Concrete patio construction in Sherwood OR - a slab that drains right and stays flat
Cracked, sinking patio or water pooling by the house? We build new ones on a packed gravel base so they drain right and stay level.
What goes into building a concrete patio in Sherwood?
Concrete patio construction in Sherwood means building you a new slab from the ground up. That covers digging out and packing a gravel base, setting forms, pouring, finishing, cutting joints and hauling off the dirt. The pour is the quick part, and the job keeps going for a while after it as the new concrete cures.
Most folks call Sherwood Concrete because the old patio has cracked, sunk at one corner or holds water after a rain, or because there's nothing out back yet but grass and mud. The price mostly comes down to the size, how much dirt has to come out, the finish you pick and how easy it is to get into the backyard. The schedule turns on the weather, any permit review and the curing time before you can use the patio. If you'd like a path from the patio around to the driveway, we can plan a concrete sidewalk at the same visit, and your estimate comes as a written scope so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Why homeowners hire us for concrete patios
I care most about the part of a patio you won't see once it's poured, so you can count on a careful base and straight answers to every question, even the small ones.
The owner on your job
I walk your yard and write the estimate, then work with the crew through the pour and the final walk-through.
In business since 2021
I started this business in 2021 after years as a helper on a small crew, hauling forms and pushing wheelbarrows.
Fully licensed and insured
That's the first thing to check on any contractor, and the questions below show where to look us up.
A stiffer mix
We keep the mix on the stiff side, since less water for the same cement means stronger concrete that shrinks less.
Satisfaction guaranteed
That's our word on every patio, and it starts with a call to (971) 626-0086 or a note through the form.
Concrete patio finishes to choose from
The right patio depends on how you'll use it, how the yard drains and your budget, so we settle the finish and size together at the estimate.

Why homeowners trust Sherwood Concrete with their patio
I learned early, as a helper, that a base just raked level settles right along with the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on. So we dig out, pack a gravel base and set the forms to fall away from your house. On a tight budget, I'd go plainer on top before skimping underneath, since nobody can fix a base once it's poured.
Some quotes leave out the gravel base, cutting control joints or hauling off the dirt, and none of those are optional. Ours lists all three so nothing gets tacked on later and you can compare quotes on the same work. We cut the joints, grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, before it picks its own spot.
Patio questions we hear a lot
How much does a concrete patio cost in Oregon, and do stamped finishes cost more?
A 300 square foot broom-finish concrete patio, installed, usually runs about $1,900 to $3,700 in Oregon, and that's the going rate around the state, not our price. Stamped or decorative finishes cost more per square foot than plain concrete, so the finish you pick moves the number along with the size and the digging. The on-site estimate puts the scope for your own yard in writing.
How long does it take to pour and cure a concrete patio?
Pouring and finishing usually fit in one day, since a crew of two or three can pour and finish a 200 to 300 square foot patio in a single day. Then comes curing, which means keeping the new concrete damp so it gains strength instead of drying out too fast. An Illinois concrete trade group's guidance for driveways says to start curing within minutes of the pour and keep it up at least 7 days, and we plan that week around when you want the patio back.
When should I seal a new concrete patio?
That same Illinois group says to seal new concrete after about a month of curing and air drying, while the weather's still mild and before winter. Sealer keeps water and deicing salt from soaking in, so a patio poured late in the fall can run out of time to get sealed before the cold. That's why we talk about your pour date with sealing in mind.
How do I check a concrete contractor's license in Oregon?
Look the company up in the Oregon Construction Contractors Board license search before you sign a contract. State law generally requires anyone paid for construction work on your property to be licensed, and the board lists concrete among its examples. The board also has guides on choosing a contractor and filing a complaint.
What causes water to pool on a concrete patio?
Water usually pools because the slab was built dead flat with no fall, or because part of it sank when the base under it settled. A patio that tips toward the house sends rain straight at your foundation, which is why we look at where the water runs at the estimate, before anything gets dug.
Can you tear out an old cracked patio and pour a new one in Sherwood?
Yes, we can break up the old slab, haul it away and pour the new patio on a fresh, packed gravel base. Pouring over a cracked patio usually brings the old cracks right back up through the new concrete, so we start from the ground.
What happens when you call about a concrete patio in Sherwood?
We plan a patio around how you use your yard and when you want it back, so the pour date, curing and sealing all fit your season.
