“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How long does a concrete patio last?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What size should a concrete patio be?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A comfortable patio for a table and chairs is at least 12×12 feet (144 sq ft). For entertaining with multiple seating areas, 16×20 feet (320 sq ft) or larger is ideal. Your concrete contractor can help you determine the best size based on your yard layout and how you plan to use the space.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can you pour a concrete patio over an existing one?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “In some cases, yes — a thin overlay can be poured over an existing slab if the original is structurally sound and level. However, this is not always advisable, as it can create drainage issues and limits thickness. In most cases, removing the old slab and starting fresh produces better results.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Tennessee?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Permit requirements vary by city and county in Tennessee. In most residential areas, a simple patio slab does not require a permit. However, covered patios, pergolas, or structures attached to the home often do. Your contractor can advise you, and it’s always best to check with your local building department.”
