What's different about concrete work in Dallas?
The soil: much of North Texas sits on expansive clay, so local contractors recommend 5 to 6 inches of concrete on clay lots instead of the usual 4. That clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. The houses matter too: the median Dallas home was built in 1981, according to Census data, which is worth knowing when you weigh repairing an older slab against replacing it. Common questions about cracking, summer pours and resurfacing are answered in Dallas concrete questions.
Who checks a concrete contractor in Dallas?
The City of Dallas does, by registering contractors by class; paving residential driveways falls under its concrete/asphalt/paving class. Registration isn't a license or a quality rating, so it is one check among several. The guide to choosing a concrete contractor lists the others, how we vet our pros explains what we check before a pro receives requests, and the permit guide explains who applies for what.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Dallas?
About $7 to $14 per square foot for a standard broom finish, going by the prices local contractors publish. At a typical Dallas rate, a two-car driveway of about 600 square feet runs $4,200 to $6,000, and tearing out an old one adds $2 to $4 per square foot (removal costs). The Dallas concrete cost guide ranks what moves a quote.
Do you need a permit to pour a driveway in Dallas?
Usually, yes. Dallas requires a permit for new pours and full replacements, and Public Works requires a permit for any construction work within the public right-of-way, which a new driveway approach can reach. Who applies, and how each suburb differs, is covered in this Dallas guide.
How thick should a driveway be on Dallas clay soil?
5 to 6 inches on expansive clay instead of the usual 4, with 3,500 to 4,000 PSI concrete and rebar rather than fiber mesh alone. See concrete driveways in Dallas. Send a request and our vetted local concrete pro will look at the soil and slope.
How long does a concrete driveway last in Dallas?
A properly installed concrete driveway has a 25- to 30-year life in this climate; the upper end depends on compaction, thickness, rebar and resealing. Dallas concrete questions compares it with asphalt.
Can concrete be poured in a Dallas summer?
Yes, but quickly: in Texas summer heat the window to finish 600-plus square feet of wet concrete is about 90 minutes, so crew size matters. Retarders that slow setting on hot days add $5 to $10 per cubic yard.
Is stamped concrete worth the extra cost?
Only if you want the look: stamping adds $3 to $11 per square foot over a broom finish and buys appearance rather than strength. It typically needs resealing every few years to keep its color. The stamped concrete page has local ranges.
