A Concrete Company That Knows Spring
Spring sits between two creeks. Spring Creek forms the line between Harris and Montgomery counties, and Cypress Creek runs across the south side. During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, about 30 inches of rain fell along Cypress Creek between August 25 and 30. Spring Creek near Spring crested just inches below its October 1994 record. That history shapes how we build here. Slope, drainage, and flood rules come first on every job.
As a concrete contractor in Spring, TX, we also work with a split map. Spring is not a city. It is an unincorporated community, so City of Houston building permits don't apply. Harris County handles permits south of the creek, and Montgomery County handles them in places like Harmony and Imperial Oaks. Our crews drive in from our base in Pinehurst, about 20 miles to the northwest in a straight line. We don't keep an office in Spring, but we know which county's rules fit your address.

Concrete Services in Spring
In Spring, water shapes most jobs. That is why foundations, driveways over roadside ditches, and repair of older slabs lead this list. You can also see all concrete services.
Foundation Repair in Spring
Common Spring soils hold water near the surface from about December to April. That wet and dry swing can move a slab, even without heavy clay. We repair foundations and pour new slab and pier-and-beam foundations.
Foundation servicesConcrete Driveways in Spring
If your driveway crosses a ditch in the county right-of-way, Harris County requires a permit. We pour 4,000 PSI driveways, 5 to 6 inches thick, with steel rebar on 18-inch centers.
Driveway servicesConcrete Repair in Spring
Subdivisions around Spring started going up in the 1970s, so plenty of driveways and walks are decades old. We cut out and replace cracked or sunken sections when the rest of the slab is still sound.
Repair servicesConcrete Patios in Spring
A Spring patio has to shed water fast after a big storm, so we slope each slab away from the house. In Gleannloch Farms and other deed-restricted areas, we plan around the HOA's review.
Patio servicesEpoxy Garage Floors in Spring
Humid Gulf Coast air and hot tires are hard on bare garage slabs. We coat garage floors with epoxy or polyaspartic systems, a good fit for newer homes in communities like Harmony.
Epoxy servicesStamped Concrete in Spring
Stamped, stained, and exposed aggregate finishes dress up Spring entries, pool decks, and backyards. Sealing matters in this humid climate, and a faded decorative slab usually needs a fresh coat of sealer.
Decorative concrete servicesSidewalk Repair in Spring
Tree roots and soft, wet ground can lift walkway panels into trip hazards. We replace raised or broken panels, and we build new front walks, HOA sidewalks, and ADA ramps.
Sidewalk servicesRetaining Walls in Spring
Most Spring lots are nearly flat, but yards near creeks, ditches, and ponds can wash out in heavy rain. We build poured concrete and block walls with drainage behind them to hold the soil in place.
Retaining wall servicesConcrete Parking Lots in Spring
Shops and offices along I-45, FM 2920, and the Grand Parkway need lots that drain and hold up to traffic. We pave and repair concrete parking lots, dumpster pads, and fire lanes.

What Spring Soil and Creeks Mean for Your Concrete
- 01
Wet, Loamy Soil Under Spring Homes
Much of Spring sits on soils like Splendora and Clodine. USDA describes them as loamy soils formed in the Lissie Formation. That ground is sandier than the Beaumont clay found farther south in Harris County. The catch is water. USDA rates them somewhat poorly to moderately well drained. In Splendora soil, a perched water table forms about 15 to 28 inches down from December to April. A soft, wet base is the main risk here, so we check the ground during grading and firm it up before forms go in.
- 02
Spring Creek, Cypress Creek, and Flood Rules
Spring Creek near Spring set its flood record on October 18, 1994, and Harvey came within inches of it. Along Cypress Creek, Inverness Forest and Northwood Pines were evacuated during Harvey. Since 2018, new buildings in the 100-year floodplain of unincorporated Harris County must sit 2 feet above the 500-year flood level. Montgomery County requires structures in or within 100 feet of the flood hazard area to be 2 feet above the base flood elevation. We check your flood zone before we plan a foundation.
- 03
Permits: Harris County or Montgomery County
Spring has no city hall, so your county sets the permit path. In Harris County, the Office of the County Engineer issues driveway permits. Any driveway built in a county right-of-way ditch needs one, and work in the floodplain, including paving and fill, needs a floodplain permit. In Montgomery County, the permit office reviews grading, fill, and other land work, and the commissioner precinct handles culverts. We pull permits when a job needs one.

