Durable paver and stone patios built on engineered bases that last.
A paver patio in San Marcos means a place built to handle both the spring-fed moisture that rises from the ground here and the actual living you do outside. Whether you are updating a river-view property in Blanco Gardens, expanding a Willow Creek rental, or enjoying retirement in Kissing Tree, the base matters. Thin soils and seasonal water mean your patio needs engineered drainage and real compaction, not just sand and wish-thinking.
Corral Bros builds patios the way the land here demands. We excavate deep enough to account for what moves underground, set a compacted base that stays put, and lay paver, flagstone, or travertine with polymeric sand and proper edge restraint. The result holds up year after year, even when the San Marcos summer heat arrives or the spring rains soak in from below.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and paver patios that holds up to Hays 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.
San Marcos sits on spring-fed riverland with thin upland soils that hold water. A patio built without proper slope and subsurface drainage will heave, crack, or settle unevenly. We design drainage into every layout and use compacted bases that shed water instead of trapping it. This matters more here than almost anywhere else.
Travertine stays cooler underfoot in summer heat and handles our moisture cycles well. Flagstone reads as solid and works in both river-view properties and active-adult communities. Pavers give you color choice and predictable durability. Corral Bros helps you pick based on your soil type, sun exposure, and how you will actually use the space.
Cost depends on size, material grade, site access, and excavation depth. We give free, no-obligation on-site estimates that spell out every phase. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule yours within 48 hours. We will walk the site and give you a real number, not guesswork.
A patio built on engineered base with proper drainage lasts 20+ years in San Marcos conditions. Pavers and flagstone do not rot or warp. Polymeric sand locks edges tight and resists water migration. We build to hold. Maintenance is light: occasional sweeping and edge-sand top-ups.
Yes. Riverland properties need extra attention to subsurface water and seasonal fluctuation. Upland soils require deeper excavation to reach stable ground. We assess each site in Blanco Gardens, Willow Creek, or Kissing Tree individually and build the base accordingly. That is why the on-site estimate matters.
Pavers over an existing slab are possible if the slab is sound and slopes correctly. Most San Marcos properties benefit from full excavation and fresh base-building. We evaluate what you have and recommend the approach that lasts longest in your specific soil and water situation.
