Patios & Outdoor Living
Outdoor Spaces Worth Living In.
From plain concrete patios to full outdoor living areas, we install decorative coatings and overlays that hold up to Utah's climate and look good doing it. Slip-resistant, UV-stable, and built to last.
More Than a Coat of Paint
A decorative patio coating isn't just cosmetic — it's a surface system. We evaluate the existing concrete, prepare it properly, and install a coating that bonds to the substrate and performs under outdoor conditions. That means UV-stable materials that won't fade or chalk, slip-resistant finishes for wet surfaces, and systems that handle Utah's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or peeling.
Surface Systems
What We Install on Patios
Decorative Concrete Overlays
A thin-coat overlay applied over existing concrete to create a fresh, uniform surface. Overlays can be textured, stamped, or left smooth, and are available in a range of colors. They're a cost-effective way to transform a worn or stained patio without tearing out the existing slab.
- Applied over existing concrete
- Textured, stamped, or smooth finish options
- Wide range of colors
- Hides stains, discoloration, and minor surface damage
- UV-stable topcoat for outdoor durability
Flake & Broadcast Systems
The same full-broadcast flake system we use on garage floors works exceptionally well on patios. The textured surface is slip-resistant, easy to clean, and available in a wide range of color blends. A polyaspartic topcoat provides UV stability and chemical resistance.
- Full-broadcast flake for complete coverage
- Slip-resistant texture
- UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat
- Wide range of flake color blends
- Easy to clean and maintain
Resin-Bound Stone (Vuba Stone)
Resin-bound stone surfacing creates a natural aggregate appearance on patios, walkways, and pool surrounds. The seamless surface eliminates joints and weed growth, and the natural stone look complements landscaping and outdoor architecture.
- Natural aggregate appearance
- Seamless — no joints or grout lines
- Permeable drainage option available
- Slip-resistant when wet
- Wide range of aggregate blends
Solid Color Polyaspartic
A clean, solid-color polyaspartic coating for patios where a simple, professional finish is preferred. UV-stable and available in a range of colors with matte, satin, or gloss topcoat options.
- Clean, uniform appearance
- UV-stable — won't yellow or chalk
- Matte, satin, or gloss finish
- Chemical and abrasion resistant
- Fast cure — minimal downtime
Where We Work
Patio & Outdoor Applications
Patios
Residential and HOA patios — new construction or existing concrete. We evaluate the slab, prepare the surface, and install the coating system that fits the design and use.
Walkways & Paths
Entry walkways, garden paths, and connecting walkways between outdoor spaces. Seamless coatings eliminate the tripping hazards and maintenance of pavers or stepping stones.
Pool Surrounds
The area around the pool beyond the deck itself — walkways, steps, and transition surfaces. Slip-resistant finishes and cool-touch materials are selected for pool-adjacent surfaces.
Outdoor Kitchens & Entertainment Areas
High-traffic outdoor living areas that see spills, grease, and heavy foot traffic. We select coating systems that handle the demands of outdoor cooking and entertaining.
Steps & Transitions
Exterior steps, landings, and transitions between surfaces. Slip-resistant finishes and edge treatments are applied for safety and a clean finished appearance.
Driveways & Aprons
Decorative coatings and resin-bound surfacing for driveways and garage aprons. Improves curb appeal and provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface.
Built for Utah
Coatings That Handle the Climate
Utah's outdoor surfaces face a demanding environment — intense UV, summer heat, and hard freeze-thaw cycles in winter. We select coating systems and resin formulations that are rated for outdoor use and tested in these conditions. UV-stable topcoats prevent fading and chalking. Flexible resin systems accommodate the movement that comes with temperature swings. Proper surface preparation ensures the coating stays bonded through seasonal changes.
UV-Stable Materials
We use UV-stable polyaspartic and polyurea topcoats that resist the color fade and surface breakdown caused by Utah's high-altitude sun exposure.
Freeze-Thaw Resistant
Coating systems and resin formulations are selected for flexibility and adhesion through freeze-thaw cycles. Proper drainage design prevents water from pooling under the surface.
Heat Tolerant
Lighter aggregate blends and reflective topcoats reduce surface heat absorption, keeping outdoor surfaces more comfortable underfoot in summer.
Preparation for Outdoor Conditions
Outdoor surfaces require thorough preparation — moisture testing, crack repair, and proper profiling — before any coating is applied. We don't skip steps on outdoor projects.
Our Process
How We Approach Patio Projects
On-Site Evaluation
We inspect the existing surface, check for cracks, drainage issues, and moisture. We discuss the design goals and recommend the coating system that fits.
Surface Preparation
The concrete is mechanically ground to open the surface profile and ensure proper adhesion. Cracks and damaged areas are repaired before coating.
Moisture Testing
Moisture vapor transmission is tested. Outdoor slabs can carry significant moisture — we address it before coating to prevent delamination.
Primer & Base Coat
A primer is applied to the prepared surface, followed by the base coat appropriate to the selected system — epoxy, overlay, or resin.
Broadcast or Texture
For flake or aggregate systems, material is broadcast into the wet base coat. For overlays, texture is applied at this stage.
UV-Stable Topcoat
A UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat is applied to seal the surface and provide long-term protection against UV, abrasion, and weather.
Final Walkthrough
We walk through the completed project with you, confirm the finish meets our standards, and review care and maintenance for outdoor surfaces.
