Concrete in Salado (76571)
Salado sits on Edwards limestone with thin, rocky clay soil that shifts with the seasons. When spring rains soak the ground after a dry winter, and then summer heat bakes the earth, concrete slabs settle and crack if the base prep is shallow. We've seen driveways sink unevenly, patios heave, and sidewalks crack because the sub-base wasn't compacted tight or because rebar and control joints weren't placed to handle the ground movement. The limestone bedrock also means tight access on many lots, and the rolling terrain requires careful grading and drainage planning so water doesn't pool under a new slab or driveway.
Our team has built and repaired concrete throughout the Killeen area for years, including Salado's mix of established custom homes and newer construction. We know how to set proper base depth, use rebar and control joints to prevent cracking, and finish surfaces that shed water and resist the hard Central Texas sun. Whether your home sits near Salado Creek or on higher ground, we size the job right and protect your investment from the ground up.

How a Job Works in Salado
We start with a free on-site visit. You call us at (254) 382-3006 or tell us what you need, and we come out to measure, look at the ground, check drainage, and talk through your goals. If your lot has tight access or if you're near a property line, we note that upfront. We also confirm whether your job needs a city permit (most driveways and sidewalks in Salado do), and we handle the paperwork.
Once you approve the estimate, we prepare the site. We excavate to proper depth, compact the sub-base, set forms, place rebar or wire mesh, and pour the concrete to the right slope for drainage. If you're choosing stamped or decorative concrete, we work the finish while the concrete is still workable so the pattern and color set cleanly. For repairs or resurfacing, we clean and prep the old surface, apply bonding agent, and pour new concrete that bonds tight and lasts.
When the concrete cures (usually 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and humidity), we remove forms, finish edges, and clean up. You get a walkthrough so you can see the job is done right. We leave your property clean and your new concrete ready to use.
Concrete costs in Salado depend on size, site access, ground prep, and what you're building. A basic concrete driveway runs from $6 per square foot; a stamped or decorative patio that fits Salado's custom-home character starts at $10 per square foot. Concrete repair and resurfacing, which many Salado homeowners need for settling or cracked slabs, begins at $3 per square foot. Concrete sealing to protect against sun fade and weather starts at $0.75 per square foot. A 20-by-20-foot patio (400 square feet) with basic finish costs roughly $2,400 to $4,000; a stamped version runs $4,000 to $6,000 or more depending on pattern complexity. A driveway seal job on a 500-square-foot surface runs $375 to $500. Site conditions matter: if we need to remove old concrete, haul debris, or build up a low spot with fill and proper base, costs rise. Call us at (254) 382-3006 for a free estimate tailored to your Salado property and what you want to build.
