Planning your patio
Size and use
Think about furniture, grill space, and walkways around the edges. A patio that is too small is a common regret.
Shape
Rectangles are the most economical. Curves and multiple levels add visual interest but usually add forming time.
Slope and drainage
Patios should slope gently away from the house so rain does not run toward the foundation.
Future additions
If you plan a cover, pergola, or outdoor kitchen, mention it early. Footings or thicker areas may need to be planned into the slab.
Finish options
Broom finish
Simple, slip-resistant, and typically the most budget-friendly.
Stamped or textured
Mimics stone, slate, or brick patterns. See our stamped concrete page.
Color and stain
Integral color or applied stains can soften the look. Lighter colors also tend to stay cooler underfoot in summer sun.
Exposed aggregate
Reveals the stone in the mix for texture and traction.
Patios in the Lubbock climate
Intense summer sun makes surface temperature a real consideration. Lighter finishes and shade structures help. Wind and heat also affect how quickly concrete dries during finishing, so contractors often schedule pours for cooler parts of the day.
Frequently asked questions
Is concrete or pavers better for a patio?
Both work. Concrete is typically a continuous surface with fewer joints to weed; pavers can be replaced individually. Your preference, budget, and design goals usually decide it.
Can a patio be added next to my existing slab?
Often yes. How the new slab connects to the old one should be discussed with the contractor.
What does a patio cost?
It depends on size, finish, site prep, and access. Our patio cost guide covers the factors without guessing at numbers.
