A well-built concrete patio expands your living space and stands up to years of use without the maintenance headaches of wood decking. We install patios for homeowners in Summerville and throughout the Charleston metro area, Columbia, Sumter, and surrounding South Carolina communities.
A concrete patio is a poured slab designed for outdoor living—grilling, entertaining, relaxing, or simply extending usable space beyond your home's walls. Unlike pavers or wood decking, a properly installed concrete patio provides a solid, low-maintenance surface that won't shift, rot, or require annual sealing.
Installation involves site preparation, grading for proper drainage, base compaction, forming, reinforcement, pouring, and finishing. The slab can be finished with a standard broom texture, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, or other decorative options depending on your preferences.
At Next Level Concrete, we build patios that drain correctly and stay level. We take the time to prep the base properly and pour to the right thickness for residential foot traffic and furniture loads.

We install backyard patios for homeowners throughout Ladson, Knightsville, and the Sangaree area. Whether you need a small 10x10 slab or a large entertainment area, we handle the job from excavation to finishing.
Restaurants, offices, and commercial properties throughout Charleston need durable outdoor surfaces for seating areas, break spaces, and customer use. We build commercial patios designed for higher traffic and heavier use.
A patio that pools water is a patio that fails. We grade every slab to drain away from your home and toward appropriate runoff areas. No standing water, no erosion problems.
Concrete cracks—it's a fact. But proper control joint placement determines where those cracks occur. We cut joints at the right intervals and locations to keep cracks controlled and out of sight.
We offer standard broom finish, smooth trowel finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete options. We'll discuss what makes sense for your use case and budget.
We respect your yard. Equipment is staged thoughtfully, materials are managed, and we clean up when the job is done. You won't find concrete splatter on your siding or tools left in your grass.
We're a licensed contractor with proper liability coverage. You're protected, and we stand behind our work.
From consultation to cleanup — here's what to expect.
We meet at your property, discuss size and finish options, assess the site, and provide a written quote.
We mark the footprint, excavate to proper depth, and establish correct slope for drainage.
Aggregate base is compacted. Forms set the edges and maintain correct elevation.
Concrete is poured, leveled, and finished to your selected texture. Edges tooled, control joints cut.
The patio cures properly before use. We remove forms, clean up, and walk you through care.
Most patios are completed in 1–2 days. Curing takes 3–7 days before foot traffic.
