Cost overview

Concrete patio pricing in the Prescott area

Concrete patios in Prescott, AZ typically run $7–$22 per square foot in 2026. The finish is the biggest driver: a simple broom-finish pour comes in at the low end, and a stamped, colored, and sealed patio anchors the high end. Because patios sit against your house, drainage and control-joint layout matter more than they do on driveways. A patio that traps water against your foundation is a bigger problem than one that cracks.

Pricing tiers

Broom finish (basic)

$7 – $10 / sq ft

Standard 4-inch pour with mesh or rebar, broom texture. Perfect for a clean, functional patio under a covered porch or shade structure.

Salt or trowel finish

$9 – $12 / sq ft

Rock salt cast finish or hand-troweled smooth. Slightly more refined than broom, still cost-effective.

Colored or acid-stained

$11 – $15 / sq ft

Integral color or acid stain applied after cure. Adds character without stamping cost.

Exposed aggregate

$12 – $16 / sq ft

Surface washed to expose decorative aggregate. Very slip-resistant — great around pools.

Stamped & sealed

$16 – $22 / sq ft

Full stamped and colored patio, sealed for UV protection. See our stamped concrete cost guide for detail.

What affects your total

Patio size
Under 200 sq ft carries a small-pour minimum on delivery. Larger patios (400+ sq ft) get a better rate per square foot.
Foundation tie-in
Bonded (doweled) vs. isolated (with expansion joint against the house). Isolation is our default in Prescott to prevent freeze-thaw damage to the foundation.
Slope & drainage
A minimum 1/4 inch per foot slope away from the house is required. Retaining or raised patios add cost for form work and fill.
Access
Backyard patios sometimes need a concrete pump if the truck can't reach — an added line item of $500–$1,200.
Prep work
Existing pavers, decking, or old concrete requires demo before pour.

We build every Prescott patio to shed monsoon rain away from the foundation, with control joints in a pattern that hides cracks and doubles as a design feature. Base is compacted decomposed granite or 3/4" gravel — never native soil directly under the slab. Expanding a patio? A doweled expansion is possible but rarely worth it — the cold joint always shows and often cracks. In most cases we'd rather pour the whole slab fresh so you get one continuous surface.

FAQ

Concrete patio cost questions

How much does a 400 sq ft concrete patio cost in Prescott?

Roughly $3,200 – $7,200 depending on finish. Broom-finish sits near $3,200 – $4,000, colored or exposed aggregate $4,800 – $6,400, stamped $6,400 – $8,800.

Do I need a permit for a patio in Prescott?

Most residential patios under 200 sq ft and not attached to structural elements don't require a permit inside city limits — but rules vary by jurisdiction. We check for you as part of the estimate.

Should I add a covered structure at the same time?

If you plan to add a pergola or ramada later, tell us before we pour so we can set anchor bolts or post pockets in the wet concrete. Retrofitting later is expensive.
