San Antonio's concrete takes a beating from the ground up. North of Loop 1604, your driveway sits on thin rocky caliche over Edwards limestone. East and south, deep expansive clay swells after rain and shrinks in drought, cracking and heaving slabs that were poured just a few years ago. Add 100-degree summers and sudden spring downpours, and you've got a recipe for broken driveways, sunken patios, and trip hazards that get worse every season.
That's why homeowners and property managers across San Antonio call San Antonio Concrete. We know the soil under King William's Victorian limestone homes, the tight lots of Monte Vista, the long single-lane driveways of the Northeast side, and the sprawling subdivisions pushing north through Stone Oak and Alamo Ranch. We've lifted hundreds of settled slabs, poured driveways that hold up to Texas heat and clay movement, and repaired concrete before small cracks become safety liabilities.
Concrete in San Antonio (78201)
San Antonio sits on the Balcones Escarpment, and that geology matters every time we dig. North of the Loop, we're working over white caliche and limestone bedrock. That means excellent drainage but shallow bearing capacity, so we design foundations and slabs to account for that. South and east, you're on expansive clay that moves with the seasons. A driveway or slab poured without proper base prep, slope, and control joints will crack, heave, and settle unevenly. We see it constantly: driveways buckled at the seams, sidewalks that have become trip hazards, and patios that slope the wrong way and pond water after a hard rain.
Our crews have poured concrete driveways and slab foundations across every neighborhood in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. We account for local soil, drainage patterns, and the intense Texas sun that speeds up set times in summer and fades unsealed concrete in weeks. We know which finishes hold up to hail, which sealers last through our climate, and how to slope a patio so water runs away from your home, not toward it.

How a Job Works in San Antonio
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your property, look at the soil, drainage, and what's already there, and talk through what you need. If it's a driveway in a tight Northeast lot or a patio under live oaks in Alamo Heights, we'll flag any challenges upfront. We'll give you a realistic timeline and price before we commit to anything.
Once you're ready, we handle the work. For new concrete, we prep the base, set forms, and pour to the right grade and slope. For repairs, we may grind, patch, level, or reseal depending on what the concrete needs. For slab lifting, we inject material beneath to raise settled concrete back to grade without tearing it out. If you need a permit from the City of San Antonio for a driveway or sidewalk in the right-of-way, we'll coordinate that with you. Most residential work moves fast. We keep the site organized and clean as we go.
When we're done, we'll walk through with you, answer questions, and leave your property clean. If sealing makes sense for your new concrete, we'll talk about timing and options. We stand behind our work.
Pricing depends on size, access, soil condition, and urgency. A basic concrete driveway in San Antonio runs from $6 per square foot. A patio or sidewalk starts at $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes run $10 per square foot and up. Repair work is often cheaper: resurfacing or patching starts at $3 per square foot, and slab lifting (which saves you from ripping out and replacing) starts at $4 per square foot. Sealing to protect new or existing concrete costs $0.75 per square foot and extends the life dramatically in our sun and heat. A 500-square-foot driveway, for example, might run $3,000 to $3,500 for basic concrete, or $5,000 to $6,000 if you want a stamped or polished finish. Tight access, poor drainage, or difficult soil can add cost. Call us at (210) 399-8031 for a free estimate on your specific job. We'll give you a realistic number based on what we see.
