Converse sits on deep, expansive clay soil that shifts with every Texas drought and downpour, and newer brick homes across 78148 are seeing it firsthand: sunken walkway panels, settling patio slabs, and driveways that crack and heave faster than you'd expect.

San Antonio Concrete has spent years working the clay-heavy lots of Converse and the surrounding San Antonio area. We know what happens when the ground under a new patio or driveway dries out, and we know how to fix it before a small crack becomes a trip hazard or a costly replacement job. If your concrete is sinking, cracking, or just not sitting right on your Converse property, we're the team to call.

Concrete in Converse (78148)

Converse's newer brick subdivisions sit on flat, clay-rich ground that behaves differently than the rocky caliche and limestone you'll find north of Loop 1604. When the South Texas heat bakes the clay dry in summer, the soil shrinks and your concrete settles. When spring rains come and the clay swells, slabs heave and crack. It's not a defect in the concrete, it's the ground itself, and it's why homeowners in Converse call us for concrete leveling, slab lifting, and patio repair more often than you might think.

Our team has installed and repaired concrete across Converse and the entire San Antonio metro for years. We understand the drainage challenges on flat lots, the tight access on many newer streets, and the need to coordinate with HOA requirements. We bring the right equipment, the right mix designs for clay soil, and the experience to get the job done right the first time.

How a Job Works in Converse

We start with a free on-site visit to your Converse property. We'll walk your driveway, patio, or walkway, check the grade and drainage, look at how the concrete is settling or cracking, and ask about any recent changes in the soil or water flow. We'll take photos and measurements, and we'll give you a straight answer about what we can do and what it will cost.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work around your schedule and any HOA approval timelines. For slab lifting or leveling, we use hydraulic equipment to raise settled concrete back to grade, or we remove and replace the slab entirely if that's the better choice. For new patios or driveways, we prep the base, set proper drainage, pour and finish the concrete, and if you want it sealed, we apply a high-quality sealer that holds up to Converse's intense sun and heavy summer storms. On tight lots or narrow streets, we manage access carefully so we're not blocking your neighbors or damaging the street.

When we're done, we haul away all debris, sweep and rinse the site, and walk you through the finished work. Your property is clean and ready to use.

Pricing in Converse depends on the size of the job, the condition of the existing concrete, site access, and what you're asking us to do. A new concrete patio or driveway in Converse typically runs from 6 dollars per square foot for basic work, up to 10 dollars per square foot or more for stamped or decorative finishes. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which address the settling and heaving we see so often here, starts at 4 dollars per square foot. Repair and resurfacing of existing cracked or spalling concrete can be as low as 3 dollars per square foot. A new garage floor or polished concrete runs 4 to 5 dollars per square foot. Sealing to protect your concrete from the sun and moisture costs 0.75 dollars per square foot and up. The best way to know what your specific job will cost is to call us at (210) 399-8031 for a free estimate. We'll measure your space, assess the site conditions, and give you a price that's honest and competitive.

Why is my patio sinking in Converse, and can you fix it without ripping it out?

Converse sits on deep clay soil that shrinks when it dries out in summer heat and swells when it gets wet. As the clay compacts and settles unevenly, your concrete slab sinks with it. The good news is we can often fix it without removal. We use a process called slab lifting or mudjacking to pump material under the settled concrete and raise it back to grade. This works well for patios, driveways, and walkways that are otherwise sound. If the concrete is cracked badly or the soil is too unstable, we'll recommend removal and replacement with better base prep and drainage. Either way, we'll solve the problem.

We had heavy rain last spring and our driveway cracked. Is that normal in Converse?

Yes. Converse's flat terrain and clay soil mean water doesn't drain as fast as it does on hillier ground. Heavy spring storms can saturate the clay, which swells and pushes up on your concrete from below. Freeze-thaw cycles are rare here, so the cracks are usually from soil movement, not freezing. If the cracks are small and surface-level, we can seal them to prevent water from getting in and making it worse. If they're deep or the concrete is heaving, we'll assess whether leveling, resurfacing, or replacement is the right fix. Call us at (210) 399-8031 to schedule a free inspection.

What does concrete leveling cost for a sunken walkway in Converse?

Concrete leveling and slab lifting start at 4 dollars per square foot in our service area. A typical sunken walkway in a Converse subdivision might be 100 to 300 square feet, so you're looking at a ballpark range of 400 to 1,200 dollars depending on how much the slab has settled, how accessible it is, and whether we need to drill multiple injection points. We'll give you an exact price after we see the job in person.

Do we need a permit from the City of Converse to replace our driveway?

Most residential driveway and patio work in Converse requires a local permit if you're doing a full replacement or significant expansion. Repairs and resurfacing typically don't. If your project touches the curb or right-of-way, or if your HOA has its own approval process, we'll need to coordinate with both. We handle permit paperwork and timing as part of our service, so you don't have to worry about it. Ask us about permit requirements when you call for your free estimate.

Our HOA has rules about concrete finishes. Can you help us get approval before we start?

Yes. We work with HOAs in Converse subdivisions all the time. Before we pour or lift, we can provide you with color samples, finish photos, and a detailed description of the work so you can submit it to your HOA for approval. Most Converse HOAs are reasonable about concrete work as long as it matches the neighborhood aesthetic. We'll coordinate with you and your HOA to make sure everything is approved before we show up with equipment.

Are you fully insured for concrete work on my Converse property?

Yes. San Antonio Concrete carries full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for all our crews. You're protected if anything goes wrong on your property, and our workers are covered if they're injured on the job. We can provide proof of insurance before we start work. That's part of being a professional contractor in the San Antonio area.

What's the best time of year to pour concrete or repair my driveway in Converse?

Spring and fall are ideal. In spring (March through May), the soil is moist but not saturated, and the weather is mild, so concrete cures evenly without the extreme heat that can speed up set time and cause surface cracking. Fall (September through November) is similar. Summer heat (June through August) can be hard on new concrete because the intense sun and temperatures near or above 100 degrees speed up curing and can cause shrinkage cracks if we're not careful with finishing and curing methods. Winter is fine too, though hard freezes are rare here. We can work year-round, but we'll adjust our process based on the season. If your concrete is failing or dangerous, we'll fix it whenever you call.
