We deliver thick, steel-reinforced slabs specifically for backyard living spaces. The final product is a high-PSI concrete floor that supports the weight of heavy outdoor kitchens, hot tubs, or stone fire pits. Our patio installation services in Plano TX include the full layout, the excavation of existing grass, and the hauling away of all debris. We use a 3,500 PSI mix or higher to ensure the surface doesn’t flake or scale after a few winters. Every patio comes with a broom-finish texture for traction or a smooth finish for future tiling or staining.
The main deliverable is a level, load-bearing surface tied directly into your home’s foundation where necessary. We install deep expansion joints to control where the concrete moves so the face of the patio doesn’t develop random spiderweb cracks. We also handle the pitch of the slab to ensure water runs toward the yard and not into your weep holes. You get a clean-edged patio with all form boards removed and the dirt backfilled against the new concrete. There is no wood to rot or pavers to settle; it is a single, solid unit of reinforced masonry.
Better to rip the old one out. If the old base is sinking or cracked, the new concrete will just do the same thing in a year.
Most go with a broom finish. It’s got a bit of grit so you aren’t sliding around when the patio gets wet.
We give the slab a slight pitch. You won’t notice it, but it’s enough to keep rain running off the edge instead of toward your door.
If you tell us where it’s going, we’ll beef up the steel and the thickness in that spot so it doesn’t crack under the weight.
Yes, but we have to know first. We’ll add extra rebar and make that section of the pour thicker so the weight of the water doesn’t snap the slab in half.
