Step-by-Step Guide to Our Patio Slab Pouring Process
To make a nice and attractive concrete patio, it’s important to have a clear plan. At Dundee Spokane, we have improved our process. We carefully take care of each step really well. Knowing how we work will help you understand what to expect when you pick us for your patio installation.
Our team is ready to manage all parts of the job. This starts with checking the ground and ends with the curing process. We put in a lot of effort to make sure your new patio is made with high quality and skill. Let’s go over the key steps involved:
Site Preparation and Ground Assessment
The success of your patio project starts with preparing the site and checking the ground. Our team uses spray paint to mark where the patio will go. We also use tape measures. This helps us see the layout clearly and make changes before pouring.
Next, we look at the soil depth to know how deep we should dig. This is good for drainage and helps avoid issues like cracks or settling. After we finish digging the area, we compact the soil. This creates a strong base for the gravel.
Finally, we will add a layer of purpose gravel. We need to make sure it is even and compressed to the right height. This step is really important because it helps with drainage. The top of the gravel will serve as the base for your patio. This is crucial for stability and long-lasting performance.
Formwork Setup and Concrete Mixing
Now that the site is ready, we will begin building the formwork. This structure holds and shapes the concrete. We will use strong lumber to make these forms. We will ensure they are straight, level, and fixed securely. This way, they won’t move when we pour the concrete. The size and shape of the formwork will fit perfectly with your patio.
Our team mixes the concrete at the same time. We choose high-quality cement, specific aggregates, and the right amount of water. This helps us get the right strength and feel. Based on the size of the patio, we might use a cement mixer to mix everything thoroughly. A good concrete mix is essential for the strength and durability of your patio.
Here’s what you will see when you set up formwork and mix concrete:
- Accuracy in every board: We make sure the formwork is built right. This gives you a smooth and flat patio surface.
- Even Mixing: Our team follows strict rules for mixing. We use the right tools to create a good concrete mix.
- Quality Check: We check both the formwork and the concrete mix. This ensures they meet our high standards before we start pouring.
Precision in Pouring and Leveling Techniques
Pouring concrete is a key step that requires proper planning and skill. Our team works quickly and effectively to put the mixed concrete into the formwork. We ensure it spreads out evenly and minimizes air pockets. We focus closely on the corners and edges to make sure everything gets filled evenly.
After pouring, we use a tool named a screed to smooth the concrete surface. The screed moves across the top of the formwork. It takes away any excess concrete. This helps us get a smooth and flat surface. We also look to make sure the slope is correct for water drainage.
The final step is to make the surface look nice and clean. Our team uses trowels to shape the concrete. They smooth out any bumps to feel just right. If you want it smooth or a little textured, we can do that for you.
Evaluating Soil and Terrain for Slab Pouring
Before you pour a concrete slab, you should check the soil conditions first. Soil that is too wet or does not drain well can hurt the curing process. This can make the patio weaker over time. Good compaction and moisture control are important for a strong foundation.
If the ground isn’t level, it can cause problems. This might result in a slab that has different thicknesses or make leveling the formwork hard. You may need to dig more or add soil to make a flat and stable base for the concrete.
Sometimes, you need to use rebar in concrete. This is important for big patios or places that carry heavy weight. Adding rebar makes the concrete stronger and helps reduce cracking. Think carefully about if you really need rebar. Be sure to mix it properly in the concrete batch to create a patio that will last.
Addressing Weather Constraints and Timing
Weather is important for installing your concrete patio properly. When it is really hot, the concrete might dry too fast, which can cause cracks. Cold weather can slow down how quickly the concrete hardens, which makes it less strong. Our team pays close attention to the weather and plans our work wisely to avoid any problems that it can create.
Rain that comes during or right after pouring can harm the curing process. It can weaken the concrete surface. We take steps to protect the fresh concrete from surprise rain. We cover it with tarps. This helps the surface cure well and stay strong.
The delivery of concrete is very important. Delays can disrupt the pouring and affect how the cement sets. We have strong connections with suppliers. We also use equipment like cement mixers wisely. This way, we ensure that deliveries are on time. This helps keep the pouring process smooth.

Factors to consider before getting a quote
Carefully check the size of your patio project. Make sure you count the exact amount of concrete mix and materials you need, like rebar. Think about how you want the patio to look.

This helps avoid confusion and paves the way for a smoother quoting process. Talk about any extra services you need beyond just the concrete pour to understand the total price.

Different types of concrete patios and their unique requirements
Concrete patios are a popular choice for outdoor spaces. They are tough and versatile. There are several kinds of concrete patios. Each type has unique requirements based on its appearance and function.
- Stamped Concrete Patio: A stamped concrete patio looks like stone, brick, or wood, but it is made from strong concrete. You need to seal it regularly to keep its nice patterns and protect it from damage.
- Stained Concrete Patio: Staining concrete gives lots of colors and finishes, making your patio feel special. You should reseal it now and then to keep the colors bright and prevent fading from the sun.
- Exposed Aggregate Concrete Patio: An exposed aggregate patio feels textured because you can see the stones or pebbles in the concrete mix. Regular sealing is important to stop moisture from getting in and to keep the stones looking bright.
- Polished Concrete Patio: A polished concrete patio has a smooth and modern look, which is great for outdoor spaces. You have to polish it now and then to keep the surface shiny and smooth.
- Broom Finished Concrete Patio: A broom finished patio has a non-slip surface created by brushing with a broom over fresh concrete. It is easy to maintain, but you might need to reseal it occasionally to protect it from stains and weather damage.
There are several types of concrete patios. Each one has a unique look and different care needs. To choose the right patio, think about your style, budget, and how much maintenance you want. If you take good care of your concrete patio, it will stay a lovely outdoor area for many years.
