Residential Service
Concrete Patios in Cypress, TX
New backyard patios, patio extensions, and finished slabs built around how you actually use your outdoor space.
Overview
What This Service Covers
A concrete patio is a poured outdoor slab designed for people rather than vehicles. Because it carries lighter loads than a driveway, more of the decision-making shifts to layout, drainage away from the house, and finish — how large the usable space is, where furniture and grills sit, and how the surface looks and feels underfoot.
We build new patios, extend undersized builder patios, and pour slabs for covered structures. The starting point is always how you plan to use the space, because a dining area, a lounge area, and a covered outdoor kitchen each call for different dimensions.
Every project starts on the CXS Concrete Solutions side with a walk of your property in Cypress, TX or a nearby community, followed by a written estimate.
Fit
Who a Patio Project Is For
- Homeowners whose builder-grade patio is too small for a table and seating
- Backyards where grass never establishes and the area stays muddy
- Families planning a covered patio, pergola, or shade structure that needs a slab
- Homes in Bridgeland and Cypress master-planned neighborhoods working with tighter lot lines
- Owners who want a hard surface for a hot tub, grill station, or fire pit seating area
- Properties where water currently sits close to the back of the house

Groundwork
Patio Preparation Considerations
Patios sit right against the house, which makes grading the most important prep conversation. Water has to move away from the foundation, and the finished patio height has to work with door thresholds and existing slabs.
Preparation checklist
- Slope direction so runoff moves away from the house and foundation
- Finished height relative to door thresholds and the existing patio
- Removal of sod, roots, and soft or organic material in the footprint
- Compaction of the subgrade across the full pour area
- Where downspouts discharge and whether they need to be redirected
- Access for equipment and concrete delivery through gates or side yards
Reinforcement and Material Considerations
Patio slabs carry lighter loads than driveways, but reinforcement still matters — especially where the patio will support a cover, an outdoor kitchen, or a hot tub. Those decisions are made per project rather than by a blanket rule.
- Reinforcement selected for the actual use, including added support where a cover will bear
- Thickness discussed relative to point loads such as hot tubs or masonry features
- Isolation detailing where the patio meets the house slab
- Joint layout planned around the finish and the shape of the patio
- Color and mix selection when a decorative finish is chosen
Appearance
Patio Finish and Appearance Options
- Broom finish
- Durable, budget-conscious, and the most common patio surface.
- Stamped concrete
- Patterned to resemble stone, slate, or plank, with color worked into the finish.
- Smooth trowel with saw-cut grid
- A cleaner, more modern look defined by deliberate joint spacing.
- Exposed aggregate
- Textured and slip-resistant, with visible stone in the surface.
- Integral or release color
- Color built into the pour or applied at finishing for tone variation.
- Border banding
- A contrasting perimeter that frames the patio and hides transitions.

Investment
What Affects Patio Pricing
Patio estimates move mostly with size, finish, and access. A stamped patio behind a narrow gate is a different job than a broom-finished slab with open driveway access, even at identical square footage.
- Square footage and the shape of the layout
- Finish type — broom, stamped, exposed aggregate, or colored
- Backyard access for equipment, wheelbarrows, or a pump
- Demolition of an existing patio, if any
- Grading and drainage work in the patio footprint
- Added structural support for covers, kitchens, or hot tubs
- Steps, seat walls, or transitions included in the scope
We don't publish prices for this service. Pricing comes from a site visit and a written estimate specific to your property.

Patio Maintenance and Aftercare
Decorative patios need a little more attention than broom-finished slabs, mostly around sealing and cleaning. We cover what your specific finish needs at the walkthrough.
What we ask of you
- Wait for our go-ahead before placing heavy furniture or a hot tub
- Rinse the surface periodically; avoid harsh de-icing chemicals
- Reseal stamped or colored finishes on the interval we recommend
- Keep planters and irrigation from constantly saturating one area
- Keep control joints clear of soil and debris
