Tired of an embarrassing, crumbling driveway? We build concrete driveways in New Braunfels that hold up against Texas heat and clay soils - clean, durable, and done right the first time.
Concrete driveway building in New Braunfels, TX involves excavating the existing surface, compacting a gravel base, setting forms, pouring ready-mixed concrete, finishing the surface, and cutting control joints - most residential projects run one to two days for the pour, with the full process including curing spanning about a week.
Homeowners in New Braunfels often reach this decision after one too many rounds of patching an old asphalt driveway or watching a gravel surface migrate into the yard. Concrete stays firm in the triple-digit heat that softens asphalt every summer, and once it is sealed it asks very little of you. If you are also thinking about the approach to your home from the street, our concrete patio construction service lets you extend that same clean, durable look to your backyard.
The upfront cost of concrete is higher than asphalt, but the math usually works out in concrete's favor over the long run - especially here, where asphalt maintenance is a recurring expense and Central Texas clay soils demand a properly built base either way.
If your existing driveway has visible cracks running across the slab or chunks breaking away, the structural layer underneath has likely failed. Patching only delays the inevitable and adds cost to the eventual replacement.
Asphalt driveways in Central Texas need regular resealing to survive the summer sun, and gravel surfaces require constant raking and replenishment. If you are tired of that cycle, a concrete driveway ends it for decades.
Many New Braunfels homeowners invest in landscaping, exterior paint, and updates - then notice the driveway is the one thing that still looks dated. A fresh concrete driveway pulls the whole front of the house together.
Canyon Lake and the Comal River mean a lot of locals keep a boat or trailer at home. If your current surface is too narrow, too short, or not thick enough for the load, a new concrete driveway solves all three problems at once.
We build standard residential driveways, expanded aprons for boats and RVs, replacement driveways over failed old slabs, and new driveways on bare ground for homes completing construction. Our approach covers every step - site prep, gravel base, forming, pouring, surface finishing, and cutting control joints before the concrete sets. For homeowners who want to go a step further than a plain surface, our concrete sidewalk building service connects your driveway to the front entry for a finished, cohesive look at the street.
Finish options range from a classic broom texture - the most practical and affordable choice - to stamped patterns that mimic stone or brick. Stamped driveways cost more but can make a real difference in curb appeal, especially on Hill Country-style homes. Colored concrete is another option if you want to match or complement existing exterior elements.
The practical, affordable choice that holds up well and provides good traction - suits most residential properties.
Textured patterns pressed into the wet slab mimic stone, brick, or tile - best for homeowners who want curb appeal as well as function.
Pigment added to the mix produces a uniform color throughout the slab - good for matching or complementing exterior finishes.
Wider slabs sized for boats, trailers, and RVs - designed with the load and turning radius of larger vehicles in mind.
New Braunfels sits at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, and much of the city - particularly the newer subdivisions built during its rapid growth - rests on clay-heavy soils that expand when wet and shrink when dry. That seasonal movement is the single biggest threat to a concrete slab poured without proper base preparation. We factor this in on every project, digging to the correct depth, compacting the subgrade, and laying a gravel base that gives the slab a stable foundation no matter what the weather does. Homeowners in areas like Seguin, TX and Schertz, TX face the same soil conditions and can count on the same approach.
The other local factor is heat. New Braunfels summers regularly run above 90 degrees from late spring through September, and that temperature range is hard on fresh concrete if the pour is not managed carefully. Our crews schedule pours for early morning, use mix additives that slow the set time, and keep the fresh slab moist during the critical first days after the pour. If a hard freeze is in the forecast within the first week - which does happen occasionally in Central Texas - we reschedule rather than risk the slab. Spring and fall remain the most forgiving seasons for new driveway work here.

(830) 402-1980New Braunfels sits on expansive clay soils that shift with every rain and dry spell. We account for this on every project - excavating to the right depth, compacting the base thoroughly, and sizing slabs to resist movement. Homeowners on recently graded lots get extra attention to subgrade preparation.
We hold a current Texas contractor license and carry general liability and workers compensation coverage. You can verify the license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation before we ever show up at your property.
Membership in the American Society of Concrete Contractors signals a commitment to industry best practices specific to concrete work - not just general construction. It means we follow current standards for mix design, curing, and joint spacing.
Every project starts with a written contract that spells out scope, materials, slab thickness, and schedule. No surprises during the job, and no open-ended timelines that leave you waiting.
Concrete work looks simple from the outside, but the details - base depth, mix additives for Texas heat, control joint spacing - are what separate a driveway that lasts 30 years from one that cracks in five. The American Society of Concrete Contractors and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation both provide resources that help homeowners ask the right questions before hiring. We welcome that scrutiny.
