Concrete Patios
Concrete Patios in Provo & Utah County, UT
A well-built concrete patio turns your backyard into livable outdoor space that holds up through Utah’s summers and winters for decades. Bedrock Concrete Pros designs, forms, and pours custom patios across Utah County and the Wasatch Front — from clean broom finishes to stamped and colored decorative concrete.
Concrete is one of the most popular patio materials in Utah County for good reason: it lasts, it handles temperature extremes, and it gives you a clean, low-maintenance surface for furniture, grills, fire pits, and everything else that makes a backyard usable. Whether you want a simple 12×16 slab off the back door or a multi-level entertaining space with stamped patterns and integral color, we build it right from the base up.
Concrete Patio Services We Offer
We handle the full scope of residential patio work, including:
- New concrete patio pours — custom-sized slabs formed and poured to your exact layout, with proper slope for drainage.
- Patio extensions & additions — expand an existing slab or add a second zone for dining, a hot tub pad, or a fire pit area.
- Broom-finish patios — the most popular choice: clean, slip-resistant, and built to last with minimal upkeep.
- Stamped & decorative concrete patios — patterns that mimic flagstone, slate, wood planks, or cobblestone with integral or broadcast color.
- Colored & stained concrete — integral pigments or acid stains that add depth and personality without a stamped pattern.
- Exposed-aggregate patios — a textured surface that reveals the natural stone in the mix for a durable, attractive look.
- Covered patio & pergola slabs — thicker, reinforced pours that support posts and structures.
- Patio demolition & replacement — removal of cracked or failing slabs and a fresh pour.
Why Concrete Holds Up in Utah’s Climate
Utah County sees real winters. Provo averages 30–35 freeze-thaw cycles per year, and the alkaline clay soils common along the Wasatch Front expand when wet and contract when dry — both of which stress a slab that wasn’t built correctly. Here is how we build for those conditions:
- Air-entrained 4,000 PSI concrete — the entrained air bubbles give freezing water room to expand inside the slab without spalling the surface. This is non-negotiable in Utah.
- Compacted road-base sub-base — we excavate to the right depth, add crushed road base, and compact it so the slab has a uniform, stable foundation. Skipping this step is the number-one cause of patio settling and cracking.
- Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement — keeps the slab together if cracking occurs and adds structural integrity for heavier loads like hot tubs or outdoor kitchens.
- Proper control joints — sawed or tooled at the right spacing so that normal shrinkage cracks occur in straight, inconspicuous lines instead of random patterns across the surface.
- Drainage slope — we pour every patio with a minimum 1/8” to 1/4” per foot of slope away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation.
After the concrete cures, we recommend sealing your patio within the first month and re-sealing every two to three years. Sealing is especially important for stamped or colored patios where a quality penetrating or film-forming sealer locks in the color and protects the surface from staining and moisture intrusion.
Patio Finish Options & Design Choices
One of the biggest advantages of concrete over pavers or wood decking is design flexibility. You choose the shape, size, finish, and color. Common patio finishes we install:
- Broom finish — the workhorse option. Brushed texture provides traction, sheds water, and gives a clean, uniform look that suits any home style. This is the most cost-effective finish.
- Stamped concrete — stamps applied while the concrete is still plastic create texture and pattern. Popular patterns include Ashlar slate, cobblestone, random flagstone, wood plank, and running bond brick. Pair with a color for a dramatic result. See our full stamped concrete page for details.
- Colored concrete — integral pigment mixed throughout the slab (not surface-applied) so the color goes all the way through. Browns, tans, charcoal, and terra cotta are popular in Utah County.
- Exposed aggregate — a retarder is applied to the surface, then the paste is washed away to reveal the natural gravel in the mix. Durable and slip-resistant, with a natural stone look.

How Much Does a Concrete Patio Cost in Utah?
Patio pricing varies significantly based on size, finish, site conditions, and whether any existing concrete needs to be removed. Here are typical installed price ranges for Utah County homeowners:
All prices are estimated Utah County ranges for planning purposes only. Final cost depends on square footage, finish, sub-base conditions, access, and site-specific factors. Request a free estimate for your exact project.
A typical 300 sq ft broom-finish patio runs roughly $1,800–$3,900 installed. A 400 sq ft stamped and colored patio could run $5,600–$12,000 or more depending on the pattern and color complexity. Those are ballparks — your free estimate will give you an accurate number for your specific yard and goals. Read our blog post stamped vs. standard concrete patios to help decide which finish makes sense for you.
Patio Sizing, Layout & What Fits Your Backyard
Getting the size right matters. Too small and you’ll feel cramped; too large and you’re spending money on concrete you don’t use. Here are some common patio sizes and what fits comfortably on each:
- 10×10 to 10×16 (100–160 sq ft) — a functional starter patio for two chairs and a small table. Good for narrow side yards or a tight back space.
- 12×16 to 16×20 (192–320 sq ft) — seats a dining set of six comfortably. Room for a grill station off to one side. This is the most common size we pour.
- 20×20 and up (400+ sq ft) — full outdoor living space: dining, seating area, fire pit, and room to move. Consider zoning it with different levels or a stamped border to define areas.
Many Utah County homeowners also pair their patio with a pool deck if they have or are planning a pool, or extend the concrete out to a pathway that connects to the driveway or side yard. We can pour both in the same project to minimize labor and mobilization costs.

Concrete Patio FAQs
How long does a concrete patio last in Utah?
A properly installed concrete patio — poured on a compacted base with air-entrained concrete, proper control joints, and regular sealing — can last 25 to 50 years in Utah’s climate. The biggest threats are poor base prep, water that pools on or under the slab, and de-icing salts. Seal every two to three years, avoid rock salt, and address cracks early to maximize the lifespan.
How long before I can use my new patio?
You can walk on new concrete after about 24 hours, place lightweight furniture after about 72 hours, and put a full outdoor dining set on it after 7 days. Concrete reaches most of its strength at 28 days, so avoid dragging heavy planters or placing a hot tub on it until then. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your pour and the weather conditions.
Is stamped concrete worth the extra cost for a patio?
It depends on your priorities. Stamped concrete typically costs $5–$17 more per square foot than plain broom finish, but it can dramatically improve the look of your outdoor space. The pattern and color are built into the slab — not surface-applied — so they last. Stamped patios do require re-sealing every couple of years to maintain their appearance. Our blog post stamped vs. standard concrete patios walks through the trade-offs in detail.
Can you match an existing concrete slab when adding an extension?
Color is the hardest part to match exactly, since concrete ages and weathers differently than a fresh pour. For plain gray concrete, new additions will be close but likely show a seam. For colored or stamped work, we can use the same pigments and sealers, but a perfect match is rarely achievable. We’ll show you examples and set realistic expectations during the estimate.
Should I seal my new concrete patio?
Yes — sealing is one of the best investments you can make in a concrete patio. A quality sealer prevents moisture penetration, reduces staining, slows efflorescence, and protects stamped or colored surfaces from UV fading. We recommend sealing within the first 30 days after the pour and re-sealing every two to three years. Learn more on our concrete sealing page.
Do you pour patios in winter in Utah?
Yes. Cold-weather concrete work requires extra precautions — insulated curing blankets, accelerators in the mix, and careful timing to avoid freezing during the curing period. We’ll advise you if waiting for warmer weather would produce a noticeably better result or save you money. For stamped and colored patios especially, moderate temperatures help with workability and color uniformity.
