Patios have become an increasingly important part of any home. An extension of your living space, a patio can be a great place to unwind at the end of the day or welcome guests for a weekend barbecue. And a well-installed patio by professional concrete patio contractors are easy to maintain and can add significant value to your home.
As concrete patio contractors, we have seen the rise of concrete as the main material used in building modern patios. Concrete is an incredibly versatile and cost-effective material that can be finished in a multitude of ways, offering different looks and designs for your patio.
Greenway of Nashville has a team of concrete patio contractors installing patios in the Nashville and surrounding areas for over 10 years, and we pride ourselves on providing excellent quality, service, and craftsmanship to all of our customers, every single time.
Concrete is such a versatile material that it can be formed into any shape, tinted with any color, and used to create interesting spaces and features in your backyard. Your outdoor space can become a real ‘destination’ in your home by installing concrete walls, pathways, seats, fire pits, ponds, and water fountains.
At Greenway of Nashville, we like to take the time to get a very clear picture of what you want for your patio. We’re not just your local concrete patio contractors; we’re professionals that like to invest the time up front to make sure that we discuss all the available options with you to find the best possible solution for your patio.
While it is entirely possible to install a concrete patio yourself, it’s hard work, and you’ll need some extra hands to help with the heavy lifting. The area needs to be marked out, excavated, and regraded where necessary before laying a sub-base layer to provide a stable foundation. Once the concrete has been mixed, it starts to harden; so, time is of the essence! Greenway’s concrete patio contractors are well-versed with this process; we are experts in making sure the concrete is of the right consistency before pouring and then working quickly to level out the concrete using a screed board for a smooth surface. Concrete needs to set before it can be finished, which takes between 24-48 hours.
As we touched on in the introduction, a concrete patio can be a beautiful addition to your home. Here’s a summary of the real advantages that a concrete patio can offer you:
Concrete can be whatever you want it to be. Color, design, texture...it’s your choice. Let’s take a quick look at the options.
A broom finish is achieved by dragging a broom across the concrete before it’s fully set to create small ridges. This finish is slip-resistant and useful for outside walkways and driveways, as well as patios.
An exposed-aggregate concrete finish combines the strength of concrete with the beauty of the naturally colored aggregate. Aggregates come in lots of colors and textures, so you can customize your patio and achieve a highly decorative look to suit your backyard. Aggregate finished patios are easy to maintain, skid-resistant, and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Stained concrete is a highly versatile finish that comes in any color. Acid-stained concrete can be made to look like other materials, such as marble, stone, or wood, adding character to an otherwise bland concrete surface. A water-based stain produces a rich, uniform look that can lend drama to your outdoor space. Either way, stained concrete finishes are fade-resistant, offering you a hard-wearing permanent color to your patio.
