Why Choose a Concrete Patio?
A concrete patio creates the perfect outdoor living space for relaxing, grilling, and entertaining guests. Unlike wood decks that require constant maintenance, staining, and eventual replacement, a properly installed concrete patio can last 25-30 years with minimal upkeep.
Concrete patios work perfectly in Austin’s climate. They handle our hot summers, occasional freezes, and heavy rainstorms without warping, rotting, or attracting termites like wood structures do. Concrete also stays cooler underfoot than pavers or flagstone in direct sunlight.
For Austin homeowners, a concrete patio adds value to your property and expands your usable living space. Whether you want a small space for a grill and table or a large entertainment area with room for outdoor furniture, fire pits, and more, concrete gives you the flexibility to create exactly what you need.
Our Concrete Patio Services
At Ace Concrete Contractors, we offer complete patio services for Austin homeowners. Here’s what we can do for your outdoor space.
New Patio Installation
Building a new concrete patio is our specialty. We handle every step of the process: site preparation, grading for proper drainage, forming, reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh, pouring, finishing, and curing. Our team builds patios in all shapes and sizes, from simple rectangular slabs to custom curved designs.
We work with you to determine the right thickness, finish, and placement for your specific needs. Most residential patios use 4-inch-thick concrete with proper reinforcement, though we may recommend thicker slabs for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, or heavy furniture.
Patio Extension
If your current patio feels too small, we can make it bigger. Extending a concrete patio involves pouring new concrete that connects seamlessly to your existing slab. We match the height, slope, and finish to create a unified look.
Patio extensions are perfect for homeowners who want more space for outdoor dining, seating areas, or a new grill setup. We handle the transition between old and new concrete so you don’t end up with an obvious seam or lip.
Patio Repair
Over time, concrete patios can develop cracks, chips, spalling, or uneven surfaces. Tree roots, settling soil, and Austin’s expansive clay can all cause problems. Our concrete repair services offer several options depending on the type and extent of damage.
For minor cracks, we use professional-grade fillers and sealants that prevent water infiltration and stop cracks from spreading. For sunken or tilted slabs, we offer concrete leveling (also called mudjacking or slabjacking) to raise the surface back to its proper position. When damage is too severe for repair, we remove the old patio and pour fresh concrete.
Patio Resurfacing
If your patio surface is worn, pitted, or showing its age but the underlying concrete is still solid, resurfacing may be the answer. We apply a new concrete overlay that gives you a fresh surface without the cost of a full replacement.
Resurfacing works well for patios that are structurally sound but have cosmetic issues. It’s faster and more affordable than tearing out the old slab and starting over.
Patio Leveling
Sunken or uneven patios create trip hazards and allow water to pool against your foundation. Our leveling service raises settled concrete back to its original position by pumping material beneath the slab.
Leveling is typically faster and less expensive than replacement. Most jobs take just a few hours, and you can use your patio the same day.
Concrete Patio Installation Process
Here’s what to expect when you hire Ace Concrete Contractors for your new patio:
Step 1 – Free Consultation: Call us at (512) 566-7530 or fill out our contact form. We’ll discuss your vision for the patio and schedule a time to visit your property.
Step 2 – On-Site Estimate: We measure the area, assess soil conditions and drainage, and discuss options for size, thickness, and finishing. You’ll receive a detailed written quote with no obligation.
Step 3 – Site Preparation: Our crew clears the area, excavates to the proper depth, compacts the soil, and installs forms to define the patio shape. Proper prep is critical for a long-lasting patio.
Step 4 – Reinforcement: We install rebar, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement depending on your patio’s requirements. Reinforcement prevents cracking and extends the life of your concrete.
Step 5 – Pouring and Finishing: We pour the concrete, spread it evenly, and finish the surface to your specifications. We add control joints to prevent random cracking and ensure proper slope for drainage.
Step 6 – Curing: Concrete needs time to cure properly. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use your new patio, typically 3-7 days depending on weather conditions.
Step 7 – Final Walkthrough: We inspect the finished patio with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. We’re not done until you’re satisfied.
Concrete Patios for Austin's Climate
Austin’s weather creates specific challenges for outdoor concrete. Our team knows how to build patios that handle local conditions.
Clay Soil: Much of Austin sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This movement can crack poorly installed concrete. We prepare the subgrade properly and use adequate reinforcement to prevent problems.
Summer Heat: Austin summers regularly hit 100+ degrees. We pour concrete early in the morning during hot months and use curing compounds to prevent rapid drying, which can cause surface cracks.
Temperature Swings: Winter nights can drop below freezing, while afternoons warm into the 60s. Control joints allow concrete to expand and contract without random cracking.
Heavy Rains: When storms hit, they hit hard. We slope every patio away from the house foundation to prevent water pooling and drainage issues.
We’ve been working in Austin since 2012, and we understand what it takes to build concrete that lasts in Central Texas conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete patio cost in Austin?
Patio costs depend on size, thickness, site conditions, and any required demo work. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost. Every quote includes all labor, materials, and cleanup with no hidden fees. Call (512) 566-7530 to schedule your estimate.
How long does it take to install a concrete patio?
Most residential patios take 2-4 days from start to finish. This includes site prep, forming, pouring, and finishing. After that, the concrete needs 3-7 days to cure before you can place furniture and use it normally. We’ll give you a specific timeline with your estimate.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Standard residential patios are 4 inches thick, which handles normal foot traffic and patio furniture. We may recommend thicker concrete for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, or other heavy loads. Proper reinforcement is just as important as thickness for long-term durability.
Can you match my existing patio when adding an extension?
Yes. We match the height, slope, and finish of your existing patio when pouring an extension. The new concrete will be a slightly different color at first since it’s freshly poured, but it will weather and blend over time. We take care to create smooth transitions without lips or obvious seams.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Austin?
Most simple backyard patios don’t require permits in Austin, but it depends on size, location, and whether you’re adding covered structures. We can help you determine whether your project needs a permit and coordinate with the city if necessary.
How do you prevent concrete patios from cracking?
We use multiple strategies: proper subgrade preparation and compaction, adequate concrete thickness, reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh, control joints placed at regular intervals, and correct curing techniques. Austin’s clay soil and temperature swings make these steps especially important.
Can you fix a cracked concrete patio?
Yes. We offer several repair options depending on the type of damage. Small cracks can be filled and sealed to prevent water infiltration. Larger cracks or structural issues may require partial replacement. We’ll assess your patio and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a concrete patio last?
A properly installed concrete patio can last 25-30 years or more with basic maintenance. Sealing the surface every few years helps protect against staining and weathering. The key is quality installation from the start, which is why hiring experienced contractors matters. Visit our blog for patio care tips.
