Our Patio Services
Concrete Patio Installation
We specialize in pouring and finishing concrete patios that offer durability, clean aesthetics, and long-term reliability. Ideal for flat backyard spaces, our concrete patios are available in smooth, brushed, or stamped finishes. Each installation is carefully leveled and reinforced to prevent cracking and withstand weather conditions. We also offer decorative scoring and color tinting for added visual interest and customization.
Paver and Stone Patios
Natural stone and paver patios bring an elegant, rustic charm to homes. Each piece is carefully placed for long-term stability and visual harmony, enhancing the natural beauty of your property. We use high-quality materials such as travertine, flagstone, and interlocking pavers that are both slip-resistant and easy to maintain.
Covered Patios and Pergolas
To combat the intense sun, we design and build covered patios and pergolas that provide necessary shade while complementing your home’s exterior. We offer a variety of roof styles, including gabled, flat, and lattice-top, using materials that match or accent your home. Optional lighting, ceiling fans, and privacy screens add comfort and functionality to your shaded outdoor area.
Patio Extensions and Additions
We offer seamless patio extensions for expanding usable outdoor areas, ensuring the new addition blends with your existing layout and material palette. Whether you want to add square footage for a dining area, hot tub, or fire feature, we engineer every extension to integrate structurally and aesthetically. Grading, drainage, and concrete matching are all meticulously handled.
Outdoor Kitchen Integration
When paired with built-in kitchens, patios become the ultimate hosting destination. Whether it’s a full-service cooking station or a minimalist bar area, we design for performance and weather resistance. Plumbing, gas, and electrical needs are professionally coordinated for convenience and code compliance.
Fire Pits and Seating Walls
We construct fire pits and custom seating walls from heat-resistant materials. These features add functionality and ambiance, turning your patio into a year-round social hub. Seating walls are crafted from stone or brick to offer permanent, weatherproof solutions for group seating and entertaining.
Benefits of Installing a Patio
Expands Your Living Space
A patio acts as an outdoor extension of your home, offering a comfortable space to relax, dine, or entertain guests. It provides a natural flow between your indoor and outdoor areas. Whether it’s sunny mornings with coffee or evening gatherings, a patio becomes a go-to space year-round.
Boosts Property Value
Well-designed patios increase curb appeal and overall property value. Homebuyers often view them as premium features that enhance outdoor living potential. A functional and attractive patio can give your home a competitive edge in the real estate market.

Enhances Aesthetic Appeal
A well-crafted patio can dramatically elevate the visual appeal of your yard. Choose from a wide range of materials, colors, and layouts to complement your home’s style. It adds charm, structure, and dimension to your overall landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a patio?
Most patio installations in Livingston and nearby towns take one to two weeks, depending on the size, complexity, and weather conditions during the project. Custom features like fire pits or outdoor kitchens may add a few extra days. We always provide a project timeline up front.
What materials are best for East Texas weather?
Concrete, stone, and pavers perform best in East Texas’s climate, offering heat resistance, longevity, and easy maintenance in both humid summers and mild winters. These materials also stand up well to rainfall and soil movement, making them ideal for homes in Polk County.

Absolutely. We design patios that integrate seamlessly with your current home architecture, whether you live in Goodrich, Corrigan, or elsewhere in the area. Our goal is to make the new space look like it was always part of the original build.

Testimonials
We had to have our shingles replaced, the entire outside of our home had to be fixed from repairs on rotten siding, to painting the entire house and replacing the underpinning. We also had a front porch built. I highly recommend LL Contractors.

Lee’s crew was very professional and prompt. They throughly cleaned up and left us with a beautiful roof. He also leveled our home. Top both, highly recommended.
Ronda S.
My roof needed some minor repairs & the crew with LL Contractors did an excellent job. They were even able to match the current shingles on my roof. You can’t even tell that section of the roof had any work done to it. Lee kept me informed as to his crew’s arrival & they completed the job within a couple of hours. I highly recommend LL Contractors for small roofing jobs.
Dawn L.
LL Contractors did a fantastic job installing a new roof on my house. The price was resonable, they were on time, finished the job in one day. Lee, the owner came when he said he would, was very professional, and gave me advice on metal trim color to go with the new roof. I would highly recommend LL Contractors for your next roof.
Steven L.
I called Lee after our recent windstorms to inspect the Lakehouse roof because he has all 5-stars. He came out and checked right away. Hdefinitely har the opportunity to tell me to our 18-year-old roof needs replacing but said it looks fine and has another 10-12 years left. VERY TRUSTWORTHY.
