Patio size, slope and surface
Every patio starts with the lot it sits on. About 78% of Oglesby's housing units, 160 of 206 in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates, are single-family detached houses. Volume comes first. Multiply the patio's thickness in feet by its width and length, then divide by 27 for cubic yards; at 4 inches thick, a 12 by 12 foot patio takes about 1.78 cubic yards of ready-mix. Joints then divide the slab into panels close to square, none longer than one and a half times its width, and NRMCA warns against L-shaped panels.
Fall matters as much as size. Under the International Residential Code, any paved surface within 10 feet of the foundation needs a fall of at least 2 percent away from the house. If a slab falls the wrong way, removal and replacement is usually the only fix, though slabjacking can sometimes return a slab to its slope when it sank because the base washed out from under it; see leveling a sunken slab for that job, and stamped finishes in Oglesby for a patterned top.
We found no patio permit rule for the City of Oglesby. That is a gap in what's published, not a sign that none applies, so check with the City before the forms go in. Other jobs are on our Oglesby page.

Measure and figure the yards
Thickness, width and length give the volume, and the fall away from the house is staked out.
Base, forms and joint plan
The base is compacted, the forms go up, and joints are laid out so every panel stays near square.
Pour, broom, cure
The slab is placed and broom-textured, then cured for at least seven days; sealer waits until 30 days after the pour.

Patio questions from Oglesby
What does it cost to seal a 10 by 20 foot patio?
About $250 to $600 in national 2025 figures, which put cleaning and sealing at $1 to $3 a square foot, with minimum service fees of $150 to $300. By type, acrylic sealer runs $1.00 to $2.00 a square foot installed and penetrating sealer $1.00 to $3.00.
Is there a written patio permit rule for Oglesby?
None that our research could find. The City has no website we could locate, and no code of ordinances turned up online. The Texas Municipal League lists the City at 120 Main St., so that is the place to ask before work starts.
Does a broom-textured patio shed rain as fast as a smooth one?
Not quite. Water tends to sit in the dips of a textured or stamped finish, so it drains more slowly than a smooth one, which is one reason the fall away from the house is set before the pour rather than fixed afterward.
