The driveways poured during Allen's build-out are hitting 25 and 30 years old, and it shows: spalled surfaces, settled panels, aprons that scrape. We tear out the old slab, fix the base underneath it, and pour a driveway built for the next few decades on this clay.
Tear-out, forms, base, reinforcement, pour, screed, broom, joints, cure. The whole job, in 3D.

Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete driveways job.
Before we quote a tear-out we look at why the old driveway failed: settled base, tree roots, drainage, or just three decades of service. The new pour has to fix the cause, not just the surface.
We break out the old slab, protect the garage floor and the street, and haul the debris promptly. Your driveway is out of commission for as little time as we can manage.
Settled or washed-out base material gets replaced and compacted before any forms are set. On Allen clay this step decides how the driveway looks in year fifteen.
We form the drive with proper fall to the street, set steel on chairs, and pour and finish as one continuous, well-staffed operation. The approach and apron get tied in to city requirements.
Joints are cut the day of the pour, the slab is cured, and you get a straight answer on when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it.
Most contractors vanish after the deposit. We pick up the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work after the truck leaves. The follow-through is the difference.
A foreman we know runs your job and a vetted crew does the work, managed by Lucky's, one company accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
COI and lien waivers on file before we break ground. The documentation that lets commercial clients pay and gives homeowners peace of mind.
Prepped subgrade, reinforced and mixed to spec for the job, and proper curing. We build credibility through the process, not promises. On concrete driveways, that starts with assess what failed and why.
Tear-out and replacement in Allen generally starts around $8 to $14 per square foot depending on size, thickness, demolition, and apron work. Every driveway gets priced from a site visit; we do not give phone quotes we can't stand behind once we see the ground.
Most driveways from Allen's 1990s and 2000s build-out are simply aging out. Builder-grade pours over minimally prepared clay show settled panels, faulted joints, and spalling after 20 to 30 years of shrink-swell cycles, and no coating fixes a base problem.
Plan on about seven days before parking a vehicle on it, sometimes less for light cars in good curing weather. We give you a specific date at the pour rather than a rule of thumb, because mix and temperature change the answer.
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly which makes sense. If the base under the good panels is sound, partial replacement works; if the whole drive is riding a failed base, replacing two panels now and three next year costs more than doing it once.
Yes. Work in the right-of-way, which includes the approach at the street, runs through the City of Allen, and we handle that paperwork and build to the city's spec as part of the job.
Thickness helps, but base preparation and steel placement matter more on expansive clay. We will recommend a thickness based on what you park; a properly built four-inch drive outperforms a thicker slab poured on a bad base.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
