Concrete patio contractors in Savannah, GA
Backyard patios, pool surrounds, grill pads and courtyard slabs, sized to how you use the space and finished to stay cooler and grippier through a long Savannah summer.
On Savannah ground
A Savannah patio gets used nine or ten months of the year, and it gets about 48 inches of rain. So two things matter more here than the pattern: where the water goes, and how the surface feels in July. We slope every patio away from the house, keep the top below the door threshold and the siding, and steer you toward lighter colors and textured finishes that stay cooler and don't turn slick. Under live oaks we plan the edge around the root zone instead of cutting through it.
How we do it
- 1
Lay it out with you
We mark the outline on the grass, check it against doors, steps, downspouts and furniture, and adjust it before anything is ordered.
- 2
Excavate and base
Sod and topsoil come out. A compacted aggregate base goes in, thicker where the yard is low or stays wet.
- 3
Forms and steel
Forms set the shape, including curves. Mesh or rebar goes in, plus thickened pads where a hot tub, kitchen or pergola post will sit.
- 4
Pour early
In warm months we pour first thing in the morning, so finishing is done before the heat of the day.
- 5
Finish and seal
Broom, salt, exposed aggregate, stamped or shell-seeded. Decorative finishes are sealed once the slab has cured.
- 6
Cure
Light foot traffic in a day or two, furniture after a few days. We tell you when.
Options and finishes
Broom or salt finish
Simple, affordable and slip-resistant. A salt finish adds a light pitted texture that suits pool decks.
Shell-seeded (tabby-style) finish
Oyster shell pressed into the surface and exposed, in the tradition of coastal Georgia tabby. A natural match for Lowcountry houses.
Stamped patterns
Slate, flagstone, brick or wood-plank textures with color. Details on our stamped concrete page.
Borders and bands
A contrasting border or sawcut pattern that dresses up a plain slab at a modest cost.
Built for what goes on it
Thickened sections and footings for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and screened-porch posts.

- Layout, excavation and base
- Forms, reinforcement and the pour
- The finish you chose, with joints planned
- Sealing for decorative finishes

What moves the price
- Size and shape; curves take more forming
- The finish, and whether it's sealed
- Drainage work and how much base the yard needs
- Access to the back yard for equipment and the concrete
- Extras such as steps, seat walls or footings
We don't publish Savannah prices: the site decides them, so we measure first. Where this page quotes a figure it is a national range from a named source, listed at the bottom.

Frequently asked questions
What does a concrete patio cost?
+
National ranges from ConcreteNetwork: about $5 to $8 per square foot for a plain broom finish, $8 to $11 for a simple decorative design, $11 to $18 for custom work and $18 and up for elaborate patios. We price yours in writing after we see the yard.
Will a concrete patio be too hot to walk on?
+
Dark, smooth concrete in full sun gets hot. Light colors, a broom or salt texture and some shade make a real difference, and we'll tell you honestly which finishes run warm.
Can you pour over my old patio?
+
Only if the old slab is sound and the added height works at the door. Usually it's better to remove it and build the base properly.
Do I need a permit for a patio?
+
A simple ground-level patio often doesn't, but a slab that carries a roof, a screened room or a wall usually does, and homes in Savannah's local historic districts can need design review. We check before we price.
What to have ready
None of it is required to send the request. It just makes the callback shorter and the estimate more accurate.
- The property address, so we can check the permit office and get the right crew
- Rough dimensions: pace it out or measure the longest and widest points
- What it's for: cars, a work truck, a hot tub, a shed, foot traffic
- A couple of photos of the area and the route a concrete truck would take
- Anything you've noticed about water: puddles, a downspout, a low corner
- When you'd like it done
