Level enough for a table, sloped enough for rain
Owners live in about 82% of Chilton's occupied homes, the Census Bureau estimated from its 2020–2024 survey, though for a place this small the margin is very wide. Three details decide how well a patio serves the house.
Fall away from the house
Under the International Residential Code's grading rule, any hard surface within 10 feet of the foundation needs a slope of 2 percent or more running away from the house, and the soil should drop at least 6 inches across that same 10 feet.
A surface that grips
Outdoor patios get a broom texture after floating, for a non-slip surface, in the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's finishing guidance. Finishers shouldn't scatter water or dry cement over the surface to make it easier to work, the same guidance adds, since that causes dusting or scaling.
A slab that lasts
Placed concrete should be kept above 50°F, NRMCA says, and it cures best between 50°F and 80°F. A concrete patio typically lasts 30 years or more, and a good sealer every few years helps by keeping moisture out.
For a pattern pressed into the surface, see stamped patios; a patio that has dropped at one edge may be a case for slab leveling. More jobs are on our Chilton services page.

Stake the shape and the fall
The outline goes down and the slope away from the house is set before any digging.
Compact, form and place
The base is compacted, forms set to height and the concrete placed and floated.
Broom, cure, seal later
A broom texture goes on, curing follows, and sealer waits until the slab has cured.

Patio cost and thickness questions
What does a basic 20 by 20 concrete patio cost?
$1,600 to $4,800 as a 2025 national average.
How much can a permit add to the cost of a patio?
Where a building permit is required, $50 to $400 nationally (2025). Chilton has no city permit office, and we found no Falls County patio rule, so ask the county whether one applies.
Does an outdoor fireplace need a thicker patio slab?
It may. Patios are generally at least 4 inches thick; for something heavy, an outdoor concrete fireplace or a hot tub, thickening to 5 or 6 inches is worth considering.
