Garland Concrete Repair | Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation, Replacement & Repair
Free On-Site Estimates Within 48 Hours | $2 Million Insured Crews
Garland Concrete Repair has installed, replaced, and repaired concrete driveways and patios across Garland, TX since 2008, with more than 1,600 completed projects in Dallas County. ACI-certified flatwork finishers lead every crew, and each new installation carries a five-year workmanship warranty.
Founded by a Former TxDOT Concrete Inspector
Garland Concrete Repair began in 2008, when our founder left nine years of inspecting highway bridge decks for TxDOT to pour residential driveways. Today, they walk every driveway and patio job before pour day and check grade, forms, and rebar spacing with the same eye state inspectors use.
Core Samples Before Every Repair Quote
Guessing at slab thickness leads to bad repair calls. Our estimators drill a 2-inch core from damaged driveways and patios to measure the real thickness and inspect the base underneath. Last year, those cores steered 140 Garland homeowners toward repair when the surface made replacement look inevitable.
A Written Pour Report for Every New Driveway and Patio
Each new pour comes with a report listing the batch ticket, slump test, air temperature, and cure plan. Two crew leads hold ACI Field Testing Technician Grade I certification and run those tests on site, so the paperwork matches what actually arrived in the truck.
A Three-Year Settle-Back Guarantee on Concrete Leveling
Garland’s Houston Black clay keeps shifting long after a slab gets lifted. If a panel we level drops more than 1/4 inch within three years, our ICRI-certified repair team re-lifts it free of charge. Fewer than 2% of leveled slabs have needed that return visit.
Driveway and Patio Work from Removal to New Concrete
Our in-house concrete crew saw-cuts failed panels, hauls off the debris, and corrects the base under your driveway or patio.
Repair Choices Based on the Condition of Your Concrete
Garland Concrete Repair looks at crack width, settlement, and surface wear first. Then we match the slab to crack repair, concrete leveling, or resurfacing.
Finish Choices for Driveways, Patios, and Outdoor Living Areas
Our finishers bring cured samples of stamped, colored, and exposed aggregate concrete to every estimate.
Concrete Estimates with Defined Dimensions and Scope
Most standard driveway replacements in Garland fall between $8 and $12 per square foot with us.

Concrete Driveway Replacement at S Glenbrook Dr, Garland, TX 75041
The owners of this older brick home on South Glenbrook Drive dealt with separated driveway panels and a low spot that held water right at the garage entrance. Our concrete crew removed about 500 square feet of failed slab and recompacted the subbase. We regraded the slope toward the street before pouring 4,000 psi concrete over #3 rebar. A clean broom finish and saw-cut control joints gave the driveway a tidy look that suits the brick, and the ponding stopped with the first heavy rain.
Turnaround time: 3 working days
Price: $4,000
Stamped Concrete Patio Installation at Valley Creek Dr, Garland, TX 75040
This family on Valley Creek Drive wanted an outdoor dining spot behind their traditional brick home, but the backyard only had bare turf and a narrow stoop. Garland Concrete Repair graded the yard and set forms for a 250-square-foot patio with reinforcement sized to the layout. Our finishers stamped an ashlar slate pattern into integral color concrete in a warm sandstone tone. A clear sealer wrapped up the job, and the table and grill moved out once the cure window passed.
Turnaround time: 2 working days
Price: $3,000
Concrete Sidewalk Leveling at Bluffview Dr, Garland, TX 75043
Several front walkway panels at this Club Creek home had sunk enough to create an ankle-turning lip near the front steps. The slabs themselves held up fine, so replacement made little sense. Our repair team drilled small ports and lifted each panel back to grade with high-density polyurethane foam. The foam filled the voids underneath, and we patched the ports to blend with the surrounding concrete. The homeowners walked to the mailbox that afternoon without a trip hazard in sight.
Turnaround time: Half a day
Price: $480
Concrete Installation and Repair Reviews from Garland, TX Homeowners
Danielle O.
Home Owner, South Garland
A driveway that finally drains properly
"Water sat in front of our garage every time it rained, and two panels had pulled apart. Garland Concrete Repair tore out the old driveway, fixed the slope, and poured new concrete in three days. The crew left the yard cleaner than they found it and gave us a printed date for parking again."
Kevin and Tamara B.
