Concrete Patio Installation in Ann Arbor

A patio is where you grill, eat outside and sit with friends on summer nights, so it has to drain well, stay level and hold up to Michigan winters. Concrete Contractor Ann Arbor designs and pours new concrete patios and replaces cracked, sunken ones for homes across Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County.

  • Backyard patios: square, rectangular or curved slabs sized for your table, grill and seating.
  • Patio replacement: tear-out of old, cracked or heaved concrete and pavers, then a new slab.
  • Stamped and colored patios: the look of slate, stone or brick at a lower cost.
  • Exposed aggregate patios: a textured, slip-resistant stone finish.
  • Patios under decks and porches: clean, dry ground cover that stops weeds and mud.
  • Fire pit, hot tub and grill pads: thicker, reinforced slabs for heavy loads.

How We Build It

How We Build a Patio That Lasts

Most failed patios in Ann Arbor come down to a soft base, poor drainage and freeze-thaw. Here is how we prevent that:

  • Layout and drainage plan with the slab sloped away from your house so water never runs toward the foundation.
  • Excavation and tear-out of grass, soil or the old patio, hauled away.
  • Compacted crushed stone base, 4 to 6 inches, so the slab does not sink or heave.
  • Forms and reinforcement, with rebar or wire mesh set before the pour.
  • Air-entrained concrete, about 4 inches thick, thicker under hot tubs and fire pits.
  • Your choice of finish and control joints, then curing and an optional sealer.

Adding a path to the patio? See our sidewalk and walkway services. We can form and pour both on the same visit.

FAQ

Concrete Patio FAQs

How much does a concrete patio cost in Ann Arbor?

A standard broom finish concrete patio usually runs about $8–$14 per square foot. Stamped or colored concrete is about $13–$18 per square foot. Tear-out of an old patio, steps, curves, thicker hot tub pads and hard-to-reach backyards add to the price. We give you an exact written quote after a free on-site visit.

How long until I can use my new patio?

You can walk on it after 24 to 48 hours and put patio furniture on it after about 3 to 7 days. Wait about 28 days before setting a hot tub or other heavy loads on it, when the concrete reaches full strength.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

Most residential patios are 4 inches thick over a compacted stone base. Pads for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens or heavy fire features are usually 5 to 6 inches with extra reinforcement.

Can you pour a new patio over my old one?

Sometimes, but we rarely recommend it. If the old slab is cracked or sinking, those problems come through the new concrete, and the extra height can cause drainage and door threshold issues. In most cases we tear out the old patio and start with a fresh base.

Should I seal my concrete patio?

Sealing is optional for broom finish concrete but helps it resist stains and road salt. Stamped and colored patios should be sealed after curing and resealed every 2 to 3 years to keep the color rich.

Do I need a permit for a patio in Ann Arbor?

A patio poured at ground level usually does not need a building permit, but raised patios, work near property lines or changes to drainage can. We check the requirements for your address before we start.
