Concrete Patio Cost Estimator for Florida Homes
Get an accurate concrete patio cost estimate by finish type — broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate — with current 2026 Florida pricing per square foot, delivered in 24–48 hours.
What a Concrete Patio Estimate Covers
A concrete patio estimate prices excavation, base preparation, forming, pouring, and finish work for a poured concrete patio, with the finish type — broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate — driving most of the cost difference. This estimator focuses specifically on poured concrete pricing by finish, distinct from our broader patio cost estimator, which compares concrete against pavers, natural stone, and bluestone.
2026 market data shows broom-finished concrete running $6-$13 per square foot, stamped concrete running $9-$30 per square foot depending on pattern complexity, and exposed aggregate running $7-$18 per square foot. Overall, concrete patios typically range $6-$20 per square foot, with a common 288 SF patio costing around $3,200 installed at roughly $11 per square foot.
Estimate Florida Consulting coordinates concrete patio estimates with our concrete driveway cost estimator for projects that need both scopes priced together.
Choosing a Finish: Broom, Stamped, or Exposed Aggregate
Broom finish is the most budget-friendly option and provides good slip resistance for pool decks and walkways. Stamped concrete costs more but replicates the look of natural stone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the price of the real material. Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stone within the concrete itself, offering both a natural look and excellent traction — a popular choice for Florida pool surrounds.
Broom Finish
The most budget-friendly finish with good slip resistance for outdoor areas.
Stamped Concrete
Decorative patterns mimicking natural stone, brick, or slate at a lower cost.
Exposed Aggregate
Decorative stone revealed within the concrete for a natural, textured look.
Pool Deck Surrounds
Slip-resistant concrete finishes commonly used around Florida pools.

What Affects Concrete Patio Cost in Florida
Finish Type
Broom finish costs the least, while complex stamped patterns and premium exposed aggregate mixes cost more.
Patio Size
Larger patios typically achieve a lower effective cost per square foot than small patios.
Reinforcement
Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement adds durability and cost, especially important on Florida's variable soil conditions.
Existing Surface Removal
Removing an old patio or slab before pouring new concrete adds demolition cost.
Site Access & Grading
Sloped yards or limited equipment access can add labor time for excavation and forming.
Coloring & Staining
Integral color, acid staining, or dye adds cost beyond a standard grey concrete finish.
Sealing
Sealant application protects the finish and is typically recommended for stamped and exposed aggregate surfaces.
Pool Deck Requirements
Pool-adjacent patios often require specific slip-resistance ratings that can affect finish choice and cost.

Pool Deck Slip Resistance
Florida pool codes and common practice favor broom finish or exposed aggregate for pool deck surrounds due to wet-surface traction.
Soil & Drainage Conditions
Florida's sandy soil and high water table in some areas make proper base preparation and drainage planning especially important.
Heat & UV Exposure
Lighter concrete colors and reflective finishes help keep patio surfaces cooler underfoot during Florida's hot months.
Hurricane Season Curing
Concrete pours scheduled during hurricane season should account for potential weather delays in curing time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete patios typically run $6-$20 per square foot depending on finish, with a common 288 SF patio costing around $3,200 for a broom finish.
Broom finish and exposed aggregate are the most popular choices for pool decks due to their slip resistance compared to smooth or heavily polished finishes.
Stamped concrete ($9-$30/SF) is often less expensive than paver patios, which typically run $10-$35 per square foot, while offering a similar decorative appearance.
Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement is commonly recommended given Florida's variable soil conditions and helps prevent cracking over time.
Concrete patios typically cure enough for light foot traffic within 24-48 hours, with full cure taking about 28 days; hurricane season weather can affect scheduling.
