Concrete Patio Contractor in Covina, CA

A patio is only as good as the slab under it. With 26 years of experience, J. Ortega Concrete pours backyard patios across Covina and the San Gabriel Valley — concrete slabs built thick, reinforced with rebar, and graded to drain right.

Concrete Patio Services

Patio slabs. New concrete patios sized to your yard — broom finish or decorative, control joints cut clean, edges straight.
Patio tear-out and replacement. We break out the old cracked patio, haul it away, and pour new.
Outdoor kitchen and BBQ islands. Concrete block islands with poured concrete countertops, built to hold your grill, fridge, and storage.
Seat walls and fire pits. Built-in concrete seating and fire pit areas that turn a slab into a backyard people actually use.
Pool decks and pool coping. New coping and deck flatwork around the pool, tied into the patio so the whole yard flows.
Decorative finishes. Stamped, colored, acid washed, sand washed, and exposed aggregate finishes — plus concrete stain and sealer.

How We Build a Patio That Lasts

Slab thickness: 4 inches, the standard for residential patios
Reinforcement: #3 rebar at 18 inches on center
Base: crushed-rock base available as an upgrade
Drainage: every patio graded away from the house — no birdbaths, no water against the foundation
Control joints cut to manage cracking where concrete naturally wants to crack

Every patio we pour is built to the same standard — whether it's a simple slab or a full backyard with a kitchen, fire pit, and seat walls.

Concrete Patio FAQs

How much does a concrete patio cost?

It depends on size, thickness, site access, and whether old concrete has to come out first. Every yard is different, so we do free on-site estimates — call (626) 404-8582 and we'll measure it and give you a firm number.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

Four inches is the standard for a residential patio. If the slab will carry heavy loads — like an outdoor kitchen island — we pour thicker and add rebar.

Do you remove my old patio?

Yes — we tear out the old concrete, haul it away, and pour new.

What's the difference between stamped and regular concrete?

Regular (broom-finish) concrete is the classic, cost-effective patio. Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and color while it's fresh to look like stone, brick, or tile — same slab underneath, fancier surface.

How long does a patio take?

Most backyard patios take a few days from tear-out to finish, depending on size. You'll get a schedule with your estimate.
