Our Services
Driveways & Parking
A cracked or stained driveway is the first thing your guests — and your HOA — see. Whether you need a full replacement or targeted repair, our Austin driveway crews install concrete built to handle Texas heat, freeze events, and heavy vehicle loads. We’ll tell you upfront whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
Patios & Outdoor Living
Austin’s outdoor season is long — your patio should be able to keep up. From standard poured slabs to stamped concrete finishes that rival stone, we build outdoor spaces designed for real families who entertain, host, and live outside. We protect your existing landscaping and give you a realistic project timeline before we break ground.
Foundation & Slabs
A slab problem in Austin isn’t just structural — it affects every door, window, and wall in your home. Our foundation and slab work is engineered for Central Texas clay conditions that cause more settling and cracking than nearly anywhere else in the country. We pull the right permits and give you documentation you can use for inspections or resale.
Decorative & Specialty
Your concrete doesn’t have to look like a parking lot. Stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, staining, and polished finishes can turn a functional surface into a design feature that adds real curb appeal. We help Austin homeowners find the right finish for their style and budget — and seal it properly so it stays looking sharp.
Commercial Concrete
Downtime costs money. Our commercial crews work efficiently on parking lots, loading docks, ADA ramps, and curb-and-gutter projects across Austin — meeting city code requirements and minimizing disruption to your business or tenants. We handle permitting and provide proper invoicing for tax and record-keeping purposes.
Concrete Repair & Leveling
Not every cracked or sunken slab needs a full replacement. Our Austin repair team uses concrete leveling, mudjacking, and crack injection to restore problem surfaces at a fraction of replacement cost — when that’s genuinely the right call. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way.
Our Core Services
Concrete Driveway Installation – Austin, TX
A new concrete driveway is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make to an Austin home — but only if it's poured correctly for local soil conditions. Austin's expansive clay shifts with moisture, which is why so many driveways crack within a few years: they weren't engineered for where they sit. We size expansion joints properly, use the right mix design for Central Texas heat, and give you a finished surface that can handle 20+ years of Texas weather. Free estimate, clear timeline, no surprise costs.
Concrete Patio Installation – Austin, TX
Your backyard should be usable — not a source of stress. Whether you want a clean, simple slab for furniture and a grill or a full outdoor room with stamped finishes and integrated steps, our Austin patio crews build it to fit your family and your yard. We work around your schedule, protect your existing landscaping during installation, and give you a day-by-day project timeline upfront so you're never wondering what's happening. Most residential patios are complete within a week of pour day.
Stamped Concrete Patio – Austin, TX
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick, or wood at a fraction of the material and maintenance cost — and it's more durable than pavers in Austin's freeze-thaw cycle. We help you select from dozens of patterns and color options, pour the slab correctly so the stamping holds its definition long-term, and seal it with a professional-grade coating that protects against UV fading and staining. This is not a product to cut corners on: the stamp pattern, color application, and sealing all have to be done right or it shows.
Concrete Foundation Repair – Austin, TX
Austin sits on some of the most active clay soil in the country — and it moves. If your doors are sticking, your floors feel uneven, or you're seeing cracks above your windows, foundation movement is likely the cause. Our foundation repair work addresses the concrete itself: leveling settled slabs, filling voids, and repairing structural cracks using methods engineered for Central Texas conditions. We document every repair properly for inspections, insurance, and future resale — because foundation work only adds value if it's on paper.
Concrete Leveling – Austin, TX
Sunken or uneven concrete doesn't always need to be torn out and replaced — and replacing it when leveling would do the job costs you real money. We use mudjacking and slab lifting to raise settled concrete back to its original position, filling the voids underneath that caused the problem in the first place. It's faster, less disruptive, and significantly cheaper than replacement. We'll give you a straight answer on whether leveling is the right solution for your specific situation before you commit to anything.
Concrete Driveway Replacement – Austin, TX
When a driveway is too far gone for repair — major cracking, significant settling, surface failure across large sections — replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We demo and haul the old slab, prep the base correctly (which is where most failures start), and pour a new driveway engineered for Austin's soil and climate. Financing is available for qualified projects, and we work with your HOA requirements if you're in a community with concrete standards. Most residential driveway replacements are complete within 3 days of pour.
Garage Slab Installation – Austin, TX
Whether you're building a new garage or replacing a failing floor, the slab is the foundation of everything above it. We pour garage slabs with the right thickness, vapor barrier, and reinforcement for Austin's ground conditions — so you don't end up with cracks, moisture intrusion, or settling a few years down the road. We can also add a broom finish for traction, a smooth finish for epoxy coating, or drain rough-ins if your project needs them. Permits handled as required.
Concrete Crack Repair – Austin, TX
Not all cracks are equal. Hairline surface cracks from curing are usually cosmetic. Wide, growing, or offset cracks signal a structural problem underneath. We assess both and give you an honest answer: which cracks can be filled and sealed, and which ones indicate something bigger that needs to be addressed before it gets worse. Our crack repair work is sealed properly so it holds through Austin's heat and rare freeze events — not just patched with material that pops back out in six months.
Mudjacking – Austin, TX
Mudjacking is the original concrete lifting method — and it still works well for the right applications. We pump a slurry mixture under sunken slabs to fill voids and raise the concrete back to grade. It's particularly effective for sidewalk panels, patio sections, and pool deck areas where the concrete itself is still in good structural shape, just sitting on settled soil. We'll tell you when mudjacking is the right fit and when another approach makes more sense — no upselling.
Concrete Pool Deck Installation – Austin, TX
Your pool deck takes more abuse than almost any concrete surface on your property: constant water exposure, bare feet, UV, and heavy use all season long. We build pool decks in Austin with slip-resistant finishes (broom texture, exposed aggregate, or brushed stamped patterns), proper drainage slope so water flows away from the pool equipment and your foundation, and expansion joints placed to handle Texas temperature swings. Safety for kids and longevity for your investment — both matter on a pool deck.

It depends on the scope — but here are real ranges: driveway replacement typically runs $4,500–$12,000; patio installation $8,000–$18,000; foundation repair $3,000–$9,000. Decorative finishes like stamped concrete add cost but also add significant value. The only way to give you an accurate number is to see the job. We offer free estimates with no obligation.
No — estimates are free for most Austin-area projects. If your job site is significantly outside our service area, we may charge a trip fee, and we’ll tell you that upfront before we schedule anything. For the vast majority of jobs in Austin and the surrounding suburbs, there’s no cost to get a number from us.
Most residential projects — patios, driveways, slabs — take 3–7 days from pour to final walkthrough, with a mandatory cure period before you can drive on or fully use the surface. Concrete needs 24–48 hours before foot traffic and 7 days before vehicle traffic in most cases. We give you a day-by-day timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly.
All concrete develops some cracking — the goal is controlling where and how it cracks so it stays structurally sound and looks good. We place expansion joints at the right intervals and in the right locations to manage this. Austin’s clay soil and temperature swings are hard on concrete, which is why proper base prep, mix design, and joint placement matter more here than in most markets. We engineer for it.
Yes. We carry all required licenses, bonds, and liability insurance for concrete contracting in Texas. We can provide documentation on request. We also pull the required permits for work that needs them — that’s part of doing the job right, not an add-on.
Yes. Many of our projects are in Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and other suburban communities with active HOAs and specific concrete standards for finishes, colors, and timelines. We’re familiar with how to navigate those requirements and can help you get the approvals you need before we break ground.
