SERVING ARLINGTON, TEXAS
Patios, Walkways and Driveways in Arlington, TX
Everything else in the backyard sits on the ground you start with. We build concrete, paver and stone patios, walkways and driveways for Arlington homes, and every one begins with base prep and drainage we have refined since we opened in 2016 and started building in the Fort Worth area.
Ten years of North Texas ground
We have been building in and around Fort Worth since 2016. In that time we have dug into a lot of North Texas soil and seen what happens when a slab goes down without the right prep. It cracks, it heaves and it tips toward the house.
So we start below the surface. We grade for drainage, compact a proper base and set the thickness and reinforcement to match what will sit on top. A patio that will one day carry an outdoor kitchen or a stone fireplace needs more than one built for a table and chairs.
That attention is a big reason our work spreads by referral. Neighbors notice a patio that still looks flat and clean ten years later.
Fixing the small Arlington slab
Older Arlington homes often came with a back slab too small for a dining table and a grill. Over the years many of those pads have settled or cracked. Extending or replacing that original patio is one of the most common requests we get in Arlington.
If the existing slab is level and sound, we can extend it or overlay it with pavers. If it has heaved, replacing it gives a better and longer-lasting result. Either way, we plan the new footprint around how you will use the space, including room for future phases.
Concrete
Broom finish, stamped or with a cool-deck style overlay. Concrete is the budget-friendly base for covers and kitchens.
Pavers
Interlocking pavers flex with the soil and are easy to repair. They come in many colors and sizes to match brick or stone homes.
Natural stone
Travertine and flagstone stay cooler underfoot and bring a natural texture. Flagstone also makes handsome stepping-stone paths.
Walkways and driveways that make sense
A good walkway follows the route people already take. We connect the driveway to the back gate, the back door to the patio and the patio to a fire pit out in the yard. Widths are set so two people can walk side by side and a wheelbarrow can still get through.
Driveway work follows the same rules with heavier loads. We set the base and reinforcement for vehicles and grade the surface so runoff heads to the street instead of the garage.
One plan for the whole backyard
A patio is usually the first step, not the last. We design it with the next pieces in mind. Leave room and footings for a patio cover on your Arlington home. Run gas and electrical sleeves now for an outdoor kitchen in Arlington later. On a sloped lot, plan retaining walls for Arlington yards first so the patio sits flat.
Our team designs it, permits it, builds it and furnishes it. You deal with one company from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Patio and walkway questions in Arlington
Can you extend my existing Arlington patio instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. A level, sound slab can be extended or topped with pavers. A heaved or badly cracked one is better replaced.
Which surface stays coolest in an Arlington summer?
Lighter stone like travertine and light concrete finishes stay cooler than dark pavers. Shade from a cover or pergola makes the biggest difference of all.
Do you pour driveways as well as patios?
Yes. We build driveways and front walks in concrete or pavers, with a base designed for vehicle loads.
