What Does a Concrete Patio Cost?

Understanding the factors that determine what your patio will cost in the Tri-Cities area.

Patio Cost Isn't One Number

Like driveways, patio cost depends on your specific site — not a national average. The terrain, soil conditions, and drainage requirements in Northeast Tennessee make every backyard different.

Key Cost Factors

Size

Bigger patios cost more total, but typically less per square foot. Our minimum is 300 square feet.

Drainage

A patio needs to slope away from your house to prevent water pooling against your foundation. Steeper lots or poor existing drainage may require more grading work.

Access

Backyard access matters. If a concrete truck can't reach the pour site, a pump truck may be needed, which adds cost.

Existing Surface

Pouring on prepared ground is simpler than removing an old patio, pulling up landscaping, or dealing with tree roots.

Ground Conditions

Clay soil (common in the Tri-Cities) may need additional base preparation compared to well-draining soil.

Shape

A simple rectangle is more efficient to form and pour than complex shapes with curves or multiple angles.

Thickness

Standard patio thickness is typically 4 inches. Areas that will support heavy furniture, hot tubs, or equipment may need additional thickness.