Homeowners, Northwest Garland
The backyard patio we kept putting off
"We wanted a place to eat outside but didn’t know where to start. The project manager brought stamped samples, helped us pick a sandstone color, and planned the slope so water drains toward the yard. Two years later, the patio looks exactly like the day they sealed it."
Adita N.
Homeowner, Club Creek
No more tripping on the front walk
"Three sidewalk panels had sunk near our steps, and I assumed the whole walk needed replacing. Their repair team lifted the panels with foam instead and saved us about two-thirds of what another company quoted. We walked on it the same afternoon."
Residential Concrete Services in Garland, TX
Concrete Driveway Installation, Replacement, and Repair
Driveways carry more weight than any other slab on a residential lot, so Garland Concrete Repair plans reinforcement and joint spacing around your vehicles. Our concrete crew pours new driveways at a minimum 4-inch thickness and adds extensions for an extra parking spot. When only one section has failed, we replace that area and leave the sound concrete in place.
Concrete Patio Installation, Replacement, and Repair
A new patio, a replacement, and a resurfacing job each solve a different problem. Our installers pour new concrete patios and extend existing ones when a family outgrows the space. Patios with deep cracks or sunken sections usually need replacing, while sound slabs with worn tops respond well to resurfacing. We check slope on every patio so rainwater runs away from the house.
Concrete Repair for Spalling, Scaling, and Broken Edges
Spalling and scaling peel away the top layer of concrete, often after hard freezes like the February 2021 winter storm. Garland Concrete Repair chips out the loose material and checks how deep the damage goes. Shallow spalls get a bonded partial-depth repair. Deeper deterioration and crumbling edges call for saw-cutting and new concrete that ties into solid material.
Concrete Crack Repair
Hairline shrinkage cracks and wider settlement cracks need different treatment. Our repair team measures crack width and checks for height differences across the crack. That tells us which filler fits and whether the crack points to a bigger problem. Garland’s clay soils swell after rain and shrink during summer droughts, so we tell you upfront when filling alone won’t stop a shifting slab.
Concrete Leveling for Sunken Driveways, Patios, and Walkways
Sunken concrete creates trip hazards and pushes water toward the foundation. Garland Concrete Repair lifts intact slabs back to their original height with polyurethane foam injection, using ports smaller than a dime. The foam fills voids beneath each panel and restores soil support. Leveling works best when the slab remains in one piece, and we confirm that before quoting.
Concrete Resurfacing for Worn Driveways, Patios, and Slabs
Resurfacing renews the top of sound concrete with a thin bonded overlay. Our crew grinds or shot-blasts the old surface first so the overlay grips instead of peeling. Faded, pitted, or lightly scaled driveways and patios respond well to this treatment. We won’t resurface slabs that are sinking or breaking apart, since an overlay would only hide the problem for a season or two.
Sidewalk and Walkway Installation, Replacement, and Repair
Walkways see daily foot traffic, mail carriers, and the occasional bike, so a lifted panel turns into a trip hazard fast. Garland Concrete Repair installs new walkways with gentle grade transitions at steps and driveways. Where tree roots have heaved a section, we remove the damaged panels and deal with the root conflict before pouring. Settled but intact panels often qualify for leveling instead.
Concrete Slab Installation for Garages, Sheds, and Workshops
A shed pad and a workshop floor carry very different loads. Our installers size thickness and reinforcement to what will sit on the slab, from a riding mower to a vehicle lift. We plan the compacted base, drainage, and truck access before pour day. These slabs support outbuildings and equipment, while structural home foundations fall under our foundation installation service.
Concrete Removal and Replacement
Some concrete has simply reached the end of its life. Garland Concrete Repair saw-cuts clean removal lines so the new pour meets undamaged concrete neatly. We break out the failed sections and haul every load to a licensed recycling facility. Before replacing anything, our crew corrects soft or eroded base material, since a new slab only lasts as long as the ground beneath it
Commercial Concrete Services in Garland, TX
Commercial Concrete Slab Installation
Equipment pads, dumpster enclosures, and commercial slabs all start with the load they’ll carry. Garland Concrete Repair reviews equipment weights, site readiness, and truck access with the property owner or general contractor. Our team then documents slab thickness, reinforcement, and mix strength in writing. That record keeps inspectors, engineers, and tenants working from the same plan.
