FAQ's For Concrete Patios
What types of concrete patio work does BGW offer?
BGW designs and installs custom concrete patios, including standard poured concrete, stamped concrete, colored concrete, and integrated features like grill stations and outdoor dining areas.
What is stamped concrete and is it a good option for a patio?
Stamped concrete is poured concrete pressed with patterns that mimic stone, brick, or other materials. It offers a decorative look at a lower cost than natural stone, though it requires periodic sealing to maintain appearance and prevent cracking over time.
How long does a concrete patio last?
A properly installed and maintained concrete patio can last 25 to 50 years. Sealing, avoiding freeze/thaw damage, and addressing cracks promptly extend its life.
Can BGW integrate a concrete patio with other outdoor features like an outdoor kitchen or fire pit?
Yes. BGW designs outdoor spaces holistically. A concrete patio is often the foundation an outdoor kitchen, covered structure, or fire pit is built around.
Does a concrete patio require a permit in Hendricks County?
Permit requirements depend on scope and local ordinance. BGW coordinates permit needs as part of the project planning process.
How does concrete compare to pavers or natural stone for a patio?
Concrete is typically more affordable upfront and requires less maintenance than individual pavers, which can shift or develop weeds between joints. Pavers are easier to repair if one section cracks. BGW helps you weigh the tradeoffs based on your budget and priorities.

Can a concrete patio be added to an existing yard without major disruption?
In most cases, yes, though grading, drainage, and access for equipment need to be considered. BGW evaluates site conditions during the consultation.
What size patio do I need for outdoor dining and entertaining?
A common guideline is at least 12×12 feet for a small seating area and 16×18 or larger for dining plus lounging. BGW helps clients size their patio based on how they plan to use it.
Can BGW pour a concrete patio adjacent to or connected to an existing structure?
Yes, though connecting new concrete to existing concrete or a home’s foundation requires attention to expansion joints and drainage to prevent cracking or water intrusion.
How long does it take to install a concrete patio?
A straightforward patio can be poured in a day, but curing takes several days before the surface can bear full weight. Total project time including prep, pour, and finishing is typically one to two weeks for standard projects.
What should I budget for a concrete patio?
Concrete patios in central Indiana typically run about $8 to $25 per square foot, so most patios land between $5,000 and $20,000 depending on size and finish, with stamped and colored concrete costing more. BGW gives a firm number after a free consultation.
Will a concrete patio crack in Indiana winters?
Any concrete can crack, but proper installation is what prevents it. A correctly poured patio with the right base, control joints, thickness, and sealing stands up to Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles for decades. BGW installs and finishes patios to prevent the cracking that comes from cutting corners.
Can BGW resurface or repair an existing concrete patio?
Yes. If your slab is structurally sound but tired or stained, BGW can resurface it with a decorative overlay or repair sections rather than replacing the whole thing. If the slab has failed, we will tell you honestly when replacement is the better investment.
How much does stamped concrete cost versus regular?
Stamped concrete costs more than a standard broom-finish pour because of the forms, coloring, and labor, but it costs less than natural stone or pavers while mimicking that look. As a planning range, stamped work adds several dollars per square foot over standard concrete. BGW gives a firm number after seeing the space.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
For a standard residential patio, four inches of properly poured concrete over a compacted base is typical, with more thickness where heavier loads or an outdoor kitchen are planned. The base preparation matters as much as the thickness. BGW builds to last, not just to pass.
