Kyle, Texas · Concrete patios
New patios, bigger patios, and patios rebuilt from scratch when the old slab cracked, sank, or tipped toward the house. We read how water moves across your yard first, then we pour. Serving Kyle, Buda and San Marcos.
Every patio we pour falls away from your slab, so rain leaves the back door and heads for the yard, a swale or a drain.
What we build first
Most Kyle homes came with a small builder slab out back. You can pour a new patio where there was only grass, or tear out the old one and build it right. Either way it starts with the base and the slope.
Poured concrete patios with integrated drainage pitch and finish options from broom to exposed aggregate.
Removal of a cracked, sloped, or undersized patio and a new one built larger, level, and draining away from the house.
Finishes and pool decks
Once the slab is right, the surface is where it becomes yours. Pick a pattern and color for the patio, or carry it around the pool with a surface made for bare feet.
Decorative, colored, and textured concrete with stone, brick, or wood patterns, fiber-reinforced and properly jointed for Central Texas heat. Includes stained and colored finishes that elevate standard slabs.
Anti-slip pool deck surfaces in stamped, brushed, or exposed aggregate finish, designed to drain away from the pool edge.
Same crew, same care
New driveways built on compacted base with proper reinforcement and pitch so water drains away from the garage.
Crack repair, section replacement, and leveling for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and steps.
Broom finish, stamped, and exposed aggregate walkways poured on a compacted base with control joints.
How we build it · cutaway
Kyle soil moves. A patio poured straight on the ground with no base and no slope is the one that cracks, sinks at the corner, and sends water back to the door. Here is the patio we build instead.

Built for Hays County ground
Kyle, Buda and San Marcos straddle the I-35 corridor between Blackland Prairie clay and the limestone edge of the Hill Country. Two yards a few miles apart can need different prep. We check before we quote.
Dark clay soaks up rain, swells, then pulls back and cracks in a dry August. A compacted base and fabric under the slab keep that movement from reaching the concrete.
Some lots hit hard rock a few inches down. That changes how we dig, grade and set the slab height against the door threshold.
Hot, dry wind pulls water out of fresh concrete too fast. In summer we pour early, keep the slab damp while it cures, and cut joints on time.
Where we pour
Most patios here sit behind homes built in the last twenty-five years, on small builder slabs. Many neighborhoods have an HOA, so we draw your layout for you to submit.

Questions Kyle homeowners ask
Don't see yours? Call or text (512) 555-0100 and ask.
It depends on size, tear-out, base depth and finish. A broom-finish patio and a stamped, stained patio are different projects. After the on-site assessment you get a realistic range in writing, before anything is formed.
Sometimes, but usually not. If the old slab is cracked, sinking or pitched toward the house, pouring over it carries those problems into the new one. Most Kyle-area builder patios get torn out so we can fix the base and the slope.
All concrete can crack. The goal is to control where. A compacted base, reinforcement, and control joints cut at the right spacing mean any cracking follows the joint lines instead of running across the slab.
Usually the patio is flat or tilted toward the house, or the ground around it settled. A rebuilt patio is pitched away from the foundation so rain leaves the door and moves to the yard.
Light foot traffic comes first, furniture a little later, and full strength takes several weeks. Your crew lead gives you exact days for your pour and the weather that week.
Many neighborhoods in Kyle, Buda and San Marcos have guidelines for backyard work. We provide a drawn layout and finish details you can submit.
