Concrete Patios in Granbury, TX
Leal's Welding & Construction forms, pours and finishes backyard patios around the back door. One crew, from the first stake to the last trowel pass.
What goes into a concrete patio from Leal's?
A Leal's concrete patio starts at the back door and works out from there. In Granbury, TX, Santos and his crew first talk through how you will use the space, then set wood forms to the shape and size you picked and grade the base inside them. A vapor barrier and a rebar grid go down before any concrete arrives, the same steps we use on bigger slabs. Then comes the pour, and the crew screeds, floats and edges the surface by hand. Many patios tie into something else: a walk out to the driveway, an extension off an existing slab, a step down to the yard. Forming those pieces together lets the concrete meet cleanly where they join. And because Leal's welds metal as well as pours concrete, the slab can be planned for a cover later. You get one crew and one number to call.
Plan for a cover later
A patio slab is often the first step toward a metal patio cover. Shade is the thing most people want once the concrete is down, and a welded cover with posts and a metal roof is how Leal's builds it.
You do not have to buy both at once. Tell us a cover is coming and we lay the patio out with it in mind, so the posts have a place to land. Leal's welds covers too, so the same crew can come back for the metal.

Questions to answer before the pour
Size and shape
Think about how you use the yard. A square pad and a pad with a curve or a step suit different yards, so start with where people will actually stand and sit.
Grills and seating
Count the chairs, the table and the grill. Leave room to walk around them, and keep the grill spot clear of the back door.
Drainage
Water should run away from the house. Notice where it goes in your yard now, and we plan the fall of the slab around that.
Doors and walks
Where does the patio meet the door, and where do you walk from there? A tie-in to a walk or the driveway is easiest to form in the same pour.
Future cover posts
If a metal cover might come later, say so now. Knowing where the posts will land lets us plan the slab before the concrete goes in.
Concrete patio FAQ
What affects the price of a concrete patio?
The size of the patio is the biggest driver, then how much ground work the yard needs, whether the lot is flat or sloped, and how much extra shape the design has, like steps or a walk extension. Access for the crew matters too. A small patio and a large one behind a Granbury house are different jobs. Tell us the size and the spot, and we will give you a quote.
Can you extend my existing patio?
Ask us. We look at the old slab first, because how it sits and what shape it is in decides how new concrete should meet it. Leal's forms and pours concrete patios around Granbury, TX, and once we have seen the slab or a few photos of it, we will tell you what makes sense for your yard.
Can a metal cover go over the patio later?
Yes, and that is a common plan. Leal's welds metal covers as well as pours concrete patios in Granbury, TX, so we can plan where the posts will land before the pour, or look at an existing slab and work from there. If you think a cover is coming, tell us up front and we will lay the patio out with it in mind.
How do you handle drainage near the house?
We slope the slab away from the house so water runs off the patio instead of toward the wall. The crew sets the forms and grades the base to that fall before the pour. Every yard in Granbury sits a little differently, so we look at the lay of the ground around your back door first and talk through where the water should go.
What areas do you pour patios in?
Leal's is based in Granbury, TX and pours concrete patios in Granbury, Weatherford, Stephenville, Cleburne, Glen Rose, Joshua and Fort Worth. If your yard is somewhere in that range, send the town with your quote request and we will tell you if it fits.
