Our concrete work in Marshall
Marshall is a short drive east of our base in Longview, and the calls we get here sound a lot like the ones from Henderson. Homeowners want a sunken driveway or a cracked patio replaced, builders need slabs and footings, and small business owners need a lot that drains.
The price mostly depends on the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much work the ground needs. The schedule turns on any city permit review and the pour date. I measure the job myself, and the written estimate gives you your own number. On the older houses here, the base is usually the real job, because a slab is only as good as the dirt under it.
- Drainage worked out before the pour
- Base dug out and packed firm
- Owner on site from forms to cleanup
- City permit handled for our work
Concrete services in Marshall
Here's what we pour, cut and fix for homes, shops and builders in Marshall, and most of it starts with the ground underneath.
Concrete driveway building
A new or rebuilt driveway in Marshall needs a firm, packed base under it, so we dig out the soft fill before we pour.

Behind a lot of Marshall homes, the old patio has settled toward the back door. We slope the new one away so rain runs into the yard.

Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, pressed into a slab built on the same packed base as plain work.

Front walks on older Marshall lots tend to heave and trip people. We tear out the broken sections and pour a walk that sits flat and drains.

For a garage carrying a heavy truck or a workbench, we pour a floor thick enough for the load, with the joints where you won't trip on them.

Color, exposed stone and borders can dress up an entry or patio on a Marshall home, and we'll tell you which finishes hold up to daily traffic.

Where a yard steps down toward the street or a neighbor's lot, a poured wall holds the dirt back, with drainage behind it so water can't push it over.

Shops, barns and additions around Marshall get poured floors from us, set on a packed base and finished smooth or textured for what happens on them.

Around a pool, we give the deck a finish that grips when it's wet and pitch it so splash water runs away from the pool and the house.

Old front steps on Marshall houses often crack loose from the porch. We form new ones with even step heights and tie them in so they stay put.

Builders and owners putting up a new house or shop in Marshall get a slab formed, reinforced and leveled to the plans, with the ground prepped first.

For additions and new builds, we lay out and pour the foundation so the walls start square and level, which saves every trade after us some grief.

Small business owners in Marshall call us for parking areas that carry delivery trucks, poured thicker with steel inside and sloped so rain leaves the lot.

Footings are the buried concrete under a porch post, a wall or an addition. We dig them down to firm ground so whatever sits on top doesn't sink.

When part of a slab has dropped, we'll look at whether raising it back to level makes sense, and we'll tell you straight if it doesn't.

We saw-cut old concrete for a new door, a plumbing run or a clean edge where new concrete meets old, without breaking more than the job needs.

What Marshall properties ask of new concrete
Most of what goes wrong with concrete here starts underneath, with soft fill, water running the wrong way or a slab that's too thin for what parks on it.
Settled older driveways
When an old driveway has sunk, we dig out the soft fill and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before anything gets poured.
Water running toward houses
We check where the water goes before we set forms, then slope the new slab away from your house so it doesn't pool by the foundation.
Shop lots and work trucks
For heavier loads, we size the thickness and the rebar, the steel inside that keeps cracks from spreading, to whatever is going to drive on it.

We work across the cities around Longview, and each one listed here has its own page with what we see on jobs there. Pick yours to read about it.

From your call to cleanup in Marshall
I keep the estimate simple, because concrete is hard to take back once it's poured, and you should know exactly what you're buying before it is.
You get in touch
Call (903) 331-0147 or send the form. I call you back and set a time to come look at the job myself.
I measure the job
I measure, check where the water runs and ask what you need the concrete to do, because a patio and a truck driveway aren't the same slab.
Written estimate, pour date
You get a written estimate that says what's in it and what isn't, like hauling and cleanup. If you go ahead, we set a pour date.
Permit, pour and cleanup
We handle any permit the city requires, and the city aims to review residential ones in three working days. I'm with the crew from forms to cleanup.
Concrete questions from Marshall
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Marshall, TX?
Yes, the city requires a driveway permit for every new or rebuilt residential driveway. Its building guide counts the driveway as the part in the public right-of-way, the stretch that links the paved street to your property, and the city's Permits and Inspections office issues the permit and inspects the work. We handle the application and inspections for our jobs.
How do I find out if my concrete patio needs a permit in Marshall?
Ask the city's Services Coordinator at (903) 935-4455 before anything gets poured. The city's building guide names driveways, carports, pools and storage buildings as needing permits, but it doesn't name patios, so the answer has to come from the city. If they say yes, we take care of it for our work.
Does a concrete contractor have to register with the City of Marshall?
Yes, city code requires contractor licensing, and contractors register with the city online, by email, by mail or at City Hall. We register with the cities that ask contractors to, Marshall included, and we're fully licensed and insured. It's a fair thing to ask anyone before you hire them.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Marshall?
It depends on how big and how thick the slab is, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, and how much the ground needs before the pour. The finish matters too, since stamping or color costs more than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps feet and tires from slipping. If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish, not the base, because nobody sees the base until it fails.
How do I keep a new concrete driveway from cracking like my old one?
You can't stop concrete from cracking, but you can decide where it cracks and keep the cracks small. We pack the base, add steel where the load calls for it, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, while the concrete is still young. Then it needs to cure, sitting undisturbed while it hardens, and I'll tell you when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it.
What do I need to know about dumpsters for a concrete job in Marshall?
Any dumpster on a Marshall job has to come from a provider the city approves, and using an illegal one can bring a fine of $2,000 a day. The city can also deny inspections on a property that's out of compliance, which can hold up a permitted job. Before anyone starts, ask how the old concrete is leaving your property.
