Outdoor Living Space Built for North Texas Weather
Spades Pools designs custom patios for homeowners throughout Garland, TX. Every patio is built around how the homeowner actually plans to use the space, whether that means entertaining, dining, or connecting a pool deck to the rest of the yard. Grading, drainage, and material selection are handled as part of every project, since a patio’s long-term durability depends on the work that happens before the surface ever goes down.
As a family, locally owned company, Spades Pools serves Garland and the surrounding DFW communities with custom patio design and construction. Every build is completed in-house, which means consistent oversight from the first consultation to the final walkthrough. The goal is a patio that holds up to North Texas weather, not just one that looks good on installation day.
Patio pricing depends on size, material choice, site conditions, and whether the project ties into a larger build like a pool or outdoor kitchen. Rather than quoting a flat rate that would not actually reflect your yard, we walk your property first and give you a clear, specific estimate based on what you actually need built.
We believe a patio build should be collaborative, transparent, and free of surprises. Here is what you can expect from start to finish.
We walk your property, discuss how you plan to use the space, whether for entertaining, dining, or connecting to a pool, and talk through material options and layout.
We put together a layout that fits your yard’s dimensions and use case, including sizing, material selection, and how the patio ties into existing structures or landscaping.
We prepare the base properly, including grading and drainage planning, since a patio is only as good as the foundation underneath it.
Our in-house team handles the full build, from base work to final surface installation, with consistent oversight throughout.
Before we consider the project complete, we walk the finished patio with you to confirm it matches what was planned.
A properly designed and built patio comes with benefits that go beyond curb appeal.
A well-built patio effectively adds usable square footage to your home, ideal for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing outside.
Proper grading and drainage planning prevent pooling, cracking, and erosion that poorly built patios in this climate often experience.
Outdoor living space is a strong selling point in the current market, and a well-built patio is one of the more visible ways to add it.
A thoughtfully designed patio connects a pool, outdoor kitchen, or landscaping into one cohesive space, rather than feeling like disconnected additions.
Quality materials and proper installation mean less cracking, shifting, and repair work down the road.
Material choice affects both the look and the long-term durability of your patio. Stamped concrete offers a budget-friendly option with a wide range of finish styles, while natural stone and pavers tend to hold up better over time and are easier to repair individually if damage occurs. Flagstone and travertine are popular for pool-adjacent patios since they stay cooler underfoot in Texas heat compared to some concrete finishes.
We will walk you through the tradeoffs in cost, maintenance, and appearance for each material based on your specific project and budget.
Not sure if now is the right time? Here are common signs.
Shifting, cracking, or pooling water are signs the base was not properly prepared, and patching rarely fixes the underlying issue long term.
Building or updating a patio alongside a larger project ensures everything is designed to work together instead of being added piecemeal.
If your current patio is too small for how you actually want to use your backyard, an expansion or rebuild solves that directly.
If your backyard feels like an afterthought, a well-planned patio is often the single most impactful addition you can make.
