Quality concrete work adds function, value, and curb appeal to any property. OBS Clear provides professional concrete services for residential properties throughout Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, Plano, Little Elm, Flower Mound, Southlake, Highland Village, Grapevine, Denton, Aubrey, Celina, Lantana and across North Texas. From new patio pours to sidewalk installation and decorative finishes, our concrete work is built on proper preparation, quality materials, and attention to detail.
Concrete patios create outdoor living space that extends your home's usable square footage. We pour patios with a minimum 4-inch slab thickness on a compacted base, reinforced with steel rebar or wire mesh to prevent cracking. Our finishing options range from smooth trowel to broom finish for slip resistance.
Decorative concrete finishes transform basic gray slabs into architectural features. Stamped concrete can replicate natural stone, brick, slate, or wood planks. Exposed aggregate creates slip-resistant surfaces perfect for pool decks. Stained concrete creates rich, variegated color effects.
Why Choose Professional Concrete Services?
Built on Proper Prep
Compacted base, steel reinforcement, and proper grading ensure your concrete withstands North Texas soil conditions and weather.

Every pour meets or exceeds local building codes for thickness, slope, and reinforcement requirements.
Permit Handling
We manage the entire permit process for your project — one less thing for you to worry about.
Expansion Joint Control

Timely Completion
Most residential concrete projects are completed within 3-7 days from excavation to final cure.
Our Process
Site Preparation & Excavation
We mark the layout, excavate to proper depth, and install forms that define the shape and edges of your concrete.
Base & Reinforcement
A compacted gravel base is installed for drainage. Steel rebar or wire mesh reinforcement is placed to control cracking.
Pour & Finish
Concrete is poured, leveled, and finished to your chosen texture — smooth trowel, broom finish, stamped pattern, or exposed aggregate.
Curing & Joint Cutting
Expansion joints are cut within 24 hours to control where cracking occurs. The concrete cures to full strength over 28 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches approximately 70% of its design strength in 7 days and full strength in 28 days. You can walk on new concrete after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture or driving on the surface.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Most residential concrete projects in North Texas cities require permits. We handle the permit process as part of our service.
Will the new concrete match my existing concrete color?
New concrete will always be lighter than older concrete initially. Over time, weathering brings the colors closer. We can use color additives and curing techniques to minimize the contrast.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
We pour patios with a minimum 4-inch slab thickness on a compacted base, reinforced with steel rebar or wire mesh. Driveways require 4-6 inches depending on vehicle weight.
What decorative concrete options do you offer?
Stamped concrete replicating natural stone, brick, slate, or wood planks. Exposed aggregate for slip-resistant pool decks. Acid or water-based stains for rich, variegated color effects.
How do you prevent cracking?
All concrete develops cracks over time — that's the nature of the material. What we control is where those cracks occur through proper expansion joint placement, steel reinforcement, and base preparation.
