Concrete Patio Cost in Burbank CA

Concrete patio cost in Burbank CA starts around $8 to $12 per square foot for a broom finish on a flat lot in 2026, rising to $12 to $20 for decorative finishes and $15 to $20 for stamped concrete. The rest of the price comes from size, how the truck reaches the backyard, the slope, and whether an old slab comes out first.

Concrete patio cost in Burbank CA by size and finish

Every figure on this page comes from one dated source, constructlytools' Los Angeles slab guide (published January 20, 2026, updated May 19, 2026), so the rows can be compared with each other. These are installed prices for the finished patio, before a permit or the removal of an old slab:

The guide's own patio line, $1,600 to $9,000 for 200 to 600 square feet, matches the broom-to-reinforced range ($8 to $15 a foot). For finish choices, see stamped concrete in Burbank; for the build itself, see concrete patios in Burbank.

The lot changes the rate

Burbank runs from flat valley streets west of the freeway to steep lots above Sunset Canyon Drive. The guide prices terrain separately:

Per square foot by lot, Los Angeles area, 2026

Lot	Rate	What changes
Flat valley lot	$8 to $12	Truck parks close, little grading
Moderate slope	$10 to $15	Grading, taller forms, maybe a pump
Steep hillside	$13 to $20+	Pump, hand work, often a wall or a soils report

Worked example

Three Burbank backyards priced from the same source

The same patio can cost twice as much on one lot as on another. The flat Magnolia Park replacement is mostly tear-out and a plain slab; the hillside patio pays for grading and a pump before the first yard of concrete goes down; the pool-side patio is driven by the stamped finish.

New 10 x 20 ft walk-out patio, broom, flat lot, no tear-out	$1,600 to $2,400
Replace a 16 x 20 ft patio in Magnolia Park: tear-out $448 to $736 plus broom slab $2,560 to $3,840	$3,008 to $4,576
20 x 20 ft stamped patio beside a pool, old slab removed: $560 to $920 plus $6,000 to $8,000	$6,560 to $8,920
12 x 20 ft patio on a hillside lot: moderate slope $2,400 to $3,600, grading $480 to $1,200, pump $500 to $900	$3,380 to $5,700

Ways to bring the price down

Use a broom finish on most of the slab and save stamping or color for a border or the seating area ($4 to $8 a foot saved on the plain part).
Bundle the tear-out with the new pour; the guide cites 10 to 18 percent off demolition when it's bundled.
Schedule between October and March, which the guide says can leave room to negotiate.
Keep the shape simple: straight edges form faster than curves.
If the backyard has a wide side gate or driveway access, say so; it can save the pump and the hand wheel-out.

What a written quote should list

Square footage, thickness, rebar size and spacing, base depth, the finish, where the control joints go, how the slab drains, tear-out and haul-off, the cure time before use, and whether a permit is included. California law also requires the contractor's license number on the contract.

What does a 12 x 12 concrete patio cost in Burbank?

A 144 square foot patio at the broom, flat-lot rate of $8 to $12 a foot is about $1,152 to $1,728. Small slabs often carry a minimum charge, though: the same Los Angeles guide lists a $1,200 to $1,800 mobilization minimum on small pads, so a tiny patio rarely costs less than that.

How much more is a stamped patio?

Stamped and colored concrete runs $15 to $20 a foot against $8 to $12 for broom, and the guide puts the saving from choosing broom at $4 to $8 per square foot. On a 320 square foot patio that is roughly $1,300 to $2,600 of difference. A stamped center with a broom border splits it.

Why does removing an old patio cost extra?

Breaking out, loading and hauling concrete is its own job: $1.40 to $2.30 per square foot in the Los Angeles guide, and $2.50 to $4.00 when it has to be wheeled out by hand from a backyard a truck can't reach. Bundling the tear-out with the new pour can bring it down; the guide cites 10 to 18 percent off when demolition is bundled.

Is the price per cubic yard of concrete the patio price?

No. Ready-mix delivered in Los Angeles runs $149 to $177 a cubic yard, and a 320 square foot, 4 inch patio needs about 4 yards, so the concrete itself is only around $600 to $700 of a $2,500 to $3,800 job. Labor, steel, base, forms, finishing and curing make up the rest.

Does a Burbank patio need a permit, and what does it cost?

A ground-level patio is flatwork like the walks and driveways on Burbank's permit exemption list (not more than 30 inches above grade, not over a basement, not part of an accessible route). When a permit is needed, the Los Angeles guide budgets $200 to $700. Burbank's own fee amounts are set by the City's fee resolution.

Why are Burbank prices above some national numbers?

Labor and materials cost more in Los Angeles County (the guide uses $32 to $55 an hour for finishers and $149 to $177 a yard for concrete), and it describes the Glendale and Burbank area as a foothills mix with some sloped lots and high contractor demand. Its Burbank-area driveway figure is $9 to $13 a foot on a flat lot.
