Jensen Beach Concrete helps homeowners in Jensen Beach and nearby Martin County areas plan and pour concrete patios — open backyard patios, extensions off an existing lanai, and dedicated grill or seating pads. Homeowners usually take this on when the backyard has usable space but nowhere solid to put furniture, a grill, or shade structure footings. Call or send the quote form; patio dimensions are easy to pace off, which usually means a ballpark on the first call.
Patios look simple but the details decide whether the space works. Slope matters — a patio needs enough pitch to shed summer rain away from the house without feeling tilted. The connection to the house or lanai edge needs a proper joint so seasonal movement doesn't crack the new slab. And the finish should match the use: broom finish for wet-area traction, smooth trowel for a cleaner look under a covered extension. All of this gets settled at the layout stage, before forms go in.
The most common patio regret is pouring too small. A dining set needs roughly a 10-by-10 footprint to pull chairs out comfortably; adding a grill or seating area pushes most patios toward 12-by-16 or larger. Marking the proposed footprint with stakes or a garden hose and living with it for a weekend is the cheapest design test there is. Extending a patio later is possible, but a joint line and color difference come with it, so sizing generously up front usually pays off.
Size and finish drive most of the price. Beyond that, backyard access is the big variable in Jensen Beach — tight side yards and fenced lots common in established neighborhoods can mean the truck can't reach the pour site, which shifts the job to pumping or wheelbarrow work. Removing an old cracked patio adds demo. Details are on the cost factors page.
Describe the space and what you want to use it for. With rough dimensions, the first call usually produces a ballpark range; the on-site visit confirms access, grade, and the tie-in to the house before the final quote. If you're still deciding on size or finish, that conversation is part of the visit.
Yes — that's one of the most common patio projects in Martin County. The new pour butts against the existing slab with an expansion joint between them so the two can move independently. Expect a visible color difference at first; new concrete lightens toward the old slab's tone as it cures and weathers.
Broom finish is the practical default for open patios here — it stays grippy when summer rain or pool splash hits it. Smooth trowel finishes look cleaner but get slick when wet, so they're better suited to covered areas.
Light foot traffic is generally fine after a day or two, and furniture within about a week. Heavy items like large planters or a loaded grill island are better after the slab has had closer to a month to reach full strength. Exact guidance comes with the job.
