A failing patio or uneven concrete slab isn’t just an eyesore—it can cause bigger issues like poor drainage, foundation problems, or pest control concerns. Maybe your old slab has settled, water pools next to your house, or the surface is just too small for a, grill, or fire pit.
If your outdoor area feels more like a construction zone than a usable space, it’s time to make a change.
We help Cedar Rapids homeowners fix the function and flow of their backyard—without blowing their budget.
Lee’s Lawn & Landscape provides expert concrete patio installation and paver patio construction in Cedar Rapids and nearby areas. Whether you're replacing cracked cement, planning a new layout, or starting from scratch, we offer full-service solutions that consider water flow, soil stability, slab perimeter, and long-term durability.
We handle everything from subbase prep to the final trowel finish. That means we show up with the right tools—from the concrete mixer and screed to the tape measure and broom—and build your new patio with, precise square footage, and dependable craftsmanship.
We also handle:
Plumbing sleeves for outdoor kitchens or drainage
Pest control considerations during slab prep
Proper grading with gravel and crushed stone for long-term performance
We don’t cut corners. Our patios are built to perform under pressure—literally.
We build patios of all sizes, shapes, and finishes. Whether you're looking for a clean concrete slab or decorative pavers with a custom layout, we tailor the installation to your yard, soil conditions, and lifestyle.
Concrete patios are a smart, cost-effective choice with long-term durability. Our crew sets proper rebar, uses quality portland cement mixes, and applies release agents and jointers to prevent cracks or shifting. From smooth finishes to stamped concrete that mimics wood or tile, we build patios that look great and hold up through every season.
Options include:
Stamped concrete with colored pigment and texture
Broom finish for slip-resistance
Exposed aggregate for a rustic look
Polished concrete for sleek, modern patios
We handle demolition of old slabs, subbase compaction, and edging for a clean result that blends well with driveways, sidewalks, and garage entries.
Paver patios offer flexibility, custom design options, and easy maintenance. We install pavers on a compacted gravel and sand base that allows for proper drainage, preventing puddles and shifting.
Common materials:
Brick-style pavers
Flagstone or slate-style for rustic gardens
Concrete pavers in dozens of colors and shapes
Tile-style finishes with clean grout lines
Pavers can be lifted and reset if needed, and they complement other landscape features like fire pits, garden beds, and seating walls.

I had a great experience with Lee’s Lawn and Landscape with my backyard project. Jon listened to what we wanted and made it happen. He checked in with us throughout the project. I would recommend Lee’s Lawn and Landscape.
It depends on the square footage, finish type (broomed, stamped, polished), and site prep required. We’ll walk the yard, take measurements, and give you a fixed quote.
Pavers offer more design flexibility and easier repairs. Concrete is often more budget-friendly and fast to install. It depends on your goals, layout, and maintenance preferences.
We’ve seen a lot of DIY patios go wrong due to improper grading, poor base prep, or wrong tools. We bring the gear (concrete mixers, wheelbarrows, screeds, rebar benders) and the crew to do it right the first time.
