Forest Creek Backyards, Built to Ride Out the Clay.

Forest Creek is Round Rock's established golf community — roughly 1,200 homes wrapped around the Forest Creek Golf Club, tucked into southeast Round Rock between I-35 and SH-130 off Gattis School Road. Most of the neighborhood went up between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s from builders like David Weekley, Toll Brothers, Standard Pacific, Brighton, and Kimball Hill, with homes running from around 1,700 square feet to well over 5,000 and plenty of fairway views. The bones are great — the backyards are just ready for their second act.

We've built across Round Rock since 2018, and Forest Creek's defining feature is underfoot: expansive Blackland clay. That soil swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and slabs poured on a thin base crack, heave, and settle. It's exactly why so much of our Forest Creek work starts with tearing out an old patio, building a proper compacted sub-base, and rebuilding something detailed to ride out the clay instead of moving with it.

Whether you want to replace a cracked slab or a rotting deck, add a covered outdoor kitchen with a view of the course, or finally fix the drainage that's been pooling against the house, you work with one team from first sketch to final walkthrough — no subcontractor handed the job halfway through.

· Why CTX

Why Forest Creek Homeowners Choose CTX.

Built for Round Rock Clay

Proper excavation and a compacted sub-base over Forest Creek's expansive Blackland clay, so hardscape and structures stay put — not a slab poured on soil that moves.

We Redo Cracked Slabs Right

Most original Forest Creek patios are cracked and heaving from the clay. We remove them, fix the base, and rebuild — instead of pouring new concrete over the same problem.

Drainage That Handles Clay

Clay sheds water instead of soaking it up. We grade and add French and surface drains so runoff heads for the street or greenbelt, not your foundation.

Design-Build Since 2018

Hundreds of Central Texas outdoor spaces designed and installed — one local team, one point of contact, start to finish.

· How It Works

From First Call to Final Walkthrough.

On-Site Consultation

We walk your Forest Creek property, listen to how you want to use it, and take the measurements and grade that drive a real design.

Design & Quote

You get a clear plan and a fixed, itemized quote — materials, layout, and timeline. No vague estimates, no surprises later.

Permit & Build

We pull City of Round Rock permits and self-perform the build — base, hardscape, structures, lighting, turf, and drainage — with one crew you can reach.

Walkthrough

We finish, clean up, and walk the completed space with you — and stand behind the work long after we hand back the backyard.

· FAQ

Forest Creek Outdoor Living Questions.

Have a question about building in Forest Creek? Here are the ones we hear most — and the honest answers. Still curious? Let's talk it through on site.

Schedule a Consultation
Yes — throughout Forest Creek, from the golf-course-view streets along the Forest Creek Golf Club to the sections off Gattis School Road between I-35 and SH-130. Whether your backyard backs to a fairway or a greenbelt, we serve you. Call 512.316.4107 to confirm your street.
Almost always. Forest Creek sits on Round Rock's expansive Blackland clay, which swells when wet and shrinks when dry — and that movement cracks and heaves slabs poured with a thin base. We remove the old concrete, build a proper compacted sub-base, and rebuild with pavers or a slab detailed to ride out the clay instead of fighting it.
That's a lot of what we do here. Most Forest Creek homes went up between the late 1990s and mid-2000s, so the original decks and patios are now twenty-plus years old. We tear out the tired deck or slab, fix the base, and rebuild with a covered patio, outdoor kitchen, or paver living space that matches how the rest of the home has been updated.
Often, yes. Clay soil doesn't absorb water quickly, so it tends to pool against foundations and patios after a storm. We grade the yard, add French drains and surface drains where they're needed, and route runoff toward the street or greenbelt — so your new patio stays dry and your foundation stays protected.
