Slabs, driveways, patios, sidewalks, and commercial flatwork across Boerne and Kendall County — poured on properly prepared caliche and limestone base, not on whatever was already there.
We measure the pour and check the subgrade before quoting a number.
Shop slabs and driveways through parking lots, walkways, and ADA ramps.

Most of what fails around here fails underneath. Every job starts with the base — compaction, moisture, and drainage — because a good finish over bad prep still cracks.
Foundations and pads for shops, barns, additions, and outbuildings, sized and reinforced for the load you're actually putting on them.
New walkways, connecting paths, and repair or replacement of sections that have lifted, settled, or spalled.
New driveways, replacements, and the long approach drives that come with acreage — including culverts, aprons, and turnarounds.
Covered and open patios, porch slabs, outdoor kitchen and fire-pit pads, poured to drain away from the house.
Flatwork for businesses, contractors and property managers, scheduled around your hours so the lot stays usable.
Kendall County isn't the Blackland clay you find east of I-35. The problems here are different, and so is the prep.
Shallow limestone means rock is often close to the surface, which is stable to build on but expensive to cut when a slab needs depth. Caliche makes an excellent base when it's compacted in lifts and kept at the right moisture — and a poor one when it's dumped and driven over.
Hill Country lots shed water quickly, which means runoff hits a slab edge hard and undercuts it over time. Slope, thickened edges, and a plan for where the water goes matter more here than they do on flat ground.
Concrete poured in a Texas August cures fast enough to crack if it isn't timed and cured properly. Then a February freeze finds every weakness. Control joints cut at the right depth and spacing decide where a slab cracks, because it will.
A truck has to reach the pour. On larger properties, that can mean pumping, buggying, or staging the job across more than one day — worth knowing before a number is quoted, not after.
Four steps, and you know the price before anything is torn out.
On-site, measured, with a look at the subgrade, the drainage, and how a truck gets in. Estimates are free, and we don't quote sight-unseen.
Thickness, reinforcement, square footage, finish, and prep are all itemized. If the base needs work, it's in the quote rather than added later.
Demo and haul-off if there's an old slab, then base compaction, forming, steel, and the pour scheduled around the weather.
Finish to the texture you picked, control joints cut on time, and clear instructions on when you can walk it, park on it, and seal it.
No. We come out, measure the job, look at the subgrade and the drainage, and work out how a truck gets in. It usually takes about twenty minutes, it is free, and there is no obligation at the end of it.
It is priced per square foot, but thickness, reinforcement, base prep, and access move the number more than square footage does. That is why we will not quote a job we have not stood on. What we will do is put every one of those items in writing so you can compare our bid against anyone else's line for line.
Foot traffic in roughly a day, vehicles in about seven. Anyone promising you a driveway back under a truck sooner than that is planning to hand you a cracked slab.
Yes, eventually, and that is normal. Control joints cut at the right depth and spacing decide where it cracks, which is the whole point of cutting them within the first day. A hairline crack in an otherwise flat slab is not a defect and is not a reason to spend money.
Texas does not issue a state license for concrete or general contracting, so there is no such thing as a "licensed concrete contractor" here. What applies is local: contractors have to be registered with the City of Boerne to work inside the city limits and to pull a permit, and Fair Oaks Ranch runs its own permitting separately. Ask any bidder whether they are registered where your job is, and ask for a certificate of insurance either way, because that is the part Texas leaves entirely up to you to check.
Most of our work is within about twenty minutes of Boerne. Beyond that it depends on the size of the job, and we would rather tell you honestly that a small pour is not worth the haul than quote it high and hope you say no.
Boerne and the surrounding Kendall County communities — see the service areas page for details on each. If you're just outside this list, call and ask.
We're a concrete crew working out of Boerne, doing flatwork for homeowners, builders, and businesses across Kendall County. Most of our work is slabs and driveways, and most of it comes from people who watched us pour for a neighbor.
We'd rather talk you out of a job than pour something that won't last. If a slab needs more base than the budget allows, or the drainage needs solving first, we'll say so at the estimate.
Planning a slab you'll actually look at? The Concrete Network's guide to slab thickness and reinforcement is a straightforward read before you get quotes, and the NRMCA's Concrete in Practice series covers curing and cracking in plain language.
Tell us roughly what you're looking at, and we'll get out to measure it. Or skip the form and call (830) 357-7152.
We answer estimate requests the same day during the week. Nothing gets shared with anyone else.
