Concrete Patios in Ingersoll
We pour concrete patios across Ingersoll, from first patios in the newest surveys to replacements behind the CAMI-era homes and the older houses near the core. Most of the town sits on Thames valley clay-loam that holds water and lifts a slab on a thin base, so we build the base first, slope the patio about 2 percent away from the house, and pour air-entrained 32 MPa concrete. Union-certified crews, a free written quote, and a lifetime warranty on labour.

Ingersoll lies in the Thames valley on the clay-loam ground that covers most of central Oxford County. Clay holds melt and rain, and frost lifts slab edges wherever a base was poured thin. A backyard patio sits right next to the foundation, so the same water that lifts the slab can also end up against the basement wall.
So an Ingersoll patio is decided in the base and the slope, not on pour day. The full method, the mix, the 100 mm slab, the base and the control joints, is on our concrete patios page. This page is about what Ingersoll's ground and homes change. The site visit and the written quote are free, and the number on the quote is the number you pay unless you change the job.
Clay-loam ground, frost and water
On clay, the answer to frost is a proper base and good drainage, not just a thicker slab. We slope the patio about 2 percent away from the house so melt and rain run off the slab, not toward your basement.
The low ground near the Thames stays wetter than the rest of town. On a lot down there, where the downspouts empty matters as much as the slab itself. We look at your grade and your downspouts at the site visit and plan the base and the runoff to suit them.
New surveys, CAMI-era yards and the older core
In the newest surveys at the edge of town, the patio is often the job the builder left for the homeowner: the step that turns a builder lot into a finished yard.
The subdivisions that grew up after the CAMI plant opened in 1989 are now 25 to 35 years old. In the older blocks around Thames Street, the patio meets century brick and older foundations, so we keep the slope and the runoff clear of the walls.
Finish, cure and when to book
Broom finish gives grip and is the most affordable. Exposed aggregate adds texture. Stamped concrete adds pattern and colour; see our stamped and decorative concrete page if you are weighing it. Whatever the finish, the slab is 32 MPa air-entrained concrete.
You can walk on a new patio after 24 to 48 hours, set furniture on it after about a week, and seal it at about 28 days. Ingersoll books into the same weekly Oxford County routing as Woodstock and Beachville, so getting a crew here is scheduling, not a special favour.
Straight answers
Does Ingersoll's clay ground change how a patio is built?
Yes. Clay-loam holds water, and frost lifts a slab edge wherever the base is thin. We slope the patio about 2 percent away from the house. The concrete is air-entrained 32 MPa, made for freeze-thaw.
When can we use a new patio?
Walk on it after 24 to 48 hours. Give it about a week before furniture, planters or the barbecue, and about 28 days before sealing. Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after the pour.
How much does a concrete patio cost in Ingersoll?
Size, the finish you choose, access to the backyard and the state of the ground all move the number. We do not post a per-foot rate. You get a written quote after a free site visit, and the number on the quote is the number on the invoice unless you change the job.
