Concrete Patios for Redmond properties
A good patio starts at the back door: the height of the threshold, how many steps down, which way the yard falls, and where rain off the roof ends up. Get those right and a plain broom-finished slab will last decades. Get them wrong and even the nicest stamped pattern ends up with puddles, moss and cracks.
1970s through 2000s subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction around downtown and Overlake. We work across Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, Idylwood, Bear Creek, Willows/Rose Hill, Redmond Ridge and downtown.
New patios
A level outdoor room where the lawn or an old deck used to be.
Replacing old slabs
Cracked, sunken or tipped patios that send water toward the house.
Covered patios
Slabs under a roof or pergola, with posts and footings planned in.
Redmond conditions that affect your patio
Yards and access
Subdivision lots usually give decent access for trucks, which helps on driveways and patios. Back yards behind fences may still need a wheelbarrow route or pump.
Rain and drainage
Downspouts and yard drains that empty onto the driveway or patio are a common reason slabs settle and grow moss. We plan where water goes before we pour.
Slope and access
Education Hill and the hills around Overlake and Bear Creek have sloped lots and stepped back yards, which brings retaining walls and steps into many projects.
Details that help us price your patio in Redmond
You don’t need answers to all of these. They’re the questions that shape the design and the price.
Size and shape
Rough measurements or a sketch over a photo.
Door and steps
How far the door threshold is above the ground.
What’s there now
Lawn, old slab, pavers or a deck to remove.
Water
Where downspouts discharge and where the yard stays wet.
Access
Gate width and whether a truck can get near.
Finish and extras
Broom, aggregate, color or stamped; steps, seat walls or a fire pit.
Options to talk through
| Finish | Good for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Broom | Everyday patios on a budget | Best traction; plain look |
| Exposed aggregate | Wet, shaded yards | Textured and grippy; hides dirt |
| Integral color | A warmer look than gray | Color runs through the slab |
| Stamped | A stone or slate look | Reseal every few years; choose slip-resistant sealer |
Permits for concrete patios in Redmond
The residential building code used across Washington exempts most ground-level patios, walks and driveways from a building permit, but grading, drainage and work in the street right-of-way can still need permits. Redmond requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for work that modifies sidewalks and other right-of-way infrastructure. Redmond’s Development Services Center makes the call for your property, and we’ll tell you what we expect before you commit.

Typical market ranges, not a quote from Seattle Concrete Contractors. These are ranges other Seattle-area concrete contractors publish for this work (Seattle Concrete (seattleconcrete.com) service pages, checked November 2026). Your price depends on size, access, removal, base work, finish and permits, and on conditions at your Redmond property. We give a written quote after we understand the job.
Concrete Patios in Redmond: quick answers
How long does a new patio take?
Most patios take a few days of work: demolition and base, forming and pour, then curing time before furniture goes on it. Weather can stretch that.
What’s the best patio finish for a wet yard?
Exposed aggregate or a broom finish gives the most grip. Stamped looks great but needs a slip-resistant sealer.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Redmond?
Ground-level patios and walks are often exempt, but retaining walls over 4 ft from the bottom of the footing and anything in the right-of-way, such as sidewalks and driveway aprons, need permits. Redmond’s Development Services Center can confirm for your lot.
