Our New Patio

After much research and talking to various companies, Josh and I finally decided to get a concrete patio poured under our deck. We chose Joe Quinn Cement Construction and they begun construction on Wednesday morning.


Notice that the forms are poured under the stairs...this is to block Bella and Dakota's race track that goes around and around the base of the stairs. This and the difficulty mowing the area were the deciding factors to getting the patio. Giving two dogs that size a bath every couple of days to get the mud that was matted in to their hair and paws was getting tedious!

The following pictures are after the cement had been poured but the frames are still up. We are so excited that it is coming along so quickly and we should be able to stand/walk on it by Saturday. These photos were taken Thursday afternoon. The cement was still wet today.


Friday, they will return and remove the forms, fill in the edges with the dirt, and remove the old cement slab. We are also going to be doing some other minor remodeling things around the house so this was just the beginning! We will post the final picture soon!

You are going to really enjoy having this patio as a place to clean the dogs up. I wish we had a ground-level entrance to our house!!!
