mile service area. We add stamped texture, integral color where selected, borders and decorative finishes to a suitable patio slab.
Decorative work uses stamp mats, a release agent, coloring systems and control joints, followed by a sealer where appropriate to protect color and texture. The pattern and color are selected to complement the home and landscape.
The result is a decorative patio with the look of stone or masonry and the durability and joint control of concrete, sealed against wear when properly maintained.

Common Causes of patio Damage That Need Concrete Work
Settled or Poorly Compacted Base Material
A settled or poorly compacted base under a patio lets the slab drop, producing cracks, trip edges and an uneven surface. When the base has failed, surface repairs will not hold. Replacement with proper base correction is the durable fix for a settled patio.
Drainage Toward the House or Standing Water
Drainage that slopes toward the house or leaves standing water on the patio damages the slab and the foundation over time. Poor drainage is one of the most common reasons a patio fails early. Correct grading and drainage pitch are built into every replacement.
Cracking, Spalling and Freeze-Thaw Deterioration
Cracking, spalling and freeze-thaw deterioration develop on a patio through Northwest Indiana winters, spring moisture and years of exposure. When damage is widespread, the patio has reached the end of its service life. Replacement restores a durable surface.
Signs You Need patio Work in Schererville
The Patio Has Major Settlement or Trip Edges
Major settlement or trip edges on a patio mean the slab has dropped or heaved, creating an unsafe and unusable surface. A settled patio will not level itself. Replacement with base correction restores a level, safe outdoor living space.
Cracking Extends Through Multiple Slab Sections
Cracking that extends through multiple patio sections indicates the slab is reacting to base movement or load beyond what control joints could manage. When cracking is structural and widespread, repair is usually temporary. Replacement is the more durable answer.
The Existing Layout No Longer Fits the Property
When the existing patio layout no longer fits how the household uses the yard, replacement lets you resize and reconfigure the outdoor living space. A patio that is too small or poorly placed limits usability. A new slab is sized to the property and the way it is used.
Our Concrete Patios Process
Site Evaluation and Patio Layout
We evaluate the yard, dimensions, access, drainage and any existing patio or settlement. The patio layout is sized to how the household uses the outdoor space. This is an evaluation, not an engineering or permit determination.
Excavation, Grading and Base Preparation
On pour day we handle removal where needed, excavation, grading and compaction, then place a compacted aggregate base. Drainage pitch is set to shed water away from the house and off the patio.
Forms, Placement and Selected Finish
We set forms to the correct grade, add reinforcement where specified, then place, screed and finish the concrete to the selected broom or decorative texture. The crew manages the pour, consolidation and leveling to the planned finish.
Joints, Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We place control joints and isolation joints to manage cracking, hand-finish edges, apply sealer where appropriate, clean the site, and walk the finished patio with you covering care, curing and use timing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Patios
How much does a concrete patio cost in Schererville?
A concrete patio in Schererville commonly runs about $8–$15 per square foot for a standard installation, with stamped patios reaching $12–$22+ per square foot. Access, grading, drainage, finish and size move the number. We provide a specific estimate after evaluating the site.
What size concrete patio should I build?
The size of a concrete patio should be based on how the household uses the outdoor space, the furniture or features it will hold, and the yard available. A patio that is too small limits usability, while an oversized patio wastes budget. We help you size the patio to the property during the estimate.
Does a patio need to slope away from the house?
A patio should slope away from the house so water sheds off the surface rather than pooling against the foundation. Proper drainage pitch is one of the biggest factors in how long a patio lasts. We grade each patio to shed water away from the structure.
Is stamped concrete a good option for patios?
Stamped concrete is a good option for patios when you want the decorative look of stone or masonry with the durability and joint control of a poured slab. It costs more than a broom finish but adds visual appeal. We assess whether the site and use are a good fit before recommending it.
Can an old concrete patio be replaced?
An old concrete patio can be replaced when it is cracked, settled or no longer fits the property. Replacement includes demolition, haul-away, failed base evaluation and a new pour on a corrected base. We handle the full replacement as one coordinated project.
How long before a new patio can be used?
A new patio is generally ready for foot traffic within a day or so, with full strength developing over weeks. Exact timing depends on weather, mix and slab thickness. We give you project-specific use guidance at handoff so you know when it is safe to use the surface.
How does winter weather affect concrete patios in Northwest Indiana?
Winter weather affects concrete patios in Northwest Indiana through freeze-thaw cycles and moisture, which can cause cracking, spalling and surface deterioration over years. Proper base preparation, drainage, joints and a durable finish help a patio resist that damage. We build for the local climate rather than using a generic approach.
