When You Need Concrete Replacement
Replacement is usually the answer when a slab is broken into many pieces, has sunk unevenly in several spots, or has heaved so much that it no longer drains. Crumbling surfaces, exposed rebar and deep spalling are also signs the concrete is done. If you have patched the same driveway more than once and the cracks keep coming back, the base underneath likely needs to be rebuilt, and that means pulling the old slab.
Our Process
Assess and quote
We look at the slab, figure out why it failed and explain what we will change so the new one lasts longer.
Tear out and haul off
Our crew breaks up the old concrete, loads it out and leaves a clean work area.
Rebuild the base
We remove soft or wet soil, add and compact new base material and correct the slope.
Form, reinforce and pour
We set forms, place rebar or wire mesh and pour new concrete with the finish you pick.
Cure and reopen
We cut control joints, cure the slab properly and tell you when it is ready for feet and vehicles.
Built for Georgetown Soil and Heat
Old slabs in Georgetown often fail for the same reasons: thin base, no reinforcement and water getting underneath. On the clay soils east of I-35 that shortcut shows up as heaving and wide cracks within a few years. When we replace concrete, we dig out the soft material, build a compacted base, add reinforcement and slope the new slab so rain runs off. In summer we pour early and keep the slab damp while it cures, since fast drying in the heat is a common cause of early cracking.

Concrete Replacement FAQ
Should I repair or replace my concrete driveway?
If the driveway has a few cracks or one sunken section, repair may be enough. If it is broken in many places or keeps cracking after patches, replacement is usually the better value. We will look at it and give you our recommendation.
Do you haul away the old concrete?
Yes. Austin Concrete Contractors Georgetown breaks out and hauls off the old concrete as part of a replacement job, so you are not left with a pile of rubble.
Can you replace just part of a driveway in Georgetown, TX?
Yes, we can replace individual sections when the rest of the slab is sound. The new concrete will look a little different from older concrete at first, so some homeowners choose to replace the whole drive.
How long does concrete replacement take?
Tear out and pour for a typical driveway or patio often happen over a few days, depending on size and weather. Then the new concrete needs time to cure before heavy use, and we will give you that timeline up front.
How thick should a replacement concrete driveway be?
Driveways are poured thicker than a typical sidewalk, and areas that carry a heavy truck, trailer or RV may call for extra thickness and more reinforcement. We match the thickness to what you drive and park on it and spell it out in your quote.
What affects the cost of replacing a concrete driveway or patio?
The size of the area, how thick the old slab is, how much base needs to be rebuilt and how easy it is to get equipment in all change the price. The finish you pick plays a part too. Call 737-352-6148 or request a quote and we will price your specific job.
Why does concrete keep cracking on clay soil in Central Texas?
Clay swells when it gets wet and shrinks during drought, so a slab on a thin or loose base gets pushed and pulled every season. A replacement is the chance to fix that by digging out soft soil, building a compacted base and adding reinforcement and control joints.
Do I need a permit to replace my driveway in Georgetown TX?
It depends on the city, the size of the work and whether the driveway meets the street or a public sidewalk. Requirements vary by city, and HOAs may also want to approve changes in size or finish, so we can talk it through with you when we look at the job.
