Mont Belvieu houses, lots and the concrete they need
We're a concrete contractor in Atascocita, TX, and Mont Belvieu is one of the cities around it where we pour driveways, patios and slabs. Most calls here are flatwork, the concrete that lies flat on the ground. That means wide front driveways and back patios for newer houses, and longer drives, shop slabs or carport pads for older homes on bigger lots. We do the same work in Baytown and Dayton, so the ground out this way is familiar to us.
Newer houses here often sit on a pad of built-up dirt, and the yard around that pad is fill that hasn't had as long to settle. That changes where and how deep we dig, because a slab poured beside the house on loose fill can move even when the house doesn't.
Concrete work we do for Mont Belvieu homes and businesses
Concrete driveway building
A driveway that sinks or splits usually lost its base first. We dig out, pack new base and pour so water runs toward the street.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios on flat lots here often hold water against the house. We build the new slab to shed rain toward the yard, not your foundation.
Stamped concrete services
Newer homes here often pair a driveway with a stamped patio that looks like stone or brick. The pattern holds only as long as the base under it.
Concrete sidewalk building
A front walk tilts and trips people once the dirt below settles. We pack the ground first and cut joints where cracks should go.
Garage floor concrete
A garage slab here takes truck weight, wet tires and summer heat. We pour it to the thickness the load needs and slope it toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Colored and textured finishes suit pool areas and front entries on newer homes here. We choose finishes with grip for wet days, not just color.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard drops off or a pad sits higher than the lot next door, a poured wall holds the dirt. We plan where water behind it drains.
Concrete floor installation
For shops, barns and enclosed rooms, we pour an interior floor flat enough for shelving and equipment, over a packed base built for the weight.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks here bake in the sun and stay wet all summer. We texture the surface for bare feet and slope it so water leaves the deck.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps crack and pull away from the house when they sit on loose fill. We form each step the same height on packed ground.
Slab foundation building
For a shop or a new house, the slab is what the frame ties down to. We set forms, steel and anchors to the plans before the pour.
Foundation installation
We dig and pour the beams and footings under a new foundation, sized to the plans, so the weight of the building spreads into firm ground.
Concrete parking lot building
Business owners call us for lots that take delivery trucks and daily traffic. We plan base and thickness around the heaviest vehicle that will use it.
Concrete footings
A carport, porch or shed is only as steady as its footings. We dig past the soft top layer and pour so the load sits on firmer ground.
Foundation raising
When a slab or a corner of the house has dropped, raising it can beat tearing it out. We find out why it sank before we lift it.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut old slabs for removal, open trenches for drain lines, and cut joints in new concrete so cracks follow a straight line.

Permits, schedules and price for Mont Belvieu concrete
Every concrete pour in Mont Belvieu needs a permit from the City of Mont Belvieu, even a driveway extension, a sidewalk or a patio slab extension, so the permit has to be in hand before we put a pour on the calendar. We check which office covers your address before we plan anything, and we help you with the paperwork. The city also requires contractors that have to be licensed to register with it before doing any work there, so it's fair to ask anyone you're considering how they've handled that for your job. If you'd like to check on a permit yourself, City Hall's number is 281-576-2213.
A lot of what we pour here sits on newer subdivision lots, where the driveway meets a city street and an extension has to tie into the old slab at the same height. It's the same kind of work we do in Jacinto City and Channelview. Your price moves with the size of the job, how much ground has to be dug out and rebuilt, whether old concrete comes out first and the finish you choose, while the schedule turns on the permit, the inspection on a foundation and the weather. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your own job.
Ground, water and wind on Mont Belvieu lots
Lots here are mostly flat, so after a hard rain the water takes its time leaving, and it soaks the subgrade, the dirt a slab sits on. When that dirt was only raked level instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles with it, and you get a driveway sinking at the edges or a patio tilting back toward the house with water pooling against it. We dig out the soft dirt, pack the base in layers and set the forms so the finished slab falls away from your house, toward the yard or the street.
The city places Mont Belvieu in a 140 mile per hour wind zone. On a slab for a shop, a garage or an addition, the bolts that hold the walls down sit in the concrete, so we set them where the plans put them before the pour rather than drilling for them later.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Mont Belvieu
Here's how a Mont Belvieu job goes from your first call to the final walk-through, and who you'll deal with at each step.
Call or send the form
Call (713) 325-6337 or use the form, and we set a time for me to come out to your address. It helps if you're there for the visit, so you can show me where water stands after a rain.
I measure and check the ground
I take the measurements, look at the dirt and where the water runs, and check which office covers your address. You then get a written estimate that spells out what's included and what isn't, so there's no guessing about what the number covers.
We prep, set steel and pour
Our crew digs out and packs the base, then sets the forms and the rebar, the steel that holds a slab together if it cracks. I check every form and bar before the truck is called, because nothing under the slab can be fixed once it's poured.
We walk the finished job
When the slab has cured, we walk the finished job with you. I go over how to treat the new concrete in its first weeks and when it's ready for your car.
Questions about concrete work in Mont Belvieu
How do I get a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Mont Belvieu?
You apply through the city's online permitting portal, My Government Online, which homeowners and contractors can both use. The city's property improvement permits page shows which projects need one, and when you hire us we help you with the paperwork so it's filed before any pour is scheduled.
Does a new slab foundation in Mont Belvieu need an inspection before the pour?
Yes, the city says a foundation should be poured only after a Mont Belvieu inspector has inspected it, with no exceptions. The forms, steel and base sit ready until that inspection is done, so we build the wait into the schedule instead of calling the truck early.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Mont Belvieu?
There's no set price, because every driveway is measured on site and you get your number in writing after my visit. A broom finish, a rough brushed texture that gives tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. If the budget is tight, cut the finish before the base, because a plain slab on a packed base outlasts a fancy one on loose dirt, and the base can't be redone once it's under concrete.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Mont Belvieu?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, and I give you both dates for your slab when we pour. The wait is curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, and heat, rain and the mix all change how long it takes, so it's better to wait a little longer than to leave tire marks in a weak surface.
Will my new concrete patio in Mont Belvieu crack like the old one?
It may get a few thin cracks, because all concrete shrinks as it dries, but they shouldn't wander across it like the old patio's. We cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, before it starts cracking on its own, and we pour over a packed base so sinking isn't what breaks it.
What is the best way to pour concrete in Mont Belvieu summer heat?
Pour early in the morning, before the midday heat, because concrete that dries too fast ends up with a weak, dusty top. We schedule summer pours for the cool part of the day and keep the surface from drying out while it cures.
