McNeill Services
McNeill Services is a premier Custom Pool Builder in Magnolia, TX and the surrounding areas. We specialize in high-quality Pool builds, Covered Patio installations, and custom patio extensions.
I'm Josh McNeill, owner of McNeill Services — born and raised in Magnolia, Texas, where my wife and I are raising our family of six. We're not just a local business, we're your neighbors.
McNeill Services was built on a simple idea: Magnolia homeowners deserve custom pools, covered patios, and outdoor living spaces without the big-company markup. We run fully structured projects using the same licensed, insured subcontractors the large builders use — just without the massive overhead. We pull permits, work with consistent crews, and stay hands-on from start to finish across Magnolia, The Woodlands, Tomball, Pinehurst, and surrounding areas.
When you hire us, you work directly with the owner. That means real accountability, clear communication, and a backyard that gets built right — at 20–30% less than what the big pool and patio contractors charge.
If you're thinking about a custom pool, patio cover, outdoor kitchen, or any backyard upgrade — I'd love to help.

Fantastic work by Josh and his crew. We reached out looking for suggestions on back patio options.

Most residential patios take 2–4 days of on-site work: one day for layout, excavation, and forming, one day for the pour, and the rest for finishing and curing. The bigger timeline is the cure — your patio will be ready for foot traffic in about 24–48 hours, but we'll walk you through the full curing window before you load it up with furniture or grills.
A standard broom-finished patio in our area typically runs around $8–$12 per square foot, while decorative options like stamped or stained concrete run higher because of the added labor and materials. Every job is different depending on size, site prep, and finish, so we always come out, measure, and give you a clear written quote — no guessing and no surprises.
Yes. We do classic broom finish (the most popular and slip-resistant), smooth trowel, exposed aggregate, and decorative stamped concrete that can mimic stone, brick, or wood plank. We'll show you real photos of finishes we've poured locally so you can see exactly what you're getting before we start.
It depends on your city and neighborhood. Many patio slabs don't require a permit, but extensions, covered structures, or work near property lines sometimes do — and HOAs often have their own approval process. We'll let you know what's typically required for your area, and we always recommend confirming with your HOA before we break ground. We build to code either way.
Drainage is built into the design, not an afterthought. We slope the slab away from your home — usually about a quarter-inch of fall per foot — so water sheds off naturally and never sits against your foundation or pools on the surface. On trickier lots we'll plan grading or drainage solutions before the pour.
Standard patios are poured at 4 inches thick, and we go thicker where there's heavier load. We reinforce with rebar and/or wire mesh on a chair grid so the steel sits in the middle of the slab where it actually does its job. That reinforcement, combined with proper control joints, is what keeps a slab from cracking and shifting over time — especially in our Texas clay soil.
Absolutely. We can color, texture, and finish new concrete to blend with your existing patio, driveway, or home's style. Fresh concrete will always cure slightly different in tone at first, but we match finish and color as closely as possible, and it evens out as it ages.
You can usually walk on it after 24–48 hours. We recommend waiting about 7 days before adding patio furniture and giving it a full 28 days before anything heavy. Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after the pour, so a little patience up front means a patio that lasts for decades.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and warranty our installation. Concrete is a natural material and minor hairline cracking can happen as it cures, but structural issues caused by our work are covered. We'll go over the specifics in writing so you know exactly what's protected.
Honestly, we pour year-round here. Spring and fall are ideal because of milder temps, but Texas summers and winters are both workable — we just adjust our mix and cure process for the heat or the occasional cold snap. The bottom line: there's rarely a bad time to get your patio in.
Definitely. Steps, walkways, and transitions between levels are some of the most common add-ons we do. We'll design them to flow with your patio and your yard so everything looks like one cohesive project, not pieces tacked on.
We plan around them. Before we dig, we identify sprinkler lines and landscaping in the work zone and either cap, reroute, or protect them as needed. If irrigation has to be modified, we'll talk it through with you up front so there are no surprises and your system still works when we're done.
A standard patio is typically a broom-finished gray slab — clean, durable, and budget-friendly. Stamped concrete is poured the same way but then imprinted and colored while it's still workable to mimic stone, brick, slate, or wood. You get a high-end custom look for a fraction of what real pavers or natural stone would cost, with all the durability of a solid concrete slab.
We're a local Texas crew that treats your project like it's our own backyard. Every photo on our site is real work we've actually poured — no stock images — so you know exactly what you're getting. We build for our climate and soil, we communicate clearly from quote to cleanup, and we don't disappear after the pour. When you call McNeill, you get the owner involved, not a runaround.
