Why Choose a Concrete Patio?

A concrete patio offers a superior combination of strength and style that other materials simply cannot match. Unlike wood, which rots or pavers that can shift and allow weeds to grow through the cracks, a solid concrete surface provides a permanent, stable, and clean environment for your outdoor activities.

  • Durability: Will withstand extreme weather conditions in Texas (heat, rain & freezing temperatures) & will be constructed to resist excessive sun exposure during the summer & potential freeze-thaw cycles in the winter without warping or degrading.
  • Design Versatility: Concrete can be poured into nearly any form or shape, allowing us to replicate the organic forms of your yard or to produce sharp, clean, geometric lines, which allows our designs to complement your home & style.
  • Easy Maintenance: Much easier to maintain than a wood deck or pavers. No need to stain, seal between each paver individually, pull weeds, or do any other maintenance items except an occasional cleaning of your patio in the spring/summer/fall seasons to keep it looking new.
  • Value: Provides a lot of bang for your buck. Compared to using high-end stone or high-maintenance wood, we can provide a premium look & potentially decades of service at a much lower cost.
  • Longevity: Will last for decades if properly cared for. A concrete patio that has been professionally installed with a suitable sub-base & sufficient reinforcement will become a long-lasting part of your home that may never have to be replaced again.
  • Personalization: Can be colored, textured, or imprinted to meet your needs. We can simulate the look & feel of high-end natural products such as flagstone, slate, or even wood planks, allowing you to choose a design that fits your individual tastes.

Our Patio Installation Process

We follow a structured, professional workflow to ensure your new outdoor space is as durable as it is beautiful. By combining your vision with our technical expertise, we manage every detail from the first measurement to the final cleanup, ensuring a stress-free experience and a perfect result.

  1. Consultation: At this point, we meet with you to discuss your ideas, needs, and budget. During this time, we will ask about how you are planning on using the space (such as quiet retreats or large social events) to allow us to determine the most suitable size and layout for your property.
  2. Evaluation: Once we have discussed your plans and determined what would be the most effective size and layout for your patio, we then need to evaluate the specifics of your property’s location. This includes assessing the ground slope, existing drainage systems, and soil composition in your Grand Prairie yard. All of these assessments are necessary to ensure your yard is properly prepared for a long-lasting concrete pour.
  3. Design: We will create a custom-designed patio based on the evaluation we did of your property. The reason we do not like to follow a one-size-fits-all approach to designing patios is that we feel every home has its own unique characteristics and should be complemented by the design of the patio. Therefore, we will develop a design that complements your home’s architectural features and utilizes the maximum amount of your outdoor space.
  4. Selection: In this phase, you get to choose from a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. For example, if you are looking for the traditional look of broom-finished concrete or the modern and sophisticated look of stamped stone, we will assist you in choosing the materials that best fit your style.
  5. Construction: Our experienced staff will bring your patio to life with a focus on quality and attention to detail. We take care of every step involved in constructing your patio, including excavation, setting forms, reinforcing and pouring the concrete, leveling and finishing the concrete to our high company standards.
  6. Inspection: When we have completed the construction of your patio, we perform a final inspection to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the finished product. We also inspect the patio to ensure that all edges are crisp, the drainage is functioning properly, and the finish is satisfactory to you.

Patio Extension

You have an existing patio that you enjoy, but you would like to add some additional space to be able to entertain or relax in a little more comfort. We can expand your patio by adding on to it without having to replace it entirely. Whether you have installed a new outdoor kitchen, purchased larger patio furniture, or you just want more space to accommodate additional guests, we have the experience needed to match the exact height and finish of your original concrete. We use professional-grade techniques when applying the subbase, and we use special bonding techniques to ensure that the new addition blends in seamlessly with the existing concrete, creating a seamless addition to your outdoor living space.

Patio Resurfacing

Bring your old patio back to life using our resurfacing solutions. We provide options such as laying a new layer of concrete or a decorative overlay on top of your old patio to give it a new look while keeping the cost down from replacing it entirely. The resurfacing service will work well for Grand Prairie home owners who are tired of seeing surface scaling, a few small cracks, or ugly stains in their patio area year after year. Using high-strength polymer-modified overlays, we attach a long-lasting new “skin” to your existing patio slab, creating a new base that has no flaws and gives you a clean slate to color, texture, etc., to your liking.

