How long will a professional take to install a patio?

• <div><p>Most professionals will take two to three weeks to install a patio and return your yard to its previous condition. The timeline for your patio installation will depend on several factors, though, including landscaping features your installer needs to navigate around, the type of patio you’re having installed, and how long any add-ons, like outdoor kitchens, take to complete. The size of your patio will also play a role in how long it takes, so plan to keep pets and children out of your yard for longer if you’re installing an oversized patio.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can I put on my concrete patio?

• <div><p>A properly installed 6-inch concrete slab, mixed and cured under the right conditions, can support about 3,000 pounds concentrated over a single square foot without buckling. Conversely, concrete pavers can handle around 8,000 pounds per square inch when laid over a solid, well-compacted base. </p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete patio last on average?

• <div><p>A concrete patio lasts an average of 30 years, but the length of life you&rsquo;ll get from yours depends largely on the climate. In harsh conditions, including excessive rainfall and snowfall, a concrete patio may only last for 15 years. In a moderate climate and with non-expansive, supportive soil below, a concrete patio could last for up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: How much does a concrete patio cost to pour?

• <div><p>In most cases, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to pour a concrete patio</a> falls between $8 and $12 per square foot. For a typical 200-square-foot concrete patio, you&rsquo;re looking at an average price of between $1,600 and $2,400. Most concrete patios will be 4 inches thick, so thickness plays a minimal role in the price variance, but some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-finishes-for-patios.htm">types of concrete finishes</a> can cost up to $25 per square foot, which has a major impact on your total.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a concrete base for a pergola?

• <div><p>A concrete base&mdash;or concrete footings, more specifically&mdash;is necessary for a freestanding pergola build. A pergola is top-heavy and can&rsquo;t stand on its own, so it will always need some type of base or support. If you&rsquo;re attaching a pergola to a deck, the deck&rsquo;s supportive joists will act as the support, so there will be no concrete base or footings necessary.</p></div>
