Standard patios use a 4-inch slab of 3,500 PSI concrete (DFW standard); areas supporting outdoor kitchens or hot tubs need 6 inches. Tarrant County's expansive clay soil requires 4-6 inches of compacted base to prevent cracking.
Tight gate access, sloped yards, or removing an existing slab adds labor. Wheelbarrow-only access can add 10-15% to the pour cost versus truck-accessible Fort Worth backyards.
