Outdoor living surfaces built for coastal and canyon properties — sloped for drainage, jointed to move independently of the house, finished for barefoot comfort.
Outdoor living surfaces built for coastal and canyon properties — sloped for drainage, jointed to move independently of the house, finished for barefoot comfort.
We check slope, drainage direction, and how the patio meets the house, pool coping, or planters before pouring — isolation joints go wherever independent movement needs to be absorbed.
Poured at 4 inches over compacted base, sloped away from the structure at 1/4 inch per foot so runoff never pools at a threshold or sliding door track.
Broom, trowel, and salt finishes are all available; we usually recommend a light broom texture for barefoot pool traffic on Point Dume and Broad Beach properties.
A concrete patio is a practical, low-maintenance outdoor surface for Malibu's coastal and canyon properties. We design and pour patios to fit your yard, with finishes from smooth broom concrete to stamped patterns that match the home's architecture.
Fire pits, built-in seating pads, and outdoor kitchen slabs are poured with the patio so there are no cold joints. We detail expansion joints where the slab meets the house, pool coping, or a raised planter, so those isolation joints absorb movement instead of transferring it into a crack.
4 inches over 4 inches of compacted base is standard for foot traffic and furniture loads.
A light broom finish is our default recommendation for barefoot pool traffic — it holds traction without being rough underfoot.
Yes, pouring them together in the same slab avoids a cold joint, which is a common crack point on patios poured in separate stages.
Foot traffic is generally fine after 24–48 hours; furniture and full use once the surface is sealed.
