How Long Does a Concrete Patio Last in Birmingham's Climate?

A well-installed Concrete Patio in Birmingham can easily last 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even more, if it is poured correctly and maintained. Our hot, humid summers and the occasional freezes in Birmingham mean that the concrete needs to handle thermal expansion and contraction. GAE Concrete Co. uses the right concrete mix and control joints to manage these stresses on your Concrete Patio.

Birmingham's red clay soil is another important factor for Concrete Patios. This soil can expand and contract with moisture changes, and this puts pressure on any concrete slab.
