Serving Wichita Falls, TX and surrounding areas. (940) 298-1855
A Wichita Falls summer is no place for a cracked or missing patio. We build concrete patios that stay flat, drain properly, and hold up through the heat and drought cycles that break lesser work.
Concrete patio construction in Wichita Falls, TX means excavating the site, laying a compacted gravel base for drainage and stability, forming the slab with a slight slope away from the house, and pouring a reinforced concrete surface built to handle the local clay soil - most residential patios take one to two days of active work, with a curing period before full use.
A lot of Wichita Falls yards are barely usable from May through September. The heat is intense, and without a solid patio surface, outdoor furniture sits on bare dirt or gravel that turns to mud in the spring storms and bakes hard in the summer. A properly built concrete patio changes that - it gives you a clean, stable surface that drains correctly and holds up through the seasons.
If you are thinking about going beyond a plain gray slab, we also offer stamped concrete services that can give your patio a stone or brick look at a lower cost than the real materials - and the same concrete base preparation applies, so the durability is the same.
If you have patched cracks in your existing patio and they reappear - especially if they are widening or the edges are starting to lift - the problem is underneath the surface, not on top of it. In Wichita Falls this is usually caused by the clay soil shifting through wet and dry cycles, and patching alone will not fix it.
Standing water on a patio after a storm is a sign the surface was not poured with enough slope, or the ground underneath has settled unevenly. In Wichita Falls, where summer storms can dump a lot of rain quickly, a patio that holds water becomes a slipping hazard and can direct moisture toward your home's foundation over time.
Wichita Falls summers are long and intense, and a bare dirt or gravel backyard is uncomfortable and hard to use from May through September. A concrete patio gives you a stable, easy-to-clean surface that makes the backyard practical again - and adds usable square footage without the cost of an addition.
If sections of your patio or walkway have heaved up or sunk - even by half an inch - that is a real fall risk, especially for children and older adults. Uneven concrete in Wichita Falls is almost always caused by soil movement beneath the slab, and it tends to get worse over time rather than stabilizing on its own.
Every patio project starts with site excavation and a compacted gravel base - this is the step that determines whether your patio stays flat or starts cracking within a few years, and it is the step most shortcuts happen on. We do not skip it. After the base is set, we form the slab, pour the concrete, and finish the surface to the texture you choose. All projects include control joints cut at the right spacing to manage the natural expansion and contraction that happens with every weather change.
For homeowners who want more than a plain surface, we offer broom-finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete services with a range of pattern and color options. Homeowners adding a pool or wanting a connected outdoor living space can combine a patio with our concrete pool decks work for a unified outdoor surface.

Wichita Falls sits on one of the most active clay soil belts in North Texas. That soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries - and the city's history of serious drought periods, including the 2011-2015 drought that led to some of the strictest water conservation measures in Texas, means the ground here goes through extreme moisture cycles. Any patio poured on top of that soil without proper base preparation and control joints will crack. It is not a question of whether, just when.
The summer heat adds another challenge. Wichita Falls regularly exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and freshly poured concrete dries too fast in extreme heat if it is not carefully managed - leading to surface cracking before the slab has a chance to set properly. We pour in the early morning hours on hot days and use curing methods that protect the slab during the critical first 28 days. We serve homeowners across the region, including Denton, TX and Lewisville, TX, where similar conditions require the same careful approach.
We respond within 1 business day. A free on-site visit is how we start every patio project - the size of your yard, the soil, and access to the work area all affect the cost, and we will not quote without seeing the site.
During the site visit, we measure the area, check drainage and ground conditions, and walk through your finish and size options. You receive a written estimate covering excavation, base prep, the pour, and cleanup. No add-ons after the fact.
If your project requires a city permit - common for patios attached to the home - we pull it on your behalf. Permit processing in Wichita Falls typically takes a few business days. Once it is in hand, you get a confirmed start date.
Ground prep is day one. The pour is day two, usually starting early to beat the heat. Stay off the surface for 48 hours. Avoid placing heavy furniture for about a week. After 28 days the slab is at full strength and ready for its first sealer application.
We respond within 1 business day. No obligation to hire us after the estimate. Once you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you.
(940) 298-1855We carry a valid Texas contractor license and full liability coverage. Before we start any work, we can show you the documentation. If anything goes wrong on your property, you are covered - not left dealing with it yourself.
We have poured concrete in North Texas heat, in clay soil that moves with every rain and drought cycle, and we know what the City of Wichita Falls requires for permitted patio work. That local knowledge shows up in the finished product.
You get a full written quote covering every phase of the job before anyone touches your backyard. If something unexpected comes up mid-project, we talk to you before doing anything that changes the price.
Wichita Falls patios poured in summer need special timing and curing management to come out right. We schedule morning pours on hot days and use additives and curing methods that protect the slab during the days and weeks after the pour - the same steps the American Concrete Institute recommends for hot-weather concrete work.
Every proof point above reflects how we actually work. For independent guidance on what makes a quality concrete patio, the American Concrete Institute and the City of Wichita Falls Development Services are good starting points for understanding the standards and permit requirements that apply to your project.
