Concrete Patios in Chapel Hill, NC
A poured concrete patio is the most economical way to add real outdoor living space to a Chapel Hill home, and on the flatter lots around Meadowmont, Chapel Hill North and parts of Southern Village it's usually the right call. We pour patios across Chapel Hill in broom, smooth, exposed aggregate and stamped finishes.
On Chapel Hill's steeper, more wooded lots we'll sometimes tell you a poured patio isn't the best answer. Where a slab has to sit against a real grade change, or where it would have to be poured over significant roots, pavers or a terraced approach will hold up better and we'd rather say that at the quote than replace a cracked slab in five years. Where a poured patio does make sense, we grade it to drain away from the house and joint it properly so any cracking lands where we put it.
What a Concrete Patio Project in Chapel Hill Looks Like
A typical Chapel Hill concrete patio is a 14x18 to 16x22 slab off the back of a home in Meadowmont or Chapel Hill North, poured with deliberate fall away from the foundation, finished broom or exposed aggregate, and stepped down into the yard where the grade needs it. One to two days to pour and finish once the site is prepped.

Concrete Patios in Chapel Hill: FAQs
Concrete or pavers for a Chapel Hill patio?+
Flat lot with no significant root pressure, concrete is the better value and installs faster. Sloped, heavily wooded, or where you want to terrace, pavers are worth the extra cost because they tolerate movement and can be repaired section by section. We'll look at your yard and give you a real recommendation, not just quote whatever you asked for.
How do you keep a patio from draining toward my house?+
We set fall into the pad deliberately, typically around a quarter inch per foot away from the foundation, and confirm where the water goes once it leaves the slab. On Chapel Hill's sloped lots that second part matters as much as the first, because moving water off the patio into a spot that already floods hasn't solved anything.
Does Chapel Hill limit how much patio I can add?+
It can. Chapel Hill pays closer attention to impervious surface and land disturbance than most towns nearby, and some lots and neighborhoods have their own limits on top of that. It rarely blocks a normal residential patio, but it's worth confirming before you design around a specific size, and we check it as part of the quote.
