Edinburg yards, from the dirt up
When a driveway has cracked or sunk, or a patio holds water against the house, I look at why the old slab failed before I talk about a new one. Usually the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, moved or washed out, and new concrete poured on that same dirt cracks the same way.
That's why the base is the last place I'd cut to save money. It's covered up by the end of the first day, so it's tempting to trim, but a fancier finish or stamped concrete on a soft base still settles.
Where the water goes
We check which way your yard falls, so the new slab sheds water toward the street or the lawn instead of back toward the foundation.
What's under the old slab
Once the old concrete is out, we dig down to firm ground and pack the base, because loose dirt that's only been raked level keeps settling under the weight.
Where the cracks will go
Control joints are cuts that give a slab a planned place to crack. Cut on time, they keep cracks in straight lines where you won't notice them.
Based in Mission, working in Edinburg
We're a concrete contractor in Mission, TX, and Edinburg is one of the cities we work in across Hidalgo County, along with McAllen, Palmview and Weslaco. I come out myself to look at the job and measure it, and I'm on site with our crew when we pour.
The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on a permit, if your job needs one, and on curing, the wait before a slab can take foot traffic and then a car. The estimate gives you your number.
Before I come out, have a rough idea of what you want poured and whether old concrete has to come out. Photos of where water sits after a rain help, and if you already have city paperwork for the job, keep it handy. We're licensed and insured.

Who issues permits for concrete work in Edinburg, TX?
The city's Building Safety Department issues permits for new construction, alterations and repair, and it also reviews plans and runs the inspections. Whether your driveway or patio needs a permit is a question for that office, so we check with them instead of guessing. When one is needed, we handle the application and set the pour date after it's issued.
Who requests inspections on a permitted concrete job in Edinburg?
The general contractor requests each inspection, so on a job we're running, that's us. The request gives the city the permit number, the company name and phone, the inspection type and your address. Any re-inspection fee has to be paid before the city will schedule a re-inspection.
Can I apply for a building permit online in Edinburg?
Yes, the city's online portal, Citizen Self-Service, lets you submit permits, finish permit issuance, schedule inspections and get the results any time of day or night. On jobs we take on, we handle that part for you, and the portal is where you'd look if you want to see your inspection results yourself.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete can still crack, but a slab on a dug-out, packed base with control joints cut on time usually cracks along those joints instead of across the middle. Most old slabs that broke up were sitting on dirt that moved, which is why we spend our time underneath first.
