Aguilares sits along Highway 59 with wide, open caliche lots and rural homes built solid on flat South Texas terrain. Your driveway, carport slab, or patio needs concrete that can handle the heat, the clay soil movement, and the occasional flash flooding that comes with our border country weather.
Laredo Concrete Contractors knows Aguilares (ZIP 78369) and the challenges that come with pouring and repairing concrete on these properties. We've worked on driveways and foundation slabs throughout the area, and we understand what happens when alkaline clay shrinks in drought and swells after a downpour. That's why homeowners and property managers in Aguilares call us when they need concrete work done right the first time.
Concrete in Aguilares (78369)
Aguilares homeowners know the score. Your lot is wide and often sits on caliche base over clay and clay-loam soils. That ground moves. In the dry season it shrinks, and when summer thunderstorms roll through or the Rio Grande rises, it swells. A concrete driveway or carport slab that isn't built with reinforcement, proper control joints, and a well-compacted caliche base will crack, settle unevenly, or heave. Flash flooding along the low areas near Zacate and Chacon creeks can test drainage too. The heat is relentless, with summers regularly above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which means concrete sets faster than it does up north. That's not a problem if you know how to handle it. We do.
Our team has poured driveways, foundation slabs for carports, patios, and repair work on properties all over Laredo and the surrounding areas. We know the soil conditions here, the permit requirements with the City of Laredo, and the best practices for concrete that lasts in this climate. We show up early in the day when it's cooler, we use retarder when the heat demands it, and we finish with proper sealing so the sun doesn't fade your concrete and the alkaline soils don't break it down.

How a Job Works in Aguilares
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (956) 477-3546, we schedule a time to visit your property in Aguilares, and we look at the lot, the soil, the drainage, and what you want to build or repair. We talk through the work, answer your questions, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
Then we handle the work. If you need a driveway or carport slab, we prepare the base properly, set up forms and reinforcement, and pour concrete when conditions are right. If your existing concrete is cracked, sunken, or spalling, we assess whether it can be repaired and resurfaced or whether removal and replacement makes more sense. We coordinate any required permits with the City of Laredo, we respect your property lines and any HOA rules, and we work around your schedule. Access on a wide Aguilares lot is usually straightforward, and we make sure the work is done safely and professionally.
When we're done, we clean up. Your property is left clean, your new concrete is sealed and ready, and we walk through the job with you so you know exactly what you got and how to care for it.
Concrete work in Aguilares runs on square footage and the complexity of the job. A basic concrete driveway starts at $6 per square foot, so a 400-square-foot drive runs roughly $2,400 before any site prep or special finishes. Carport slabs and foundation work start at $5 per square foot. If you want stamped or decorative concrete, that's $10 per square foot and up. Repair and resurfacing of existing concrete starts at $3 per square foot for smaller jobs. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend in this climate to protect against the sun and alkaline soils, runs from $0.75 per square foot. The final cost depends on the size of the area, ground conditions, access, whether we need to remove old concrete, local permit timing, and how soon you need the work done. Call us at (956) 477-3546 for a free estimate. We'll measure your lot, assess the work, and give you a realistic price in writing.
