Overview
What we do for patios
A patio is the most-used hardscape on most San Diego homes. It's where the BBQ lives, where kids run between the sprinkler and the back door, and where you'll spend most of your fall evenings. We pour patios that handle that life — slip-resistant where you need it, smooth where you don't, and graded so water runs away from the house instead of pooling at the slider.
New patio, patio extension, fire-pit pad, or outdoor-kitchen base — we handle the layout, the prep, the pour, and the finish. We'll also work around your existing landscaping and irrigation so the project doesn't blow up the rest of the yard.

Our process
From first call to final walk-through
- 1
Walk and design
Ronnie walks the yard with you, talks dimensions, finishes, and how you'll use the space, then writes a fixed-price quote.
- 2
Prep and forms
Demo any existing slab, dig and compact the base, set forms to the right slope so water flows away from the house.
- 3
Pour and finish
Pour 3500-psi mix in a single day, then finish to your chosen texture before it sets.
- 4
Cure
Saw-cut control joints and let it cure 7 days before furniture, 14 days before heavy use.
Why Rose Concrete
Why hire us
We don't subcontract the finishing — which is the part that makes or breaks a stamped or stained patio. The same crew that grades and forms also pours and finishes, so the look you saw in the sample is the look you get on your slab.

Cost · Honest ranges
What does a concrete patio cost?
Concrete flatwork from Rose Concrete starts at $17.22 per square foot for plain broom finish. Stamped, stained, or exposed-aggregate finishes add to that baseline depending on pattern, color, and material spec.
Site prep (grass, pavers, demo), base import, reinforcement spec, finish choice, color, drainage planning, and any border or scoring detail each shape the final number. We give you a fixed-price written quote at the on-site walk so you see the math before you commit.
What affects cost:
- Total square footage
- Site prep (grass removal, demo, base import)
- Reinforcement spec (rebar vs fiber-mesh)
- Finish choice (broom is base; stamped, stained, or exposed adds)
- Color choice (integral pigment, surface stain, or both)
- Drainage planning (slope, channel drains)
- Border or scoring details
Quotes are fixed-price. No change orders unless the scope changes.

“We hired three contractors before Rose. Only one who actually walked the yard, talked through drainage, and showed up the day he said he would. Patio looks like the listing photos.”

“Ronnie poured our 600-square-foot driveway in two days and didn't leave a speck of mud on the grass. Quoted exactly what he charged. Crew that showed up was the same crew Ronnie said would show up.”
Sarah M. · Clairemont · Mar 2026

“Got a Safe Sidewalks Program notice in January, panicked. Ronnie walked us through the whole program, handled the paperwork, and our city contribution was honored. Done in 5 weeks.”

FAQ
Patios questions, answered
Stamped or broomed — which is better?
Broomed is the workhorse — slip-resistant, lower cost, classic look. Stamped looks like tile, slate, or wood-grain but costs more and the surface stain (if you choose surface stain over integral color) does fade over time. If the patio sits in full sun and you want a high-end look, stamped is great. If it's a workhorse for kids and pets, broomed is honest.
How long does a new patio take from quote to done?
Most patios are scheduled within 2 weeks of accepting the quote. The actual pour day is one day. Curing takes 7 days before furniture, 14 days before heavy use.
Can you match my existing patio's look?
Yes for finish texture (broom, smooth, etc). Color match on stained or stamped concrete is harder because old concrete has weathered — we'll get it close, but expect a visible seam. Most folks address that with a decorative score line where the old meets new.
What about my drainage?
We grade every patio with at least 1/4 inch per foot of slope away from your house. If your yard already has standing-water issues, we'll talk through french drains or a swale before we pour.
Can I add a fire pit or outdoor kitchen later?
Yes, but tell us during the quote — we'll thicken the slab and add extra rebar in those spots so the future weight doesn't crack the patio.
