Concrete Patio FAQ

How long does a concrete patio last?

A properly installed concrete patio can last 25–50 years. Regular sealing every 2–3 years and prompt repair of cracks will maximize its lifespan.

Can I pour concrete over an existing patio?

In some cases, yes — you can pour a concrete overlay over an existing concrete or masonry patio if the base is structurally sound and level. This costs less than full demolition and replacement.
