New Lenox homeowners love concrete patios for their low maintenance and versatility. Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and need annual staining, a concrete patio needs only occasional resealing. Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, colored concrete, or combine with a stamped border for a custom look that fits your budget.

Every concrete patio we pour in New Lenox starts with proper site preparation — excavation, grading for drainage, compacted gravel base, and rebar reinforcement. These steps are what separate a patio that lasts 25 years from one that cracks in the first winter. Bryan personally checks grade and base compaction before every pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a concrete patio cost?

Concrete patios range from $13 to $23 per square foot installed depending on finish. A 300 sqft broom-finish patio costs about $3,900–$4,800. Colored or exposed aggregate finishes cost more. Larger patios cost less per square foot.

What is the cheapest type of concrete patio?

A broom-finish concrete patio is the most affordable option at $13–$16 per square foot. It's slip-resistant, durable, and clean-looking. Adding integral color costs only $2–$4 more per square foot for a big visual upgrade.

Concrete patio vs wood deck — which is better?

Concrete patios last 25-30+ years with almost no maintenance, while wood decks last 10-15 years and need annual staining and sealing. Concrete also costs 30-50% less and is immune to rot, termites, and weather deterioration.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

A residential concrete patio should be a minimum of 4 inches thick, poured on a compacted gravel base with rebar reinforcement. We never pour thinner than 4 inches — it's the industry standard for longevity.

Do I need a permit for a concrete patio?

Most towns don't require a permit for a standard backyard patio. However, large patios (500+ sqft) or those connected to the house foundation may require one. We check with your local building department on every project.

How long does it take to pour a concrete patio?

Most concrete patio projects take 2-3 days — one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for forming and pouring, then sealer applied after the concrete cures.
