What's included in our patio installation

A concrete patio in Colorado Springs is more than a slab of gray on the ground, it has to slope, drain, joint, and cure correctly for our climate. Every patio we pour includes the full system, quoted as one number:

Excavation and grading to set elevation correctly relative to your house, doors, and yard drainage.
4–6" compacted Class 6 base, mechanically tamped.
Form work set to a positive 1/8" per foot slope away from the house.
Synthetic fiber reinforcement (or rebar grid for slabs over 400 sq ft).
4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete with 5–7% entrained air, the only mix that survives our freeze-thaw season.
Finish of choice, broom, salt, exposed aggregate, or stamped/colored.
Isolation joint between patio and house foundation.
Control joints sawcut within 12 hours, no more than 10 feet on center.
Curing compound or wet-cure applied immediately after finish.

Signs your patio is at end of life

If you have an existing patio you're thinking about replacing, here's how we typically evaluate it:

Cracks wider than 1/4" running across the slab
Sinking or settling more than 1", often a drainage failure under the slab
Tilting back toward the house (water pooling against the foundation)
Spalled, pitted surface from de-icers or sealer failure
Missing or non-existent control joints causing random cracking
Slab is under 3.5" thick or has no isolation joint at the house

If only one or two of those apply, our repair team can usually save you most of the cost.

Finish	Look	Slip resistance	Maintenance	Cost / sq ft

Pricing factors for Colorado Springs patios

Size and shape. Square and rectangular patios pour fastest and cheapest. Curves and step-downs add labor.
Access. Wheelbarrow access vs. pump truck, pumps add $400–$800 per pour.
Existing slab removal. Tear-out adds $2–$4 per square foot.
Site grading. If we're lifting elevation or adding retaining curbs, that's separate scope.
Finish. Broom is base price; stamped roughly doubles the per-foot cost.

Why choose us for your patio

We slope and joint every patio correctly the first time

The two reasons cheap patios fail in Colorado Springs are wrong slope (water runs back toward the house) and missing or late control joints (random cracking). Every patio we pour gets 1/8" per foot positive slope away from the house plus tooled or sawcut control joints inside the first 12 hours. Roughly 60% of repair calls we get on other contractors' patios trace to one of those two failures.

Front Range mix design, not Florida mix

We won't pour anything under 4,000 PSI with 5–7% air entrainment on an exterior slab here. That mix costs about 12% more than the cheapest local option but is what keeps the surface from spalling after five freeze-thaw seasons.

Free written estimates and 2-hour callback

You'll have a written quote in your inbox same-day or next morning. No $30 trip fee, no high-pressure follow-up calls. If we can't fit you in for 4+ weeks we'll tell you up front.

Patio FAQs

How much does a concrete patio cost in Colorado Springs?

Standard broom-finish patios run $8–$12 per square foot installed. Exposed aggregate runs $10–$15. Stamped and colored patios run $14–$22 per square foot. A typical 250 sq ft patio costs $2,000–$5,500 depending on finish.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

4 inches of 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete with fiber reinforcement, sloped 1/8 inch per foot away from the house. Anything thinner cracks in our freeze-thaw climate within a few seasons.

Can you pour a patio against my existing slab?

Yes. We install an isolation joint with foam expansion strip between the new and existing concrete so they can move independently. Without that joint the two slabs crack each other within a few freeze-thaw cycles.

What's the best concrete patio finish for Colorado?

Broom finish is the most durable and gives good traction in snow and ice. Exposed aggregate looks more upscale and also has excellent traction. Stamped concrete is beautiful but requires resealing every 2–3 years to hold up to our UV and freeze-thaw.
