What we offer
Philadelphia Concrete Patios across Philadelphia.
Side-yard concrete slabs
The narrow strip alongside the house that was muddy or weedy. Concrete patio slab from foundation to fence line, finished clean, drained off the side toward the alley or rear yard.
Patio expansions
Existing concrete patio that’s too small? We extend it, clean expansion joint at the seam, edge-matched to the existing slab. The grown-out patio reads as one piece, not "the original patio plus an addition."
Patio replacement
Old patio cracked, settled, or pulling away from the foundation? Tear out, regrade the base, and pour fresh. Same day from sledge to broom-finish on most residential concrete patio replacements.
Hot tub & equipment pads
Hot tub, generator, AC condenser, shed-foundation pads, reinforced concrete slabs for heavy stationary equipment. Engineered for the weight, sized to spec, poured separately from the main patio if it makes sense.
Patio + walkway combos
The patio plus the path to it, back-door walkway tied into the patio with clean joints. We pour them together so the line from house to patio reads as one continuous concrete walkway.

“A short story…we needed someone who could do an emergency sidewalk repair in center city Philadelphia during the holidays! Impossible? Well, Marcello made it possible. He called back when he said he was going to call back. He showed up exactly when he said he'd show up. He arrived at our center city address, got out of his truck and fixed the problem. He really cared about getting it right. And…all that happened for a reasonable price. Personable, honest, man-of-his word. He's been added to my short list of trusted Philly vendors.”

FAQ
Philadelphia Concrete Patios questions, answered.
How long does a concrete patio last?
A properly poured concrete patio typically lasts 30+ years. The slab itself outlasts most of what you put on it. Failures come down to drainage (water under the slab), reinforcement (or lack of), and finish (improper cure).
We do all three right on every patio we pour.
Concrete patio vs. paver patio, which is better?
Different things. A concrete patio is one continuous slab, cheaper per sq ft, smoother surface for furniture, less maintenance over time. Pavers are individual stones, more visual interest, easier to repair single units, but more upfront cost.
If you want big open patio space and don’t mind a contemporary look, concrete is the better residential concrete contractor option. If you want decorative variety and traditional aesthetics, pavers may suit you, in which case we’ll refer you to a paver crew.
How long does a concrete patio pour take?
Most concrete patios wrap in 1–2 days on site, excavation and base prep day one, pour and finish day two. Foot traffic after 24–48 hours; furniture and full use after about a week.
What size patio do I need?
Depends on use. A 4-person dining setup needs about 12′×14′. A 6-seat patio with a grill setup wants 16′×18′ minimum. Hot tub adds 8′×8′ on top of that. We’ll lay it out with you on site so the slab fits the actual furniture you’re putting on it, not someone else’s standard.
Can the patio be poured against my house foundation?
Yes, we tool a clean expansion joint at the foundation and pitch the patio away so water sheds off the back edge, not into the basement. The joint plus the proper slope is what keeps a back-of-house concrete patio from becoming a foundation problem.
How much does a concrete patio cost in Philadelphia?
Cost depends on size, access to the back yard, whether base prep is significant (rocky soil, drainage problems), and finish. We don’t publish square-foot pricing because cheap concrete patio companies do that and it’s how they sneak surcharges into the final bill.
