Concrete Patios in Palm Bay, FL

Concrete Patios · Palm Bay, FL

Concrete patios poured for Palm Bay backyards

A concrete patio is the simplest way to add usable space behind a Palm Bay home. We pour new patio slabs and extend the ones that came with the house. What holds up over time is the base under the slab and the steel inside it.

Most yards in Brevard County sit on sandy soil, and summer storms drop a lot of water fast. We grade every concrete patio to move that water away from the house. Free estimates come from looking at the actual job on site.

What goes into a new concrete patio

We mark the patio shape on the ground with paint before anything moves. Then we cut out the sod and dig the pad down to grade. Sandy soil drains well, but it still gets packed down before any concrete goes on it.

Forms go up next, set to the height and the slope we want. We set the reinforcement, then pour and screed the slab flat. Once the surface firms up we run the finish and cut the joints. The slab cures on its own from there.

Extending a patio or lanai you already have

Plenty of Palm Bay homes came with a small slab under the lanai. We pour an extension off that slab so the space fits a table and chairs. The new pour meets the old edge at a joint that lets both slabs move on their own.

New concrete will not match old concrete in color. The old slab has years of sun and dirt on it. We can lay out the saw cuts so the seam looks planned. You can also look at patio resurfacing to bring both slabs to one surface.

Walkways and grill pads around the patio

The patio is often one piece of a bigger plan. We pour walkways from the driveway to the back gate, wide enough for two people to pass. A grill pad off the patio edge keeps the cart and the cooler off wet grass.

Small pads also work under an air conditioner or a shed. Pouring them the same day as the patio costs less than a separate trip. We form the whole layout at once, then pour it in one pass.

Finish options for your concrete patio

Broom finish is the standard for a concrete patio in Florida. We drag a broom over the fresh surface to leave fine lines with grip. Smooth trowel looks cleaner, but it turns slick under bare feet when it rains.

Color and pattern are the upgrade path from there. Integral color mixes into the concrete, so the tone runs all the way through the slab. A pattern pressed into the wet surface is stamped concrete. For the look of separate units set on sand, see paver patios.

Slab thickness and reinforcement

Four inches is the normal thickness for a backyard patio slab. That carries patio furniture and foot traffic with room left over. We pour thicker where a hot tub or a vehicle will sit.

Reinforcement holds the slab together if it ever cracks. Wire mesh or rebar sits up in the middle of the pour, held off the dirt. We saw cut control joints within about a day so the slab cracks in straight lines.

How does a concrete patio drain in heavy summer rain?

A dead flat patio slab causes trouble here. Brevard storms drop inches of rain in an hour, and that water has to go somewhere. We build fall into the slab, roughly an eighth to a quarter inch per foot.

The fall runs away from the house and away from the lanai door. We also look at where the water lands once it leaves the slab. Sending it against a fence line or into a low spot only moves the problem.

Patios that work with a screened enclosure

Screen rooms are common in Brevard, and they change how the slab gets built. The enclosure anchors into the concrete, so the edge needs enough slab to hold the track. We keep the pour thick and clean along that edge.

Tell us before the pour if a screen enclosure might go up later. We can set the slab size and the finish so the frame lands on solid concrete. Planning for it now costs far less than cutting into a finished patio.

What drives concrete patio cost

Concrete patio contractors price by the job, and a few things move the number. Square footage comes first, then the shape. A plain rectangle forms up fast, while curves and steps take more form work. Extra thickness and a colored finish raise the number as well.

Access matters as much as size. A truck that can reach the back yard makes for a quick pour. Wheeling concrete through a side gate adds hours, and tearing out an old slab adds more. Every quote comes from looking at the actual job on site.

How much does a concrete patio cost in Palm Bay?
Plain broom finish patios in this market typically run around $8 to $15 per square foot installed. Color or a stamped pattern runs higher. Tearing out an old slab and tight back yard access move the number as well. We price each patio after seeing the job in person.
How long does a new concrete patio take?
Most backyard patios take one day of prep and one day to pour. A small pad can be done in a single day. You can walk on the slab after about a day. Furniture can go back after a few days, and full strength comes at about a month.
Can you extend the patio slab I already have?
Yes, we pour the new patio slab against the existing edge, with a joint between the two. That joint lets each slab move on its own. The new concrete will not match the old color. A saw cut pattern or a resurfaced top coat evens the look.
Will a new concrete patio crack?
Concrete shrinks as it cures, so fine cracks show up over time in any slab. A packed base and steel in the middle of the pour hold it together. We saw cut control joints within a day, which pulls the cracking into a line you barely see.
Can a screen enclosure go on the patio later?
Yes, and it is much easier when that is planned before the pour. Screen rooms bolt into the slab, so the edge has to be thick enough to hold the track. Tell us roughly where it might go and we will set the slab to suit it.
