Serving Gulfport, MS and surrounding areas. (228) 263-3601
Replace a rotting deck or muddy backyard with a concrete patio that drains correctly, holds up through hurricane season, and stays level in Gulfport's sandy coastal soil.
Concrete patio construction in Gulfport, MS means excavating the area, compacting a gravel base suited to the local sandy soil, pouring a reinforced slab, and grading the surface to drain away from the house - most residential patios take one to three days of active work, plus a week before placing heavy furniture.
Homeowners in Gulfport usually reach out because their backyard floods after every rainstorm, their old deck is rotting, or they want a stable surface for outdoor furniture and a grill. The challenge with patio work in this market is that Gulfport gets around 65 inches of rain per year and sits on sandy, low-lying coastal soil - conditions that are harder on a concrete slab than most contractors account for if they are not local.
A patio that is built without proper drainage becomes a puddle after every storm, and a patio poured on a thin or poorly compacted base will start to crack and settle within a few years. We handle both of those problems on every job. If you want to add decorative texture, we offer stamped concrete finishes and can tie your patio into a pool deck if you have a pool. Contact us for a free on-site estimate.
Gulfport gets heavy rain regularly, and if your backyard has no solid surface, you are probably dealing with mud, standing water, and grass that never fully dries out. A concrete patio gives you a clean dry place to step out onto even after a downpour.
Small hairline cracks are normal, but if you can see wide gaps, feel a noticeable lip between sections, or notice the slab tilting, the underlying base has likely shifted. In Gulfport's sandy coastal soil, this kind of settling happens faster than it does in other parts of the state.
Wood decks in Gulfport's humid, salt-air environment have a hard life. If your deck boards are soft underfoot or the structure is pulling away from the house, replacing it with a concrete patio is a practical long-term solution that holds up to Gulf Coast weather far better.
If you notice water collecting against your house after a storm, the grade of your yard may be directing water toward the foundation. A properly sloped concrete patio can redirect that water flow and protect your foundation over the long term.
We build concrete patios for every kind of outdoor project - plain broom-finish slabs for homeowners who want low maintenance and durability, decorative and stamped finishes for homeowners who want the look of brick or stone without the upkeep, and large entertainment slabs that anchor a full outdoor kitchen, dining set, and lounge space. Every patio we pour includes a compacted gravel base, proper slope for drainage, control joints, and a surface texture of your choice.
We also combine patio work with concrete pool decks for customers who want a connected outdoor surface around the pool and patio area. Doing the whole project at once reduces the number of site visits, keeps the finished surfaces consistent, and saves money on concrete delivery. If you are planning anything bigger than a basic slab, reach out and we will walk through the options with you.

After Hurricane Katrina reshaped Gulfport in 2005, the city updated its drainage and elevation standards for new construction and improvements. Many neighborhoods now have stricter rules about how water must be managed on your property. A local contractor who has worked in Gulfport since the rebuild understands these requirements and designs every patio's slope and drainage to meet them - protecting both your yard and your neighbors'. Customers in Ocean Springs and Long Beach face the same post-Katrina drainage standards, and we build to that bar across all of our service areas.
Gulfport's sandy coastal soil is also softer and more variable than the clay-heavy soils found further inland in Mississippi. A standard-thickness gravel base that works fine in Jackson or Hattiesburg may not be enough here. We assess the soil at each site and adjust the base preparation accordingly - because a patio that looks perfect on pour day but cracks and settles by year three is not the outcome we are willing to accept. Harrison County permit information is available at the Harrison County Building Department.
We come out to look at your yard before giving you a price. We check the slope, drainage, and soil conditions - not just the measurements. Call or fill out the form and we will respond within 1 business day.
We apply for the required Harrison County building permit before any work begins. This step can take a few days depending on current county workload. We keep you updated throughout.
We dig out the area, compact a gravel base thick enough for Gulfport's sandy coastal soil, and set forms. On pour day, we fill and level the slab, cut control joints, and finish the surface to your spec.
Stay off the surface for at least 48 hours. Before we leave for the last time, we walk the finished patio with you, confirm drainage is working, and explain when and how to apply a protective sealer.

Gulfport receives nearly double the national average rainfall. We slope every patio a quarter inch per foot away from the house and verify drainage before we leave - because a patio that pools water after a storm is not finished work.
Gulfport's low-lying coastal soil does not compact as firmly as inland clay soils. We pour a thicker, more carefully compacted gravel base than you would need in other markets - the step that keeps your slab level and intact for decades.
We have poured patios and outdoor surfaces in Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, and nine other communities. We know the permit requirements, post-Katrina drainage standards, and soil conditions in every area we serve.
We treat every patio the same way we would treat one at our own home - solid base, proper drainage, clean finish, and a walkthrough before we leave.
