Concrete contractor in Sanger, TX - driveways and patios built to stay even
Groundwork Denton Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Denton that pours driveways, patios, walks and slabs in Sanger, TX, starting with the base and the drainage under them so the finished concrete stays even.
I started Groundwork Denton Concrete Company after years of patching cracked, sunken walks and driveways for a property management company. Now we pour new driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps and slabs in Sanger and the cities around Denton, and we put the most care into the part you won't see, the packed base and the slope that sends water away from your house.
- Base dug out and packed first
- Drainage planned before the pour
- Joints marked out with you
Driveways, patios and slabs around Sanger
Most calls start with something you can see, like a driveway that's dropped at one edge, a patio that tips toward the back door or water that sits on the walk after rain. When a slab has settled like that, the cause is usually under it, a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it sank as the dirt moved.
On a replacement, we break out the old concrete, look at what was under it and rebuild the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before any forms go up. On a new pour, we set the slope first so water heads for the yard, not your foundation.

Concrete driveway building
A new driveway or a replacement for one that's cracked and sunk, poured over a base dug out and packed first.
Concrete patio construction
Patios sloped so rain runs out to the yard instead of back toward your door or slab.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, pressed into the surface while it's still workable.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths that sit flush where they meet the driveway, so nobody catches a toe.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is cracked, chipped or dusting, we can break it out and pour a new one.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and other finishes for driveways, patios and walks you want to look like more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Poured walls that hold back a sloping yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, barns or additions, poured level and finished smooth for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck with a textured finish for bare feet and a slope that drains away from the pool.

Parking areas and lots for a business or church, thicker where trucks turn and sloped to carry water off.
Concrete footings
Footings for porches, posts, walls and additions, dug to the depth the plans call for before any concrete goes in.
Foundation raising
Where a slab has settled out of level, we find out why it sank before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for new openings, plumbing trenches or removing one damaged section without breaking out the whole slab.
Serving Sanger from our base in Denton
We're based in Denton and work in Sanger and the cities around it, including Roanoke, with the same crew and the same prep on every job. If your city isn't one listed here, call and ask, because we work in more places than this site names.
To set up a visit, call (940) 287-2036 or send the form, and tell us your address and what's going on with the concrete. We answer seven days a week, from 8 AM to 9 PM.
Before you start concrete work in Sanger
The choice that matters most is one you won't see on pour day. If the budget's tight, I'd rather you go with a plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps concrete from getting slick, than cut corners on the base, because a fancy surface on bad ground still sinks and cracks.
Price moves with the size of the slab, how thick it needs to be, how much old concrete comes out and gets hauled off, and the finish. The schedule turns on whether a permit applies and on curing, the time new concrete needs before it can take weight. Your written estimate spells out what's included.
- Whether tear-out and hauling of the old concrete are in the price
- Where water off the slab and the roof should run
- Broom finish, stamped or colored, and what each one adds
- Whether a permit applies at your address, which I check first

Sanger concrete questions
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Sanger, TX?
The price comes down to the size, the thickness, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work. I measure on site and give you a written figure that lists what's included, so you can compare bids fairly.
Do I need a permit for a driveway or patio in Sanger?
Check with the city before you pour, because Sanger's Building Inspections office issues building permits for most residential work inside the city limits, and its list names new structures, remodels and additions rather than driveways and patios. I confirm with that office before we start, and if a permit applies, we file it and schedule the inspections.
How do I apply for a building permit in Sanger online?
Applications go in online through the city's Community Core system once the applicant has registered with the city. The Permits page posts the forms, including one for new residential and residential remodel work. When we do your job and a permit applies, we handle the application for you.
How can I tell if a concrete contractor is registered with the City of Sanger?
Ask the contractor, because the city asks contractors to be registered with it, and each registration only runs through December 31 of that year. The city's online permit system also takes applications once the applicant has registered, so a current registration matters if your job needs a permit.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
Some fine cracking is normal in any concrete, so we cut control joints, straight grooves that tell the slab where to crack, and I'll show you where they go before we pour. The big cracks and sinking usually come from a soft base or poor drainage, which is where we spend our time.
How long will I be off my new driveway in Sanger?
You'll stay off a new driveway longer than a new patio, because curing, the stretch while concrete hardens and gains strength, takes longer to reach car weight than foot traffic. I tell you when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it before we pour, so you can plan around it.
