Hardscaping covers everything outside your home that doesn't grow: concrete driveways, brick walkways, stone patios, retaining walls, and decorative borders. The cost to replace or install concrete hardscape depends on the square footage, the material you choose, the condition of the existing base, and whether we're working around obstacles like tree roots, drainage lines, or grade changes. Projects range from a single driveway slab to a full outdoor living footprint. PPB Roofs And Restoration handles it all in-house, fully insured, with a 10- to 25-year warranty depending on scope. Call (832) 386-9606 and we'll walk your property and give you a straight read on what the job actually involves.

Concrete repair and replacement cost per square foot shifts based on thickness, mix spec, reinforcement, and finish. A basic broom-finish driveway costs very differently from stamped concrete with color integral or an exposed aggregate patio. What drives cost up: poor soil conditions that need compaction or gravel base work, tight access that slows pour logistics, decorative finishes, and drainage corrections. What keeps cost down: straightforward rectangular pours on stable ground with standard finish. We design hardscapes before we price them, so you know exactly what you're getting. Every job is different -- contact PPB Roofs And Restoration for an accurate estimate.

What We Build

Hardscape Work We Handle

One crew, one call, for the full exterior footprint.

01

Concrete Driveways

New pours, full tear-out and replacement, or section repairs. We form, reinforce, pour, and finish. Expansion joints placed correctly so heat cycles don't crack the slab in year two.

02

Patios and Outdoor Living Slabs

Level, properly sloped patio slabs that drain away from the foundation. Works directly with our patio and outdoor living designs so the hardscape and the structure line up on day one.

03

Walkways and Paths

Concrete, brick, or paver walkways from the street to the door, or between outdoor structures. We set the base right so the surface doesn't settle unevenly after the first heavy rain.

04

Retaining Walls

Block or poured retaining walls for grade changes, garden beds, or driveway borders. Drainage is built into every wall we construct -- a wall without drainage is a wall that will fail.

05

Decorative Concrete Finishes

Stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, broom finish, or smooth trowel. We bring samples so you can see what the surface looks like before we pour anything.

06

Concrete Resurfacing

If the existing slab is structurally sound but cracked or faded, resurfacing is a legitimate repair option. We'll tell you honestly if the base is worth saving or if tear-out is the smarter call.

Our Process

How We Run a Hardscape Project

  1. Property Walk and Design

    We walk the site with you, check soil conditions, drainage slopes, and existing materials. You get a clear scope, a real design through our hardscape design tool, and no surprises at the pour.

  2. Site Prep and Base Work

    Demo, grading, and compaction happen before any form gets set. This is where cheap contractors cut corners and why slabs fail. We don't skip base prep to win a bid.

  3. Pour, Finish, and Cure

    Forms set, concrete poured to spec, finished to your chosen texture, and properly cured before you drive or walk on it. We clean the site and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave.

Straight Answers

What Drives Hardscape Costs Up or Down

  1. 01

    Square footage and thickness

    A 4-inch residential driveway slab costs less per square foot than a 6-inch commercial-grade pour. Bigger footprints cost more. Simple math -- but the base prep cost doesn't always scale the same way.

  2. 02

    Existing material removal

    If there's old concrete to break out and haul, that's real labor and disposal cost. The condition of what's underneath matters too -- soft or unstable soil adds compaction and base material.

  3. 03

    Access and logistics

    Tight side yards, low fences, or landscaping that needs protection all slow pour day down. Easy access to the pour location keeps the job moving and cost controlled.

  4. 04

    Finish level and decorative work

    Broom finish is standard. Stamped concrete, color integral, exposed aggregate, or sealer coats all add time and material cost. Worth it for high-visibility areas, not always for a back utility pad.

