Why Concrete Patios Are a Smart Investment for Homeowners
May 12, 2024

When it comes to enhancing your outdoor space, few projects offer the value and versatility of a concrete patio. Whether you're entertaining guests or relaxing with family, a well-designed patio becomes the heart of your backyard. At Broadstone Landscape, we specialize in professional concrete patio installation that combines beauty, durability, and function—perfect for homeowners in the DFW area.

1. The Benefits of a Concrete Patio

Concrete patios have grown in popularity for several reasons:

  • Long-Lasting Durability: Concrete can handle foot traffic, furniture, and the Texas sun without cracking or fading easily.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or pavers, concrete doesn’t require frequent staining or weeding.
  • Design Flexibility: With stamped and colored concrete options, your patio can match your style—from rustic to modern.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to natural stone or composite decks, concrete offers great value for long-term use.

2. Custom Design Options to Match Your Vision

A concrete patio doesn't mean plain gray slabs anymore. Broadstone Landscape offers:

  • Stamped Concrete – Mimics the look of natural stone, brick, or tile.
  • Colored Concrete – Add pigment to complement your home’s exterior.
  • Custom Shapes & Sizes – Build a patio that fits your yard, not the other way around.
  • Integrated Features – Add seating walls, fire pits, or walkways for an upgraded outdoor experience.

Tip: Pair your concrete patio with landscape lighting to keep the area functional and beautiful after sunset.

3. Planning Your Concrete Patio Installation

Before pouring concrete, it’s important to plan for:

  • Drainage: A properly sloped patio prevents water pooling and structural damage.
  • Placement: Consider how the sun, shade, and access points will affect use.
  • Usage: Will it be for dining, lounging, or both? That affects sizing and layout.
  • Local Regulations: Broadstone handles all necessary permits and ensures code compliance.

We handle every step—from design consultation to final finishing—so you can relax and look forward to your new outdoor space.

4. Maintenance Tips for Your Concrete Patio

To keep your patio looking fresh for years:

  • Seal the Surface every 2–3 years to protect against stains and weather damage.
  • Clean Regularly with mild soap and water.
  • Avoid De-icing Salts during winter, which can damage the surface.
  • Inspect for Cracks and have them repaired early to prevent spread.
