Paver Patios in McKinney, TX

Paver patio projects in McKinney start around $5,000. The number moves with square footage, the paver or stone you choose, and how much base and drainage work the site needs before the first paver is set. In North Texas clay the base is the real project; the pavers are the finish.

McKinney projects are priced on scope rather than a flat rate, and we put the full number in writing before work starts. After the site walk you get a fixed-scope proposal, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. For a full price breakdown, see our how much does a paver patio cost in mckinney guide.

A patio is only as good as its base, and in McKinney that means building for Collin County clay that swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. The town gives us two kinds of lots. Near the historic downtown square, older yards come with mature trees and tired concrete to work around, and a new patio should look like it belongs to the house. In the newer master-planned neighborhoods like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls, the starting point is usually a builder-grade slab and an HOA that reviews the design before work starts. We plan each patio for the street it is actually on.

Most McKinney paver patios run $5,000-$40,000. A modest patio on a proper base runs $5,000-$14,000, a larger one with a seat wall, premium pavers, or steps runs $15,000-$25,000, and an expansive patio with a fire feature, kitchen, and lighting runs $26,000-$40,000+. Installed pavers in DFW run $18 to $40 per square foot, and after the site walk you get a fixed-scope proposal. The full breakdown is in our McKinney paver patio cost guide.

The base is where a patio lasts or fails. Clay moves with the seasons, so base depth, compaction, edge restraint, and a surface that sheds water off the patio and away from the house matter more than the pavers on top. Our guide to building a patio base on clay walks through each layer.

Replacing an old concrete patio is common here. Removing the slab adds $3 to $6 per square foot, and the demo, haul-off, and new base are broken out as their own lines in the proposal.

Many McKinney neighborhoods review patio plans before work starts. We prepare the design drawings for the architectural review submittal so the board sees a complete plan. Whether a city permit also applies depends on the project; our answer on patio and outdoor kitchen permits in Texas covers the basics.

Seat walls, steps, lighting, and a fire pit are the add-ons that come up most. See our fire pits and fireplaces and landscape lighting, and for a patio on a grade, the McKinney retaining wall cost guide.

McKinney spans everything from historic in-town lots to large master-planned communities, we tailor each design to the neighborhood's character and HOA standards.

McKinney blends historic charm with rapid growth, from the tree-lined streets near its celebrated downtown square to the newer luxury communities on the west side. That mix means everything from mature-yard renovations to ground-up landscape design.

We help McKinney homeowners get the most from both: refreshing established landscapes with new hardscape and lighting, and designing complete outdoor living spaces for newer homes, all built to thrive in Collin County's clay soils.

We work throughout McKinney, including Stonebridge Ranch, Adriatica Village, Tucker Hill, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls. That covers 75070, 75071, 75072. Our crews are regularly near Historic Downtown McKinney Square, Adriatica Village, Towne Lake Park, so we know these streets rather than just the address, and we also serve McKinney's neighbors: the surrounding metroplex.

Expect excavation to stable soil, a compacted gravel base, and drainage planned before pattern and color ever come up. Most patios take one to two weeks on site, and we leave the yard clean, graded, and ready to use. Everything above is part of the fixed scope we quote for paver patio work in McKinney, so there is no drip of add-ons once the crew is on site.

It depends on square footage, material, and add-ons like seat walls or fire features. We'll give you a fixed, no-guesswork quote after a site visit.

No. Because pavers are individual units set on a flexible base, they move with the soil instead of cracking the way a poured slab does.

Pavers offer the widest style range and value, travertine stays cooler underfoot, and flagstone gives an organic, high-end look. Your designer will help you choose.

It starts with a free on-site consultation. We walk your McKinney property with you, talk through what you want the paver patio to do, and take the measurements and grade readings the design depends on. From there you get real numbers and a fixed-scope proposal, not a vague estimate that moves once the work starts.

We are in McKinney regularly, around Adriatica Village and out toward Tucker Hill, so scheduling the walk usually takes days rather than weeks.

Yes. Where a McKinney community requires architectural review, we prepare the submittal drawings as part of the project, so approval happens before the crew arrives rather than after a violation letter does.

One team designs it, builds it, and stands behind everything underneath it, which matters most in Collin County, where the clay punishes shortcuts you cannot see. Learn more about paver patios across DFW or everything we build in McKinney.
