About Concrete Services in Garland
Garland has one of the largest inventories of aging concrete in the northeast Dallas metro, and it shapes almost everything we do in the city. Huge swaths of North Garland and South Garland were built out between the 1970s and 1990s, and those original driveways and walkways are now well past their expected service life. Replacement work, not new construction, is the backbone of what we do here.
The areas around Lake Ray Hubbard and Duck Creek add a different wrinkle — higher moisture content in the soil and a heavier tree canopy that both put stress on slabs over time. We see more root intrusion and moisture-related heaving in these pockets than in the drier, newer sections near Firewheel Town Center, so our approach to base prep changes depending on which side of the city we're working in.
Because so much of our Garland work involves replacing concrete that failed prematurely, we spend real time diagnosing why the original pour cracked or settled before we touch a shovel. A driveway that failed because of an undersized base needs a different fix than one that failed because of root intrusion near Spring Creek Forest Preserve, and getting that diagnosis right is what keeps the new concrete from failing the same way in another twenty years.
Recent Concrete Projects in Garland
Full Driveway Replacement in South Garland
South Garland, a 1983-built subdivision
Challenge
A homeowner's original driveway had spalled badly and developed a network of cracks wide enough to catch a lawnmower wheel, with visible settling near the street connection.
Solution
We tore out the full driveway, corrected the sub-base grading that had caused the settling, and poured a new 4-inch reinforced slab with properly spaced control joints.
Result
The homeowner now has a driveway built to modern spec instead of a 40-year-old original pour, with no visible settling after the first full year.
Lakeside Patio Near Duck Creek
Duck Creek, near Lake Ray Hubbard
Challenge
A family wanted a larger entertaining patio, but the existing yard held moisture longer than normal after rain due to the clay-heavy soil common near the lake.
Solution
We built up a properly compacted gravel base above grade and integrated a drainage swale along the low side of the patio to move water toward the yard's natural runoff path.
Result
The new patio stays dry within hours of a storm, replacing a yard that used to hold puddles for a day or more.
Walkway Repair Near Firewheel
North Garland, near Firewheel Town Center
Challenge
A front walkway had heaved at multiple joints from nearby tree roots, creating trip hazards the homeowner was concerned about for elderly visitors.
Solution
We removed the affected sections, installed a root deflection barrier along the tree line, and repoured with wider control joints to accommodate future minor movement.
Result
The walkway is level and safe again, and the mature trees along the front of the property were left undisturbed.
