Patio and Pool Deck Design & Build in Houston, TX

Our biggest strength is a commitment to two related issues: installation quality and customer satisfaction for our Houston customers. We remain committed to ensuring every stage of the process is carefully outlined. We’ll have a thorough pre-job walk-through. All the necessary Houston permits will be secured, drainage and irrigation considered, inspections arranged, HOA approval received, layout confirmed and, finally, work can begin. After completion, your project manager will perform a post-job walk-through.

We’ll use samples ahead of time to help you find the perfect look for you and your home.

We’re a member of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. You can relax knowing that we have done our homework so that you don’t have to. We have gone to great lengths to keep ourselves up to date on installation training and methods unique to Houston so that we make sure that every project is installed the way we’d want it in our own backyard.

Not typically. Because pavers consist of small, high-density units, they resist the long, unsightly cracks that can mar ordinary concrete.

Yes. Inch for inch, pavers are stronger and more durable than conventional surfacing materials. Pavers can easily handle the daily weight stressors of cars and trucks. In fact, they are currently being installed on airport runways!

At Allied, a typical pour has a 4" slab of concrete, 3/8" rebar on 18" centers and the slope determined by the on-site foreman. We'll also take into consideration things like thicker concrete at the approach, drains that need to be installed, and sprinkler issues.

Depending on your environment, we can utilize an overlay system, remove and replace, or start from scratch. For a standard remove and replace, paver installation begins with the demolition of the existing surface. The existing hardscape—be it concrete, stone, or pavers—is removed. We then excavate down another 4"-6" to create an 8"-10" paver system. Your area will be built back up using a stabilized and compacted base material. We then apply a small amount of bedding sand to your pavers for the perfect base. An edge restraint is poured around the outside to help keep everything intact. Once the pavers are laid, we carefully fill the joints with polymeric sand—it looks like grout and will help inhibit weed growth and prevent sand loss and joint erosion.

Because we are one of the few contractors across the state to be recognized by Belgard, the homeowner is rewarded with a lifetime warranty on the paver itself. While a paver is a durable product to begin with, it must be installed by an authorized contractor in order to have the backing of the warranty given. The correct installation of the paver is what gives it its longevity.

A decorative concrete surface should be re-sealed every year or so to maintain its original elegance. Other concrete surfaces can be re-sealed less frequently, once every three years or so.

We offer a 2 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime product warranty on any Belgard paver installation.
