Concrete you can park, walk and build on in Denton, TX
Ground first, then the pour
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company builds and repairs concrete for homes, businesses and rental properties, and we get the ground and the drainage right before any concrete goes down.
We're a Denton concrete company that pours driveways, patios, walks, floors and foundations, and raises foundations that have settled. Homeowners call us, and so do property managers who need work done around tenants. We work in Denton and the cities around it, and we're best known for driveways, patios and the careful prep underneath them that you won't see once the pour is done.
Call (940) 287-2036Concrete work we do
We plan every job around what's under the concrete and where the water will go. Price and schedule turn on size, thickness, tear-out, base work, finish and weather, and your written estimate spells out what's included.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway, with tear-out of the old one, a dug-out and packed base, and a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives tires grip.

Concrete patio construction
If you want a spot for a table and grill, we pour a patio that falls away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling.

Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio, walk or pool deck can look like stone or brick.

Concrete sidewalk building
Walks and paths from the driveway to the door or around the side yard, poured even so nobody catches a toe on a lifted edge.

Garage floor concrete
For a garage floor that's cracked, sunk or chipping, we tear out the old slab, rebuild the base and pour a new floor thick enough for the car.

Decorative concrete
Color, stain, exposed stone and borders that dress up plain concrete. It suits a front walk, patio or entry where you want more than a gray slab.

Concrete retaining walls
A poured wall that holds back a slope or a raised bed, built on a footing with drainage behind it so water doesn't push it out of line.

Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, barns, additions and commercial spaces, laid over a packed base with rebar, the steel that holds the slab together if it cracks.

Concrete pool decks
The deck around your pool, poured to drain away from the water and finished with a texture that gives wet feet some grip.

Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps, new or replacing a set that's cracked or pulled away from the house, formed so each step is the same height.

Slab foundation building
The slab a new house, addition, garage or shop sits on, with the subgrade, the ground under it, dug out, packed and checked before we pour.

Foundation installation
When you're building, we put in the foundation your plans call for, from the footings to the slab, so it's ready for the framers.

Concrete parking lot building
Parking lots and drive lanes for businesses, churches and apartment properties, built thicker for traffic and graded so water heads to the drains instead of standing.

Concrete footings
Footings spread the weight of a wall, deck, post or addition into the ground, so we dig and pour them to plan before anything goes on top.

Foundation raising
Sticking doors, sloping floors and cracks over doorways can mean the foundation has settled, and raising it brings it back toward level once we know why it sank.

Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for a new doorway, a utility trench or a section that needs replacing, so the rest of the slab stays intact.

Why people call us
I spent years doing upkeep for a property management company, fixing walks, driveways and steps that had cracked or sunk. Most failed from below, because the base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or the slab sent water back toward the house. That's why we start with the ground and the water.
You deal with me from the first visit to the final walk-through, and I'll tell you up front what's normal for new concrete, like where the cuts in the slab will guide any cracking. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application and book the inspections, and we keep you posted along the way.
- Ground and drainage checked before pouring
- One person from estimate to walk-through
- Straight answers on what's in the price
- Permits and inspections handled when needed
- A tidy site, worked around your household
- Your satisfaction, guaranteed
About Groundwork Denton
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company started in 2021, after I'd spent years patching other people's concrete for a property management company. We're a Denton crew that pours new work the way I wished the old work had been poured, and you can read how that came about on our about page.
- The base gets dug out and packed, not raked level, so the slab doesn't settle with loose dirt underneath it.
- We set the slope so water runs away from your house and off the slab instead of pooling against it.
- Control joints, the shallow cuts that give a slab a planned place to crack, go in on time so cracks follow them.
We treat your place the way I'd want mine treated. We park where you ask, keep the mess contained, clean up as we go and tell you plainly if something under the old slab changes the plan.
What working with us is like
From the first call you'll deal with me, and you'll know what's in the price before anything gets torn out. Here's what people usually run into on a few of the jobs we do most.
Early driveway pours
On a driveway in summer, we usually pour early in the morning, because concrete placed in midday heat can dry too fast and leave a weak, dusty top.
Patio slope checked first
Before a patio is formed, we look at where the yard's water runs today, so the new slab falls away from the house instead of adding to the problem.
A wait before you park
With a new garage floor, you'll walk on it well before you park on it, because the concrete needs curing, the time it spends gaining strength before it takes weight.
Seeing what's underneath
When old steps or a sidewalk come out, what's under them often explains why they sank, and I'll show you before we build the new base.
Planning your job and estimate
Scope comes down to size, thickness, what has to come out first, the base the ground needs and the finish you pick. I work those out on site, since no two yards drain the same way.
Your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, like tear-out and hauling of the old concrete, so you can lay it beside another bid and compare the same work.
If the number runs high, I'd trim the finish, not the base. A broom finish costs less than stamping or color, but the base is the part nobody sees on day one, which is why a cheap bid cuts it first and why slabs crack and sink later.
- Size and shape of the slab
- Broom, stamped or decorative finish
- Whether tear-out and hauling are included
- Where you'll park while it cures
- Whether your address needs a permit

Questions about concrete in Denton
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Denton, TX?
The price depends mostly on the size, the thickness, whether the old driveway has to come out and be hauled off, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete. Your written estimate puts a price on your job and lists what's included.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it needs time to cure and gain strength. The wait depends on the weather and the mix, and I'll give you the timing for your pour so you can plan where to park.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Most new concrete gets a few fine cracks as it shrinks, so the goal is a slab that stays level and cracks where we choose. A dug-out, packed base keeps it from sinking, and the control joints we cut give any cracking a straight line to follow.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Denton, TX?
It depends on the job and your address, so I check before we start. In Denton, the city's Building Safety Division issues permits, and when your job needs one, we handle the application and schedule the inspections with the office that covers your address.
Do I need a floodplain permit to pour a driveway in Denton?
If your property is in the city's floodplain, yes. Paving, grading, filling and digging there count as development, and the city has to approve a floodplain development permit before work starts. Flood areas lie mainly along Cooper Creek, Pecan Creek, Hickory Creek and the creeks that feed them.
Do you work outside Denton, in cities like Corinth or Lewisville?
Yes, we're based in Denton and work in the cities around it, including Corinth, Lewisville, Argyle and Lake Dallas. If your city isn't on our list, call (940) 287-2036 and ask.
