Southlake patios are usually on bigger lots, so there is room to do a real outdoor living area. It usually wraps the pool, carries out to a kitchen or a fire pit, and has to look like it belongs with the rest of the property. That is the patio work we do.
We have built patios across DFW for 20 years. Pavers give you a clean repeatable pattern and a single unit can be lifted and reset if anything ever moves. Natural stone is where most estate jobs land. Travertine stays cooler underfoot through a Texas summer, and a wider flagstone or bluestone lets every piece stand on its own. We bring samples to the property and set them against your existing stone and coping.
What decides whether a patio lasts is the base you never see. North Texas clay swells and shrinks with the weather, which is the main reason patios in this area heave, sink, and crack. We excavate down, compact a proper base in lifts, and pitch the surface so water runs away from the house.
We run borders, banding, and soldier courses to frame a space and break a large patio into rooms, an eating area, a lounge area, the path to the pool, so it looks designed.
A patio rarely goes in alone out here. It is the floor that a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, or a retaining wall sits on, and building them together means one crew, one material palette, and one timeline.
Most Southlake patios go in over 1 to 2 weeks, longer on a larger footprint that ties into a kitchen or fire feature. We measure the yard and give you a fixed price before we start.

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 Southlake, answered
Yes. We plan the stone and the grade together so the patio reads level against a vanishing edge or a raised wall, and match the material to your coping so the whole space looks designed as one.
North Texas clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and that movement is the main reason patios heave and sink here. The fix is in the base. We excavate, compact a proper base in lifts, and pitch the surface so water drains away. A patio built on a real base stays flat.
Both work. Pavers give a clean repeatable pattern and any single unit can be lifted and reset. Natural stone like travertine stays cooler underfoot and reads as part of the architecture, which is why most of the larger Southlake jobs go that way. We bring samples to the property so you choose against your existing stone.
Yes, and it is the better way to do it. The patio is the floor those features sit on, so building them on one timeline with one material palette keeps everything matched and usually saves money over separate jobs. We coordinate the patio, the kitchen, the fire pit, and any seat or retaining wall as one project.
Most Southlake patios go in over 1 to 2 weeks, including excavation, base, and setting the stone. A larger footprint that ties into a kitchen or fire feature runs longer. We give you the schedule before we start.
