Driveways, patios and slabs across Mesquite
I started this business in Mesquite in 2023. Most of our calls here come from homeowners with a driveway, patio or front walk that has cracked, sunk or started holding water. Some of the city's neighborhoods still have concrete that's been down a long time, and some newer streets have slabs that are already showing where the base wasn't done right. Builders and property owners call us here too, for footings, foundations and parking areas. We work the cities around Mesquite the same way, including Balch Springs and Sunnyvale.
On most of these jobs the old slab isn't the real problem. What's under it is. A driveway that settled usually sat on dirt that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so we take it down to firm ground and rebuild the subgrade, the packed base the slab sits on, before anything gets poured.
Permits, inspections and pricing for Mesquite concrete work
Construction permits in Mesquite come from the city's Building Inspection division, and when your job needs one, the inspection is what sets pour day. Work under a permit has to stay open and exposed until the city approves it, so our forms and steel sit ready until the inspector passes them, and only then do I book the truck. Anyone who pulls a permit here has to register with the city for a Professional License first, so ask any contractor you're weighing whether they hold one. We're fully licensed and insured. Before we set a date, we check with the city on what your job needs, and when a permit is required we handle it.
Getting the truck and crew in is a big part of planning a Mesquite job, because plenty of driveways here run off a back alley or sit close to the neighbor's, and that changes how we stage the forms and the pour. Beyond that, the price moves mostly with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work it needs. The schedule turns on the permit and inspection, the prep and the cure. We plan jobs in Garland the same way. My written estimate spells out what's included, so you can see where the money goes.

Concrete driveway building
A lot of Mesquite driveways have cracked or sunk where the base gave out. For concrete driveway building, we tear out the old slab, rebuild the base and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios here often hold water or tip toward the house. We set the new slab to fall away from your foundation so rain runs off into the yard.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks on older lots crack and lift, and that leaves edges people trip on. We cut out the bad sections and pour them back level with the rest.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps on older houses often settle and pull away from the porch. We break out the old set and form new steps on a packed base.
Garage floor concrete
Older garage floors here are often cracked or sunk at the door. We take out the worn slab, rebuild what's under it and pour a new floor.
Concrete footings
Builders and property owners call us for footings under additions and new houses. We dig the trenches, form them and set the steel before the truck is booked.
How a Mesquite concrete job goes once you call
Call or send a request
Call (214) 429-3296 or use the form, and tell us what you need poured or replaced. We set a time for me to come out, and you don't need measurements ready.
I walk and measure the job
I measure, check the old concrete and where water runs on your lot, and ask how you'll use the slab. It helps if you're home for the walk, and the written estimate that follows shows what's in the price and what isn't.
We line up permit and materials
Once you say go, I set the date, order materials and handle any permit the city requires. When there's a permit, the city's review and inspection set pour day, so I book the truck only after the prep has passed.
Pour day and cleanup
Our crew digs out, packs the base, sets forms and steel, then pours and finishes while I run the day. We clean up, and before we leave we tell you when it's ready to walk on and when it's ready for a car.
Common questions
Which concrete projects need a permit in Mesquite, TX?
Ask the Building Inspection division about your job before anyone pours, because the city's permit list covers new construction, repairs, remodels and other items without naming driveways or patios. If your project fills, grades or digs out part of the yard, the city also has a grading permit for that kind of ground work. The division takes questions on codes, inspections and permit submittals at 972-216-6212, and we check this for every job before we set a date.
Can a homeowner pull their own building permit in Mesquite?
Yes, if you own the house, live in it and have it homesteaded through the Dallas Central Appraisal District. You'd register for the city's Professional License first, which costs nothing for work on your own homestead, and then apply through Citizen Self Service, the city's online permit system. When we do the job, we handle the permit so you don't have to.
How do I find out if my Mesquite house is in a FEMA floodplain?
Look up your address on FEMA's floodplain map, which the city's floodplain management page points you to, or call the city's stormwater staff at 972-329-8537. It's worth checking before a new patio, a wider driveway or any regrading, since those change how water moves on your lot. I also look at where the water runs when I come out for the estimate.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Mesquite, TX?
Your price depends on the driveway's size and how much tear-out and base work it needs, so I don't quote a number until I've walked it. If the budget is tight, I'd keep the money in the base and take a plain broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, because a nicer surface can't save a slab that settles. The base is hidden on day one and is usually the first thing people want to cut, and it's the part I'd protect.
Will a new concrete driveway in Mesquite crack like my old one?
It usually won't crack the same way, because most old cracks come from a base that was raked level instead of packed, joints cut late or skipped, or a midday pour that left a weak, dusty top. We pack the base, set rebar, the steel inside that holds the slab together, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the concrete a straight place to crack where it won't show. Concrete can still crack, but it cracks where we planned it.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on it within a few days, but give it longer before you park a car on it, because concrete keeps curing, slowly hardening and gaining strength, well after the pour. Before pour day, most of the wait is prep, plus the permit and inspection when the city requires them. I'll give you the dates for your slab on pour day.
