Gatesville ranches along the Leon River sit on thin, rocky clay that shifts with every drought and downpour, and your driveway and garage floor know it. We're Killeen Concrete, and we've spent years fixing the sunken slabs, cracked pavement, and spalling concrete that Central Texas heat and ground movement leave behind in ZIP 76528.
When your driveway is settling or your garage floor is cracking apart, you need a contractor who understands Coryell County soil and the hard freeze-thaw cycles that come with it. That's us. We serve Gatesville and the surrounding areas with honest concrete work, free estimates, and the kind of attention that keeps your property safe and level.
Concrete in Gatesville (76528)
Gatesville's small-town ranches and rural properties sit on ground that moves. The Edwards limestone bedrock lies shallow beneath thin, shrink-swell clay and caliche pockets. Long droughts pull the soil down; spring rains and occasional flash flooding along the Leon River push it up again. That cycle cracks slabs, settles driveways, and leaves walkways uneven and dangerous. The summer heat, pushing toward 100 degrees, speeds concrete set times and fades any surface that isn't sealed. Winter freezes are short but hard enough to crack unsealed concrete and work water into control joints.
We've built and repaired driveways, garage floors, patios, and sidewalks across Gatesville for years. We know which properties sit on clay pockets that move, how to prep sub-base properly so slabs don't settle, and when to use rebar and tight control joints to keep cracks from spreading. We also know Gatesville's permit requirements for driveway work near the road and ADA rules for commercial walkways.

How a Job Works in Gatesville
We start with a free on-site visit. We walk your property, look at the ground, check drainage, measure the area, and ask what you want. If it's a sunken slab or settling driveway, we look at how the ground is moving and what caused it. We give you a clear estimate and timeline, and we answer your questions about permits and HOA approval if you need it.
When we start work, we do the job right. For driveways and garage floors, that means proper sub-base prep, rebar if needed, and control joints placed to manage the clay movement beneath. For removal and replacement jobs, common in Gatesville because older slabs have settled so far, we haul the old concrete away, prep the ground, and pour new. We work around tight lot access and coordinate with your neighbors if needed. We pull any required city permits for you.
When we're done, we clean up. Your property looks better than when we arrived. We walk through the finished work with you, answer your questions, and give you care instructions if you've chosen sealing or polishing.
Concrete Removal and Replacement, the most common job in Gatesville because so many older slabs have settled, runs from about $7 per square foot. A typical sunken driveway, say 400 square feet, falls in the $2,800 to $3,500 range depending on depth, ground prep, and haul-away. Garage floors start at $5 per square foot; a standard two-car garage is roughly $1,500 to $2,500. Concrete Repair and Resurfacing, if your slab isn't too far gone, start at $3 per square foot and cost less than full replacement. Concrete Leveling and Slab Lifting, which we use to raise settled slabs without removing them, start at $4 per square foot. Sealing protects new or existing concrete from UV fade and moisture penetration, starting at $0.75 per square foot. Cost depends on the size of the area, how much prep and ground work the site needs, how far the slab has settled, whether we're in freeze-thaw season (which affects cure time), and how fast you need it done.
