Concrete Patio Services
A patio can be a simple slab off the back door or room for the whole family. These are the common patio jobs.
Patio Replacement
When an old patio has heaved, sunk toward the house or broken into pieces, the usual fix is to take it out and pour a new one.
Patio Extensions
Is the patio you have too small? More concrete can be added at the edge to give you the room you need.
Hot Tub & Shed Pads
Heavy things need a level, solid base. Say what will sit on the pad, and your contractor can plan it for the weight.
Stamped & Colored Patios
Patterns that look like slate, stone or brick, with color worked into the concrete.
See Stamped ConcretePatio Repair
Small cracks and a worn surface can often be repaired, which keeps the patio you already have in use.

Patios Built for Pittsburgh Weather
Rain, freezing nights and sloped backyards make patio work here a little different. Water has to run off the slab and away from your foundation, and the concrete has to handle winter after winter of freeze and thaw.
Ask about these when you get your estimate.
What a lasting patio needs
- A compacted stone base, even on a sloped yard
- A gentle slope away from the house
- Air-entrained concrete that stands up to freezing
- Control joints to keep cracks in straight lines
- A sealer once the concrete has cured
Plain or Stamped Concrete?
Both make a good patio. The choice comes down to the look you want and your budget.
Plain Broom Finish
A broom is dragged across the wet concrete, which leaves a fine texture that helps with grip when it rains. It is the lower cost choice and easy to keep clean.
Stamped Concrete
For a patio that looks like slate, flagstone or brick, stamping and color do the job. Expect a higher price, plus a fresh coat of sealer every few years to keep the color looking good.

Planning a Patio in Pittsburgh
Why Does the Concrete Mix Matter Here?
Pittsburgh averages more than a hundred days a year with a low at or below freezing. Outdoor concrete here should be air-entrained, which helps it hold up to freezing and thawing without flaking.
Who Calls 811 Before Digging?
Whoever does the digging. Pennsylvania law requires homeowners and contractors to call 811 at least three business days before any digging, so buried lines are marked first.
Which Way Should a Patio Drain?
Away from the house. A gentle slope sends rain off the slab and away from your foundation.

Concrete Patio Questions
How much does a concrete patio cost?
Across the US, a plain concrete patio typically runs $4 to $12 per square foot installed. The size, the work to level the yard and the finish set your price, and a plain patio costs less than a stamped one. Many of the same things move the price of a driveway, as our driveway cost page explains. Your free estimate gives you the real number.
Is a concrete patio cheaper than pavers?
A plain concrete patio usually costs less than a paver patio. Stamped concrete can land close to pavers in price.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
A home patio should be at least four inches thick, on a compacted stone base. A pad for a hot tub may need more, so mention it when you ask for your estimate.
When can I use my new patio?
You can usually walk on it after a couple of days. Check with your contractor before you set anything heavy on it.
Should a concrete patio be sealed?
Sealing helps keep out water and stains. Wait until the concrete has cured, about a month after the pour, and reseal every few years.
Can new concrete go over an old patio?
Only if the old patio is solid and level. If it has sunk, heaved or broken up, it is usually taken out first. See concrete repair for patios that can be fixed.
