Broom finish, stamped, or exposed aggregate — sized and sloped for how you actually use your backyard.
A patio is one of the few concrete projects where looks matter as much as function. We help you pick a finish that fits your budget and how you'll actually use the space — grilling, entertaining, or just a quiet spot off the back door.
Standard broom-finish concrete is the most affordable option and gives good slip resistance — a solid choice for a simple, functional patio. Stamped concrete presses a pattern into the surface before it cures, mimicking natural stone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the cost of real materials. Exposed aggregate exposes the stone within the concrete mix itself for a textured, decorative surface that's especially popular around pools and outdoor kitchens.
| Finish | Cost per Sq Ft | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Broom finish | $9 – $13 | Budget-friendly, high slip resistance |
| Exposed aggregate | $12 – $18 | Texture, pool decks |
| Stamped / decorative | $14 – $22 | Custom stone or brick look |
We size patios around how you'll actually use them — a dining set and grill need less room than a full outdoor living area with a fire pit. We'll walk the yard with you, talk through traffic flow from your back door, and make sure the slab is properly sloped away from your foundation for drainage.
Free on-site estimate — we'll help you figure out size, finish, and layout.
Most patios take 1–3 days depending on size and finish — stamped and decorative work takes longer due to the coloring and stamping process. Expect to keep foot traffic off the new slab for about a week.
