Concrete Contractor in Lantana, TX - Even Driveways and Patios That Drain
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Denton that pours driveways, patios, walks and slabs for homes in Lantana, TX, with the base dug out, packed and sloped so water runs away from your house.
We're Groundwork Denton Concrete Company, a concrete crew based in Denton. I learned the work patching cracked and sunken walks, driveways and steps for a property management company, so we put our care into the part you won't see, the base under the slab and where the water goes. We pour driveways, patios, walks and slabs for homeowners in Lantana and the cities around Denton.

Driveways and patios in Lantana's golf course community
The community's own page describes Lantana as a master-planned golf course community with about 4,000 single-family homes. In a neighborhood of single-family houses, the calls are usually driveways, front walks and back patios, and each one has to meet the garage floor and sidewalk at the right height and send water toward the street or yard, not your foundation.
Heat matters more than people think. The National Weather Service's Denton normals put the July high near 96 degrees, and a slab poured in midday sun can dry on top too fast and turn weak and dusty later, so in summer we pour in the cooler part of the morning. May is usually the wettest month there, so spring pours get planned around the forecast.

Decorative concrete
Colored, stained or exposed-aggregate finishes for slabs you'll look at every day, chosen with you before the pour.

Concrete pool decks
Pool decks finished for bare feet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and the house.

When a slab or foundation has sunk, we find out why first, then raise it back toward level.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a utility trench or a cracked section that needs to come out.
Serving Lantana from our base in Denton
What to settle before a Lantana pour
Price mostly turns on the size of the slab, how thick it needs to be, whether old concrete has to be torn out and hauled off, and how much digging the base takes. The schedule turns on weather, any permit review, and the days the new concrete needs to cure and harden before you walk or drive on it.
Some jobs need a permit before we dig, so I'll sort out which office covers your address and what it wants. When a permit applies, we handle the application and schedule the inspections. My written estimate lists what's included, like tear-out and hauling, so you know what you're paying for.
- Where the water off your roof and yard should end up
- Whether old concrete comes out or the new slab ties in
- A broom finish, brushed so shoes grip, or something decorative
- Where we cut control joints, so any cracking follows a line we chose

Questions from Lantana homeowners
Do I need a county permit for a concrete pool deck in Lantana?
Where Denton County handles permits for your property, its Development Services Department issues permits for any improvement, including pools and digging or filling in a flood zone. The owner or an authorized agent applies with a site plan showing the work and its distance to at least two property lines, and we handle that for you.
Will my new concrete patio in Lantana crack like the old one?
It shouldn't crack the way the old one did, though some fine cracking is normal in any new concrete. We cut control joints into the surface so a crack runs along a straight groove we chose, and since most old slabs I've fixed failed from underneath, we dig out soft dirt and pack the base before we pour.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you both dates for your slab before we pour. New concrete keeps curing, slowly hardening as it holds its water, and heat and slab thickness change how fast that goes, so an extra day of waiting beats a weak spot under your tires.
Is base prep worth paying for on a new concrete driveway or patio?
Yes, and if the budget is tight, I'd trim the finish before the base. The base is what the slab sits on, it's buried on day one, and one that's only raked level settles with the dirt, while a plain broom finish still does its job for years.
Where can I check if my Lantana property is in a flood zone?
Look it up on FEMA's flood map viewer, and the county's GIS Division keeps FEMA floodplain data as well. Along Harriet Creek and Catherine Branch, the county regulates floodplain development with study maps until FEMA releases its regulatory maps, expected in 2025 or 2026. I check this before we dig, since flood-zone digging is on the county's permit list.
