Real build, real inputs. Rural site, sloped grade, Hunt County clay, and a same-day turnaround all factored into this specific number — and every project moves on its own inputs. Use the per-LF and per-SF standards above as a starting band; the case study shows what one specific scope actually looked like. Your walkway will be quoted on the site, materials, and finish choices we walk together.

Up and down — the honest answer.
Pushes price up
- Stamped finish (+$10/SF over standard broom)
- Rebar upgrade (reinforced slab at $17/SF vs standard $14/SF)
- Decorative stain and seal vs standard broom finish
- Larger footprint (every extra 100 SF adds material + crew time)
- Demo and haul-off of an existing slab
- Drainage correction or thickened-edge under exposed conditions
- Permits and city inspection coordination (driveways usually require it)
- Difficult access (no truck-pour route, hand-buggy or pump required)
Keeps price down
- Standard 4 in broom finish (most common, holds up well)
- Straight rectangular pour with no curves or borders
- Off-season scheduling (Nov–Feb)
- Existing site already at finish grade
- Single pour vs phased work
Common Cost Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a concrete patio cost in DFW?
Standard 4 in broom-finished patio is $14/SF over 300 SF (with a $4,500 minimum for smaller patios). Stamped concrete runs $24/SF. Reinforced (rebar grid) is $17/SF. Stained and sealed decorative finish is $22/SF. All-in pricing — labor, materials, forms, finishing, control joints, normal cleanup, and one-year workmanship warranty.
What about a driveway?
Driveway extensions and parking pads run $16/SF with a $5,500 minimum. Normal residential drive flatwork. Apron at the city right-of-way and any city inspection / permit work is line-itemed separately.
Why does rebar cost more than wire mesh?
Rebar is a proper structural grid sized to slab dimensions and soil-movement load; mesh is a single thin layer of welded wire that mostly just helps crack-control. In North Texas clay soil, slabs without proper rebar tend to crack and heave within a few years. The $17/SF reinforced slab vs $14/SF standard is paying for that long-term structural performance.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Walkable in 24–48 hours, driveable for a passenger vehicle at ~7 days, full strength at 28 days. Heavy loads (trucks, trailers, equipment) should wait the full 28 days. We give you a written cure schedule at handoff.
Do you handle demo of existing concrete?
Yes — line-itemed at $6/SF with a $2,750 minimum. Demo, haul-off, and sub-grade prep all included so you get one contract for the full sequence.
Why does North Texas clay soil matter?
Black-clay (vertisol) soils common across DFW shrink and swell dramatically with moisture changes. That movement is what cracks slabs poured on bad base. Our standard scope includes proper sub-grade compaction, engineered base material, rebar at calculated spacing, and saw-cut control joints. You're paying for what's under the slab as much as what's on top.
What's included in the price?
All i30 Builders full-project prices include normal mobilization, ordinary protection of adjacent areas, labor, standard materials listed in the scope, project coordination, normal cleanup, and a one-year workmanship warranty on the listed scope.
