Garlic Creek · Buda, Texas · Concrete patios

Concrete patios in Garlic Creek, Buda. Original patios, rebuilt to last.

Garlic Creek is a master-planned Buda community of about 850 homes built between 2007 and 2016, next to the 31-acre Garlic Creek Park.

Original patios here are reaching the age where clay movement shows: cracks across the slab, settled corners, and water at the door. A rebuild with a real base fixes the cause.

Slope away from the house

Every patio we pour in Garlic Creek, Buda falls away from the house, so rain leaves the back door and heads for the yard.

What we see in Garlic Creek backyards

Small builder pads, settled edges and patios that slope the wrong way. Owners usually want the new patio bigger, with a stamped or exposed aggregate finish.

Garlic Creek soil and water

Clay soil and lots near the creek and greenbelt mean water management matters. We slope the patio away from the house and keep runoff from heading toward a neighbor.

Our patio has a crack all the way across. Is it still safe?

It is usually safe to walk on, but a crack across the slab often means the base moved. We look at whether a section replacement or a rebuild makes sense.
