Allen/Patios
Patio Builder in Allen
Paver and natural stone patios built for Allen's established yards, on a base that holds level through the clay.

Allen is largely built out, and most of the patios we put in here go into mature yards where the grade has long since settled, in neighborhoods like Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, and Suncreek.
We're usually working around an existing pool and a builder slab from the 2000s that's cracked or heaved and isn't worth keeping. A new patio is the chance to do it right this time.
The single biggest reason patios heave and crack in Allen is the clay. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it bakes, and a patio set straight on dirt that moves is a patio that moves with it. We excavate down and compact a proper base in layers, then set the patio on that so it stays put through the wet-dry cycle, and pitch the surface to carry water away from the house.
Most Allen homeowners choose pavers or natural stone. Pavers give a clean, even finish that takes furniture and foot traffic and can be reset unit by unit if a spot ever settles. Flagstone and natural stone suit the bigger custom lots in Star Creek and Montgomery Farm Estates. We bring samples to your house.
A patio rarely stops at the patio. We often tie it into a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, or a low retaining wall, built together by one crew so the stone matches and the levels line up.
We cover Allen plus Plano, Frisco, and McKinney across Collin County. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate.

Homeowner, Plano TX
“We've used Lalo's on three builds now. They just get it done. No drama, no excuses. That's hard to find with subs.”

“Lalo came out himself to look at our coping. Didn't try to upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Just told us what needed fixing and gave us a fair price.”
Homeowner, Fort Worth TX
“Had another company do our tile and it started falling off after one summer. Lalo's crew came in, tore it out, and redid the whole thing. Should have called them first.”

FAQ
Patios in Allen, answered
The clay. Allen sits on expansive soil that swells with rain and shrinks in the heat, and anything set straight on that dirt moves with it. We excavate and compact a real base in layers and pitch the surface so water drains away. The base is what keeps a patio level.
Sometimes, but on the older Allen slabs from the 2000s we usually advise against it. If the slab has already cracked or sunk, it has moved once and will move again, and a new surface laid over it inherits that. We would rather pull it, build a proper compacted base, and set the new patio on something that holds. We tell you which way the slab actually justifies.
Pavers give you a clean, large field that holds up to furniture and can be reset unit by unit. Natural stone and flagstone read more custom, which suits the bigger lots in Star Creek and Montgomery Farm Estates. We bring samples to the house so you can see both against your home.
A straightforward paver or stone patio is usually a few days to a week on site once we start, depending on size, access, and base work. A larger patio tied into a fire pit, kitchen, or retaining wall runs longer. We give you a clear timeline up front.
