Most Allen backyards came with a builder pad barely big enough for a grill. We build patios sized for how people here actually live outside, outdoor kitchens and covered structures included, on a base prepared for black clay that moves with every drought and every storm.
Drag the handle to reveal the finished pour.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete patios job.
We look at drainage, grade, and how the patio meets the house before we talk finishes. On Allen's clay, where the water goes when it leaves the slab matters as much as the slab itself.
We excavate to firm material, then compact base in lifts. The goal is a uniform cushion between the concrete and clay that swells every fall and shrinks every August.
Forms are set with a consistent fall away from the foundation, and reinforcing steel goes on chairs so it sits in the middle of the slab, not at the bottom of it.
In a North Texas summer we pour early, keep enough hands on the slab, and get curing compound down before the surface flashes. Hot-weather concreting is a checklist here, not an afterthought.
Control joints get cut on time so the slab cracks where we planned instead of where it wants. We haul off the spoils, backfill the edges, and walk the finished patio with you.
Most contractors vanish after the deposit. We pick up the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work after the truck leaves. The follow-through is the difference.
A foreman we know runs your job and a vetted crew does the work, managed by Lucky's, one company accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
COI and lien waivers on file before we break ground. The documentation that lets commercial clients pay and gives homeowners peace of mind.
Prepped subgrade, reinforced and mixed to spec for the job, and proper curing. We build credibility through the process, not promises. On concrete patios, that starts with walk the yard, plan the pour.
Broom-finish patios in Allen typically start around $8 to $14 per square foot, with size, access, tear-out, and finish driving where a project lands in that range. We price after we have walked the site; we will not quote a number over the phone that we can't stand behind.
Concrete on Blackland Prairie clay will move; anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. What we control is how it moves: a compacted base, steel in the right place, and joints cut on schedule so cracking happens in straight lines we planned rather than across the middle of your patio.
Yes, and it should be decided before the pour, not after. Post footings, anchor locations, and any extra thickness for a roof load get built into the slab, so tell us what structure you are planning even if it is a year away.
Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two, furniture after about a week. Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after the pour, so we will give you a specific schedule based on the mix and the weather when we finish.
We do, with hot-weather practice: early start times, enough finishers for the slab size, and curing compound down before the surface dries out. A slab that flash-dries at 100 degrees is weaker at the surface for life, so we manage the schedule instead of fighting it.
Many Allen neighborhoods require architectural approval for flatwork you can see from the street, and a few care about patios behind the fence too. We provide a dimensioned sketch and finish details you can hand to your committee, and we build to what the association approves.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
