Concrete Driveways

New driveway pours, extensions, aprons, and full replacement built for daily Central Texas use.

Built for the way you use it

Plan the surface before planning the pour.

A driveway has to carry vehicles, drain correctly, meet the street cleanly, and still look right beside the home. CMD Concrete Contractors plans the entire surface as one working system rather than treating the pour as the only important step.

Preparation and performance

Good driveway work begins below the concrete. We evaluate the access, grade, soft areas, drainage path, and tie-in points before forming begins. A compacted base and deliberate reinforcement plan help the slab handle repeated vehicle loads and Central Texas weather changes.

A scope that fits the project

We can discuss a new driveway, a widened parking area, an RV or trailer extension, a garage apron, or removal and replacement of a failing surface. The layout is planned around practical turning room, clean edges, sensible control-joint placement, and water movement away from structures.

Finish and long-term expectations

Finish options range from a straightforward broom texture to decorative borders and color accents. During an estimate, we explain the tradeoffs in traction, maintenance, appearance, and project complexity so the finished driveway fits how the property is actually used.

Why local site conditions matter

Concrete in Central Texas is exposed to intense sun, fast temperature changes, heavy downpours, and soil that can move as moisture conditions change. No contractor can make ground conditions disappear, but careful grading, base preparation, reinforcement planning, joint placement, and curing create a more thoughtful installation. We evaluate the visible conditions at your property and explain what belongs in the proposed scope.

Common questions

Concrete Driveways FAQ

What affects the cost of a concrete driveway?

Size, thickness, removal of an old surface, base preparation, reinforcement, access for trucks, and finish choices are the biggest factors. We give a written estimate after seeing the site so the price reflects your actual driveway.

Why do driveways crack on Central Texas clay soil?

Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which moves the slab. A compacted base, reinforcement, good drainage, and properly placed control joints help guide and limit cracking.

Do I need a city permit for concrete work?

Many Central Texas cities, including Killeen, require permits for flatwork such as driveways and sidewalks. Requirements vary by city and project, so we review what applies to your address during the estimate.

How long before I can use new concrete?

Foot traffic is usually possible after a day or two, and vehicles typically wait about a week, though weather, mix, and thickness change that. Concrete keeps gaining strength for roughly 28 days, and we explain the specific care plan for your pour.
