Groundwork Denton Concrete Company pours driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs for homes in Corinth, TX. We dig out and pack the base, pour and finish, and leave concrete that sits even and drains away from your house.
We're a concrete company based in Denton, and I started it after years of patching walks, driveways and steps that had cracked or sunk for a property management company. Now we pour new driveways, patios and slabs in Corinth and the cities around Denton, and we put the most care into the part you never see, the ground under the concrete.

Driveways, patios and slabs in Corinth
Where a Corinth driveway has sunk at the garage or a patio holds water by the back door, the trouble usually started under it. Often the subgrade, the ground a slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it kept settling and took the concrete down with it.
What moves your price is the slab's size, how much old concrete comes out, and how much digging and packing the ground needs, while the schedule turns on the dig-out, any permit and the wait while new concrete hardens. If the budget's tight, I'd spend it on the base before a fancy finish, because a surface can be redone and the ground under it can't. Your estimate spells out what's included.

A garage slab poured for cars and tools, with joints placed to guide any cracking.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and scored patterns for a patio, walk or entry you want to look like more than plain gray.

Foundation raising
Where part of a slab has settled, we look at what's underneath before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting

Before your Corinth project starts
In Corinth, building permits for major construction inside city limits come from the City of Corinth's Building Services Division, and whether your driveway or patio counts is their call, so I check with them before we start. When a permit is needed, we file it and book the inspections.

Questions from Corinth homeowners
Will my new concrete driveway in Corinth crack like the old one?
Your new slab can still crack, but a well-built one cracks where we chose, along control joints, the cut lines that give it a straight place to break. Most of the cracking I used to patch came from a base that settled, so we dig out and pack the ground and add rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together, where the slab needs it.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Not right away, since the slab has to cure, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, before it can take a car's weight. You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and before we pour I'll tell you what's normal for your slab so you can plan around it.
Do I need a permit for a shed in Corinth before you pour the pad?
The city doesn't require a permit for a shed under 100 square feet, but a shed or other outbuilding over 100 square feet needs one and can't be built on an existing easement. If you want a pad for a bigger building, find where your easement runs before we set forms, and we'll file the permit.
What does a contractor need to get a building permit in Corinth, TX?
A contractor registers with the city first, by setting up a Civic Access Portal account and emailing permits@corinthtx.gov a color copy of a driver's license, plus a trade license and certificate of insurance where they apply. New permits and plans are all submitted through Civic Access, and we handle that side when your job needs a permit.
Should I call 811 before a concrete job in Corinth?
Yes, the city says to call 811 before digging, and the utilities then flag their lines in your yard. Our dig-out goes down below the old slab, so those flags need to be up before anyone breaks ground.
