San Antonio’s unique blend of heritage architecture and modern living calls for hard-scaping solutions that are both durable and beautiful. Decorative concrete answers that call, and CountBricks brings it to life with unmatched speed and accuracy. By combining award-winning residential craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating, CountBricks turns porches, patios, pool decks, and driveways into lasting design statements—all while keeping budgets crystal-clear.
Traditional gray slabs get the job done, but today’s homeowners want more. Decorative concrete involves color additives, stamping, staining, polishing, and integral texture patterns that mimic stone, brick, or even reclaimed wood. The result is a custom surface that:
• Resists San Antonio’s intense sun and seasonal downpours
• Provides slip-resistant textures around pools and outdoor kitchens
• Integrates seamlessly with Spanish, ranch, or contemporary design styles
• Requires minimal maintenance compared to pavers or natural stone
Realtime Voice Estimates: Homeowners speak, CountBricks listens. Our AI captures square footage, design preferences, and site conditions during a brief phone conversation, then instantly generates a detailed estimate.
Dynamic Materials Database: Stamped ashlar, colored salt-finish, or polished terrazzo—CountBricks’ database updates costs nightly so you know exactly what pigments, sealers, and concrete blends will run in Bexar County.
Blueprint Takeoffs in Minutes: Upload your pool deck or driveway plan at CountBricks.com/services. Our AI outlines every joint, edge, and thickness to eliminate human error and costly overruns.
Full-Service Project Delivery: From demo to pour to seal coat, CountBricks crews self-perform or coordinate trusted local trade partners. One contract, one point of contact, zero stress.
Hot Texas summers demand a cool splash zone. CountBricks recommends light-colored, slip-resistant stamped patterns that reflect heat and mimic travertine without the maintenance.
Integrally colored terra-cotta concrete, finished with a subtle broom texture and sealed with a matte UV-guard, complements mission arches and clay roof tiles perfectly.
Polished concrete with saw-cut joints offers a sleek, low-maintenance alternative to pavers, eliminating weed growth and reducing settling in our expansive soils.

A North Central San Antonio homeowner approached CountBricks with a crumbling 900-square-foot driveway. During a five-minute voice call, our AI captured dimensions, soil concerns, and the client’s desire for a modern aesthetic. Within two minutes, the system produced an itemized proposal: tear-out, 4,000-psi concrete, saw-cut joints, graphite integral color, and micro-polish finish—totaling $12.75 per square foot.
Site verification revealed expansive clay soil. CountBricks’ estimator adjusted the slab thickness from 4 to 5 inches and added post-tension cabling. The AI engine recalculated materials, labor, and timeline instantly, increasing the cost by only 8% while doubling structural integrity.
• Old slab demoed and recycled in 6 hours, reducing landfill fees
• Post-tension cables stressed to 3,200 psi and inspected via our mobile QA app
• Graphite pigment mixed onsite under shaded canopy for uniform color
• Surface polished to 800 grit, reflecting the homeowner’s modern façade
The entire build took four working days. Three months later, sensors embedded in the slab show zero movement, and the homeowner reports a 15% boost in property value per recent appraisal.
• Even “simple” decorative concrete benefits from soil analysis—let CountBricks handle it.
• Real-time estimating allows design tweaks without cost anxiety.
• Investing in post-tension reinforcement is economical in clay-heavy San Antonio neighborhoods.
