Concrete Contractor in Roanoke, TX - Driveways and Patios That Stay Even and Drain
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, walks and slabs for homes in Roanoke, TX, with the dug-out, packed base and drainage planning under them that keep the concrete even.
I started Groundwork Denton Concrete Company in Denton after years of patching cracked and sunken walks, driveways and steps for a property management company. Now we pour new driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs for homeowners and property managers in Roanoke and the cities around Denton, and we put as much care into the base under the concrete as into the finish you see.

- Drainage planned before the pour

Driveways, patios and slabs around Roanoke
When a homeowner calls us, it usually starts with something they can see, like a driveway that's sunk at one corner, a patio holding a puddle or a walk that's cracked and lifted. Where that's happened, the trouble is usually the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, raked level instead of dug out and packed. I spent years patching that kind of work, so it's where we start.
The city points out that rain carries what's on the ground straight into local creeks, so the water coming off your slab matters past your own yard. Before we set forms, I look at where it runs now, and we pitch the new concrete away from your house.
Concrete work we do in Roanoke
Pick the work you're planning for your Roanoke property below, and each page explains how we do it and what goes into the price.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway on a dug-out, packed base, sloped so rain runs toward the street instead of the garage.
Concrete patio construction
Where an old patio tilts toward the back door, we tear it out and pour one that sheds water away.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped patterns pressed into fresh concrete for a stone or brick look, over the same packed base.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths poured even with the steps and driveway, so nobody catches a toe on a lip.
Garage floor concrete
If a garage floor has cracked, dusted or settled, we replace the slab and finish it smooth for cars.
Decorative concrete
Colored, stained or textured finishes for walks and patios that should look like more than plain gray.
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 concrete floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured flat and finished for how the room gets used.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we pour a deck with a textured top for wet feet, sloped away from the water.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps with even step heights, replacing ones that have cracked, sunk or pulled away from the house.
Slab foundation building
The slab a new garage, shed or addition sits on, built over a prepared base with steel inside.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new structures on your property, from layout and digging through the pour.
Concrete parking lot building
For a shop, office or rental property, a parking lot poured thick enough for the traffic it carries.
Concrete footings
Footings, the buried concrete that carries a wall, post or porch, dug to size and poured first.
Foundation raising
Where part of a slab or foundation has settled, we work to bring it back toward level.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for new doors, plumbing runs or joints that should have been cut.

Before you plan concrete work in Roanoke
Price mostly turns on what's under and around the pour, like how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs, how thick the slab is and whether you want stamping or color. If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, because nobody sees the base but it's what keeps the slab even.
Timing turns on the weather, the cure and any permit. If your job needs one, we handle the application with Roanoke's Permits Department and schedule the inspections, and the city has any contractor doing permitted work register with it first.
- Whether tear-out and hauling of the old concrete are in the price
- Where water runs off the slab now and where it should go
- A broom finish, the brushed texture that grips underfoot, or stamping and color
- How long you can go without using the driveway or patio

Questions from Roanoke homeowners
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway in Roanoke?
Check before you pour, because Roanoke's permit list names work like foundation repairs and accessory buildings rather than settling every driveway, and I confirm it for your address before we start. The city's permitting page has a diagram showing which permits a project needs.
What's the fee for starting concrete work before a permit in Roanoke?
Starting before the needed permits can bring a fee of up to $500.00, set by the building official, on top of the regular permit fees. That's money nobody needs to spend, so when a permit applies we wait until it's issued before our crew breaks ground.
Does foundation repair need a permit in Roanoke, TX?
Yes, foundation repairs in Roanoke need a permit, a company registered with the city and a stamped design from an engineer. When the work is done, the company uploads a final report and the permit closes with no field inspections, though the city lists an exception where the "repair work includes plumbing."
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
New concrete can still crack, but control joints, the grooves we cut on purpose, give it a straight line to crack along instead of a random one. Most of the cracked and sunken concrete I patched over the years sat on a base raked level instead of dug out and packed, so that's where we put the work.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Plan on walking on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps getting stronger while it cures, the wait before it's ready for weight. I'll give you both days for your pour, and a cold or wet week can stretch them.
