Lakeland Patio FAQs
How much does a concrete patio cost?
Basic patios start around $8-12 per square foot. Stamped or decorative options range from $12-18+ per square foot. We provide free estimates based on your specific project.
How long until I can use my new patio?
You can walk on it after 24-48 hours. Wait 7 days before placing heavy furniture, and 28 days for full cure strength.
What size patio do I need?
A 10x12 patio works for small seating areas. For dining and entertaining, we recommend 12x16 or larger. We'll help you determine the right size during your consultation.
Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?
We add a non-slip additive to the sealer for stamped patios, especially in pool areas. Safety is always a priority.
