Concrete Patios in Windsor, CA
Make room for the way you use the yard.
A patio can look generous on a drawing and still feel tight when the chairs are pulled out. We start with the things you want to put on it, the doors that open onto it, and the paths people take across the yard. The shape follows those needs.
Hard Stone Concrete builds concrete patios in Windsor and surrounding Sonoma County communities. That can mean a simple sitting area outside the kitchen, a curved surface that works around established landscaping, or a larger gathering space connected to a walkway. We discuss the finish early, but the levels and layout come first.
Discuss your project
The edges matter as much as the middle.
The house threshold, nearby fence, garden beds, and existing hardscape all put limits on the finished height. Water needs an intentional route away from the building without creating a problem somewhere else. Those connections belong in the estimate, along with any demolition and hauling.
Joint locations also affect the finished appearance. We consider them alongside the patio shape rather than treating them as random lines added after the design is complete. If you want a decorative border or stamped surface, we review the pattern, texture, and upkeep before settling on the scope.

Planning a patio in Windsor
Some yards have a wide side gate; others leave little room between the house and fence. Tell us about that access when you call. It can change how material is moved and how the yard is protected during construction. We also serve the other eight incorporated Sonoma County cities.

An empty patio can look generous until the table, chairs, grill, and planters arrive. Think about the space with the chairs pulled out and someone walking past them. A little extra thought at the layout stage can keep the main route from cutting through the seating area.
If a pergola, outdoor kitchen, or lighting is part of a later phase, mention it now. Those features may bring separate support or utility requirements. We can discuss the concrete boundaries with that future work in mind, before the finished surface becomes something another trade has to cut through.
Details to agree
- Furniture shown at its actual size
- Clear routes with chairs in use
- Future posts, utilities, and built-in features
Before we price the project
A few photos from the doorway and each end of the proposed patio are useful. Include a rough size, whether an old surface needs to come out, and any plans for a pergola, outdoor kitchen, or heavy feature. Those additions can introduce separate foundation or utility requirements.
Ask us to show what is included around the perimeter. Reconnecting a path, restoring a planting bed, and adjusting an irrigation line are different tasks; agreeing on them now makes the finished project easier to understand.

Can a patio be poured around an existing tree?
Sometimes, but the layout must account for roots, growing space, and access. We review the site rather than promising that concrete can go right up to the trunk.
Do you offer a simple finish as well as stamped concrete?
Yes. We can discuss a straightforward textured finish and decorative options. The choice should suit the use, surrounding materials, and maintenance you want to take on.
Work that may belong together
A patio often works best when its paths and changes in level are planned at the same time.
Tell us what you have in mind.
A new patio, a worn driveway, or a project still taking shape. Share the location, a few photos, and what you want the space to do. We can start there.
