How Much does a Concrete Patio Cost?

In the Omaha, Nebraska area, the cost of a concrete patio typically ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for basic poured concrete, while decorative stamped concrete generally costs between $8 and $14 per square foot.

Total project estimates, which include labor and site preparation, vary by size:

• 12×12 patio (144 sq ft): $1,500 to $2,500
• 10×20 patio (200 sq ft): $2,200 to $4,000
• 20×20 patio (400 sq ft): $3,800 to $6,500
• 20×30 patio (600 sq ft): $5,500 to $9,500

Several local factors can influence these prices. Nebraska’s freeze-thaw cycles often require 42-inch deep footings to prevent frost heave, which can add $500 to $1,500 to the foundation costs. Other variables include municipal permits (typically $100 to $300), site grading for uneven terrain (potentially adding $1,000 or more), and 10-15% price increases during peak summer months. It is recommended to include a 10-20% budget buffer for unexpected site conditions like soil adjustments.
