Houses, owners and pour-day weather
Of the city's 3,015 housing units, 1,487 are single-family detached houses and 64 are mobile homes, and 1,185 of its 2,681 occupied homes, about 44%, are owner-occupied (Census Bureau, 2020–2024 estimates).
Pour-day weather matters. Plastic shrinkage cracks, usually parallel and 1 to 3 feet apart, appear when the top of the slab dries out before the concrete has set, and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association names wind over 5 mph, low humidity and high temperatures as the conditions that raise the risk.
Ohio Concrete's industry recommendation sets 3½ inches as the usual minimum for a patio, which is simply the depth of the 2x4s used as forms.

Before the patio is poured
Which backyard projects are on Lacy Lakeview's permit list?
Patio covers, decks, fences, swimming pools and spas, and carports and canopies/covers all appear on it. The City says the list is not all-inclusive, so whether the patio slab itself needs a permit is a question for its inspections department.
How much should a patio slope away from the house?
A 2% grade, down and away from the house, for any patio slab within 10 feet of the foundation, says the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America guide. ENERGY STAR sets its recommended minimum at 0.25 inch per foot.
Why do patios heave on Blackland clay?
Because the clay moves with the weather. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension's Travis County office says Blackland Prairie clay soils shrink and swell as their moisture changes, opening wide cracks and heaving things like fence posts and patios.
