Concrete flatwork,
measured before
it’s ever poured.

Most residential driveways along the I-35 corridor run about $10–$18 per square foot installed, depending on thickness, base prep, reinforcement and finish. Decorative and heavier commercial slabs cost more. Build a line-item range in our instant estimator, then we confirm it with a free on-site measure.

Patios and walkways are typically 4 inches, residential driveways 5 inches, and commercial or heavy-vehicle and RV slabs 6 to 8 inches with heavier rebar. The right thickness depends on the load and your soil, so we size it from the measurements rather than a guess.

You can usually walk on new flatwork after 24 to 48 hours and drive a passenger vehicle after about 7 days. Concrete keeps gaining strength for 28 days, so we recommend waiting longer for heavy vehicles. We give you exact times for your pour and the weather.

All concrete can develop hairline cracks as it cures and the ground moves. We can’t promise crack-free concrete — nobody honest can — but the right thickness, a compacted base, reinforcement and a proper control-joint layout control where it cracks and keep it cosmetic rather than structural.

It depends on the work and the city. Many private patios and slabs need no permit, while driveway approaches in the public right-of-way, ADA work and commercial slabs usually do. We handle permitting where it’s required as part of the job.

We pour the entire corridor and both sides of it: San Antonio, Schertz, New Braunfels, Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Austin, Round Rock and Georgetown, plus Boerne, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Bastrop and more. From south San Antonio to north of Georgetown, a free measure is routine.

Sometimes, as a bonded overlay of roughly two inches or more, and only when the old slab is sound, clean, and not moving. The catch is that an overlay inherits everything under it: existing cracks telegraph through, edges and drainage heights need reworking, and a slab that’s settling keeps settling with new concrete on top. When the old slab is cracked, heaved, or scaling badly, tearing out and repouring usually costs a little more up front and lasts decades longer, and we’ll tell you plainly which one your slab is.

Repair is cheaper when the damage is limited: sealing joints, patching spalls, or lifting a settled section runs a fraction of a repour. Replacement wins once cracking or settlement covers a large share of the slab, because patch-on-patch work buys years while a new pour buys decades. The honest line is extent: when roughly a third or more of the surface is failing, replacement usually pencils out better, and a free on-site measure settles it with numbers instead of a guess.
