Concrete Patios in Wichita Falls, TX
A concrete patio is the one slab around your house that earns its keep every single day. In Wichita Falls, that means a surface built to sit out in hundred-degree summers, shed the occasional gully-washer, and still be safe to walk on barefoot when it is wet. A patio poured right is the lowest-maintenance outdoor surface you can put down — no boards to rot, no pavers to settle, no seams to weed.
We pour new patios, patio extensions off an existing slab, and concrete pads built to go under a covered patio or pergola. Whether you are starting from bare dirt or tying into what is already there, the goal is the same: a flat, solid, good-looking slab that stays that way for years. Plan it once, pour it right, and it becomes the part of the yard you actually use.
What the Job Involves, Step by Step
Site visit and layout
We walk the spot, talk through how you will use it, and lay out the slab so water drains away from the house instead of pooling against the foundation. A patio that traps water near the slab is a problem you do not want.
Excavation and base
We cut to grade and compact a base so the slab rests on something stable instead of loose fill. On North Texas clay, the base under a patio is what keeps it from settling unevenly after the first wet season.
Forms and reinforcement
We set forms to the finished elevation and lay steel reinforcement so the slab holds together across the seasonal movement our soils are famous for. Reinforcement does not stop cracks, but it keeps the ones that do happen from opening up.
Pour and finish
We place the concrete, strike it off level, and finish it with a broom texture for traction. A broom finish gives grip when the patio is wet — important around pools, near sprinklers, and anywhere kids run barefoot.
Cure
Concrete needs time to reach strength. We protect the slab while it cures so it does not dry out too fast in the Texas heat, which is one of the fastest ways to weaken a fresh pour.
Questions to Ask Any Contractor About This Work
Texas does not issue a state license for concrete contractors, so the best way to vet a pour is to ask sharp questions. Print this list and use it.

Concrete Patios FAQs
How thick should a concrete patio be in Wichita Falls?
A residential patio is typically poured 4 inches thick with steel reinforcement. If the patio will carry a future outdoor kitchen, a heavy grill, or a covered structure, we may recommend a thicker slab or a perimeter beam. Thickness and reinforcement are matched to what the slab will actually have to carry.
Can I pour a patio now and add a cover or outdoor kitchen later?
Yes — and it is smart to plan for it now. If you think you might add a shade cover, pergola, or outdoor kitchen down the road, tell us when we pour. We can thicken the slab at the right spots or add reinforcement so the patio is ready to carry the posts and the weight later without having to be torn out.
What finish is best where kids run barefoot or the patio gets wet?
A broom finish is the standard for a reason. It gives traction when the surface is wet, which matters around pools, near sprinklers, and on any patio kids use. A smooth trowel finish looks slick and gets slippery the moment it is wet. We finish patios with a broom texture unless you have a specific reason to go smoother.
Can you extend my existing patio?
Yes. We tie patio extensions into an existing slab by matching the elevation and finish and placing a control joint where the new pour meets the old. The goal is an extension that looks intentional, not patched on, and drains the same way the original does.
How soon can I put furniture on a new patio?
Light foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two. Wait about a week before setting heavy furniture or grills, and give the slab the full cure time before loading it with anything really heavy. We will tell you the exact timing for your pour when we finish.
Do you pour slabs under covered patios and pergolas?
We do. A slab under a covered patio or pergola is poured to carry the posts and the roof load above it, with reinforcement and thickness planned for the structure. If the cover is going up later, we pour the slab so it is ready for it.
