A concrete patio adds usable outdoor space and value to an Atlanta home without the upkeep of wood or the cost of natural stone. Here is what to expect on price.
Average concrete patio cost
A standard broom-finish concrete patio in the Atlanta area runs about $6 to $10 per square foot. A 300 square foot patio usually lands between $1,800 and $3,500. Decorative or stamped finishes raise the figure, while a basic slab keeps it low.
What affects patio cost
- Size and shape: larger and more complex shapes cost more.
- Finish: broom finish is most affordable; stamped, stained, and exposed aggregate cost more.
- Site prep: grading a slope or removing an old surface adds to the total.
- Add-ons: built-in steps, borders, or a fire-pit pad increase scope.
Why base prep matters on Georgia clay
Like any concrete, a patio is only as durable as the base beneath it. The clay soil across the metro shifts with moisture, so a compacted base and proper drainage are what keep the slab from cracking. We build every patio on a base designed to last, and we offer stamped and decorative options.
