Concrete patio cost in Texas (2026 pricing)

How much does a concrete patio cost in Texas?

Concrete patio cost in Texas runs $5.30 to $17.72 a square foot when we pour it in North Texas. The low end is a plain broom slab with fiber in the mix and no sealer. The high end has everything on it: a stamp, rebar, color, scoring, a wet-look sealer, and tear-out of an old slab. A standard 12x16 patio (192 sf) comes to $1,150 to $3,950 before the drive cost, meaning our trip to your place.

To find your own number, start with the base slab and add the finish and options you want. The quote tool does that math for you. The base price covers the dirt work, a 4-inch rock base, and forms. It also covers a 4,000 PSI mix, hand work at the edges, saw-cut control joints, and the cure.

Three things decide where your patio lands in that range. The first is the finish. Broom costs the least and stamped costs the most, with exposed aggregate and integral color close together in the middle. The second is the ground. Blackland Prairie clay runs through the Sherman and Paris area. It’s expansive soil, meaning it swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry. A patio there needs a deeper rock base and heavier steel than one on the red beds around Wichita Falls. The third is the Texas sun. Summer UV hits index 10 to 11 here. Colored and stamped patios on the south and west sides of a house need fresh sealer at year two. We hold the contract on every Texas job. For stamp patterns, see the Texas stamped concrete cost page.

Patio cost by size in North Texas

Each row starts with a plain broom slab and tops out with every option added. Every total also carries the job’s setup, so the top of a row can work out a little above our per-foot range. The gap is widest on a small patio, where the setup and the crew’s day get spread over fewer feet. None of these totals count the drive or extra rock base on clay.

What does each patio finish cost?

The finish is the biggest part of the price you get to choose. Each starting price below has fiber in the mix and one coat of water-based sealer. Rebar, a wet-look sealer, and decorative scoring go on top.

A quick way to pick:

• Tight budget, or a utility patio or side walkway? Go with broom. There’s no pigment to fade, so the sun can’t hurt the look.
• Low upkeep in full sun? Go with exposed aggregate. You see the stones, not a pigment, so fade barely shows. It holds up in North Texas heat without a heavy sealer schedule, and it grips well around a pool.
• Color that lasts? Go with integral color, where the pigment runs all the way through. South- and west-facing patios need fresh sealer at year two.
• A shaded patio and the widest color choice? Stain has the most colors, but it fades fastest in Texas sun. Pick it for shade, or plan on a strict sealer schedule.
• The look of stone or brick? Stamped is the top tier, pattern plus color. The Texas stamped concrete cost page covers the patterns.

Where in North Texas does the price change?

Our price per foot is the same in Texarkana as it is in Wichita Falls. What changes from town to town is the soil, the base it needs, and the drive. Our Texarkana and Wichita Falls teams handle most of our Texas work. Sherman and Denison jobs come from our Southern Oklahoma team.

Sherman and Denison sit on the most expansive Blackland clay we pour on, so the base goes deepest and the rebar runs closest. On the worst sites, for slabs over 500 sf, we offer post-tension cable. That’s steel cable pulled tight after the pour to hold the slab together, and we price it per job.

The Texarkana area covers the most ground. One lot sits on Blackland clay and the next on Red River bottom soil, so the base work varies.

Around Wichita Falls, the ground is Permian red beds, not Blackland clay. Our clay spec steps back, so a normal site lands near the low end of the range.

What affects concrete patio cost in Texas?

Clay under the slab. On Blackland Prairie clay, we lay 6 to 8 inches of crushed rock instead of the usual 4. We also step up from fiber to #4 rebar. The rebar adds $1.80 a square foot. The extra rock is priced per job after we see the site, since no two lots need the same amount.

Tearing out an old patio. Breaking up an old 4-inch slab and hauling it off runs $2.30 a square foot. A thicker slab, or one with steel in it, can cost more.

Drainage. Low sites around Texarkana sometimes need a drainage plan for tropical-storm rain. A French drain or a reshaped slope around the patio is priced per job.

Slab thickness. A pool surround carries more weight, so it needs a thicker slab and more rebar. The quote tool prices that thickness, with a slider from 3 to 10 inches.

Sun and sealer. Integral color gets iron-oxide pigment, never organic dyes, on any Texas patio. Colored, stained, and stamped patios get a UV-stable polyurethane-acrylic sealer. We price the year-two refresh on south- and west-facing patios per job, after we see how the sealer has worn.

The drive cost. The online quote tool works out the drive from your address and shows it as its own line.

How do you get your own patio price?

The fastest way is the online quote tool. It takes about 2 minutes.

Enter the patio size and your address, then pick the finish and options. Set a thicker slab on the slider for a pool deck or hot tub pad. You get an installed price, with the drive cost on its own line. Does your lot sit on heavy Sherman or Denison clay, or might it need post-tension cable? Then we come look at the ground at no charge and price the base and cable from what we find.
