Concrete Contractor in Argyle, TX - Driveways and Patios Built to Drain
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company pours driveways, patios, walks and slabs for homes in Argyle, TX. We dig out and pack the base, set the slope so water runs away from your house, and cut joints to guide any cracking.
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Denton, pouring driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs in Argyle and the cities around it. I learned concrete fixing other people's cracked and sunken work, so we put our care into the base and the drainage nobody sees, and our own crew does the job from prep to finish.
- Base dug out and packed first
- Water's path checked before the pour
- Site cleaned and walked with you
Driveways and patios on Argyle homes
Where a driveway has dropped at the edges, water stands by the garage or a patio leans toward the back door, the cause is usually under the slab, a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. That's the work we're called to replace most, so on an Argyle estimate I look at the ground before we talk about the surface.
The Town of Argyle keeps a FEMA floodplain map on its website, and for any lot near low ground I check it before pricing the job, because where the water goes decides how long a slab stays even.
Concrete work we do in Argyle
Pick the work you're thinking about for your place in Argyle, and the page behind each one explains how we do it and what goes into the price.
Concrete driveway building
New driveways and tear-out replacements, with the base dug out and packed and the slope set to carry water off.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios poured on a packed base and pitched away from your house, so rain doesn't sit at the door.
Stamped concrete services
Where you want the look of stone or brick, we press patterns and color into fresh concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths set even with the driveway and steps, so nobody trips at the seams.
Garage floor concrete
Garage slabs poured new or replaced, with a slight fall toward the door so washdown water runs out.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed-stone finishes for a driveway border, walk or patio you'd like to stand out.
Concrete retaining walls
Poured walls that hold back a slope in the yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slab floors for workshops, additions and outbuildings, poured level and troweled smooth for what goes on them.
Concrete pool decks
Decks around a pool finished for grip on wet feet and sloped to drains, not back toward the water.
Concrete steps construction
If your front or back steps have sunk or crumbled, we form and pour new ones with even rises.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for a new house, addition or outbuilding, poured over ground we've dug out, packed and checked.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new builds and additions, from layout and forms to the rebar that ties it together and the pour.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking areas for churches, shops and small offices, built thicker than a home driveway to carry heavier traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings for a pergola, a wall, a deck or an addition, dug to firm ground so the load stays put.
Foundation raising
Where a foundation or slab has settled, we raise it back toward level and look for why it dropped.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a utility line or a section that needs replacing, without breaking what stays.
Working in Argyle from Denton
We're based in Denton and work in Argyle and the cities around it, including Hickory Creek, so if your city isn't on our list, call and ask. I come out to look at the job myself, so call (940) 287-2036 or use the form below and we'll find a time to walk your property together.
What to settle before we pour
Price comes down to size, thickness, whether old concrete gets torn out and hauled off, how much base work the ground needs and the finish. If something has to give, I'd keep the base and go plainer on top, because a broom finish, the light grooves that give grip, on packed ground outlasts a fancy surface on loose dirt.
The schedule turns on the pour day, the curing wait while new concrete hardens enough to take weight and, when a permit applies, the Town's review. I'll tell you which day you can walk on it and which day you can park on it, and my written estimate spells out what's included.
- Where roof and yard water should run once the slab is in
- Which finish you want, plain broom, stamped or colored
- Where the control joints go, the cuts that guide any cracking

Our crew preps, pours and finishes while I check the key steps, with any Town inspection set before the pour and at the end. Then we walk it together.
Argyle concrete questions
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway in Argyle, TX?
The Town's permit list doesn't settle it for driveways or patios, so I check with the Town's permitting office before we start. The list names fences, pools and home additions among others, and the Town takes permit questions at 940-464-7273.
Does a concrete contractor have to register with the Town of Argyle?
Yes, the Town says every contractor has to register each year before working inside Town limits. Registration includes a certificate of insurance showing at least $500,000 in coverage, so asking whether a contractor is registered is a quick way to know they carry insurance.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
Some cracking is normal as new concrete shrinks, but on a dug-out, packed base with joints cut early, it tends to crack along those joints instead of across the middle. Most of what I replace cracked because the base settled or the joints were skipped, so those are the two things we don't cut corners on.
Does it matter for a concrete job if my Argyle lot is in the floodplain?
It can, because the Town has a separate floodplain development permit, and its checklist asks for a $100 plan review fee, a site plan, and a grading and drainage plan stamped by a Texas certified engineer. If the map shows your lot in it, I ask the Town what applies before we price the pour.
