A concrete patio is the floor of most Las Vegas backyards. We pour new patios and extend slabs that came up short. Pool decks and pads for shade structures are the same work. Ram Masonry has poured concrete around the valley since 2014. Most calls start the same way: the old slab stops a few feet past the back door. There is no room for a table, and no cover from the afternoon sun. We form and pour a slab sized for how you use the yard. Juan Delgadillo owns the company and works the job with his crew.
Patio work in the desert lives or dies on what sits under the slab. Our soil runs to caliche, a cemented hardpan layer that fights a shovel and blocks water. We dig out the loose material and set a compacted base. The grade sends water away from the house and off the slab. In summer we pour early, while the mix and the ground are still cool. Prep like that is most of the job, and it never shows up in a photo.

Design starts with how the yard gets used. We measure the space a table and chairs really need, then add room to walk behind them. Sun matters more here than in most cities. A west facing slab bakes from about 2 p.m. until sundown. We look at where a cover or a tree would put shade before we set the shape. Where the patio meets turf, we set the slab height so the edge sits clean.
We form the shape, then prep what goes under it. Loose dirt comes out and the base gets compacted. Steel or fiber mesh goes in, and residential slabs run four inches thick. Extensions get tied to the old slab at a joint, so the two can move on their own.
Summer pours run on a different clock. Concrete should leave the truck under about 95 degrees, so we start at first light in July and August. The slab gets floated and finished, then cut for control joints the same day. Those cuts tell the concrete where to crack. Curing starts right away, and you can usually walk on the patio the next day.
Most patios here get a broom finish, which holds grip when the surface is wet. A steel trowel finish reads smoother and suits a covered patio. Stamped patterns and color are on our stamped concrete page.
Plain broom finish concrete patios in the Las Vegas area usually land somewhere around $8 to $15 per square foot. That is a wide spread on purpose. A clean, open backyard with a simple square pour sits at the low end. Tight side gate access and demo of an old slab push a job toward the top. Anyone who quotes your patio over the phone is guessing.
Size works against small pours. A 200 square foot extension costs more per foot than a 900 square foot patio. Setup and delivery run the same either way. Thickness and steel move the price when a hot tub or a vehicle sits on the slab. Caliche is its own line item, since hardpan can turn a two hour dig into a full day. Finish choice moves it too. Estimates are free, and we price the job after we see the yard.
A pool deck is a patio with harder rules. The surface has to hold grip under wet feet, so we broom finish almost every deck. Slope carries splash water away from the coping and out to the yard. We keep a joint between the deck and the pool shell, because the two move on their own schedule. Lighter gray stays cooler than dark color under an August sun.
Plenty of our pool deck calls are not new pools. The old decking is cracked, or it stops three feet from the water. There is no room to set a lounger. We cut out the bad sections and pour a deck that reaches where you sit. Some homeowners prefer pavers around the water, and that work has its own page. Shade over part of the deck makes the surface usable in the afternoon.
Backyard season here runs from fall through spring, plus mornings and evenings in summer. We pour concrete patios for homeowners in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Summerlin. The rest of the valley is the same drive: Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, Winchester and Boulder City. Ram Masonry is licensed for residential and commercial work, and we take commercial flatwork and outdoor seating slabs as well.
Clark County usually does not require a building permit for a ground level patio slab. A patio cover or shade structure does need one, along with setbacks. Tell us early if a cover is coming. We size the pad and set thickness where the posts will land. Driveways and walkways have their own pages, and we often pour them on the same trip.
Juan Delgadillo, who goes by Junior, has worked masonry and concrete for decades. He opened Ram Masonry in 2014 and still runs the jobs himself. We hold Nevada C-18 masonry license number 0080771, and we are bonded and insured. Ask for that paperwork before anyone starts digging in your yard.
A patio shows its prep within two summers. Soft base or late joint cuts surface later as cracks and low spots that hold water. That is where our time goes before the truck arrives. Call (702) 769-4416 for a free estimate on your concrete patio.

(702) 769-4416From the first look at the site to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
Call or send the form, and photos by text get a fast first read. For a firm number we come out, measure the run, and check what sits under the job: grade, access, caliche, old work.
You get a written price and timeline before any work starts. If a permit or engineering applies, the estimate says so. Repair and rebuild get quoted as separate numbers when both are on the table.
Footings dug to bearing and inspected, rebar and grout in the cells, base compacted before concrete, mortar kept from drying too fast in the heat. The parts you never see get built like the parts you do.
We walk the finished work with you: walls plumb, joints full, slabs draining the right way, site cleaned up. Done means you have looked at every part of it and said so.
