Durable paver and stone patios built on engineered bases that last.
A paver patio in Austin means building on soil that changes from one block to the next. West of MoPac, you've got limestone bedrock and excellent drainage. East toward Mueller and downtown, the black gumbo clay wants to hold water and shift with the seasons. Corral Bros designs and builds patios that handle both-with proper excavation, compacted base work, and drainage-smart layout so your outdoor space stays level and solid for years, through flash rains and Texas heat.
Whether your lot is a tight Tarrytown quarter-acre or a sprawling Circle C property, we start with a free on-site estimate within 48 hours of your call. We'll look at the terrain, check your drainage, talk through travertine, flagstone, or pavers that fit your style and budget. We handle the whole job-base prep, edge restraint, polymeric sand, the whole system-so you get a patio that's built right, not just installed.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and paver patios that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Paver patio cost depends on the square footage, the paver or stone you choose, site prep, and any walls, steps or drainage. A simple patio is far more affordable than a large multi-level space. Corral Bros designs to your budget and gives a clear, itemized quote.
Pavers often outperform a poured slab over Central Texas expansive clay because individual units flex with soil movement and can be lifted and reset, while a slab is prone to cracking. Pavers also offer more design options and easier repairs.
Austin sits on two very different base rocks. West of MoPac, limestone drains fast and settles predictably. East of MoPac, clay expands and contracts with moisture, which cracks patios if the base isn't compacted right. We excavate deep enough and compact in layers to handle your specific lot, then slope for drainage. That's how patios stay level.
Ten to fifteen years minimum, often longer. Austin's heat, occasional freeze, and heavy rain test everything. A patio fails when water gets under it and lifts the base. We use proper grading, polymeric sand that locks joints, and base engineering built for your soil type. That's what makes the difference between a patio that lasts and one you're replacing.
Pavers are durable, come in colors and patterns, and easy to replace one if it cracks. Flagstone is irregular, rustic, beautiful-but uneven surfaces can be hazardous. Travertine is naturally cooler underfoot in summer and has a clean look. All three work here. We'll walk you through each during the estimate and help you pick what fits your home and maintenance tolerance.
Cost depends on size, materials, how much prep work your soil needs, and whether you want a basic layout or complex pattern. A small patio in Mueller costs less than a large one in Circle C with extensive grading. We give free estimates so you know the price before we start.

Yes, but it takes more engineering. Steep terrain means deeper excavation, terracing, and careful drainage to prevent water from running under the patio. It costs more up front, but a poorly built patio on slope fails fast. We've built plenty of them on Austin's western edge. Bring photos or just call us out-we'll tell you what's possible and what it takes.
Polymeric sand we use locks joints and resists weeds and bugs. Power wash yearly to keep it looking new. In dry spells, hose it down to prevent dust settling. Avoid harsh chemicals that break down polymeric sand. We can recommend sealing options too. A patio that's built right and maintained easy is one you'll actually enjoy using.
