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

Plano is largely built out, and most of the patios we put in here go into older, mature yards where the grade has long since settled.
We are usually working around an existing pool and a slab the builder poured in the 80s or 90s that has cracked or sunk and is no longer worth keeping. A new patio is the chance to do it right this time.
The single biggest reason patios heave and sink in Plano is the clay. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it bakes, and a patio set 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. We also pitch the surface to carry water away from the house and slab.
Most Plano homeowners choose pavers or natural stone. Pavers give a clean, even finish, and flagstone suits the older, traditional-leaning yards. Both handle Plano's heat and freeze-thaw. We bring samples to your house.
A patio rarely stops at the patio. We often tie it into a sunken fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, or a low retaining wall, built together by one crew so the stone matches and the levels line up.
Concrete pavers cover the most ground. Natural stone and flagstone run higher and read more custom.
We cover Plano, Allen, Richardson, and Murphy across Collin County, and also build patios in nearby Frisco. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate.

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 Plano, answered
Concrete pavers cost less than natural stone or flagstone, which run higher depending on the stone and the pattern. Size, base depth, and how hard the yard is to reach all move the number too. We measure on site and give you a fixed price.
The clay. Plano 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 Plano slabs 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.
Both pavers and natural stone handle Plano's heat and freeze-thaw fine when the base under them is right. Pavers give an even, repairable surface and the widest range of patterns. Flagstone suits the older, traditional-leaning yards. The material is a look-and-budget choice, and the base is what decides whether it lasts.
A standard paver patio runs about 3 to 5 days once we start, including excavation, base, and the surface. Larger stone patios, or ones tied into a fire pit, seat walls, or an outdoor kitchen, run a week or more. We give you the schedule before we begin and keep the work to it.
