Stained concrete holds up exceptionally well in Austin’s hot summers and occasional cold snaps. Proper sealing resists UV damage, moisture, and temperature swings.

Planning Your Patio: Key Factors to Consider

1. Space & Function

Consider how you’ll use your patio: entertaining, dining, lounging, or above. This will help determine the best layout, size, and stain finish.

2. Surface Preparation

Existing concrete may need cleaning, repairs, or resurfacing. Our team evaluates every slab to ensure it’s ready for staining.

3. Stain Type: Acid vs. Water-Based

• Acid stains react chemically for variegated, earthy tones.
• Water-based stains offer broader color choices and a more uniform finish.

Outdoor patios can get slick, especially near pools or with morning dew. We add slip-resistant textures and additives to keep your surface safe.
