Patio

A patio is where your family actually lives from October to May in Houston. We build patios that stay level, drain away from the house, and don't crack down the middle in year two. We pour 4" concrete with rebar over compacted base, or install ICPI-certified paver systems with proper edge restraints. Stamped and colored concrete uses integral pigment plus a release powder, not surface stain that fades in three summers. Control joints are saw-cut at proper spacing (roughly the slab thickness in feet) within 18–24 hours so cracks land in the joints, not across your patio. For pavers, the bedding sand is 1" of concrete sand — not fill sand, not stone dust — and every perimeter gets a spiked steel edge. Beyond the slab, we build the full outdoor room: covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, string-light lounges, and hardscape — designed as one cohesive space instead of disconnected add-ons. Permitted, engineered, and built to last through real weather.
