Costs vary by material and scope. Concrete patios range $3,000–$7,000, paver patios $4,000–$9,000, stamped concrete $4,500–$8,500, and driveways $3,500–$8,000. Custom designs and drainage systems increase costs. Local contractors provide accurate quotes after site assessment.
Late spring through early fall is ideal. Temperatures allow concrete to cure properly, ground isn't frozen, and drainage preparation is easier. Avoid winter or wet conditions, which delay installation and cause improper curing.
Most residential patio and concrete projects don't require permits. Retaining walls over certain heights or significant grading may need Town of Aurora approval. Experienced contractors advise on local requirements and ensure compliance.
Correct preparation includes site assessment, proper grading for drainage, soil compaction, and a quality 4–6 inch gravel or sand subbase. This prevents settling, cracking, and water pooling. Aurora's clay soil requires careful preparation for long-term durability.
Concrete offers durability and affordability. Stamped concrete adds decorative appeal. Natural stone is elegant but higher maintenance. Pavers offer flexibility and aesthetic options. Local contractors recommend materials based on climate, soil, budget, and style.
Seal concrete and pavers every 2–3 years, maintain proper drainage, clear debris, use appropriate de-icing products in winter, and address minor cracks early. Regular maintenance extends lifespan and prevents costly repairs.
Properly installed concrete patios and driveways last 25–40 years, paver patios 20–30 years, and stamped concrete 20–35 years with proper sealing and maintenance. Regular care extends lifespan significantly.
