Concrete Patios

Why Choose a Concrete Patio in St. Cloud

Your backyard should be more than just grass. A concrete patio gives you a solid foundation for outdoor furniture, grills, fire pits, and family gatherings. Here in St. Cloud, MN, we experience harsh winters and hot summers. That's why we recommend concrete for its durability, low maintenance, and ability to handle Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting.

Unlike wood decks that rot or pavers that shift and grow weeds, a properly installed concrete patio from MVP St Cloud Concrete stays level, clean, and functional for decades. We've been building patios in the St. Cloud area since 2024, and our team knows exactly how to prepare the base, pour the concrete, and finish it so it lasts through every season.

What We Offer for Your Patio Project

We don't just pour concrete and walk away. Every patio we build starts with understanding how you'll use the space. Do you want a simple slab for a grill and chairs? Or are you looking for a large entertainment area with room for a dining set, lounge furniture, and a fire feature?

Here's what you get when you choose us for your patio:

• Custom sizing and shape to fit your yard and vision
• Proper grading and compacted gravel base for drainage and stability
• High-quality concrete mix designed for Minnesota weather
• Smooth or stamped decorative finishes to match your home's style
• Control joints to prevent random cracking
• Professional finishing and sealing for long-term protection

We take care of the entire process from start to finish. That means you don't have to worry about permits, base prep, or cleanup. We handle it all so you can focus on planning your first cookout on your new patio.

Design Options and Finishing Styles

Concrete patios don't have to be boring gray slabs. We offer several finishing options to create the look you want. A broom finish gives you slip resistance and a classic texture. A smooth trowel finish works great for a modern, clean aesthetic. If you want something more decorative, we can add color, borders, or stamped patterns that mimic stone, brick, or tile.

Stamped concrete is one of our most popular choices because it gives you the high-end look of natural materials without the high-end cost. You get the durability of concrete with the beauty of flagstone, slate, or cobblestone. We can also integrate your patio with other features like walkways, steps, or seat walls to create a complete outdoor living area.

Why Proper Installation Matters

A patio is only as good as the base underneath it. If the ground isn't prepared correctly, your patio will settle, crack, or develop drainage problems. That's why we take base preparation seriously. We excavate to the proper depth, compact the soil, add a gravel base, and ensure proper slope for water runoff.

We also pay close attention to where your patio sits in relation to your home's foundation. Proper grading keeps water flowing away from your house, which protects your basement and foundation. It's these details that separate a patio that lasts 30 years from one that starts cracking in 3 years. Our certified crews follow industry best practices on every job, so you get a patio that looks great and performs even better.
