A concrete driveway is one of the higher-ROI upgrades you can make to a home — it improves curb appeal, handles daily vehicle use, and lasts 25–30 years with basic upkeep. At Concrete Contractor Plus, we pour driveways across Austin and Central Texas that are properly graded, reinforced for clay soil movement, and finished to the spec the project requires.
Concrete Driveway Services & Design Options
Standard Broom Finish Driveways
The most durable, cost-effective option for most Austin homes. Proper mix design, rebar or mesh reinforcement, and control joints to manage cracking. Most standard driveway pours complete in 1–2 days.
Stamped Concrete Driveways
For homeowners who want more than plain gray concrete, stamped concrete driveways replicate the look of stone, brick, or slate with the durability of poured concrete. Pricing runs $12–$18/sqft for stamped work.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways
A textured, decorative surface that shows the natural aggregate in the mix. Slip-resistant, visually distinctive, and long-lasting. Good option for homes where the driveway is highly visible from the street.
Colored Concrete Driveways
Integral color mixed into the concrete gives a uniform, consistent tone through the full depth of the slab — not just a surface coating that wears off over time.
Driveway Replacement & Repair
If your existing driveway has significant cracking, sinking, or drainage issues, we assess whether a repair or full replacement makes more sense. For a free, honest assessment, contact us for an estimate.
Before & After: The Driveway Difference
Before: Cracked, sunken, or stained concrete that’s become an eyesore — or an asphalt surface that’s softening in Austin summer heat and requiring constant patching.
After: A clean, level concrete driveway that handles daily vehicle use, sheds water properly, and stays looking good through Texas weather cycles without constant upkeep.

FAQs – Concrete Driveways
How long will a concrete driveway last?
With proper installation and basic maintenance — periodic sealing and cleaning — a concrete driveway typically lasts 25–30 years or more. Reinforcement and proper drainage are the biggest factors in long-term performance.
How long does driveway installation take?
Most standard residential driveway pours complete in 1–2 days. Larger or decorative projects may take longer. Full cure takes 28 days, though the surface can handle light foot traffic after 3–7 days.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Austin?
Depending on your specific location and scope, some driveway projects require a permit. We assess permit requirements during the estimate and assist with the process where needed.
Will my concrete driveway crack?
Some cracking is normal in all concrete over time — especially in Austin’s clay soil. Proper reinforcement, control joint placement, and a good base significantly reduce cracking. We address each of these in our installation process.
Can I customize the design of my driveway?
Yes. We offer stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, colored concrete, and decorative borders. We walk you through design options during the consultation.
