Base preparation and grading
The slab is only as good as what sits under it. We strip, shape and compact the sub-base, then set the grade so water runs away from the garage and the house rather than pooling on the pad.

Concrete Driveways in Austin, TX
A driveway takes more daily abuse than any other slab on a property. We pour driveways for Austin homes with the base prep, thickness and jointing that keep the surface flat and the cracking controlled.
Whether you are replacing a broken slab or pouring over bare ground, the work starts with a call and a look at the site.
What the work involves
Concrete Driveways done properly
Jointing and reinforcement
Concrete moves. Control joints are laid out and cut on a spacing that suits the pour, so shrinkage cracks land in the joint line instead of across the middle of your driveway.
Finishes for traction and looks
Broom finish is the workhorse for driveways in the Austin climate. If you want something with more character, the same slab can be stamped or tinted — see decorative and stamped concrete.
Tear-out and replacement
Existing concrete is broken out and hauled off before the new pour. Where a slab is only surface-damaged, a repair may be the cheaper route.
Service FAQs
Concrete Driveways questions
- Can you replace a cracked driveway rather than repair it?
- Yes. If the cracking is structural, or the slab has settled unevenly, a full tear-out and re-pour is usually the more durable answer. We will tell you which one your driveway needs when we look at it.
- How long before I can park on a new driveway?
- Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after the pour. Vehicle traffic waits longer than foot traffic, and the exact window depends on the mix and the weather — we give you a date before we leave the site.
- Do you widen existing driveways?
- We do. Widening involves matching thickness and jointing to the existing slab so the two sections move together instead of fighting each other.
