Concrete Patio Cost Adelaide 2026 — Pricing by Size, Finish & Site

Intro — Adelaide's outdoor lifestyle means patios are one of our most popular projects

2026 pricing table by finish (broom / exposed aggregate / coloured / honed) × size (10 m², 20 m², 40 m², 60 m²)

What drives price variation

• Site access (narrow side gate vs open backyard)
• Soil class (Class M vs H1 — thicker sub-base)
• Steps/levels/drainage falls
• Pergola or roof structure integration

Finish comparison for patios

• Broom finish: clean, functional, affordable
• Exposed aggregate: popular — slip-resistant, hides furniture scratches
• Honed/polished: premium, suits contemporary homes, slippery when wet (not recommended near pools)

Alfresco vs patio — definition; both are covered slabs for outdoor entertaining

Council approval — patios generally don't need approval unless covered by a roof > 10 m²