Decorative Concrete Patios

Elevate your outdoor living area with our range of decorative options that turn a standard slab into a high-end architectural feature. We specialize in customizing the look of your patio to ensure it matches the unique character of your home while maintaining the superior durability of professional concrete.

  • Stamped Patterns That Imitate Stone, Brick, or Tile: Using high-fidelity stamping tools, we can duplicate the appearance of premium materials like slate, flagstone, and cobblestone. This provides the aesthetic appeal of hand-laid masonry with the structural integrity and easy maintenance aspects of a single monolithic concrete pour.
  • Colored Concrete To Match Your Home’s Exterior: Through the use of integral pigments and UV-resistant topical stains, we can choose a color to match your patio to your siding, brick, trim, etc. Also, colors are formulated to be fade/peel resistant over time in the harsh Texas sun.
  • Exposed Aggregate Finish Provides Textured Non-Slip Surface: Exposing the natural beauty of the stones within the concrete reveals the earthy look of the concrete, providing a rugged texture to your outdoor space. Exposed aggregate is an excellent choice for Grand Prairie pool decks & high-traffic areas, offering a high-traction surface that is both visually appealing & safe.
  • Engraved Designs Provide One-of-a-Kind Design: For Grand Prairie homeowners looking for a one-of-a-kind outdoor design feature, we can engrave customized patterns or borders into the hardened concrete. Engraving provides an opportunity for intricate designs in a geometric shape or the appearance of individual stones without the possibility of stones shifting or growing weeds.

Popular Concrete Patio Features

Enhance the functionality and comfort of your outdoor living area by incorporating specialized features into your custom design. We can seamlessly integrate these elements during the initial pour, creating a cohesive and purposeful space that serves as the true heart of your backyard.

Built-in Seating Walls

A built-in seating wall is a permanent structure that provides ample seating for guests to relax while enjoying your outdoor space. It eliminates the need for additional furniture and can be textured to match your patio surface.

Fire Pits

A fire pit is a custom-made feature designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for evening gatherings. To accomplish this, we will build it using heat-resistant materials and position it so that it does not pose a safety hazard to users.

Outdoor Kitchens

An outdoor kitchen is a space where you can prepare food and dine outdoors. We will provide the reinforced and level concrete base that supports the weight of a grill, pizza oven, and cabinetry to turn your backyard into an outdoor culinary destination.

Water Features

We can install a fountain or small pond in your backyard to create a soothing soundscape and enhance the relaxation aspect of your private retreat. Our team can also assist in incorporating plumbing and structural basins required for the installation of an integrated water element.

Planters

We can integrate plants into your patio by building built-in concrete planters. This allows you to have plants surrounding your relaxation space with the ability to change the look of the plants seasonally. The planters will add greenery to your patio and maintain the clean, modern lines of your patio.

Shade Features

We can also design your patio to have a pergola or shade sail above it. Shade structures that are installed over patios require heavy-duty footings to be installed into the foundation of your patio to secure them against the strong North Texas winds.

Maintaining Your Concrete Patio

To keep your new patio looking great for years to come, we recommend a simple but consistent maintenance routine. Because Grand Prairie experiences intense UV exposure and seasonal heavy rains, taking these small steps will preserve the surface finish and prevent the structural degradation of your outdoor investment.

  • Keep clean by sweeping and an occasional pressure wash: Regular removal of dirt, leaves, and debris will help to remove the source of most stain types (organic material) from the surface of your concrete. Generally, a gentle pressure wash, 1 – 2 times per year, is enough to get rid of deep grime and to keep the color of your concrete looking its best.
  • Apply sealant to protect against stains and weathering: On average, we would recommend sealing your concrete every 2 – 3 years to create a protective layer on the surface that will reject water, repel oils & foods from being absorbed into the concrete, and provide protection from the fading effects of the Texas sun.
  • Repair any cracks immediately to avoid water infiltration: Although our patios are made to last for many years, as clay shifts in North Texas, it may cause slight settlement of the patio. Filling small cracks as soon as possible will help prevent water from entering under the slab, which could lead to further erosion or movement of the concrete.
  • Place pads under furniture to prevent scratching on decorative surfaces: If you have a stamped or colored patio, placing protective pads under the legs of heavy metal chairs or tables will help to maintain the integrity of the sealant and minimize superficial scratches that can occur when moving the furniture.
