#1 Mendota Heights Patio COnstruction Services
Backyards in Mendota Heights tend to be larger and more established, and many homeowners near Somerset and the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi and Minnesota River confluence are looking to make better use of that space — a bigger patio for entertaining, a stamped surface that fits a higher-end home, or a full outdoor living upgrade that matches the quality of the rest of the property. We also hear from homeowners whose original patio slab has aged out: cracked corners, a faded plain finish, or a size that no longer fits how they actually use the backyard.
Because many lots here have real topography — slopes down toward the river bluffs, mature tree cover, and established landscaping — patio drainage takes more planning than a flat suburban lot. Water needs a clear path away from the house and around existing grading, which we account for before any concrete goes in.
We also work with homeowners upgrading a functional but plain patio into a more decorative feature — stamped patterns, integral or applied color, and a layout that ties into a deck, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen as part of a larger backyard project.
Our process starts with excavating and grading the site to work with your property’s natural slope and existing landscaping, then installing a compacted aggregate base sized for Minnesota’s frost cycle. We reinforce with fiber mesh appropriate to the patio’s use, then pour and finish in broom, stamped, or exposed-aggregate texture, with a sealer applied for a cleaner, more polished look where appropriate.
As a family-owned, local business, we build every Mendota Heights patio to the same standard, whether it’s a simple broom-finish pad or a full stamped outdoor living space.
Absolute Concrete LLC has built patios across Mendota Heights, from broom-finish replacements to stamped, decorative outdoor living spaces designed around larger lots and existing landscaping. Our friendly team works efficiently and keeps the site tidy throughout.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Google River WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dean and his crew built me a beautiful patio fast and affordable. Dean’s son Preston is clearly a chip off the old block and professional and hardworking. I enjoyed having them over to create my vision. A million thanks!Posted on Google Tom WiegeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dean, with Absolute Concrete, did a masterful job on our condo association's 5-car garage. We needed two new garage floors poured, and an entire alleyway apron removed and re-poured across all 5 stalls and attached driveway. He was on time, courteous, efficient and highly skilled. We are very happy with the result, and would not hesitate to recommend him. In addition to the concrete work, he removed and remounted two garage doors, with door openers, and re-configured some garage shelving to be compatible with our new floor. He also replaced a front sidewalk for us too. Dean did it all with a smile on his face, and a desire to make us happy customers in as short a time as possible. Great guy, great business.Posted on Google Bethny HoffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super happy with everything.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES OF OUR MENDOTA HEIGHTS PATIO CONSTRUCTION
Features That Make Our Installation Stand Out
- Topography-Aware Grading: We design drainage around sloped, bluff-adjacent lots rather than a standard flat layout.
- Established-Landscape Planning: Work planned around mature trees and existing landscaping common on larger Mendota Heights lots.
- Frost-Ready Base Prep: Compacted aggregate base installed to resist Minnesota’s freeze-thaw heaving.

- Higher-End Finish Options: Stamped patterns, integral and applied color, and exposed-aggregate textures available.
- Control-Joint Layout: Clean, planned joint placement that manages cracking rather than leaving it to chance.
- Sealing for a Polished Look: Protects the finished surface and gives it a cleaner, higher-end appearance.
A patio that doesn’t match the rest of a well-kept property is easy to fix. Our Mendota Heights patio installation service is built to work with your lot, not against it.
frequently asked questions
Yes. We grade and design around your property's natural slope so water is directed away from the house and any structures, rather than pooling on or near the new patio.
Cost depends on square footage, site prep and grading complexity, and finish selected — a standard broom finish costs less than a stamped or multi-color decorative surface. We provide a written, itemized estimate.
Requirements vary by size and location relative to your property line. We check what applies to your project and handle any necessary permitting as part of the process.
Yes. We regularly build patios as part of a larger backyard plan and can coordinate layout, tie-ins, and finish to match existing features.
Concrete needs stable, above-freezing conditions to cure properly, so patio pours are scheduled within the active construction season, roughly May through October, based on when you request your estimate.
