Hardscaping & Patios for Henderson yards
On the bigger Henderson lots there's room to add a fire pit area or a flagstone path out into the yard along with the patio. Every build gets an excavated, compacted crushed stone base, pitched away from the house so the new surface doesn't send water toward the slab. Most Henderson patio and hardscape projects come in between $3,100 and $9,100.
A patio is only as good as what's under it. We dig to the right depth, lay and compact a real base, and pitch the surface so water runs away from the foundation, not toward it. Our clay swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries, and a patio set on loose fill can look great in May and sink by August.

How the job goes
We build patios year-round in East Texas, and spring and fall book up first. Base work goes best in a dry stretch, because saturated clay won't compact. If you want to be sitting on it by a certain season, call a few weeks ahead.
Walk the site
We look at the slope, where water runs, how the space connects to the house, and how we'll get material in.
Plan and price it
You get a written, itemized estimate with the material, size and base spec. If you want to see it first, the $449 Hardscape Preview gives you layout renderings.
Dig and build the base
We excavate, lay and compact the base, and set the pitch so water sheds away from the house.
Lay the surface
Pavers or stone go down on the prepared base, cut to fit, with edging or borders to hold the field tight.
Finish and clean up
We fill the joints, restore the ground around the work, and haul off the spoil.

Hardscaping & Patios questions in Henderson
Can you build a fire pit with my patio in Henderson?
Yes. Fire pits, seating walls and flagstone paths can all go in with a patio. We lay out the whole space first so the fire pit sits a safe distance from the house and trees, and we build everything on the same compacted base.
How much does a paver patio cost in Henderson, TX?
Most patio and hardscape projects run $3,100 to $9,100. A small patio or walkway costs less, and a large outdoor living build with walls, a fire pit or a kitchen costs more. Square footage, the material you pick, and how much grading and base work the site needs drive the number. We walk it for free and send a written, itemized estimate.
What kind of hardscaping do you build?
Paver and flagstone patios, walkways and stepping-stone paths, fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, seating walls, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens with grill stations. Recent jobs include a flagstone walkway with path lighting and a checkerboard paver patio in Kilgore, and a Cherokee flagstone patio around a chopped stone fire pit in White Oak.
How long does a patio take to build?
Most residential patios and walkways take a few days to a couple of weeks. Size matters, but so does the ground. A site that needs grading or drainage work takes longer than a flat, open backyard, and a long wet stretch can push the dig back. You get a timeline in your written estimate before we start.
More we do in Henderson
Lawn Maintenance
Henderson lawns run from shaded St. Augustine in the older neighborhoods to open bermuda on newer and country lots, and each one gets mowed at its own height.
Tree & Shrub Care
Mature azaleas, camellias and dogwoods are a big part of Henderson yards, and they reward patience more than a hard hack.
Hedge Trimming
Older Henderson foundation hedges, like hollies, ligustrums and photinias, often get sheared flat on top until the bottoms go bare.
Leaf Removal
Between the oaks, pecans and pines on older Henderson lots, leaf season runs from October into winter, and pine straw keeps coming after the hardwoods are bare.
Drainage & Grading
Henderson's low spots and flat backyards hold water because rain stops at the clay under the sandy topsoil and has nowhere to go.
Landscaping
Landscaping an older Henderson home is often renovation: beds planted decades ago that have grown into the windows, lost their edges or thinned out under shade.
Fertilization
Like most of East Texas, Henderson lawns tend to run a little acidic from pine needles and rain, and fertilizer doesn't do much when the pH is off.
Tree Planting
When an older Henderson yard loses a big tree, the replacement should be picked for the next 50 years, not the next two.
