How much does a concrete patio cost in Arizona?
Concrete patio cost runs $4 to $12 per square foot for plain concrete in HomeGuide’s current national guide. That puts a basic 20x20 patio at $1,600 to $4,800, while stamped concrete runs $9 to $30 per square foot. Angi’s 2026 guide puts the national average at $3,556. A real number needs a look at your yard.
Two choices set most of a patio’s price: its size and its finish. A plain gray slab and a stamped one can land far apart in the same yard. DC Construction and Development builds concrete patios and walkways in Queen Creek and across the East Valley. That work covers new patios, extensions, wrap-around layouts and steps, sloped for monsoon drainage.
This plain-English guide uses published national ranges from HomeGuide and Angi. They are market numbers, not a quote, and your ground can move a real job either way. It covers price by size and finish, what sits inside the number, extensions, tear-outs and Arizona conditions. For driveways, slabs and walkways, see concrete cost per square foot in Arizona.
What does a concrete patio cost by size?
HomeGuide’s current guide prices a plain 10x10 concrete patio at $400 to $1,200 and a 30x30 at $3,600 to $10,800. Decorative finishes can double or triple the price per square foot, the guide says. Each figure below is a national range, not a quote.
Bigger patios cost less per square foot, thanks to economies of scale. Small ones can hit a contractor’s minimum project fee. Angi’s 2026 guide lists $600 to $1,600 for a 10x10 and $2,400 to $6,400 for a 20x20. Its $3,556 national average comes from 18,358 verified projects.

| Patio size | Square feet | Plain concrete | Stained or stamped |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 | 100 | $400 to $1,200 | $800 to $3,000 |
| 12x12 | 144 | $600 to $1,700 | $1,150 to $4,300 |
| 15x15 | 225 | $900 to $2,700 | $1,800 to $6,800 |
| 15x20 | 300 | $1,200 to $3,600 | $2,400 to $9,000 |
| 20x20 | 400 | $1,600 to $4,800 | $3,200 to $12,000 |
| 24x24 | 576 | $2,300 to $6,900 | $4,600 to $17,300 |
| 30x30 | 900 | $3,600 to $10,800 | $7,200 to $27,000 |
How much does the finish add per square foot?
Concrete patio cost per square foot climbs with the finish. HomeGuide’s current guide lists a plain trowel finish at $4 to $12 and a broom finish at $6 to $13. Exposed aggregate runs $7 to $18, and stamped concrete $9 to $30. A broom finish adds texture for slip resistance.
Angi’s 2026 guide runs lower, at $4 to $7 for broom or trowel and $5 to $15 for stamped designs. HomeGuide notes that integral color goes into the mix itself. Complex stamped patterns with several colors and borders cost the most. Our stamped and decorative concrete work covers stamped, integral color and exposed aggregate on new pours.
What goes into the price of a concrete patio?
Labor is the biggest share. HomeGuide’s current guide puts it at roughly 50 to 60 percent of the total, with materials making up the rest. Angi’s 2026 guide prices patio labor at $5 to $15 per square foot. Five parts of the job move a price within those ranges.
- Base prep: HomeGuide says poor drainage, slopes and rocky soil raise labor costs. Angi’s 2026 guide puts leveling or regrading hilly ground at $1,000 to $3,200.
- Thickness: 4 inches is standard. A 6 inch pour under a hot tub or outdoor kitchen adds material and labor.
- Steel: rebar or wire mesh adds $1 to $3 per square foot in HomeGuide’s guide.
- Shape: simple rectangles cost less than curved edges, multiple levels or custom forms.
- Access: a hard-to-reach yard adds cost, and a tight site may need a pump or wheelbarrows.
What does a patio extension cost?
HomeGuide’s current guide puts a concrete patio extension at $4 to $30 per square foot. That is the same range as a new patio. The added area still needs grading, plus a sand or gravel base below the concrete. So an extension prices like new work.
Our crew builds patio extensions and wrap-around layouts that tie into the slab you have. The new pour meets the old edge and keeps the slope running away from the house. A small add-on can still hit a minimum project fee. A patio that wraps a pool is a pool deck, covered on our concrete pool decks page.
What does tearing out an old patio add?
HomeGuide’s current removal guide puts concrete removal at $3 to $8 per square foot, including disposal. It prices removing a 20x20 patio at $1,200 to $3,000. Angi’s 2026 guide puts removing old concrete at $550 to $1,700 on average. That cost comes before the new pour.
Rebar raises removal by $1 to $3 per square foot in HomeGuide’s guide. Small removal jobs also cost more per square foot than large ones. Tearing out and replacing a slab runs $8 to $18 per square foot in the same guide. Old patio tear-out and replacement falls under our concrete repair and replacement service.
What moves the price of a patio in Arizona?
National guides price an average job, and East Valley conditions decide where a yard lands. Caliche and expansive clay can add base work, and monsoon storms call for a slope away from the house. A real number needs a look at the yard.
The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension calls caliche a common problem in southern Arizona soils. It is soil cemented together by calcium carbonate, in layers from a few inches to several feet thick. Solid caliche layers restrict water movement, and HomeGuide’s footing guide notes that clay soils expand and contract with moisture changes.
Monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30, and storm water has to run off fast. We work year-round, and in summer we start early to beat the heat. NASA measured Phoenix roads and sidewalks at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter on a June afternoon in 2024. That is why a light color and a textured finish matter on a patio you cross barefoot.
