Patios, pool decks and outdoor kitchens for Georgetown backyards
The builder gave you a ten-by-ten slab and a view of the fence. We pour the patio the yard actually needs — stamped or broom, covered or open, with the base for the kitchen and the pad for the fire pit — and the drawing your HOA will ask for.
Almost every new house in Georgetown comes with the same postage-stamp patio, and almost every homeowner extends it within a couple of years. The good news is that a backyard patio rarely needs a city permit; the catch is that in Sun City, Wolf Ranch, Berry Creek, Teravista, Santa Rita Ranch and most other communities it does need architectural approval — a Modification Request with a site sketch, dimensions, finish and color — and a patio that runs into the drainage easement or the rear setback gets sent back.
We handle the parts that make it right: the slab thickness and steel for whichever soil you're on, a slope of about a quarter-inch per foot away from the house so water leaves instead of pooling against the slab, an isolation joint where the new patio meets the old one, the thickened footing under an outdoor kitchen or a future patio cover, and a finish that doesn't turn into a skating rink when it's wet. Stamped ashlar slate and wood-plank patterns in tan and buff tones go with Georgetown's limestone houses; a plain broom finish with a sealed stamped border costs a lot less and still looks finished.

Quarter-inch-per-foot fall away from the house, drains or channel drains where the yard slopes back toward it.
Reinforced slab
4-inch slab with #3 rebar on the limestone side, 5-inch with thickened edges on clay; thickened footings under kitchens, pergola posts and patio-cover columns.

Questions we get about patios & outdoor living
How much does a concrete patio cost in Georgetown?
Broom-finished patios run $9 to $14 per square foot; stamped patios $15 to $24. A 300-square-foot patio extension is usually $3,000 to $4,500 plain or $5,500 to $7,500 stamped. Kitchen footings, pergola post footings and drainage add to that and are itemized.
Do I need a permit for a patio in Georgetown?
An uncovered backyard patio slab usually doesn't need a City of Georgetown building permit. A patio cover, an outdoor kitchen with gas or electric, or anything structural does, and we'll tell you when it's needed. Almost every Georgetown HOA requires architectural approval for a patio regardless; we give you the drawing.
Will Sun City approve a stamped patio?
Generally yes if the color and pattern are in the earth-tone range and the patio stays out of the setbacks and easements. The Sun City Texas Community Association reviews modification requests against its design guidelines; we've drawn plenty and we know the language they want.
Is stamped concrete slippery?
It can be, especially around a pool. We use a non-slip additive in the sealer and pick patterns with more texture where the patio will get wet. A salt finish or a light broom is the safest option for a pool deck.
Can you pour against the house?
Yes, with an isolation joint and the slab set below the weep screed or brick ledge so water can't wick into the wall. On post-tension slabs — most Georgetown houses since the 2000s — we don't dowel into the foundation.
How soon can I put furniture on it?
Light furniture after three days, the smoker and the hot tub after two weeks, and keep the sealer cure in mind: two days before you walk on a freshly sealed stamped surface.
