How much does a new concrete patio cost in Oromocto NB?

A new concrete patio in Oromocto, NB typically costs $10 to $18 per square foot for a standard broom-finish installation, putting a typical 200 to 300 square foot patio in the $2,000 to $5,400 range fully installed.

Oromocto is a smaller community near Fredericton, and pricing generally follows the Fredericton market with a modest premium for travel if the contractor is based in Fredericton proper. The Saint John River valley location means spring flooding is a consideration — if your patio site is in a low-lying area, proper grading and drainage are essential.

Here is what drives the cost of your specific project. The base price per square foot covers excavation of 6 to 8 inches to remove topsoil and organic material, installation of a compacted granular gravel base (typically 4 to 6 inches of crusher run), forming the perimeter with lumber, pouring air-entrained concrete at 4 to 5 inches thick, screeding and floating the surface, applying a broom finish, and cutting control joints. The concrete mix itself — air-entrained 25 to 32 MPa — runs $190 to $240 per cubic yard delivered. A 300 square foot patio at 4 inches thick needs roughly 4 cubic yards of concrete.

Size affects cost per square foot. Smaller patios (under 150 square feet) often come in at the higher end of the range — $15 to $18 per square foot — because mobilization costs (travel, equipment, setup) are spread over fewer square feet. Larger patios (400+ square feet) can come in at $10 to $14 per square foot as those fixed costs get diluted.

Finishing choices add cost. A broom finish is the base price. If you want a brushed or exposed aggregate finish, add $2 to $4 per square foot. Stamped concrete — which looks like stone, brick, or wood — adds $4 to $8 per square foot over the base price, putting a stamped patio at $14 to $26 per square foot. Colour (integral pigment or surface-applied colour hardener) adds $3 to $6 per square foot.

Additional items to budget for: removal of an existing patio or surface runs $2 to $5 per square foot. If the site needs significant grading or if there is poor drainage to correct, excavation costs increase. Sealing the finished patio (highly recommended in NB) adds $1 to $3 per square foot and should be done annually or every second year.
