Custom Concrete Patios Designed for Outdoor Living
The best backyards feel like an extra room, and a solid patio is where that starts. Longhorn Concrete & Outdoor Services
designs and pours concrete patios across Waterford, Michigan
and nearby Oakland County towns, including White Lake and Clarkston. We turn unused yard into finished outdoor space for dining, entertaining, and slow summer evenings that actually get used. A patio is a small footprint that changes how the whole property lives, and we build each one to earn that spot.
With 13+ years pouring outdoor concrete, our team handles layout, finish, and drainage so your patio sheds water away from the house and ages well. Every patio starts with a compacted base and the right thickness, since that footing is what resists the freeze thaw movement that cracks lesser pours. Standard patios pour at four inches, thicker under a hot tub or outdoor kitchen. Reach us through our contact page or request a quote online.
The Patio Work We Take On
Poured Concrete Patios
A clean, solid slab is the backbone of any patio. We form, pour, and finish standard patios at four inches over a compacted base, giving you a flat, durable surface ready for furniture, grills, and years of everyday backyard use.
Stamped Concrete Patios
Want stone or slate looks without the price? We stamp pattern and color into the patio pour, then seal it, so you get a high end finish on one solid surface that skips the weeds and shifting that loose pavers bring.
Exposed Aggregate Patios
For grip and natural texture, exposed aggregate is hard to beat. We wash away the top layer to reveal the stone beneath, leaving a slip resistant, low glare surface that hides wear and pairs well with pools, steps, and walkways.
Patio Extensions and Additions
Outgrown the patio you have? We tie new concrete cleanly into your existing slab, matching finish and level, so you gain room for seating, dining, or a grill area without the look of a mismatched, tacked on section.
Fire Pit and Seating Areas
A defined gathering spot makes a yard usable after dark. We pour patios shaped around fire pits and built in seating, with the extra thickness and layout those features need, giving you a finished space designed for real evenings outside.
Patio Resurfacing
A structurally sound but tired patio does not always need tearing out. We resurface worn slabs with fresh overlays or decorative finishes, covering stains and surface wear, so you get a renewed look without the cost of a full replacement.

What to Expect From Your Patio Project
Custom Design Tailored to Your Outdoor Space
We start with your yard, how you plan to use it, and the look you want. That shapes the layout, size, and shape of the slab, so the finished patio fits your property instead of forcing a generic footprint onto it.
Variety of Finish Options: Stamped, Stained, or Standard
You choose how the surface reads, from a clean broom finish to rich stamped patterns or stained color. We walk you through real samples and match the finish to your home, so the patio looks intentional rather than plain or dropped in.
Custom Patios Built for Durability and Proper Drainage
Every patio sits on a compacted base at the right thickness, graded to shed water away from the house. That prep is what resists freeze thaw movement, so the surface stays flat and solid instead of heaving after a few winters.
Ideal Setups for Grilling, Seating, and Entertaining
We plan the space around how you will actually live on it, leaving room for the table, the grill, and gathering spots. Extra thickness goes wherever heavy features land, so the layout works for real evenings outside, not just looks.
Quick and Professional Concrete Patio Installation Process
We set a clear schedule, prep and pour efficiently, and keep the site contained the whole time. You get the patio finished on time with minimal mess, then simple guidance on curing and when the surface is ready to use.
Support and Advice After Completion
Once the concrete cures, we walk you through sealing, curing timelines, and simple upkeep. Know when the first reseal is due and how to protect the surface, so your patio stays flat, clean, and sharp looking for many years to come.
Build a Comfortable Space for Lasting Memories
Picture the backyard you actually want to spend time in, then picture the solid, level surface that makes it possible. Longhorn Concrete & Outdoor Services pours patios across Waterford, Michigan that hold up to real weather and real use, from simple broom finished slabs to stamped surfaces that read like natural stone. Built on a compacted base at the right thickness, each one is made to stay flat and useful for decades, not sag after a couple of winters. When you are ready to turn unused yard into finished space, we are glad to talk through layout, finish, and budget with no pressure.

FAQ's
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Four inches is standard for a patio holding furniture, foot traffic, and a grill. Planning a hot tub or outdoor kitchen? We thicken that area to five or six inches, since a filled hot tub alone can weigh 3,000 to 6,000 pounds.
Do I need a permit to build a concrete patio in Waterford Township?
Usually not. Waterford Township treats a poured patio sitting on the ground as maintenance, so no building permit is needed, though a deck on posts is different. With 13+ years in Waterford, Michigan, Longhorn Concrete & Outdoor Services confirms current rules first.
Does a concrete patio add value to a home?
Yes. A patio turns dead yard into usable outdoor living, which buyers and appraisers both value. In a market like Waterford, Michigan, Longhorn Concrete & Outdoor Services sees stamped and finished patios pay owners back in both appeal and resale.
How long does a concrete patio last?
A well built concrete patio lasts 25 to 50 years. The base is the deciding factor. Poured on compacted ground at the right thickness with good drainage, it stays flat and solid far longer than a thin slab on loose fill.
How much does a concrete patio cost?
Cost depends on size, thickness, finish, and site prep. A plain slab runs lower than stamped or exposed aggregate work, and grading or removal adds to it. We measure your space and quote the whole job clearly, not by a rough estimate.
Can you put a hot tub on a concrete patio?
Yes, with the right slab underneath. A filled hot tub can weigh several thousand pounds, so we thicken that zone to five or six inches and reinforce it, making sure the pad carries the load without cracking or settling over time.
Concrete patio or pavers, which is better?
Each has a place. Pavers allow easy section swaps but shift, sink, and grow weeds between joints. A poured or stamped patio stays one solid surface with far less upkeep, which is why many owners choose concrete for large, everyday use areas.
How long before you can use a new concrete patio?
Walk on it lightly after 24 to 48 hours. Hold off heavy furniture for several days and give it the better part of a week before real use, so the surface fully firms up and avoids early scuffs or dents.