New Concrete Foundation Installation
Developers and owners planning new residential or commercial buildings bring us engineered plans, and our crew builds the footings and foundation to match. We coordinate pour dates with City of Garland inspections and the project’s Texas-licensed engineer. This service covers new construction only. Garland Concrete Repair does not lift or repair existing house foundations.
Commercial Concrete Repair
Property managers rarely get to close a whole lot for concrete work. Our repair team phases commercial slab repair section by section so tenants keep access to entrances and parking. We fence off each work area and schedule noisy saw-cutting outside peak hours where the site permits. Certificates of insurance go to property managers before the first crew arrives.
Commercial Sidewalk and Walkway Replacement
Cracked sidewalks at a storefront or office entrance create liability along with a poor first impression. Garland Concrete Repair replaces damaged commercial walkways and corrects lips between panels. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design cap the running slope of walking surfaces at 1:20, and our crew checks each site against the access requirements that apply to it.
Specialty Concrete Services for Garland, TX Homes and Businesses
Stamped Concrete Installation
Stamped concrete gives patios, walkways, and driveways the look of slate, flagstone, brick, or wood plank without the cost of natural stone. Our finishers press the pattern while the concrete remains workable, then add a contrasting border if you want one. Plan on resealing every two to three years, especially on surfaces that take full Texas sun.
Decorative Concrete Installation
Decorative concrete covers more than one look. Garland Concrete Repair blends finishes, colors, and borders into a design that matches your home, whether that means a Mediterranean-style courtyard or a clean modern entry. Saw-cut diamond patterns, smooth trowel bands, and stained accents all fall under this service. We sketch the layout with you before forming starts.
Colored Concrete Installation
Integral color mixes into the concrete at the plant, so the color runs all the way through the slab. Color hardener goes on the fresh surface for richer, more saturated tones. Stain works differently and treats concrete that has already hardened. Our finishers show you cured samples, though every batch varies slightly, so expect natural variation rather than an exact paint-chip match.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate reveals the stones inside the mix by washing away the top layer of cement paste. The pebbly texture grips well underfoot and hides tire marks and dirt better than a smooth finish. That makes it a favorite for driveways and patios near the pool. Our crew seals exposed aggregate after curing to lock in the stones and deepen their color.
Concrete Pool Deck Installation, Replacement, and Resurfacing
Pool decks take constant splashing, bare feet, and pool chemicals. Garland Concrete Repair installs and replaces concrete pool decks with slopes that drain away from the water. Sound decks get a textured resurfacing overlay with better wet traction. Our team works carefully around the coping and leaves the pool shell and plumbing to your pool contractor.
Polished Concrete Floors
Polishing refines the concrete itself rather than covering it. Our crew grinds the floor with progressively finer diamond tooling and applies a lithium silicate densifier that hardens the surface. You choose the sheen, from a satin matte to a high gloss. Warehouses, retail floors, and modern homes all benefit, and polished concrete skips the peeling risk of applied coatings.
Epoxy Concrete Floor Coatings
Epoxy forms a separate coating on top of the concrete, unlike polishing. Garland Concrete Repair starts every garage or commercial epoxy floor with diamond grinding and an ASTM F1869 moisture test, since trapped vapor ranks among the most common causes of coating failure. Decorative flakes add texture and hide dust. Expect a few days before parking, depending on the product and temperature.
Concrete Retaining Wall Construction
A retaining wall holds back tons of soil, and Garland’s expansive clay pushes harder when wet. Our crew builds poured concrete retaining walls on reinforced footings with drainage behind the wall, usually gravel backfill with weep holes or a perforated pipe. Taller walls and walls near structures need engineering review, and we confirm City of Garland permit requirements before digging.
Concrete Steps and Stair Installation, Replacement, and Repair
Crumbling front steps make every trip into the house a little riskier. Garland Concrete Repair builds new concrete steps with consistent riser heights and a textured finish on each tread. We add a landing wherever the door swing needs one. Our crew also replaces broken steps and repairs chipped nosings, doweling new concrete into the existing porch to limit separation.

Concrete Materials, Slab Design, and Finishes in Garland, TX
Ready-Mix Concrete and Compacted Base Materials
Our crew orders ready-mix by strength, often 3,000 to 4,000 psi for residential flatwork. A compacted granular base keeps the slab resting on firm, even ground.
Reinforcement, Slab Thickness, and Joint Layout
Rebar or wire mesh ties the slab together, and thickness follows the load. Control joints at regular intervals give cracks a planned place to form.
