Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete patio cost in Texas?
A standard broom finish patio in Texas costs $6 to $10 per square foot, making a 300 square foot patio $1,800 to $3,000. Stamped concrete patios run $12 to $20 per square foot, or $3,600 to $6,000 for the same area. Stained and colored options fall in between at $8 to $14 per square foot. Demolishing an old patio adds $3 to $6 per square foot. Most Texas homeowners invest $3,000 to $8,000 for a finished patio.
How thick should a concrete patio be in Texas?
A residential patio in Texas should be 4 inches thick minimum, poured over a compacted 4-inch aggregate base. On Texas expansive clay soil, many contractors recommend a 4 to 6 inch aggregate base with geotextile fabric beneath to separate the clay from the aggregate. Thickened edges of 6 inches where the patio meets soil provide extra stability. Hot tub pads should be 6 inches thick to handle the concentrated weight.
How do I prevent my patio from cracking in Texas?
Proper construction prevents most cracking. Control joints cut or tooled every 8 to 10 feet create planned crack locations. Fiber mesh or welded wire reinforcement holds any cracks tight. Adequate base preparation on clay soil prevents settlement cracking. Curing for at least 7 days with wet burlap or curing compound is critical in Texas heat. A 1 to 2 percent slope away from the house prevents water pooling that erodes the subgrade.
When is the best time to pour a patio in Texas?
Spring and fall are ideal for concrete work in Texas. Temperatures between 50 and 80 degrees allow proper curing. Summer pours above 95 degrees require early morning starts, wind screens, and extra moisture during curing. Winter pours below 40 degrees need insulated blankets and heated water in the mix. Rain is the biggest scheduling challenge. Most contractors monitor forecasts and need a dry window of at least 8 hours for pouring and initial set.
Should I seal my concrete patio in Texas?
Yes, sealing is strongly recommended in Texas. A penetrating sealer protects against water absorption, staining from grills and planters, and UV fading of colored concrete. Apply sealer 28 days after pouring, then every 2 to 3 years. Acrylic sealers add a slight sheen while penetrating sealers maintain the natural look. In direct Texas sun, UV-resistant sealers prevent yellowing. Budget $1 to $3 per square foot for professional sealing.
Can a concrete patio be built on a slope?
Yes, but sloped sites require additional engineering. Options include building a retaining wall on the downhill side to create a level pad, using stepped levels connected by short walls, or grading the slope to create a flat area. Retaining walls add $20 to $50 per linear foot depending on height. The patio itself still needs a slight slope of 1 to 2 percent for drainage. Drainage behind retaining walls is critical to prevent soil pressure buildup.
