Custom Patios

The Foundation of Your Outdoor Life

The foundation of every great backyard. From decorative concrete to natural flagstone — the surface that ties your entire outdoor space together.

Custom Patios

The Foundation of Your Outdoor Life

Your patio is the connective tissue of your backyard. It's the surface that links the pool to the outdoor kitchen, the fire pit to the seating area, the house to the landscape. A well-designed patio isn't just a slab — it's a deliberate sequence of spaces, materials, and transitions that make your backyard feel intentional.

Blue Tide Exteriors builds patios in decorative concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers, flagstone, and natural stone. As an authorized Renaissance Patio Products dealer, we also install engineered patio systems with manufacturer-backed warranties. Every patio is designed to handle Louisiana's climate — proper slope for drainage, control joints for soil movement, and materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles.

Most patio projects are part of a larger build — pool deck, outdoor kitchen pad, fire pit seating area, walkways. We design the entire surface plan in 3D during your consultation so you can see how materials, colors, and patterns flow together before we pour a single yard of concrete.

Why Blue Tide

Built to Last

Every project is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty and 24 years of combined construction experience.

Decorative Concrete

Concrete stamped to resemble stone, brick, slate, or wood. Colored and sealed for a premium look at a fraction of natural stone cost. Unlimited patterns and colors.

Natural Stone

Flagstone, travertine, and bluestone for the ultimate luxury patio. Each piece is unique, creating a one-of-a-kind surface that ages beautifully.

Paver Systems

Interlocking concrete pavers in dozens of colors and patterns. Replaceable, repairable, and backed by manufacturer warranties.

Proper Drainage

Louisiana rain is no joke. Every patio is engineered with proper slope (1/4" per foot), drainage channels, and soil preparation to prevent settling and cracking.

Covered Patios

Add a pergola, pavilion, or solid roof to your patio for shade and weather protection. We design the structure and surface as one integrated system.

Renaissance Dealer

Authorized installer of Renaissance Patio Products — engineered patio systems with manufacturer warranties. Premium materials, factory-backed performance.

Real Timeline

Construction Timeline

An honest breakdown — no marketing tricks. We show you the full timeline, not just the part that sounds fast.

Pre-Construction

1-2 weeks

3D design, material selection, permit processing.

Week 1

2-3 working days

Day 1: Excavation and grading. Day 2: Base preparation — compacted aggregate, leveling. Day 3: Forming and reinforcement (rebar where applicable).

Week 1-2

1-2 working days

Concrete pour and finish — stamped, exposed aggregate, or smooth. Sealer applied after cure.

Paver installations follow a similar timeline but skip the curing period — pavers are ready immediately.

Week 2

1 day

Cleanup, sealing, and final inspection. Patio ready for use.

Concrete needs 3-7 days to cure before heavy use. Pavers are ready immediately.

TOTAL: 1-2 WEEKS (DESIGN TO COMPLETION) — ONLY 3-5 ACTUAL WORKING DAYS ON SITE

Why other builders take longer: Subcontractor scheduling gaps. Our in-house crews control the schedule — no waiting for someone else's crew to show up.

Our Process

From Vision to Reality

A proven 4-phase approach that keeps you informed every step of the way.

01

We Listen

25-minute consultation. We measure your space, discuss materials and budget, and create a 3D rendering showing material flow and layout.

02

Site Prep

Grading, compaction, and base installation. We excavate to proper depth, install a compacted stone base, and set forms with correct slope for drainage.

03

Pour & Finish

Concrete is poured, colored/textured, and sealed. For pavers or stone, materials are set in sand or mortar base with precise joint spacing.

04

Seal & Cure

Concrete cures for 7-28 days depending on conditions. We apply a premium sealer that protects against stains, UV, and freeze-thaw damage.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much does a custom patio cost?+
Decorative concrete starts around $12-$18 per square foot. Pavers run $15-$25/sq ft. Natural flagstone is $20-$35/sq ft. A typical 500 sq ft patio ranges $6,000-$17,500 depending on material and complexity.
How long does patio construction take?+
Most patio projects take 1-2 weeks from demolition to final seal. Larger projects with multiple material types or integrated features (fire pits, seat walls, lighting) may take 3-4 weeks.
What's the best patio material for Louisiana?+
Decorative concrete with a quality sealer is the most popular choice — it handles our climate well, offers unlimited design options, and is cost-effective. Pavers are excellent for areas with tree roots or soil movement since they can be lifted and reset.
Can you match my existing patio?+
Yes. We can color-match decorative concrete, source matching pavers, or blend new and old areas with a transition border. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
Do patios need permits in Shreveport?+
Generally no for flatwork, but yes if the patio includes a roof structure, electrical, or gas lines. We handle all permits as part of your project.
Can you add a fire pit or seating wall?+
Absolutely. Fire pits, seat walls, columns, and lighting are integrated into the patio design. We design these as part of the 3D rendering so everything flows together.

★★★★★

They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.
