Slope, joints and permits for a patio
Owners live in about 79% of Robinson's occupied homes, 3,232 of 4,094, by the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates.
Slope comes first: patios and other hard surfaces within 10 feet of a foundation should fall away from it at a 2% grade, by the Department of Energy's Building America guidance, and ENERGY STAR's new-homes program recommends at least 0.25 inch per foot. NRMCA also wants joint panels close to square, with the length kept within 1.5 times the width, and never L-shaped.
Flatwork such as a patio isn't on the City's Obtaining a Permit list, so check with the Permits and Inspections Department before pouring; what the list does cover is in the questions below.
A pressed pattern is covered under stamped concrete for Robinson patios, and a cracked old patio may only need concrete repair in Robinson. Our Robinson page has the other jobs.

Grade and form
Mark the footprint and the fall away from the house, then grade the ground and set the forms.
Pour and joint
The slab is placed and finished, and saw-cut joints go in 4 to 12 hours after finishing, or 1 to 4 hours for early-entry dry cuts, NRMCA says.
Cure
Curing starts right away, since a surface that dries before the concrete sets can open plastic shrinkage cracks; wind above 5 mph, dry air and heat all raise that risk.

Before you pour a patio
Does an outdoor kitchen or deck need a permit in Robinson?
Yes, on the City's Obtaining a Permit page. An outdoor kitchen needs a Residential Dwelling application permit, and a deck needs a permit once it is greater than 200 square feet in area or over 30 inches high.
Do synthetic fibers help a patio slab?
They help with early cracking. NRMCA says synthetic fibers cut down on plastic shrinkage and settlement cracks at the usual dose of 1 to 2 pounds per cubic yard, while macro-synthetic fibers, at around 5 pounds per cubic yard, are used for crack control once the concrete has hardened.
What does a typical backyard patio cost?
