We're based in Dallas, so when you want a patio looked at in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, Bluffview, Lake Highlands, Casa Linda, or the M Streets, we're close. We build patios that fit the yard you actually have.
Dallas sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that's the main reason patios fail here, they heave in winter and sink in summer once the soil starts moving. Every patio we build gets a compacted base and a pitch that carries water away from the house, which is what keeps it flat for the long haul.
Pavers are the most common build we do in Dallas, and a single unit can be lifted and reset later if a tree root or a settled spot needs attention. Natural stone and flagstone cost more and suit the older Lakewood and Bluffview homes. We bring samples to the house and lay them against your brick and your deck, and give you a fixed price once we measure the space.
Pattern and border are where a patio stops looking builder-grade, a running bond or herringbone field with a soldier-course border, a stone inlay where it meets the back door. Small choices that make it look designed.
Most Dallas patios we build are one part of a larger backyard, a fire pit at the far end, an outdoor kitchen along one edge, or a retaining wall where the yard drops off. One crew handling the whole scope means the materials match and it reads as one project.
We've built across Dallas for over 20 years, and we cover Tarrant County too, including patios in Fort Worth. Every patio starts with a free on-site estimate. We measure it, look at how your yard drains, and give you a real number based on what we see.

FAQ
Patios in Dallas, answered
Pavers cost less than natural stone or flagstone, which run higher depending on the stone and cut. The base prep, the size, and any borders or steps move the number too, so we measure on site and give you a fixed price.
Not if the base is done right, and that's where most failures come from here. Blackland clay swells and shrinks with the weather, so we excavate the soft soil, compact several inches of crushed stone in lifts, and pitch the surface to drain. A patio set straight on clay with no drainage is the one that heaves and sinks.
Pavers cost less, install faster, and a single unit can be lifted and reset later if a root or a settled spot needs work, which is handy under Dallas's old trees. Natural stone and flagstone cost more but give you a higher-end look, especially on the older Lakewood and Bluffview homes. We bring both to the house so you can see them against your brick.
Water is what moves clay. If a patio doesn't shed water away from the house, the soil under it keeps swelling and shrinking, the surface lifts and settles, and the joints open up. We build a pitch into every patio and run the water off and away, which is most of what keeps it flat for the long haul.
A straightforward paver or stone patio is usually a few days to a week on site once we start, depending on size, access, and the base work. A larger patio tied into a fire pit, kitchen, or walls runs longer. We give you a clear timeline before we begin.
