Our Process

How Patios & Outdoor Flatwork Works

01

Design & Estimate

We visit your property, discuss your outdoor living goals, take measurements, and provide a detailed estimate with finish options and pricing.

02

Layout & Excavation

The patio shape is laid out and staked. We excavate to the correct depth, grade for drainage away from the house, compact the subbase, and set forms.

03

Reinforce & Pour

Reinforcement is placed and concrete is poured and screeded to a level finish. Control joints are cut and your chosen finish — broom, stamped, or smooth — is applied while the concrete is workable.

04

Cure & Enjoy

Curing compound is applied to protect against New Mexico's dry air. Forms are removed, edges are finished, and the site is cleaned up. We'll walk through the finished patio with you.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Patios & Outdoor Flatwork Stands Out

New Mexico's 300+ days of sunshine make outdoor living spaces essential — and a well-built concrete patio is the foundation of any backyard setup. Sombrero Construction pours patios, walkways, and outdoor flatwork designed to look great and hold up to the desert sun, monsoon rains, and freezing winter nights. Whether you're adding a new backyard patio for entertaining, replacing a cracked slab, extending an existing patio, or pouring a walkway to connect your outdoor spaces — we handle every step from layout and excavation through forming, pouring, and finishing. We offer standard broom finish for a clean, slip-resistant surface, stamped patterns that replicate the look of flagstone or tile, and colored concrete to match your home's style. Every patio gets proper subbase prep, reinforcement, and drainage pitch so water flows away from your foundation. Whether you're building a new driveway in Rio Rancho, adding a patio in Corrales, pouring a slab in Albuquerque's North Valley, or installing a block wall in Bernalillo — our crew knows the local soil, climate, and building requirements and delivers quality results on every project.

FAQ

Common Questions About Patios & Outdoor Flatwork

Concrete patio cost depends on size, thickness, finish, and site prep. A standard broom-finish patio typically starts around $6–$10 per square foot, with stamped and decorative finishes costing more. Contact us for a free estimate specific to your project.

Most residential patios are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size and complexity. Stamped patios may take an extra day for the stamping and coloring process. You can typically use the patio for light furniture after 3–5 days.

Broom finish is the most affordable and provides excellent slip resistance — it's a great choice for functional patios. Stamped concrete offers the look of natural stone, tile, or brick at a lower cost than pavers, making it ideal for entertaining areas and outdoor living spaces.

Yes. We regularly pour patios adjacent to existing concrete, foundations, and structures. Expansion joints and proper grading ensure the new section performs independently and drains correctly.

We pour the concrete slab and foundation for covered patios, pergolas, and shade structures. If you have a separate contractor building the cover, we'll coordinate on footer placement and slab dimensions.

Yes. We pour concrete walkways, garden paths, and stepping stone connections alongside patio projects or as standalone work. Walkways typically use a 4-inch slab with broom finish for slip resistance.

Every patio we pour is graded to slope away from your home's foundation — typically 1/8 inch per foot. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling against the house or foundation and is especially important in New Mexico's monsoon season.
