Get patio bids in Portland
Portland backyards earn their keep about five months a year, which makes the details matter: where the water goes when it rains, whether part of the patio should be covered, and what surface holds up to moss and shade. Post the project once and let verified contractors bid on your plan instead of pitching you theirs.
What to put in your patio post
- 01Rough dimensions, or a photo of the space with something for scale
- 02Surface you are leaning toward: pavers, poured concrete, or flagstone
- 03Whether the ground slopes, holds puddles, or stays soggy in winter
- 04Any cover, roof, or fire-pit plans, now or later
- 05What is there today (lawn, old concrete, gravel) and whether it needs demo
- 06How you will use it: dining, hot tub, play space
Patio questions, answered
Pavers or poured concrete for a Portland patio?
Both work here. Pavers cost more up front but handle roots and settling gracefully and can be lifted for repairs. Poured concrete is economical and clean-lined but cracks are forever. Describe your site and taste, and let the bids argue their case.
Does drainage really matter that much?
In this climate it is the difference between a patio and a pond. Good bids will address slope, base prep, and where runoff goes. If your yard puddles in January, say so in the post; it changes the right answer.
How many bids do I get?
Your call: 3 to 8, set when you post. Every bidder is license-verified against the Oregon CCB or Washington L&I registry before they can bid at all.
When should I post a patio project?
Earlier than you would think. Concrete and hardscape calendars fill up as soon as the rain breaks, and shoulder-season work often books at better rates. Winter posting for spring work is a legitimate move.
