Is stamped concrete a good choice for a patio?

Yes, stamped concrete is a popular choice for many patio projects. It gives the appearance of natural materials while keeping the strength of concrete. Several patterns and colors are available to match different properties. It also creates an attractive outdoor living space with less maintenance than individual pavers.

Does San Marcos Custom Concrete replace old concrete patios?

The replacement patio is built to fit the surrounding property. We also discuss options for expanding the space during the project.

How big can a concrete patio be?

Concrete patio construction can create patios ranging from small 10-by-10-foot areas to large custom outdoor living spaces over 1,000 square feet. Our team builds patios in different sizes to fit residential and commercial properties. The ideal size depends on how you plan to use the space and your available outdoor area.

What Does My Concrete Project Cost?

Concrete is priced by the square foot of the pour itself — length × width of the slab, driveway, or deck. Here are the ranges we see on real jobs around San Marcos, and a calculator built on the same numbers.

Concrete Driveway

A standard two-car driveway is 20×20 ft — 400 sq ft — and at 4 inches with a plain broom finish it runs about $3,000–$4,600 around San Marcos. Six inches for RVs and work trucks, stamped or exposed finishes, and tearing out the old driveway each move the number up from there. Every price here includes the compacted base — Central Texas clay swells and shrinks with the weather, so the base has to be built right or the slab moves with it.

Concrete Patio

A 20×20 patio at 4 inches, broom finish, runs about $2,400–$4,400. Stamped and exposed-aggregate finishes are the popular upgrades here — they can add half again to the plain price. Six inches goes under hot tubs and outdoor kitchens.

Slabs & Foundations

A two-car garage slab, 24×24 ft at 4 inches, runs $3,744–$5,760. Foundation-grade work — 6 inches, thickened edge, rebar, vapor barrier — prices higher per foot and is the spec a house or addition actually needs.

Pool Decks

Pool decks price like patios with three additions: coping edges at the water, drains that move splash water away, and a slip-resistant finish. A 400 sq ft deck runs about $2,600–$4,600 in a broom finish; cool-deck coatings and stamped finishes sit above that.

Repair & Resurfacing

Small concrete work is priced by the visit more than the square foot. Replacing one cracked or heaved section runs $11–$19 per sq ft with the demo of that section included; resurfacing a sound slab runs $3.50–$6.50. If a section has sunk, heaved, or cracked clean through, resurfacing is paint on a problem — we'll say so at the look.

What Moves the Price

Finish. Plain broom is the baseline. Stamped, exposed aggregate, and stained finishes add materials and skilled labor — stamped work can run close to double a plain pour.
Thickness. Four inches is standard for cars and foot traffic. Six inches — for RVs, work trucks, hot tubs — uses half again as much concrete on every square foot.
Tear-out. Breaking out and hauling off old concrete is its own line, priced per square foot on top of the new pour.
Job size. Small pours carry a minimum charge and short-load fees from the concrete plant; on big pours the setup spreads over more feet.
Ground. Central Texas clay swells when it is wet and shrinks hard in a drought, and that movement cracks slabs that were poured on a thin base. Base work is in every price here — it is not an extra.

Where these numbers come from. Published Central Texas cost guides — Angi's Austin slab and driveway guides, HomeBlue's San Marcos slab guide, BuildX Pro's Austin driveway data, and Austin contractor pricing guides — gathered November 2026, on top of the national guides (HomeGuide, Angi, Fixr) behind the fleet concrete card. The full research note is on file with the site records.

A note on materials. These ranges figure a standard 4-inch pour of 3,500-psi concrete on a compacted base, broom finish. Decorative finishes — stamped, exposed aggregate, stained — add materials and skilled labor, and 6-inch work uses half again as much concrete on every square foot. Tell us what the slab has to carry and we'll confirm the spec and the exact price at the in-person estimate, before any work starts.
