Concrete Patios Missoula, MT

Concrete patio pricing depends on size, thickness, finish type, and site prep. A standard broom-finished patio costs less than a decorative stamped or stained patio. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what's included before any work begins.

We typically pour residential patios at 4 inches with a compacted gravel base and proper control joints. Montana's freeze-thaw cycles make the base preparation and joint spacing just as important as the slab thickness itself. Skipping either leads to premature cracking.

You can walk on the patio after about 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting 7 days before placing furniture and at least 28 days before any heavy use. Full cure strength is reached at 28 days.

Yes. We use isolation joints where new concrete meets an existing slab or foundation so the two can move independently without cracking. This is especially important in Missoula because of the seasonal ground movement we see here.

Late spring through early fall is ideal because of consistent temperatures. We can pour in colder months using blankets, heated enclosures, and accelerators when the project can't wait, but scheduling during the main season typically gives the best results and pricing.