Why PPB Handles Both Roofing and Hardscaping

An outdoor patio with fire pit feature, not roofing contractor work or products.
Most roofing companies stop at the fascia. Most hardscape crews don't know what's above their head. We do both, which means when you're replacing a roof and rebuilding a driveway or patio in the same project, there's one conversation, one schedule, and one crew accountable for the whole thing. That's not common. It's why reviewers mention both sides of the business by name. PPB is fully insured, Latinx-owned, and has carried a 5-star rating across 54 Google reviews. The same accountability we bring to a residential roofing project carries over to the slab poured in your driveway. Financing is available for larger hardscape projects -- ask when you call. We won't upsell you on decorative finishes you didn't ask for. If a resurfacing job is the right fix, we'll say so instead of quoting a tear-out.

Our Commitment on Every Project

What you get with every PPB hardscape job.

  • Fully insured crew on every job

    Not subcontracted. The people who show up are PPB.

  • 10-25 year warranty on qualifying work

    Scope-dependent. We explain exactly what's covered before we start.

  • Design consultation before any pricing

    We walk the site. No guessing. No generic square-foot bids over the phone.

  • Site cleanup before final walkthrough

    We don't leave forms, concrete debris, or rebar on your property.

Hardscaping Questions

What is hardscaping and how is it different from landscaping?
Hardscaping covers the built, non-living elements of your exterior: concrete slabs, pavers, retaining walls, walkways, and similar structures. Landscaping covers plants, grass, and irrigation. A complete outdoor space usually has both, but the construction methods, materials, and contractors are different. We handle the hardscape side.
Is it better to repair a cracked concrete driveway or replace it completely?
Depends on what caused the cracking. Surface cracks from thermal cycling on a solid slab can often be repaired or resurfaced. Cracks from base failure, root intrusion, or settling usually indicate the slab itself needs to come out. We look at the base condition first, not just the surface, before recommending either direction.
How long does a concrete driveway pour take from demo to use?
Demo and base prep typically happen the day before or the morning of the pour. The pour itself on a standard two-car driveway usually takes a single day. Concrete needs 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and ideally 7 days before vehicle load. We'll give you the exact timeline when we scope the job.
What's the difference between stamped concrete and pavers for a patio?
Stamped concrete is one monolithic pour with a decorative texture pressed in before it cures. Pavers are individual units set in sand or mortar over a prepared base. Stamped concrete is typically faster and less expensive upfront. Pavers are easier to repair individually and tolerate ground movement better. Neither is always the right answer -- it depends on the site and budget.
Do retaining walls need drainage built in, and why does it matter?
Yes. A retaining wall without drainage behind it will hold water against the structure. Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil is the number one cause of retaining wall failure in this region, where heavy rain events are common. We install weep holes and gravel drainage aggregate behind every wall we build. Skip that step and the wall won't survive a full season.
Can hardscaping work be combined with roof or gutter projects?
Yes, and it usually makes logistical sense to sequence them together. Roof work first, then hardscape -- that way we're not pouring concrete under active construction. If you're also dealing with drainage that affects both the roof runoff and the yard grade, combining a gutter installation with a hardscape project lets us address water management as one system rather than two separate calls.
How long does a concrete driveway pour take from demo to when I can drive on it?
Demo and base prep typically happen the day before or morning of the pour. The pour itself on a standard two-car driveway usually finishes in a single day. Concrete needs 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and ideally 7 days before vehicle load. We'll give you the exact timeline when we scope the job.
Do retaining walls need drainage built in?
Yes, and skipping it is how walls fail. Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil behind a wall with no drainage outlet is the leading cause of retaining wall collapse in this region. We install weep holes and gravel aggregate behind every wall we build. A wall without that built in won't survive a full Texas rainy season.
What drives the cost to replace or repair concrete hardscape?
Square footage, slab thickness, existing material removal, soil and base condition, site access, and finish level all affect cost. A plain broom-finish driveway on stable ground costs far less than stamped concrete on a site with poor drainage and an existing slab to demo. Every job is different -- contact PPB Roofs And Restoration for an accurate estimate.
Can hardscape projects be financed?
Yes. Financing is available for qualifying projects. Call (832) 386-9606 to ask about options when we talk through your scope. We don't publish financing terms here because they vary by project size and approval -- the conversation starts with what you're trying to build.
