Commercial concrete patios create valuable outdoor spaces for restaurants, hotels, retail centers, and office complexes across Dallas-Fort Worth. Property owners and developers use patio construction to expand usable square footage, enhance amenity offerings, and create revenue-generating outdoor dining and gathering areas.
Our approach to commercial patios integrates structural design for building attachment, proper drainage away from structures, and surface treatments appropriate for the intended use. Restaurant patios require different specifications than hotel pool areas or office complex gathering spaces.
For restaurants, outdoor dining patios face heavy table/chair traffic, food and beverage spills, and cleaning requirements. We specify sealed surfaces resistant to staining, proper slopes for drainage and cleaning, and finishes that balance slip resistance with cleanability.
Hotel and hospitality patios often incorporate decorative elements including stamped patterns, integral color, or exposed aggregate. These installations combine aesthetic appeal with durability for guest use, furniture loads, and maintenance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can commercial patios attach to existing buildings?
- Yes, we coordinate patio attachment to existing structures including proper flashing, expansion joints, and drainage details preventing water intrusion. Structural attachment accommodates building movement without patio cracking.
- What surface finishes work best for restaurant patios?
- Restaurant patios benefit from sealed broom finish or light texture providing slip resistance when wet while remaining cleanable. Stamped concrete works well when properly sealed for stain resistance.
- Do commercial patios require special drainage?
- Yes, patios must slope away from buildings at minimum 2% and often include drainage inlets or edge drains. We coordinate drainage with civil engineering requirements and building code specifications.
- Can patios be covered or enclosed later?
- Yes, we can design patio structures to accommodate future covering or enclosure including reinforcement for post attachments and utilities roughed for future needs.
