That is why proper preparation, mix selection, and finish work matter as much as the design. The decisions before the pour shape whether your patio ages beautifully or fails.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Concrete patio projects raise questions about design, cost, timing, and long-term care. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most from homeowners across London Ontario.

  • How much does a concrete patio cost in London Ontario?

    Concrete patio cost depends on the size, shape, finish type, site conditions, and any features you want to include, such as multiple levels or integrated planters. A basic broom-finish concrete patio starts at a lower price point per square foot, while stamped, exposed aggregate, or decorative finishes involve additional material and labour. After we visit your property and understand your goals, we give you an accurate, itemized estimate that reflects your exact project.

  • How long does concrete patio installation take?

    A typical concrete patio installation takes between three and six days of active work, depending on the size, prep required, and finish type you choose. After the pour, the concrete needs curing time before you can use it. Light foot traffic is usually safe within a few days, and full strength takes up to twenty-eight days. We give you a complete timeline during your estimate so you can plan around your calendar.

  • What sizes and shapes of patios do you offer?

    We install patios in almost any size and shape, from small intimate spaces around ten by ten feet up to large multi-zone patios that span most of a backyard. Rectangular, curved, multi-level, and fully custom-shaped patios are all common projects for us. During your design consultation, we help you find the shape and dimensions that fit both your yard and how you actually plan to use the space.

  • Do you install stamped concrete patios?

    Yes. Stamped concrete is one of our most requested patio finishes because it gives you the look of natural stone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the cost. We work with a wide range of patterns, colours, and textures, so your stamped patio can complement your home's style rather than look like a generic template. We can walk you through the pattern and colour options during your design consultation.

  • How do I choose between a smooth finish and a decorative patio?

    It comes down to look, budget, and how you plan to use the space. A broom or smooth finish is affordable, low-maintenance, and works well for modern homes or spaces where outdoor furniture will carry the visual weight. A stamped, exposed aggregate, or coloured finish gives your patio a stronger visual identity from day one and works well when the patio is a focal point of the yard. We help you weigh both options during your consultation.

  • How long will my concrete patio last?

    A properly installed concrete patio can last thirty years or more with basic maintenance. Sealing your patio every few years, keeping harsh de-icing salts off the surface in winter, and addressing small issues before they grow all extend its useful life. Ontario winters do put stress on outdoor concrete, but proper base preparation, correct concrete mix design, and skilled finishing all play a major role in long-term durability.

  • What is the best time of year to install a concrete patio?

    Spring, summer, and early fall are the ideal seasons for concrete patio installation in Ontario. Warmer, drier weather allows for better curing and cleaner finishes, and it gives you the widest window to enjoy the patio in its first season. We can plan projects during the shoulder seasons when conditions allow. If you want your patio ready for summer entertaining, we recommend booking your consultation as early in the year as possible so we can lock in your date.

  • Can I install a heated concrete patio for use through Ontario winters?

    Yes. We install both electric and hydronic heating systems that can be integrated directly into a concrete patio slab, giving you a snow-free, ice-free outdoor space year-round. Heated patios are especially popular for homes with hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, or premium entertaining areas that you want to use through the winter months. If a heated patio interests you, we walk you through both system options during your consultation.

  • Why choose ESSES Concrete Group as your concrete patio contractor?

    Three things really. Our owner is on every job site, so quality and communication stay consistent through every stage of your project. We focus exclusively on concrete work and heated systems, which is why our patios finish better and last longer than what generalist contractors typically deliver. And we back every project with a one-year workmanship warranty, plus up to ten years of manufacturer coverage on any heated systems installed. Homeowners across London Ontario tell us the difference is obvious the moment we walk the space together.
