Can You Add a Backyard Patio to Existing Concrete?

The Challenge: Adding a Backyard Patio in Leesburg, VA Without Totally Starting Over

Adding a backyard patio is one of the best ways to expand your outdoor living space and increase your home’s value. But what if you already have a concrete slab that you don’t want to tear out?

That was the question a homeowner in Leesburg, Virginia, brought to Haijoe Stamped Concrete & Deck. As an award-winning Leesburg, VA patio contractor, we showed them how to transform existing concrete into a stunning natural stone patio using Pennsylvania thermal bluestone.

Scope of Work

  • Utilize Existing Concrete: Build over the concrete the homeowner already 

  • Expand the Patio: Add more square footage to create a complete backyard patio

  • Replace Old Steps: Remove outdated steps and build new ones that match the patio

  • Add Safety Features: Install proper lighting and railings for safe access

  • Achieve the Desired Look: Work with the natural color variations of bluestone to get the aesthetic the homeowner wanted

How Haijoe Solved It

As a trusted Leesburg, VA patio contractor, we designed and installed a complete backyard patio that transformed the homeowner’s outdoor space while preserving what was already there.

Backyard Patio Installation Over Existing Concrete

  • Overlay on Existing Concrete: Installed Pennsylvania thermal bluestone directly over the homeowner’s existing concrete, saving time and reducing demolition waste

  • Expanded Patio Area: Added additional concrete and stone to expand the patio to the desired size

  • Thermal Finish: Used thermal bluestone, which is heat-treated to create a textured, non-slip surface ideal for outdoor patios

  • Natural Color Variation: Worked with the stone’s inherent inconsistencies in blue and gray tones to create a unique, organic look

Custom Flagstone Steps with LED Lighting

  • Removed Old Steps: Demoed the existing steps that no longer met the homeowner’s needs

  • Built New Flagstone Steps: Created custom steps using flagstone to match the patio surface

  • Integrated LED Lights: Installed LED lighting within the steps for safety and ambiance during evening hours

Black Aluminum Railing

  • Safety and Style: Added a sleek black aluminum rail on one side of the steps, with the possibility of adding a matching rail on the other side.

  • Modern Aesthetic: The black aluminum complements the natural stone while providing a clean, contemporary look.

  • Code Compliance: Ensures the steps meet safety requirements for the homeowner and their guests.

Torched Stone for Color Consistency

  • Addressing Color Variations: The natural bluestone had significant inconsistencies in blue and gray tones.

  • Thermal Torching: The stone was torched on both sides to even out the color variations and achieve the homeowner’s desired aesthetic.

  • Custom Results: This process allowed us to deliver a more uniform, polished appearance while maintaining the natural beauty of the stone.

The Result: A Beautiful, Functional, Leesburg, VA Backyard Patio

The homeowner now has a stunning backyard patio that seamlessly blends new bluestone with their existing concrete. The custom flagstone steps with LED lighting provide safe, elegant access, and the black aluminum railing adds a modern touch. The torched stone delivers the consistent color palette they were looking for.
