Concrete construction in Katy, TX
Concrete Patios, Walkways and Pads Built for Everyday Life
A cracked path, muddy route or undersized patio can make part of your property frustrating to use. PLS Landscaping builds residential concrete patios, sidewalks, walkways and equipment pads around the actual grade, access and drainage conditions of your Katy property. The result is a clean, stable surface that helps your family move through the yard, gather outside and enjoy the space with greater confidence.

Make the route safer, the patio more useful and the surface easier to live with
Concrete should solve a specific use problem while fitting the rest of the property. We review what is failing now and what the completed area needs to support.
Muddy access routes
Side yards and gate routes stay messy when foot traffic has no defined, stable surface.
Too little gathering space
A small or poorly placed patio can leave no comfortable area for meals, seating or time with family.
Unstable utility areas
Trash, condenser and equipment locations may need a properly sized pad instead of bare or shifting soil.
Residential concrete services
Concrete designed around how the property will be used
Concrete patios
New slabs and patio extensions planned for seating, dining, grills, pergolas and open-air family time. Dimensions, door transitions, runoff and the surrounding lawn or landscape are considered together.
Walkways and sidewalks
Continuous or separated concrete paths for front entries, gates, side yards and backyard circulation. Width, slope and connections are established to create a practical route for adults, children and pets.
Concrete pads
Defined slabs for residential equipment, trash containers, storage access and other exterior uses. The pad is sized and positioned around the intended use, nearby utilities and required clearance.

Construction sequence
Build the support before finishing the surface
Concrete quality begins before the truck arrives. The exact scope depends on the property, intended use and existing conditions.
Evaluate
Review use, access, utilities, irrigation, grade and drainage.
Lay out
Confirm limits, finished elevations, transitions and joint planning.
Prepare
Excavate as required, address unsuitable material and prepare the base.
Form and reinforce
Set forms and install the reinforcement defined by the project scope.
Place and finish
Place, finish and protect the concrete while it begins curing.
Details that affect performance
Concrete has to connect with the rest of the property
The finished surface should not block yard drainage, bury important building clearances or create an abrupt transition at a door, driveway or lawn. Irrigation heads and lines may need to be identified or relocated before excavation. Where runoff crosses the proposed work, slope or a separate drainage component may be required. These relationships are reviewed onsite before the construction scope is prepared.
A patio the family can actually use
A well-planned patio gives outdoor furniture a stable home and creates a dependable setting for meals, birthdays, relaxed evenings and time with the kids. A defined walkway also helps keep muddy shoes and paws from tracking through the house. The practical details are what make the finished construction feel like part of your home.

Residential concrete construction planned onsite
PLS Landscaping evaluates concrete patio, walkway, sidewalk and pad projects in Katy, Cinco Ranch and nearby west Houston communities. Service availability depends on project scope, access and location.
Can you replace an existing cracked walkway?
Yes, when demolition and replacement are included in the project scope. We evaluate access, removal, adjacent surfaces, grade and the route for new construction.
How do you keep a patio from holding water?
The finished elevation and surface slope are planned around doors, the home, surrounding grade and the available runoff route. Some properties also require a separate drainage component.
Can a new walkway connect to my driveway or patio?
Often, yes. The connection is evaluated for elevation, joint location, access and drainage so the new route meets the existing surface appropriately.
What finish can be used on residential concrete?
Finish options depend on the project and intended use. Broom-finished, smooth-detail and decorative applications can be discussed during the onsite evaluation.
Will irrigation or drainage lines be considered?
Yes. Known irrigation, drainage and utility conflicts should be reviewed before excavation. Applicable relocation or protection work is defined in the project scope.
How is the project price determined?
Pricing depends on dimensions, demolition, access, excavation, soil conditions, base preparation, reinforcement, finish, disposal and restoration. An onsite visit allows the work to be measured and defined accurately.
