How much is a concrete patio?

Question

Accepted Answer

A plain concrete patio costs $5–$9 per sq ft installed. A standard 12 × 14 patio runs $850–$1,500. Concrete patios in 2026 average $5–$9 per sq ft for a plain 4-inch broom-finished slab. The popular 12 × 14 ft patio (168 sq ft) costs $850–$1,500 installed.  Stamped or stained decorative patios start at $9 per sq ft and can exceed $20 per sq ft for premium textures and multi-color finishes.  Patios are simpler than driveways — they're thinner (4 in vs 6 in), don't need heavy reinforcement, and accept simpler edge forms. DIY is feasible for confident builders; expect about $1.75 per sq ft in materials for the slab plus another $0.50–$1 in form lumber.  Add-ons that change the budget: • Excavation and gravel base prep: $1–$3 per sq ft • Sloped or terraced design: +20–40% • Integrated steps: $200–$400 each • Stamped or stained finish: +$4–$10 per sq ft
