When You Need Concrete Patios
A lot of Georgetown homes come with a builder patio that fits two chairs and not much else. If you keep dragging furniture onto the grass, it is time to go bigger. Other signs: your old patio has sunk toward the house, water puddles against the back wall, or you are planning a pergola, a covered roof or an outdoor kitchen and need a slab that can carry it. Patios also make sense when the backyard turns to mud every rainy season.
Our Process
Plan the space
We talk about how you want to use the patio, then mark the size and shape in your yard so you can see it first.
Dig and prep
The area is dug out, graded to slope away from the house and topped with a compacted base.
Form and reinforce
Forms go in to set the edges, and we add rebar or wire mesh, plus any extra thickness for posts or a kitchen.
Pour and finish
We pour, finish the surface to your choice and cut joints to control cracking.
Cure
The patio is kept moist while it cures, and we tell you when it is ready for furniture and a grill.
Built for Georgetown Soil and Heat
Patios in Georgetown take a beating from the sun. In summer the concrete can bake well past the air temperature, so a fresh pour can dry too fast and crack on the surface. We pour early, keep the slab damp while it cures and space our joints carefully. The clay soil east of I-35 is the other issue. When it shrinks in drought, a patio can pull away from the house or tip toward it. A compacted base, steel reinforcement and a steady slope away from your foundation help the patio stay put and keep water off your walls.

Concrete Patios FAQ
How big should a backyard patio be?
It depends on what you put on it. A table and grill need more room than two chairs, so we usually plan around your furniture and how people will walk through. We can mark it out in the yard so you can see the size before we pour.
Can you extend my existing concrete patio in Georgetown?
Yes. We can add onto a builder patio and tie the new slab to the old one. The new section will look a little different in color at first, and we can talk about finishes that help it blend.
Can a concrete patio hold a pergola or covered roof?
It can if it is planned for it. Posts and roof loads often need thicker concrete or footings at the post spots, so tell us about any cover before we pour.
Is a concrete patio hot to walk on in summer?
Concrete does get warm in direct Texas sun. A lighter color, a broom or textured finish and shade from a cover or tree all help keep it more comfortable.
Can a concrete patio support a hot tub?
A filled hot tub is very heavy, so the slab under it should be planned for that weight, often with extra thickness and steel in that spot. Tell us the model and where it will sit, and check the maker's base requirements before the pour. It also helps to plan the electrical line before the concrete goes in.
What finishes can I choose for a concrete patio?
Common options are a broom finish for grip, a smooth troweled surface, a stamped pattern that looks like stone, or a stained color. Textured finishes stay less slick when wet, which matters near pools and doors. We can show you examples of each before you decide.
How long should I wait to use a new concrete patio?
Walking on it and setting out light chairs is usually fine after a few days. Heavier things like a grill, stone fire pit or outdoor kitchen pieces should wait longer while the slab gains strength. Try not to drag metal furniture across the fresh surface during the first few weeks.
How do I clean and care for a concrete patio in Central Texas?
Sweep often and rinse with a hose, and use a mild cleaner or a light pressure wash for grill grease and live oak leaf stains. A sealer every few years helps the surface resist stains and sun wear. Keep sprinklers and downspouts from soaking the edges, since wet clay under the slab is what makes patios shift.
