Burnet's Hill Country homes sit on rocky limestone lots where the sun beats down hard and spring storms come fast, and that means your concrete takes a beating. We're Killeen Concrete, and we know exactly what happens to patios, walkways, and driveways in the 78611 area when heat cracks them and limestone shifts underneath.
Homeowners in Burnet call us because we understand the terrain here. Your lot is probably thin clay over Edwards limestone, the ground moves with drought and rain, and concrete that wasn't built right from the start will crack, settle, or spall. We've been serving Burnet and the surrounding Killeen area long enough to know what works and what doesn't on these properties.
Concrete in Burnet (78611)
Burnet sits in the heart of the Hill Country, where homes perch on rocky limestone foundations and the weather swings hard. Summer temperatures push 95 to 100-plus degrees, which means concrete sets fast and UV exposure fades unsealed surfaces quickly. Spring brings heavy rains, hail, and flash flooding along the creek bottoms, and then long dry spells follow. That cycle of wet and dry, heat and the occasional hard freeze, is what cracks and settles concrete slabs here. The ground itself is thin, rocky clay over limestone bedrock with pockets of shrink-swell clay and caliche. If your sub-base isn't prepped right, if rebar and control joints aren't placed tight, your slab will move.
We've built and repaired concrete for Burnet homeowners long enough to know these conditions inside out. We size sub-bases for the ground you have, we place rebar and control joints to handle the movement, and we seal concrete to protect it from the hard sun and storm exposure. Whether it's a patio on a steep limestone lot, a walkway that's settled and become a trip hazard, or a driveway that's cracking from the heat and ground shift, we show up knowing what we're doing.

How a Job Works in Burnet
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (254) 382-3006 or tell us what you're seeing, and we come out to look at the concrete, the grade, the drainage, and the ground conditions. We'll walk your lot with you, explain what's happening and why, and give you a straight estimate. No guessing, no surprises later.
Once you say go, we handle the work. If it's a new patio or driveway, we excavate, compact the sub-base tight, set rebar or wire mesh, pour and finish the concrete, and cut control joints where they need to be. If it's repair or resurfacing, we clean and prep the old surface, grind out spalls, and apply the new finish. If your slab has settled and created a trip hazard, we can lift it back level using concrete leveling techniques. On tight Burnet lots where access is narrow or the grade is steep, we bring the right equipment and take the time to do it right without tearing up your landscaping or your neighbor's property.
When we're done, we clean up. Your property looks better than when we started, and we walk through the finished work with you so you know exactly what you got.
Pricing in Burnet depends on the size of the job, the condition of the existing concrete (if any), site access, and how much prep work the ground needs. A basic concrete patio or driveway runs around 6 dollars per square foot, which means a 400-square-foot patio comes in around 2,400 dollars. Stamped or decorative concrete costs more, roughly 10 dollars per square foot, because of the finish work. Concrete repair and resurfacing is cheaper, starting around 3 dollars per square foot, if you're fixing spalling or fading. Sealing existing concrete to protect it from the sun and weather runs about 75 cents per square foot. If your slab has settled and needs lifting, that's roughly 4 dollars per square foot. Every job is different because every Burnet lot is different. Call us at (254) 382-3006 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the ground, and give you a real number before any work starts.
