Concrete patios in Boulder
A concrete patio gives you a flat, low-maintenance outdoor space for a table, a grill or a fire pit. It can be plain, coloured or stamped, and it's often poured alongside a walkway or steps.

Boulder sees strong chinook winds, spring hail and quick swings between warm days and freezing nights.
Freeze-thaw cycles and spring hail are the main enemies of concrete in Boulder. Air-entrained concrete, good drainage and a sealer help it last.
Anything in the public right-of-way, like a driveway approach or the sidewalk, needs City of Boulder approval. A good contractor will handle the permit.
Common questions
Concrete or pavers?
Concrete usually costs less up front and has fewer joints for weeds. Pavers are easier to repair one section at a time.
Can a patio be extended later?
Yes. A contractor can tie new concrete into the old slab, though the colour may not match exactly.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Usually about a week for a car, longer for anything heavy. Your contractor will tell you for your mix and the weather.
