Patios beside houses and manufactured homes
The median Mount Calm home was built in about 1992, by the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates, and no homes sit in buildings of five or more units.
Beside a manufactured home, the state's generic installation standards keep at least 18 inches between the ground and the bottom of the floor joists, and the state's rules watch for water under the home, as the first question below explains. Beside a house, the International Residential Code slopes paving within 10 feet of the foundation down and away from it by at least 2 percent.
For a pattern pressed into the surface, see a stamped patio; a walk out to the patio is its own job, and Mount Calm concrete services lists the rest.

Place, texture, cure
Concrete goes in, takes a broom texture for grip and is kept curing through its first days.

Patio drainage and joint questions
Which way should a patio beside a manufactured home drain?
Away from it. Texas's installation rules say water build-up under a manufactured home "may cause shifting or settling of the foundation", and they make drainage the installer's job for a new home and the consumer's job for a used one, rental communities aside.
How wide is the joint between a new patio and an old slab?
Half an inch to 1 inch, by the American Concrete Pavement Association's guidance on isolation joints between old and new pavement. The joint runs the full depth and is filled with a pre-formed joint filler.
Is a 1 percent fall enough for a patio?
In a hot, dry climate it often is, one published guide says: 1%, or ⅛ inch per foot. Its general rule is at least 2%, a ¼-inch drop per foot, which takes a patio reaching 10 feet from the house down 2½ inches.
