Castroville's charm comes from its Alsatian stone cottages, riverside lots along the Medina, and the blend of historic and newer homes that make this community unique just west of San Antonio. When your driveway settles, your patio cracks, or your walkway becomes a trip hazard, you need a concrete contractor who understands the terrain and the character of 78009.
San Antonio Concrete has served Castroville homeowners and property managers for years. We know the clay-rich soil that shifts with our Texas heat and drought cycles, the drainage challenges that come with proximity to the Medina River, and the decorative concrete work that complements Castroville's distinctive architecture. Whether you need a simple repair or a stamped patio that echoes the stone heritage of your home, we show up on time, do the work right, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.
Concrete in Castroville (78009)
Castroville sits on deep, expansive clay soil that behaves very differently from the rocky caliche and limestone found north of Loop 1604 in San Antonio. When we get our dry summers and droughts, that clay shrinks and pulls away from your foundation, driveway, and patio edges. Then spring rains and our occasional heavy downpours swell it again, causing heaving, cracking, and uneven surfaces that are both dangerous and ugly. The Medina River is close by, so drainage matters. Older stone cottages often have tight lot access and established landscaping that we have to work around. Newer homes may have HOA guidelines about materials and finishes. We've poured concrete in all of it.
Our team understands Castroville's specific challenges: the clay, the water table, the mix of historic and modern homes, and the local permit process. We size and slope every job to shed water, we use proper base prep and reinforcement to resist settlement, and we recommend sealing to protect against sun fade and moisture penetration in our hard South Texas climate.

How a Job Works in Castroville
First, we come out and look at what you've got. We walk the site, check drainage, measure the area, ask about your goals, and assess any existing damage or site constraints. Castroville lots can be tight, and trees are part of the charm, so we note access routes and any work that needs city approval. This visit is free, and we give you a clear estimate and timeline before we commit to anything.
Once you say yes, we handle the prep. That means removing old concrete if needed, grading and compacting the base, setting forms, and getting any required permits from the City of Castroville. Depending on your project, we may coordinate with your HOA. We pour, finish, and cure the concrete according to specs. In Castroville's summer heat, we pay close attention to set times and curing conditions so the concrete cures properly and doesn't crack.
When the job is done, we remove our equipment, haul away debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. You get a clean property and concrete that will last.
Pricing depends on the size of the job, what's already there, site access, and how fast you need it done. A basic concrete patio or driveway in Castroville typically runs from $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete, which suits Castroville's character beautifully, starts around $10 per square foot. If you have an existing slab that's settled or cracked, repair and resurfacing can start as low as $3 per square foot, and concrete leveling (slab lifting) runs about $4 per square foot. A small patio might be $800 to $1,500; a driveway could run $1,500 to $4,000 or more depending on size. All of that changes based on your specific site, soil conditions, and what you want. The best way to know is to call us at (210) 399-8031 for a free on-site estimate. We'll walk you through the numbers and answer your questions.
