Outdoor Slabs Built for Weather and Foot Traffic

Ironground Construction LLC designs and installs concrete patios for homes and businesses in Azle.

Your outdoor space in Azle needs a surface that handles foot traffic, furniture weight, and exposure to sun, rain, and temperature swings without requiring constant repairs. Concrete patios provide a level, durable surface for seating areas, grilling spaces, and outdoor gathering spots. They drain properly, resist cracking when built correctly, and can be finished to suit your preferences.

Ironground Construction LLC installs concrete patios by grading the area to control water runoff, preparing a compacted base, and pouring reinforced concrete to the thickness needed for your intended use. We finish the surface to provide traction and can integrate decorative elements if requested. The result is a slab that stays level, sheds water, and holds up under daily use.

Why Base Preparation and Drainage Matter for Patios

Your patio project in Azle starts with excavation to remove unstable soil and create a slight slope away from your home or building. We compact the base material to prevent settling, install reinforcement to resist cracking, and pour the concrete to a uniform thickness. The surface is finished to provide a slip-resistant texture and a clean edge where it meets lawn or landscaping.

After the concrete cures, you will see a flat surface that does not puddle water, supports furniture and foot traffic without sagging, and remains stable even after heavy rain. The slab stays level and does not develop low spots or uneven areas that collect water or trip hazards.

We size and design each patio based on how you plan to use the space and what kind of exposure it will face. This service does not include decorative overlays or repairs to existing cracked patios. The finished slab integrates cleanly with doorways, steps, and surrounding landscape features and requires only basic cleaning and occasional sealing to maintain its appearance.

Common concerns before starting a patio project

Homeowners and property managers often want to understand how patios are built, what affects their longevity, and how to plan for future use before moving forward.

What thickness is needed for a concrete patio?
Most residential patios are poured at four inches thick, which is sufficient for foot traffic and standard outdoor furniture. If you plan to place heavy equipment or large planters on the patio, we increase the thickness accordingly.
How long does a concrete patio take to install?
Installation usually takes one to two days depending on the size and site conditions, and the concrete needs at least seven days to cure before you can use the patio for furniture or gatherings. Full strength develops over 28 days.
Why does a patio need to slope away from the house?
Proper slope directs rainwater away from your foundation, which prevents moisture intrusion, soil erosion, and potential structural damage. We grade the patio during site preparation to ensure water drains correctly.
Can decorative finishes be added to a concrete patio?
Yes, we can apply staining, stamping, or textured finishes to create a custom look while maintaining the structural integrity of the slab. These options are discussed during the planning phase of your project in Azle.
What maintenance does a concrete patio require after installation?
You should rinse the patio regularly to remove dirt and debris, seal the surface every few years to protect against moisture and staining, and avoid dragging heavy metal furniture that can scratch or chip the finish.
