McKinney/Patios
Patio Builder in McKinney
Paver and natural stone patios built on a real base with drainage, so they hold through McKinney's clay for the long run.

A patio is the floor of the backyard, the surface everything else sits on. We build and replace patios across McKinney. Done right it reads as part of the house. Done wrong it cracks and tilts within a few seasons.
What decides whether a McKinney patio holds is the base. The clay soil here swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and a patio set on a thin bed of sand follows that movement until it pulls apart. We dig down, compact a deep crushed-stone base in lifts, and pitch the surface to drain water away from the house.
Pavers lock together over the base and flex with the clay, so a stone that shifts can be lifted and reset. Flagstone and natural stone give a softer, custom look, and travertine stays cooler underfoot through a long summer. We bring samples to the property and lay them against your house so you choose in daylight.
A patio pairs well with a fire pit set into the surface, an outdoor kitchen along one edge, or a low seat wall or retaining wall if the yard needs grade work. Doing them together keeps one crew on it and usually saves money over separate jobs.
Pavers cost less than flagstone and natural stone, and size, material, and pattern move the number too. Most patios go in over 1 to 2 weeks, longer on larger builds with walls or a kitchen tied in. We measure your yard and give you a fixed price at the free estimate.

Clay soil. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and a patio set on a thin base or straight on grade moves with it until it cracks. We dig down, compact a deep crushed-stone base in lifts, and grade for drainage so the surface stays put.
Pavers lock together over the base and flex with the clay, and a stone that shifts can be lifted and reset, which makes them the practical choice for most yards. Flagstone and natural stone give a softer custom look and run higher. We bring samples and lay them against your house before you decide.
A poured slab is one rigid piece, so when the clay moves it cracks straight through. A paver patio is hundreds of small units over a compacted base, so it rides the same movement, and any settling can be reset.
A standard paver patio goes in over 1 to 2 weeks. Most of the time is the base, excavation, compaction in lifts, and grading, which is the part that makes it last. Larger builds with a seat wall, fire pit, or kitchen tied in run longer. We give you the schedule before we start.
