The questions everyone asks

Here's the part most companies won't tell you: Texas doesn't issue a state license for concrete work. So anyone advertising a state concrete license here is stretching the truth. What you can actually check is what matters. G&M holds contractor registrations and has pulled permits in McKinney, Celina, Flower Mound, Dallas, Argyle, and Denton, carries a $2 million commercial insurance policy we're glad to show you, and puts every warranty in writing. Read the full breakdown on our blog.

Honest starting points so you can plan: stamped and stained concrete starts at $15 per square foot, flatwork at $8 per square foot with a 600 square foot minimum, outdoor kitchens around $10,000, pergolas around $5,000, and pavilions around $20,000. Outdoor fireplaces and hardscaping are quoted per project, because every one is custom. Your written estimate is always itemized and exact, so there are no surprises. Watch out for anyone baiting you with a rock-bottom per-foot price, then piling on pump, demo, grading, and cleanup charges at the end. Here's how that trap works.

North DFW and Texoma. From Sherman down to Fort Worth, over to Dallas, and up through Gainesville, including Tioga, Pilot Point, Celina, Prosper, McKinney, Denton, Argyle, Frisco, and Flower Mound. If you're anywhere in that stretch, send us your project and we'll come take a look.

Yes, in writing. We follow Texas guidelines: 6 years structural, 2 years on electrical and plumbing, and 1 year workmanship on minor fixes. Every project is different, so your exact terms are spelled out in your quote. A lot like buying a home.

Yes. As long as it's above 40 degrees, we pour year-round. We also add cure-slowing chemicals to our mix, because concrete that cures slower cures stronger. Your backyard shouldn't have to wait for one perfect month to get built, or to get enjoyed.

No, we build dream backyards, not pools. If a pool is the centerpiece of your plan, a dedicated pool company is the right call, and we're happy to build everything around it: the patio, the kitchen, the pergola, and more.
