How Much Does a Concrete Patio Cost in Fort Worth? (2026)
Most concrete patios in Fort Worth run $10,000–$25,000. Chris and Xavier break down what drives the price, finishes, drainage, and clay-soil prep.
The Short Answer
Most concrete patios we build in Fort Worth run $10,000 to $25,000. A walkway-sized pour runs $3,000 to $6,000. Decorative or oversized slabs, including stamped and stained work, run $15,000 to $40,000+. Tearing out and repouring an existing slab runs $5,000 to $40,000. We quote per project after a walk-through, not by the square foot.
Our Concrete Ranges
| Concrete scope | Our range |
|---|---|
| Patio or driveway slab | $10,000 – $25,000 |
| Walkway | $3,000 – $6,000 |
| Decorative or large slab (stamped, stained, oversized) | $15,000 – $40,000+ |
| Epoxy coating or overlay | $4,000 – $15,000 |
| Tear-out and repour | $5,000 – $40,000 |
Across everything we pour, our concrete work spans $3,000 to $50,000. Where your patio lands depends on a few things we can only judge in your yard.
What Drives the Price
Size
Square footage is the biggest lever. A small slab off the back door and a full entertaining area are not the same job, even though both get called a patio.
Thickness and reinforcement
A patio that only holds a table and chairs gets built differently from one carrying a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, or the posts for a covered structure. Load drives thickness and reinforcement, and both drive cost. We settle that at the walk-through, before anything gets priced.
Prep, tear-out, and access
Grading, hauling off spoil, and breaking out an old slab are real line items, not rounding. That is why a repour can land anywhere between $5,000 and $40,000. Access matters too. If the truck can reach the pour, the job costs less than one where every yard of concrete has to be wheeled through a side gate.
Broom Finish vs. Decorative Concrete
A plain broom-finish slab is what we pour most often, and it is what most patios in the $10,000 to $25,000 range are. The broom texture is there for a reason. It gives you traction when the slab is wet, and it holds up well for most families.
Decorative work is a different job. Stamped patterns, stained color, borders, and saw-cut detail all add steps after the pour, and every one of those steps is labor. That is why decorative or oversized slabs sit at $15,000 to $40,000+ while a straightforward patio sits lower. Epoxy, overlays, and staining are all work we do, so if your existing slab is sound and you only want the look changed, a coating or overlay runs $4,000 to $15,000 instead of a full replacement.
Drainage and Slope
Water is what kills a patio. The slab has to shed water away from the house, and the slope gets planned before the forms go in, not chased afterward. We look at where your downspouts land, how the yard already drains, and where your door thresholds sit. Getting it wrong shows up two ways: standing water on the slab, and water pushed back toward your foundation. Both are expensive to fix later and avoidable on the front end.
What Texas Clay Does to a Slab
North Texas soil is heavy clay. It swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries out, and in a Fort Worth summer it can do both in the same season. That movement is what lifts one corner of a patio, drops another, and opens a crack across the middle. It is also why a slab poured over unprepared ground can fail early no matter how good the concrete was.
We deal with that in the dirt, before the truck shows up. Subgrade prep, compaction, moisture, reinforcement, and joint layout get decided for your specific yard and written into the estimate. Concrete moves. The job is to control where it cracks instead of pretending it will not.
Why We Do Not Quote by the Square Foot
You will find per-square-foot figures online. We do not use them, and we will not hand you one over the phone. A per-foot number ignores tear-out, access, grade, thickness, reinforcement, and finish, which is exactly where the money is. We price the project after seeing it, and that number holds for 30 days.
What a Real Quote Includes
- The full scope in writing: dimensions, thickness, reinforcement, finish, and joint layout.
- Tear-out and haul-off when an existing slab is coming out.
- The grading and drainage plan for your yard.
- Permits billed at cost when a scope requires one. We do not pad permits into the price.
- A 30-day validity window on the quote.
- Change orders in writing at cost plus 25%, priced before work continues.
- Payment terms. Under $60,000 that is 50% down and 50% at completion. We take check, Zelle, bank transfer, or cash; credit cards carry a 3% processing fee.
- A written warranty: three years covering everything we touch on the job, plus five years on our workmanship. Manufacturer warranties on materials pass through to you.
Our own in-house crew does the work, and licensed trades pull permits when a scope calls for it. Typical start is one to two weeks out, depending on the schedule when you call.
When the Patio Is Step One
Concrete is often step one for something bigger. Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas all sit on a slab that has to carry them. A pergola on its own runs $10,000 to $25,000, and a full outdoor living space runs $25,000 to $100,000. If that is where you are headed, say so at the walk-through so the slab gets built for the finished plan instead of getting cut up a year later. Our outdoor living spaces page walks through those builds, and our concrete solutions page covers the rest of what we pour.
Common Questions
How much does a concrete patio cost in Fort Worth?
Most run $10,000 to $25,000. Walkway-sized pours run $3,000 to $6,000, and decorative or oversized slabs run $15,000 to $40,000+.
Do you replace old concrete or only pour new?
Both. We do all concrete work, including pours and repours. A tear-out and repour runs $5,000 to $40,000 depending on how much has to come out and how hard it is to reach.
Can you resurface my patio instead of replacing it?
If the slab underneath is sound, yes. Epoxy coatings and overlays run $4,000 to $15,000, and staining is work we do as well. If the slab is already broken up and moving, a coating only buys time, and we will tell you that straight.
Are you licensed?
Texas does not issue a state general contractor license, so no contractor in this state holds one. We are a Fort Worth & Aledo city-registered building contractor (#RB026782 / #25-000007), insured. Our general liability is $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate, and we send a certificate on request.
