Asherton's farm-town character and wide-open lots sit on the same tough clay ground that challenges every concrete job across South Texas. We know these properties, the long dry spells that crack unprotected slabs, and the sudden summer storms that test drainage on modest driveways and patios.
Laredo Concrete Contractors has been serving Asherton and the surrounding Laredo area for years, and we understand why homeowners here call us: a cracked driveway or settling patio on clay-loam soil over caliche needs the right base prep and reinforcement from the start, not a patch job that fails in two seasons. We show up, do the work right, and leave your property clean.
Concrete in Asherton (78827)
Asherton sits on the flat, dry South Texas Brush Country, and that means your concrete sits on alkaline clay and clay-loam soils over shallow caliche. In drought years the clay shrinks and opens up cracks. When the summer monsoons hit or a sudden downpour fills the low spots, that same clay swells and pushes up slabs or creates drainage problems that wreck a poorly built driveway or patio. The heat is relentless, too: long summers above 100 degrees speed concrete set times and fade unprotected sealer fast. Most of the homes here are modest ranch-style houses with wide front-entry garages and covered back patios, and a solid concrete drive or patio is a real investment in curb appeal and property value.
Our team has poured and repaired hundreds of driveways, patios, and slabs in Asherton and across Laredo. We know the soil, the weather, and what it takes to build concrete that stays flat and crack-free for years: proper caliche base compaction, reinforcement, well-cut control joints, and finishing details that handle the heat and occasional hail. We also know when a slab has already failed, and we can level it, lift it, or replace it without tearing up the whole lot.

How a Job Works in Asherton
You call us at (956) 477-3546 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site visit. We walk your property, look at the soil, the grade, the drainage, and any existing concrete. We talk through what you want and what the site needs. No sales pitch, just honest assessment. If you need a permit for a driveway or curb cut in Asherton, we handle that with the city and make sure the work meets setback and width rules.
When we start the job, we prep the base right: we excavate to grade, compact the caliche, set up proper drainage, and lay reinforcement. We pour early in the morning when the heat is manageable and the concrete can cure without racing to set. We cut control joints to manage the clay's shrink and swell. If the lot is tight or access is tricky, we work around your property carefully. If you have an HOA, we coordinate with them before we start.
After the concrete cures, we clean up completely, haul off the waste, and walk through the finished job with you. We can seal it right away if you want protection from the sun and the alkaline soils, or we can show you how to maintain it. The work is guaranteed, and we stand behind it.
Concrete work in Asherton breaks down by the square foot and the scope. A basic concrete driveway runs about 6 dollars per square foot, so a typical two-car drive of 400 to 500 square feet lands in the 2,400 to 3,000 dollar range before site prep and permits. A patio is similar, 6 dollars per square foot. If you want stamped or decorative concrete, add 10 dollars per square foot or more for the finish. Concrete repair and resurfacing (patching cracks or grinding down a rough surface) starts at 3 dollars per square foot. If a slab has settled and you want it leveled or lifted instead of replaced, that runs about 4 dollars per square foot. Sealing an existing driveway or patio costs about 75 cents per square foot and extends the life of the concrete by years. The final price depends on the size of the job, the condition of the soil and any existing concrete, access for equipment, and whether you need a city permit. Call us at (956) 477-3546 for a free estimate. We give you a real number, not a range, and we stick to it.
