Concrete Patio Construction in Rogers AR - A Slab Built on a Solid, Packed Base
Bare yard, cracked old slab or pooling water by the back door? We'll pour a patio with the prep done right underneath.
What goes into a new concrete patioin Rogers, from the ground up
Most patio calls start with a bare patch of yard, or an old slab that's cracked, sunk or holding water by the back door. Good concrete patio construction in Rogers starts under the surface, so we dig out and pack the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, and slope it so water runs away from the house.
A patio is its own slab, so where it meets the house, steps or a garage slab, we set joints so the pieces aren't tied together when they shift. That separation helps keep cracking to a minimum, and we'll talk through the whole joint layout with you up front, since it shapes how well the patio handles cracks.
Price mostly comes down to size, whether an old slab gets torn out and hauled off, how much base work the spot needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on weather, any permit and the curing wait, and I'll price your patio when I come out for the estimate.
You'll know what goes under your patio, what it costs and what to expect before we pour, so call (479) 413-0106.
Concrete patio finishes and layouts we build
We build each patio around how you'll use it, so a small grill pad and a big slab for family cookouts get different layouts, joints and finishes.
Broom-finished patios
Most patios we pour get a broom finish, a light texture dragged across the fresh concrete so your shoes get some grip after a rain.
Stamped and colored patios
If you'd like the look of stone or brick, we can stamp and color the slab, and our stamped concrete services cover that work in more detail.
Patios with a walkway
Most patios need a way to reach them, so we can build a concrete sidewalk from the driveway or back door at the same time, finished to match.
Why Rogers homeowners call CJ Rogers Concretefor patios built from the base up
Working with us means plenty of talk up front, because I'd rather you know what you're getting before you sign than get surprised on pour day.
Your questions go to the owner
I'm the one who comes out and writes up your estimate, so you're talking with the person who answers for the work, not a salesperson.
Fixing concrete before building it
I spent years patching walks and fixing settled driveways for a property management company before starting this business in 2013, so I know what skipped prep looks like later.
Licensed, insured and glad to show it
We're fully licensed and insured, and I'll bring proof of both when I come out to write your estimate, so you don't have to take anyone's word for it.
The base gets the most care
The base is hidden on day one and it's the first thing folks want to trim from a budget, so it's the last place I'll cut, since it decides how the patio holds up.
Backed by our satisfaction guarantee
Every patio we pour is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and the final walk-through is your time to point out anything that doesn't look right.

How your patio gets builtfrom first call to final walk
We keep it simple by putting the whole job in writing up front, so you can decide with every piece of it in front of you.
You call or send the form
Call (479) 413-0106 or use the form and tell us a little about the spot, and we'll set up a time for me to come out to your place.
I look at the spot with you
I walk the yard with you, ask how you'll use the patio and check where water runs, then write up an estimate that spells out tear out, hauling and prep.
Date, permit and prep
If you go ahead, we set a date and handle any permit work on our part, then our crew digs out, packs the base and sets the forms.
Our crew pours and finishes
Our own crew pours and finishes, and I'm out on the job with them. On hot days we start early, since pouring in midday heat can leave a weak, dusty top.
Walk-through and curing care
We walk the finished patio with you and show you how to keep it moist while it cures, since concrete gains its strength in those first days.
Patio questions we hear
How much does a concrete patio cost in Rogers, AR?
A concrete patio in the Fayetteville metropolitan area usually costs about $1,500 to $8,500 per project. That's what the work typically runs around here, not our price, and a bigger slab, a tear out or a stamped finish pushes a job toward the top. I'll price yours on site.
Will my new concrete patio crack?
It might, because cracks in concrete can't be prevented entirely, but properly designed joints control them and keep them to a minimum. Control joints are grooves cut into the slab so it cracks along a straight line we chose instead of across the middle. Wire mesh won't stop cracks either, though it tends to keep cracks and joints from opening up.
How long does a new concrete patio need to cure?
Curing guidance from a concrete trade group says to start right after finishing and keep it going as long as possible, for 3 days at minimum. Curing means keeping the new slab moist, so plan on it staying covered or wet through those first days. Crews hold the moisture in by leaving the forms on, laying soaked burlap or plastic sheeting, or spraying on a curing compound.
When can I seal a new concrete patio?
One supplier's guide says to let the concrete cure at least 28 days before sealing. The same guide says penetrating sealers work best on broom-finished patios, while film-forming sealers suit stamped or colored concrete and bring out the color. Sealers wear down with foot traffic and weather, so reseal as the sealer maker directs.
What is the best way to keep a concrete patio from flaking in winter?
Ask for an air-entrained mix, concrete with tiny air pockets worked into it, because it better resists breaking down when it freezes and thaws while soaked. It also limits scaling, the surface flaking that ice melt can cause, so bring it up at the estimate if you use ice melt.
Who needs a license to build a patio in Arkansas?
Arkansas law treats anyone who bids on or manages an addition to an existing single-family home or its property as a home improvement contractor. The licensing law exempts work costing $2,000 or less, but not a bigger job split into separate contracts under $2,000. A homeowner acting as their own contractor on their own single-family home is exempt too.
