Concrete patio contractors in Georgia
From a simple pad for the grill to a full outdoor living area with steps, borders and a fire-pit pad, we pour patios that drain away from the house and look good for decades.
How we do it
- 1
Design and estimate
We walk the yard with you, talk through size, shape and finish, and check how the patio meets the house, the door threshold and any deck. The estimate shows the layout and the finish.
- 2
Excavation and base
Sod and soil come out to the right depth. A compacted gravel base keeps the slab from settling in Georgia's clay.
- 3
Forms and reinforcement
Forms set the shape, including curves. The slab is sloped about a quarter inch per foot away from the house. Wire mesh or rebar goes in on chairs.
- 4
Pour and finish
We place and finish on the schedule the weather allows: early starts in summer, protection on cold nights. Broom, exposed aggregate, color or stamping.
- 5
Joints, sealer and cure
Control joints are planned into the design, not just cut wherever. Decorative patios get sealed. The slab cures for several days before furniture goes on.
Options and finishes
Broom finish
Clean and practical. Easy to pressure-wash, safe underfoot when wet.
Exposed aggregate
A pebbled surface that stays cool and hides wear.
Stamped and colored
Flagstone, slate, wood-plank and cobble patterns with integral color and accent release.
Steps, seat walls and borders
Poured steps to the door, a seat wall along one edge, a contrasting border or a saw-cut pattern.
Fire-pit and hot-tub pads
Reinforced pads sized and placed for the equipment, poured with the patio or added to it.
What's in our estimate
Every estimate is written, itemized and free. For concrete patios it covers:
- Layout, excavation and a compacted gravel base
- Forms, reinforcement and a 4-inch slab sloped away from the house
- The finish you chose
- Control joints, sealing where the finish calls for it, and curing
- Steps, borders or pads if they are in the design
What moves the price
- Size and shape (curves cost a little more to form)
- The finish and any color or stamping
- Removing an old patio or deck
- Grading a sloped yard and handling drainage
- Backyard access: if the truck can't reach, we pump or wheelbarrow
- Steps, walls and borders
National price ranges, with sources, are in our cost guide. Your written estimate is the real number for your site.
Working in Georgia's weather
Our summers are hot enough to change how we schedule and cure a pour, and north Georgia gets enough freezing nights in winter that we plan cold-weather protection from December to February. Every city page shows the local numbers and what we do about them. Permits differ from one city or county to the next; we tell you which apply and pull them as part of the job.
Why homeowners choose us
A written estimate you can compare
Thickness, base depth, reinforcement and finish are spelled out line by line, so you can hold any other quote against it.
One call, then a date
We call back to confirm the details, usually the same business day, and book the visit at a time that suits you. No chasing.
Insured crews, permits pulled
General liability insurance on every job, the certificate with your estimate, and we pull the permits your city or county requires.
Frequently asked questions
Is a concrete patio cheaper than pavers?
+
Usually. Plain and simply finished concrete patios run about $5 to $11 per square foot nationally, while pavers run about $10 to $23 because each one is placed by hand. Stamped concrete gets you the paver look for less.
Does a patio need a permit?
+
Many ground-level patios don't, but rules differ by city and county, and a roof, a wall or drainage changes can trigger one. We check before we pour.
Can you pour a patio in July?
+
Yes. We start early, use a retarder when the day calls for it and get curing started right after finishing, so the surface doesn't dry too fast and crack.
What to have ready
None of it is required to send the request. It just makes the callback shorter and the estimate more accurate.

- Rough dimensions: pace it out, or size it with our concrete calculator
- What it's for: cars, a work truck, a hot tub, a shed, foot traffic
- A couple of photos of the area and the route a concrete truck would take
- Anything you've noticed about water: puddles, a downspout, a low corner
