Expert Concrete Patio Installation in Fairfax, VA

CM Hardscapes provides concrete patio installation for homeowners in Fairfax, VA who want a durable, low-maintenance outdoor surface. We handle every step: site assessment, grading, base preparation, forming, pouring, finishing, and sealing. Fairfax County sits on clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with moisture. Without proper sub-base prep and reinforcement, slabs crack and settle. We account for that from the start. Northern Virginia also sees hard freeze-thaw winters and humid summers, so we cut control joints and use reinforcement to manage seasonal movement. Every patio is graded to move water away from your foundation. Whether you want a clean broom finish for a backyard entertaining space or a textured surface around a pool area, we size and design the slab to fit your yard. Call CM Hardscapes to schedule a site visit and get a clear, written estimate for your Fairfax patio project.

Fairfax County has clay-heavy soil that shifts with moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles add stress to slabs. Proper base prep, reinforcement, and control joints prevent most cracking.

We offer broom finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete options to match your home's style. Each finish is sealed for long-term protection against Virginia's weather.

The team at CM Hardscapes did a fantastic job on our patio and outdoor fireplace! They were very thorough and efficient. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Thank you!

Steven Steele Google review · April 2026

We hired CM Hardscapes to build a retaining wall and concrete patio floor for the area outside our basement sliding glass door. When we called to request an estimate, they came right out and gave us an estimate that same day. They suggested a cinder block wall covered with bricks to replace the timber wall which was deteriorating. This wall is such an improvement! It looks beautiful! We are so happy with the engineering they used to solve our water runoff issue. They filled the area behind the wall with gravel and installed a draining pipe behind the wall. They also took a lot of care to match the bricks in the wall to those in the house. They came out the very next week to begin work on the project. René and his team worked so hard to complete the project in one week. They were very detail oriented, and cleaned up the area afterwards beautifully. The customer service I received in the office was exceptional. They responded quickly and satisfactorily to all of my questions. No other contractor I talked to suggested covering the cinder blocks with bricks. It makes such a difference! I would highly recommend them.

We put off this starting this project for years. We were in desperate need of getting our front, brick steps fixed. They were from the 1980’s and were crumbling badly - just in bad shape overall. The rail was also wiggly and unstable - very unsafe. We got a quote in 2022, but didn’t request to start the repair job until 2025 - and the price was not too different from the original quote that was 3-years old. CM Hardscapes was very responsive and they were able to come in and complete the job within a few weeks of the first call / quote. The owner also personally came to our site for a visit and addressed an area that we were concerned with immediately. Paul replaced the railing and we are very happy with the design and final product. He is very courteous. CM called or emailed during every step of the process so we were aware of the expectations from the beginning. We couldn’t ask for better response time and service! Thank you, CM, for making a project that we procrastinated on (for too long) go so smoothly!! We are very happy to have a safe front porch now and the bricks were a great match - it looks great.

We hired CM Hardscapes to refurbish our patio and our stairs. After getting several estimates, their estimate was very competitive. Also, they really seemed to understand what we wanted done. We received their estimate very quickly and they refurbished my patio and stairs very quickly and did an excellent job.
