Concrete Patio Replacement for St. Louis Outdoor Living
Concrete patio replacement is about more than pouring a flat slab. The patio needs the right size, pitch, base, transitions, and finish so the outdoor space looks intentional and moves water away from the home.
Midwest Hardscapes builds concrete patios for everyday backyard use, covered porch transitions, outdoor kitchens, steps, walkways, and pool-adjacent spaces throughout the St. Louis region.

Service questions
What makes concrete patio replacement different from a new patio installation?
Replacement starts with removing failed or poorly pitched concrete and correcting the base before the new patio is poured. New installation focuses on layout, access, drainage, and how the patio connects to the home and yard.
Can a concrete patio help with drainage problems?
A correctly built patio can improve surface water movement, but the pitch, base, and connection to walks or steps have to be planned carefully.
Do you build patios outside St. Charles?
Yes. We provide concrete patio replacement and patio installation across St. Louis, St. Charles County, West County, South County, and nearby service areas.
The Best Place for Your Patio Installation
The ideal spot and sizing of your patio will be the deciding factor between creating a relaxing area that will be in use often and for most of the year, or one that will rarely be used due to the lack of space and discomfort. When determining the size of the patio, you should consider how many people will be using it on a regular basis. You need to make sure there is enough room for a table and chairs, a grill area, and extra seating.
Small Yard Patio Installation
If you happen to have a small yard, that does not mean you should neglect it. In fact, small yards deserve love, too. When you define significant areas in a small space, it increases functionality. By adding a unique hardscape, you are creating a focal point for the design, as well as an open area for entertainment and dining.
Natural Stone Patio Installation
If you are looking for a patio that has a distinctive appearance, then natural stone is the choice for you. Two perks of natural stone are the fact it is very durable and can last for centuries. However, it is more difficult to install in order for the patio to be level, the depth of the base must be altered in order to accommodate the fluctuating thickness of the stone.
When your patio is installed correctly, it will last at least 30 years. Therefore, it only makes sense to thoroughly think about the design, pick the correct materials, and invest in the proper installation.
