A Patio Built for
Desert Living

St. George has over 300 days of sunshine a year. A well-built concrete patio turns that into usable outdoor living space — a place to entertain, relax, and add real value to your home.

Concrete is the right material for this climate. It doesn't shift like pavers, doesn't splinter like wood, doesn't fade like composite decking, and doesn't require annual maintenance like asphalt. A properly poured concrete patio in Southern Utah can last 30+ years with nothing more than occasional sealing.

We build patios that handle the UV exposure, the heat, and the occasional cold snap without cracking — because we use the right mix, proper reinforcement, and control joints from the start.

  • No shifting or settling like individual pavers
  • UV and heat-stable in Southern Utah's climate
  • Multiple decorative finishes to match your home
  • Low maintenance — seal every 3–5 years
  • Adds measurable resale value to your property
  • Can accommodate outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergola footings
Concrete vs. Other Patio Materials
vs. Pavers
Pavers shift, settle, and grow weeds between joints. Concrete is one solid slab — no gaps, no movement, no annual re-leveling.
vs. Wood Decking
Wood warps, splinters, and rots in desert UV. Composite fades and gets expensive. Concrete ages well and costs less over time.
vs. Gravel
Gravel migrates, requires topping up, and provides a poor surface for furniture. Concrete is permanent, level, and clean.
Finish Options

Choose Your
Patio Finish

Every patio finish has a different look, feel, and price point. We'll walk you through the options and recommend what fits your home and budget best.

🪨

Exposed Aggregate

Natural stone texture revealed by washing the surface before final set. Slip-resistant, rugged, and looks excellent against Southern Utah's desert landscaping.

Most Popular in St. George
⬛

Stamped Concrete

Patterns pressed into fresh concrete mimic brick, flagstone, slate, or cobblestone. Combined with color, it's the most decorative option available.

Premium Look
🎨

Colored Concrete

Integral pigment mixed throughout the slab — not a surface coating that peels. Holds up in UV and matches a wide range of home exterior tones.

UV Stable
〰️

Broom Finish

Light brush texture for slip resistance and a clean, classic look. The most cost-effective option — works on any home style.

Best Value
✦

Salt Finish

Rock salt pressed into the surface and washed away creates subtle pitting — a naturally textured look with good slip resistance at a lower cost than stamped.

Unique Texture
◻️

Smooth / Trowel

A flat, polished surface — sleek and modern. Best for covered patios or areas with furniture where a flat surface is preferable. Less grip than broom finish.

Common Questions

Concrete Patio
FAQ

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

Plain concrete patios in St. George typically run $5–$9 per square foot installed. Stamped or colored patios run $10–$18 per square foot depending on pattern complexity. A 300 sq ft plain patio runs roughly $1,500–$2,700; stamped in the same size is $3,000–$5,400. Call 801-640-1788 for a free on-site estimate.

What is the best concrete finish for a patio in Southern Utah?

Exposed aggregate and stamped concrete are the most popular in St. George. Exposed aggregate is naturally slip-resistant and looks excellent against desert landscaping — great for practical outdoor areas. Stamped concrete offers more design variety and can mimic stone, flagstone, or brick. Both hold up well in UV exposure and desert heat.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

Standard patios are poured at 4 inches thick with wire mesh or rebar reinforcement. Areas that need to support heavier loads — hot tubs, built-in outdoor kitchens, pergola footings — should go to 5–6 inches with rebar grid. We'll assess your plans and recommend accordingly.

How long does a concrete patio last in Southern Utah?

A well-built concrete patio in St. George should last 25–40 years with minimal maintenance. The desert climate at St. George's elevation is actually favorable — there's minimal freeze-thaw stress compared to higher elevations like Cedar City. Key factors are proper base prep, control joints every 8–10 feet, correct mix design, and sealing every 3–5 years.

Can you add a concrete patio to an existing home?

Yes — adding a patio to an existing home is one of our most common jobs. We handle all the grade work, form setting, and tie-in to existing structures like back door transitions. We can also demo and replace an existing cracked or damaged patio if you're starting over.

Do concrete patios crack in the desert heat?

Properly built patios with the right control joints, reinforcement, and mix design should not develop significant cracks. Control joints give the concrete a designated place to relieve stress from thermal expansion — without them, random cracking is almost inevitable. We always cut joints and use appropriate reinforcement. Summer pours are scheduled for early morning with evaporation retarder applied to prevent surface cracking.

Also install driveways and other concrete work?

Yes. Patios are one of many services — we also install concrete driveways, RV pads, garage slabs, sidewalks, foundations, and handle full concrete replacement. Call with your full project scope and we'll estimate everything together.
