How HomeMath prices a concrete patio

HomeMath multiplies the patio's area by a published installed price per square foot for the finish: plain or broom $5–$8; stamped, basic $10–$14; stamped, mid-range $14–$20; stamped, high-end $20 and up, from Concrete Network's patio and stamped concrete cost pages (read October 2026). It reads them as a 4 in slab and adds the concrete of any extra thickness at $160–$195 a cubic yard. A replacement adds the removal of an old patio of the same size at Fixr's $2–$4 per square foot, or $4–$6 with rebar or mesh; an extension prices the added area only. For a patio you pour yourself, the concrete is the volume with 10% waste, ordered in quarter yards at the ready-mix range, or counted in 80 lb bags. In metric, HomeMath converts meters and centimeters exactly (1 in = 2.54 cm) and shows the result in cubic meters, liters and square meters.

The published rules it uses: US customary units; metric conversion; premixed bag yields; published price ranges; removal, weight and hauling. Their sources, and how HomeMath tests every result, are on the about page.

To price it at your supplier's own prices, use the concrete cost calculator; for a patio on a gravel base, the concrete pad calculator adds the gravel. A poured patio falls slightly away from the house: the patio slope calculator gives the drop for its size.

How much more does a stamped patio cost?

Stamped concrete is pressed with patterned mats, often with color, to look like stone, brick or slate. Concrete Network prices it in three levels: basic at $10–$14 per sq ft (one pattern, one color), mid-range at $14–$20 (borders, contrasting patterns, several colors) and high-end from $20 (several patterns and colors, scored designs, hand coloring). The 12 × 24 ft patio is $2,880–$4,032 in basic stamped against $1,440–$2,304 plain. To compare stamped quotes against plain and broom ones, use the concrete slab price calculator; for pavers instead of poured concrete, the paver cost calculator prices a patio installed.

What does a patio extension cost?

An extension is priced like a new patio of the size you add: pick Extend and enter only the new part. A 10 × 12 ft extension is $600–$960 plain. Ask the contractor:

Whether the new part can match the old patio's color, finish and height
Whether a small job carries a minimum charge

What does a patio cost in metric?

Switch the units to metric and the calculator takes meters and centimeters and shows the prices per square meter, the same US ranges converted: plain $53.82–$86.11 per m², basic stamped $108–$151 per m², and ready-mix $209–$255 a cubic meter. A 4 × 7 m patio 10 cm thick is $1,507–$2,411 plain and takes 3.25 m³ of concrete.

What changes a patio quote?

The estimate is the national range for the finish. A quote moves with these, so ask for them as separate lines:

Removing the old patio, or grading the ground for a new one
Access: a backyard the truck can't reach needs a pump or a wheelbarrow crew
The gravel base, the thickness and the reinforcement
Steps, curves and borders, which take more hand work than open areas
Color, the stamp pattern and the sealer

Type each quote's total into the quote check to see its price per square foot next to the estimate.
