Central Florida weather is made for outdoor living, and nothing anchors a backyard oasis better than a durable, low-maintenance concrete patio. Whether you picture a cozy fire-pit lounge or an alfresco dining zone, CountBricks turns that vision into reality—on budget and on time. Our AI-driven platform captures your ideas in real-time conversation, converts them into detailed takeoffs, and delivers a rock-solid estimate before the sun sets on your first design meeting.
• Year-round performance in heat, humidity, and sudden downpours
• Endless finishes—broom, stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate
• Lower lifecycle cost compared to wood or pavers
• High load capacity for outdoor kitchens, spas, and pergolas
Traditional estimating can take days of manual calculations. CountBricks compresses the process into minutes:
1. Voice Conversation: Speak with our AI estimator, outline size, shape, and finish.
2. Instant Takeoff: Upload a sketch or blueprint; our software auto-measures square footage, edge forms, and control-joint spacing.
3. Live Cost Feed: CountBricks pulls current Orlando concrete, rebar, and labor rates from our verified supplier network.
4. Transparent Estimate: You receive a line-item proposal that shows every yard of mix and every hour of finishing labor.
Site Prep
Florida’s sandy soils demand proper sub-base compaction. CountBricks crews add a crushed-stone layer and moisture barrier, preventing settlement and weed intrusions.
Drainage
We design a 1/8" per foot slope away from the house or integrate slot drains that tie into your existing storm system, keeping puddles off the surface and water out of your foundation.
Expansion & Control Joints
Thermal swings from afternoon heat to evening rainstorms cause concrete movement. CountBricks layouts include strategic joints every 8-10 feet to control cracking, preserving a seamless look.
Reinforcement Strategy
• 6x6 WWM for standard patios
• #3 rebar grid for high-load areas like outdoor kitchens
• Fiber-reinforced mix for added tensile strength without additional steel
• Broom Finish: Slip-resistant and budget-friendly
• Light Sandblast: Modern matte texture
• Integral Color with Stamped Slate Pattern: Mimics natural stone without the maintenance
• Acid Stain & Clear Sealer: Rich, variegated hues perfectly matched to Florida landscaping

When the Alvarez family wanted a 450 ft² entertainment hub overlooking their pool, they turned to CountBricks for clarity on cost and timeline. Within 12 minutes, our conversational AI captured dimensions, finish preferences, and lighting ideas, then produced a $9,350 estimate—accurate within 2 % of final billing.
Execution Highlights
• Integrated slot drains kept splash-water off the deck and away from the home’s slab.
• A stamped Ashlar pattern with charcoal release gave the look of quarried stone without individual paver maintenance.
• Conduit installed during the pour powered low-voltage step lights and a future outdoor kitchen, eliminating expensive core drilling later.
Project duration was nine calendar days, start to sealed. Daily photo reports through the CountBricks mobile dashboard let the family monitor progress while traveling for work. Post-completion, the Alvarezes used CountBricks’ maintenance reminders to schedule a reseal two years later, extending the patio’s vibrant color.
• Schedule pours before 10 a.m. to beat afternoon storms and reduce surface blemishes.
• Opt for integral color over topical stains when pets or chlorine splashes are factors.
• Add PVC sleeves beneath the slab for future gas or power lines; it costs pennies now and saves hundreds later.