Broom, Stamped, and Exposed-Aggregate Finishes
Broom finishes grip well and cost the least. Stamped patterns copy stone or brick, while exposed aggregate shows off natural pebbles and hides everyday dirt.
Integral Color, Concrete Sealers, and Surface Protection
Integral color tints the whole mix, and color hardener intensifies the surface. Sealers form a separate layer that guards against stains, moisture, and UV fading.
Repair Materials, Bonded Overlays, and Interior Floor Systems
Patching compounds rebuild damaged sections, and bonded overlays renew sound surfaces. Indoors, epoxy coats the floor while polishing densifiers harden the concrete itself.
How Much Does Concrete Work Cost in Garland, TX?
Two driveways of the same size in Garland may land thousands of dollars apart. One might need a simple tear-out and pour, while the other needs base correction, drainage work, and heavier reinforcement. The national figures below give you a starting point for budgeting.
Service | National range | Unit | What affects the price |
|---|---|---|---|
Driveway replacement | $8 to $20 | Per sq ft | Removal, base repair, thickness, finish |
Basic patio installation | $1,760 to $4,812 | Per project | Size, grading, shape, finish |
Stamped patio installation | $12 to $18 | Per sq ft | Pattern, colors, borders, sealer |
Concrete leveling | $662 to $1,883 | Per project | Method, slab size, void depth |
Concrete resurfacing | $3 to $5 | Per sq ft | Surface prep, overlay type, repairs |
Removal and base work move the price more than most homeowners expect. Breaking out an old slab adds labor and disposal fees, and soft clay underneath may need excavation and fresh base. Decorative work adds time on pour day because stamping, color, and borders each need extra hands.
Leveling and resurfacing usually cost a fraction of replacement, though they only make sense when the existing slab remains structurally sound. Garland Concrete Repair measures the area, checks the base, and reviews access during a free on-site visit before pricing anything. That visit turns a national range into a firm number for your project.

What to Expect from a Concrete Project in Garland, TX
Scope Review and Site Measurements
We start on site by measuring the area and photographing existing damage. Our team also checks drainage paths and truck access, since both shape the final scope.
Work Boundaries, Finish Selection, and Estimate Review
Next, we mark exactly where removal stops and settle repair versus replacement with you. Your written estimate lists the finish, inclusions, and anything outside the scope.
Removal, Ground Preparation, and Forming Where Required
On replacement jobs, our crew saw-cuts the old concrete and hauls it away. We compact the subgrade and set forms afterward. Repair-only jobs skip these steps entirely.
Concrete Placement or the Selected Repair Treatment
Our ACI-certified finishers pour, screed, and finish new concrete on pour day. For repair projects, we carry out the planned crack treatment, slab lift, or overlay prep instead.
Curing, Cleanup, and Project-Specific Reopening
We cure the concrete, clean the site, and walk the finished work with you. Our team then hands over written reopening dates along with your warranty certificate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Garland Concrete Repair in Garland, TX
Does Garland Concrete Repair handle driveway and patio installation, replacement, and repair in Garland, TX?
Yes. Our in-house crews pour new driveways and patios, replace failed slabs, and repair cracks, settlement, and worn surfaces. New installations include a five-year workmanship warranty, and repairs carry two years.
Does Garland Concrete Repair work with both homeowners and commercial property owners?
Both. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, and walkways, while property managers and developers bring commercial slab repairs and new foundations. Every crew carries $2 million in general liability coverage and workers’ comp.
Is resurfacing enough for a cracked driveway, or does it need replacement?
Resurfacing works on worn or lightly cracked concrete that sits level and solid. Sinking, heaving, or broken panels point to failed support underneath, and those sections need replacing instead.
Does a sunken sidewalk need lifting, or should its concrete be replaced?
If the panels remain whole and have only settled, foam lifting brings them back to grade for far less than replacement. Badly cracked or crumbling panels need to come out, and our repair team confirms which on site.
Which concrete finish balances appearance and wet-weather traction?
Exposed aggregate and broom finishes grip best when wet. Stamped concrete looks more decorative, so our finishers mix a slip-resistant additive into the sealer on patios and pool decks.
How soon will a new driveway or patio be ready for normal use?
Most new concrete handles foot traffic within a day or two and passenger cars after about a week. Heat, mix design, and finish shift those dates, so we put yours in writing.
