Durable paver and stone patios built on engineered bases that last.
Paver patios in San Antonio live or die by their base. Our caliche-heavy soils and limestone shelves demand engineered foundations that won't shift or crack when the Texas heat cycles through freeze-thaw swings and our occasional hard rains. We build paver and stone patios to stay put, whether you've got a tight in-town lot in Alamo Heights or acreage spreading across Stone Oak. The difference shows five years in.
We start with proper excavation and compacted base work, then lay pavers, flagstone, or travertine on polymeric sand with edge restraint that handles ground movement. Drainage matters on Bexar County ground, and we lay out every patio to shed water where it belongs, not into your foundation or back corner. Corral Bros is family-owned, licensed, and insured, and we schedule free on-site estimates usually within 48 hours so you can see exactly what's possible on your land.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Antonio property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and paver patios that holds up to Bexar 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.
Caliche and limestone shifts are the main culprits here. We excavate past the problem layer, compact the base in lifts, and use a polymeric sand mix that flexes with ground movement. Proper grading keeps water from pooling under the patio. Most failures we've seen came from skipping the right base work-we don't.
Cost depends on size, material choice (pavers, flagstone, or travertine), and site conditions. Caliche removal adds expense. We give you a no-obligation on-site estimate so you see the real numbers for your property. Call us at 737-404-9343 to schedule-usually within 48 hours.
Twenty-five years or more if the base is right. San Antonio's heat swings test the edges and joints, but quality pavers and polymeric sand hold up well. Poor base work fails in five to ten years. We engineer ours to handle what our climate throws at them.
Absolutely. Slope is an asset if we handle drainage right. We grade the patio to shed water downhill, often toward a drain line or swale. It keeps water from pooling or running toward the house. Sloped ground actually helps in the Hill Country and newer subdivisions.
Yes. We work through material selection, color, and layout during the estimate. We talk through how the patio fits your yard, how sun hits it, and how water moves. Then we excavate, build the base, and lay the pavers ourselves. Design and build, start to finish.
Pavers are durable, come in many colors, and suit formal layouts. Flagstone is irregular and natural, great for rustic or period homes. Travertine is heat-reflective and slip-resistant, ideal for hot San Antonio sun. We'll walk you through looks and performance for your specific yard.
