Concrete Patios in Crawford, TX
Concrete patios in Crawford, TX get a price from Waco Elite Concrete after four questions have answers: which way the slab falls from the house, how thick it must be for what sits on it, how it meets any old concrete and when the weather allows a pour; the estimate itself is free.

Four checks before a patio is poured
On slope, the 2024 International Residential Code says "impervious surfaces within 10 feet (3048 mm) of the building foundation shall be sloped not less than 2 percent away from the building." Which code edition Crawford enforces isn't on file here, so check that figure with the City. A slab already pitched toward the house, one published guide says, usually has to be replaced.
On thickness, the same guide sets a patio's floor at 4 inches and suggests going to 5 or 6 where heavy loads such as a hot tub or an outdoor concrete fireplace will sit.
On old concrete, the American Concrete Pavement Association's isolation joint between old and new pavement is ½ to 1 inch wide, filled top to bottom with a pre-formed strip. The fresh slab may not match the old one's color.
On timing, August's normal high at Waco is 97.1°F and July's 96.7°F (NOAA, 1991–2020), well above the 50°F to 80°F range concrete cures best in, so the pour date goes into the estimate.
A patterned top is covered under Crawford stamped concrete, the path out to it under sidewalk work in Crawford, and the Crawford services list has the rest.

Patio and pool deck questions
How much is it to build a pool deck?
National 2026 figures put a concrete pool deck at $6 to $18 or more a square foot: simple $6 to $11, custom $11 to $18 and elaborate $18 and up. With the average U.S. deck at 900 square feet, that comes to $5,400 to $16,200 or more.
Where can I find Crawford's permit fees for a patio?
At the office, the City's page says. The application form online is an image scan, which hides its list of work types and its fees. City Hall is at 6719 N. Lonestar Pkwy, and applications go to the City Secretary by email.
Does a broom finish cost extra on a patio?
It may not. National 2026 figures price a broom finish at $1 to $3 a square foot or include it in the base price.
