Your Georgetown Patio Cracks Every Summer—Clay Soil Strikes Again
The black gumbo clay under your Sun City patio expands when wet and contracts in drought, cracking your concrete every season. Your builder's 'solution' was just pouring thicker slabs, but the cracks keep coming back.
The real cost of waiting: Cracked patios become trip hazards—especially risky for aging-in-place residents. Standing water attracts mosquitoes, and repair costs compound each year.

Questions to ask Georgetown contractors
Use these to separate experienced local pros from generalists who don't know the area.
- 1 How deep is your aggregate base for Georgetown clay soil conditions?
- 2 Do you have experience with Sun City's accessibility requirements?
- 3 Can you provide references from other Williamson County permeable paver projects?
Best time to start
Late fall through early spring—avoid installing during summer drought when clay is most contracted, as the soil will shift dramatically when rains return.

Permeable Pavers & Drainage questions from Georgetown homeowners
Frequently asked questions
How do permeable pavers handle Georgetown's expansive clay?
Unlike rigid concrete, interlocking pavers flex with soil movement. We also install a 6-8 inch aggregate base that provides a stable platform above the clay.
Are permeable pavers safe for seniors with mobility concerns?
Absolutely. We use textured, non-slip surfaces and ensure tight joint spacing. Many Sun City homeowners choose permeable pavers specifically because they eliminate the cracking and heaving that causes trip hazards.
Can I install permeable pavers in an HOA community like Wolf Ranch?
Yes—we work with HOA requirements regularly. Most Wolf Ranch and Berry Creek HOAs approve permeable pavers when the color and style match neighborhood standards.
