Concrete Patios

Create Your Ideal Outdoor Living Space

Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. A concrete patio gives you a solid, usable space where you can set up furniture, grill out, or just enjoy the weather. In Farmers Branch, we understand that outdoor living is important. With our mild climate most of the year, you can use your patio almost every day.

Concrete patios are practical and affordable. They cost less than pavers or natural stone but look just as good when done right. You can choose from many different finishes and colors to match your home. A stamped pattern can mimic expensive materials like brick or slate. Colored concrete adds character without breaking your budget.

We design and build patios that fit your lifestyle. Maybe you want a small sitting area off your back door. Or maybe you are thinking bigger, with room for a dining table, lounge chairs, and a fire pit. Whatever size you need, we make sure it is built to last. A properly installed patio will not crack, settle, or shift for decades.

Design Options That Match Your Style

One of the best things about concrete patios is how customizable they are. You are not stuck with boring gray concrete. Here is a look at the different options we offer to help you create something unique.

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete lets you get the look of high-end materials without the high-end price. We press patterns into the wet concrete to create textures that look like brick, stone, wood, or tile. You can choose from dozens of patterns and colors. The result is a patio that looks custom and expensive but costs much less than real stone or pavers. Plus, concrete is easier to maintain than those materials.

Colored and Stained Concrete

Add color directly into the concrete mix or apply stain after it cures. Integral color goes all the way through, so any chips or wear will not show. Acid stains create rich, variegated tones that look natural. You can even combine colors to create borders or patterns. The options are nearly endless.

Exposed Aggregate

This finish shows off the natural stones in the concrete mix. We wash away the top layer of cement to reveal the aggregate underneath. The result is a textured, slip-resistant surface with lots of visual interest. Exposed aggregate works great around pools or in areas where you need extra traction. If you are considering other outdoor projects, our concrete driveway services use similar techniques for a cohesive look throughout your property.

Built to Last Through Every Season

A patio is an investment in your home. You want it to look good and hold up year after year. That is why we focus on quality installation from the ground up. Here is what goes into building a patio that lasts.

• Site preparation: We excavate the area and make sure water drains away from your house. Poor drainage leads to problems down the road.
• Solid base: A thick layer of compacted gravel prevents settling. This step is critical in areas with clay soil like we have in North Texas.
• Proper thickness: We pour at least 4 inches of concrete for patios. This is thick enough to handle furniture, foot traffic, and weather without cracking.
• Reinforcement: Steel rebar or wire mesh adds strength and prevents cracks. This is especially important for larger patios.
• Control joints: These cuts guide any cracking that might occur as the concrete settles. They keep cracks small and hidden.

After installation, we seal your patio to protect it from stains and moisture. Resealing every few years keeps it looking fresh. With basic care, your concrete patio will stay beautiful for 20 to 30 years or more. Want to expand your outdoor living area? Consider adding concrete walkways to connect your patio to other parts of your yard. Get in touch to discuss your ideas and receive a free quote.
