Why Choose Us as Your Concrete Slab Contractor in Fairfax County?
Built for Fairfax County Soil & Climate
Northern Virginia’s clay-heavy soils and seasonal weather changes can cause cracking and settling if patios aren’t built correctly.
We prevent those problems by focusing on:
- Proper subgrade compaction
- Correct slope for water drainage
- Vapor barriers to reduce ground moisture
- Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement
This approach ensures your patio stays level, strong, and attractive year after year.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"We worked with Concrete Sergeant to create a stamped concrete patio for our fire pit and outdoor seating area. From the first consultation, they were professional, patient, and full of great ideas. The stamped finish looks like real slate and gives our yard a high-end feel without the cost. It’s held up beautifully through all weather."
Rachel D., Annapolis, MD
"I had a general layout in mind for a grilling and dining patio, but Concrete Sergeant helped me refine the design and choose the perfect finish. They installed it in just a few days and left no mess behind. We chose an exposed aggregate look and it’s stunning—textured, slip-resistant, and super durable. Highly recommend!"
Ben S., Edgewater, MD
