The Practical Choice for
St. George Patios

St. George's outdoor lifestyle is one of the reasons people move here — and a concrete patio gives you a usable, low-maintenance surface to actually enjoy it. Pavers shift and settle. Wood decks need ongoing treatment in UV heat. A concrete patio stays put, handles foot traffic, and doesn't require annual refinishing.

For decorative patios in St. George, stamped and colored concrete delivers the visual appeal of stone or brick without the long-term maintenance headaches. The concrete is poured as a monolithic slab — no gaps for weeds, no individual pieces to settle unevenly.

  • No weed growth through joints like with pavers
  • No shifting, settling, or re-leveling over time
  • UV-stable coloring won't fade like stained wood
  • Wide range of decorative finishes: stamped, colored, exposed aggregate
  • Clean, level surface for outdoor furniture and grills
  • 25–40 year lifespan with routine sealing

Patio Finishes We Offer
in St. George

The right finish depends on your budget, how you'll use the space, and the look you're after. We'll walk you through the options during the estimate.

Broom Finish

Clean, practical, and the most affordable. A dragged texture provides slip resistance for outdoor use in all weather. Works on any patio size or shape.

Stamped Concrete

Patterns pressed into the wet slab mimic stone, slate, brick, or wood plank. The most requested decorative patio option in St. George — high visual impact, single poured slab.

Integral Color

Pigment blended throughout the mix — not a surface coating. Hundreds of color options, UV-stable, and won't peel or chip. Popular paired with stamped patterns for St. George decorative concrete patios.

Exposed Aggregate

Surface paste washed away to reveal the natural stone inside the mix. Excellent slip resistance — ideal for pool decks, high-traffic patios, and areas exposed to moisture.

Salt Finish

Rock salt pressed in and removed before set creates a pitted, organic-looking texture. Subtle, natural appearance with good slip resistance at a lower cost than stamped options.

Smooth / Trowel Finish

A flat, sleek surface popular in modern and contemporary home designs. Lower slip resistance than textured options — best for covered patios or areas with minimal wet exposure.

Concrete Patios in
St. George — FAQ

How much does a concrete patio cost in St. George, UT?

Plain broom finish patios in St. George typically run $6–$9 per square foot installed. Stamped and colored decorative concrete patios run $10–$18 per square foot depending on pattern complexity, color, and site preparation needed. A 400 sq ft patio might run $2,400–$7,200 for plain work, or $4,000–$7,200+ for decorative. Call 801-640-1788 for an on-site estimate.

How long does a concrete patio last in Southern Utah?

A properly installed and sealed concrete patio in St. George should last 25–40 years. The UV exposure is intense here, so sealing every 3–5 years is important — especially for stamped and colored patios where it preserves both the finish and the color. Cracking is normal over time; control joints manage where it happens.

Can you pour stamped concrete patios in St. George's summer heat?

Yes — but stamping requires precise timing. In summer, we pour early morning and work efficiently because the concrete reaches the right stiffness for stamping faster in heat. Done right, you get a clean imprint. Done sloppy, the pattern smears or the surface is too stiff to stamp. Experience with Southern Utah's climate matters here.

What size and shape patio can you pour?

Any shape — rectangular, curved, L-shaped, freeform, or custom to match your yard layout. We set forms to your exact dimensions. Larger patios are broken into sections with control joints to manage cracking predictably.

What's the difference between integral color and a concrete stain?

Integral color is mixed into the concrete before pouring — the color goes all the way through the slab. If the surface chips, the color is still there. Stains are applied to the surface after curing and can fade or wear in high-traffic areas exposed to UV. We use integral color for most colored concrete patios in St. George because it's more durable.

Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in St. George?

Most residential backyard concrete patios in St. George City don't require a building permit. If you're adding a covered patio structure — a pergola, awning, or attached roof — that typically does require a permit. We'll help you understand the local requirements for your specific project before work starts.
