We rebuilt a 24×12 patio for a homeowner in Plano this July, and the space went from something the family walked past to somewhere they actually want to spend their evenings.
The old patio had reached the end of its life, which happens more than people expect in North Texas. The ground shifts with the seasons and the summer heat works on concrete year after year. Rather than patch over problems that would come straight back, we took the surface down and rebuilt it from the base up, sized at a full 24 by 12 feet so there is real room for a table, seating, and a grill without anyone feeling boxed in.
Here is the project at a glance:
A rebuild is not the same as pouring a fresh slab on an empty lot. We start by clearing the old surface and checking what is underneath, because a patio is only as good as the base it sits on. Once the ground is prepped and level, the new patio goes in with proper drainage so water runs away from the house instead of pooling against the foundation. That detail matters here. Poor drainage is one of the quiet causes of foundation trouble in DFW homes, and a patio built the right way helps the situation instead of adding to it.
The finished 24×12 surface gave the backyard a clean, usable footprint. The before and after photos on this page tell the story better than words do, but the short version is that the homeowner got back a part of their property they had basically written off.
Cracked, uneven, or sinking concrete rarely fixes itself. You can fill a crack, but if the base beneath it has failed, the same problem shows up again a season later. A full rebuild costs more upfront than a patch, and it also lasts far longer, which is why most of our patio clients in Plano go this route once they see the difference laid out.
There is the look of it too. A patched patio always reads as patched. A rebuilt one looks like it was meant to be there. And if selling is anywhere in your plans, a solid outdoor space is one of the first things a buyer walks straight out to see.
A good chunk of the year in Plano is patio weather when the space is comfortable to sit in. A well-built patio becomes the anchor for everything people add later, whether that is a pergola for shade, an outdoor kitchen, or just good furniture and a fire pit once fall arrives. If you are thinking bigger than a patio, our room additions and outdoor living work can extend your home’s footprint the same way, and plenty of clients start with one project and come back for the next.
You can see more of what we have built around the metroplex on our past projects page. Patios, full remodels, additions, the range gives you a feel for how we work and the kind of finish you can expect.
This build was in Plano, where a lot of our work happens, and we cover the surrounding suburbs just as readily. We take on patio and remodeling projects across Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Celina, Richardson, Garland, and the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is the same crew and the same standard whether the job is a backyard patio or a whole-home remodel.
If your patio is cracked, sinking, or simply past its prime, we would be glad to come take a look. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate, and our team is licensed and insured. Tell us what you have in mind and you will get a straight answer on what it takes to put it right.