Homes From the 1970s to Today
Spring grew fast once Houston suburbs pushed north in the 1970s. Ponderosa Forest went up in the late 1960s and 1970s. Imperial Oaks started in 1990, Gleannloch Farms in 1998, and Harmony around 2008. That spread brings two kinds of calls. Older streets need crack repair and driveway replacement. Newer ones need patios, garage floor coatings, and slabs for additions.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Spring
We work across the Spring area, from the shops of Old Town Spring near I-45 to Gleannloch Farms off Champion Forest Drive. On the Harris County side, that includes Spring Lakes between I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, Ponderosa Forest along Cypress Creek, and the Northgate Forest golf course community. North of the creek, in Montgomery County, we serve Imperial Oaks and Harmony near the Grand Parkway.
We also work near City Place, the area once called Springwoods Village, where ExxonMobil has its 385-acre campus. From Pinehurst, our crews reach Spring by SH 249 and the Grand Parkway, or through Tomball on FM 2920, which ends at I-45 in Spring.

What Affects Concrete Cost in Spring?
We don't post flat prices, because two Spring driveways can be very different jobs. Your written estimate covers the size, the finish, and the site work your lot needs. Our quote form lets you pick a budget range, from under $5,000 up to $40,000 and more. Here are the three things that move the price most in Spring.
Base Work on Wet Ground
When the ground under a slab is soft from a high water table, it needs more work before the pour. That can mean digging out wet soil, bringing in fill, or changing the slope. It shows up most in the wetter winter and spring months.
Ditches, Culverts, and Permits
A driveway that crosses a county ditch needs a permit, and some need a new or longer culvert. Montgomery County Precinct 3, for example, sets culverts for residents and charges by the foot based on pipe size.
Tear-Out on Older Slabs
Replacing a driveway in an older subdivision means breaking out and hauling off the old concrete first. Thick sections and past patch jobs add time. A newer home in Harmony may only need a new patio or an extension.

Concrete Project Works
Start to Finish
Here is how a typical Spring job runs, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Free On-Site Estimate
We visit your Spring address, measure, and look at drainage and the street ditch. We also confirm your county, your flood zone, and whether your HOA needs to approve the plan.
Demo & Removal
If we're replacing old concrete, we break it out and haul it away, so the new slab starts on clean ground.
Grading & Forming
We grade so water runs away from your house and toward the street or yard drain. On Spring's wet soils, we firm up the base before the forms go in.
Reinforce With Rebar
Steel rebar ties the slab together. Driveways get rebar on 18-inch centers, which helps the slab hold together as the ground dries out after a wet season.
Pour & Finish
Driveways get 4,000 PSI concrete, 5 to 6 inches thick. We finish with a broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate surface and plan each pour around the rain forecast.
Cure, Seal & Walkthrough
The concrete cures, we seal it when the finish calls for it, and we walk the job with you. Your work is backed by our written workmanship warranty.

Concrete Questions From Spring Homeowners
Straight answers from our crew. Still have a question? Call us and talk to a real person.
Get a Free EstimateDo I need a permit for a new driveway in Spring, TX?
It depends on which county you are in and where the driveway goes. In unincorporated Harris County, a driveway built in the county right-of-way, such as across the ditch in front of your house, needs a permit from the Office of the County Engineer. If your lot is in the floodplain, paving and fill also need a floodplain permit. On the Montgomery County side of Spring, the county permit office reviews grading and fill work, and your commissioner precinct handles culverts. We check your address during the estimate and pull the permit when the job needs one.
My home is near Spring Creek or Cypress Creek. Does that change how you build?
Yes. Both creeks have a long flood history. Spring Creek near Spring set its record in October 1994, and Harvey came within inches of that mark in 2017. If your lot is in a mapped floodplain, county rules control grading, fill, and paving, and new buildings must sit above set flood levels. Before we plan a slab, patio, or driveway near a creek, we look up your flood zone. Then we set the slope so storm water runs off the concrete and away from your home.
Why do foundations in Spring move if the soil is not heavy clay?
Much of Spring sits on loamy soils from the Lissie Formation. They are sandier than the Beaumont clay found farther south in Harris County, but they still hold a lot of water. USDA soil data shows a seasonal water table close to the surface in winter and spring on common Spring soils like Splendora and Clodine. When that soil goes from soaked to dry, a slab can settle unevenly. Signs include doors that stick, cracks in brick, and gaps at the slab edge. We handle foundation repair, and we pour new slab and pier-and-beam foundations too.
Can you help with HOA approval in Gleannloch Farms or other Spring communities?
Yes. Gleannloch Farms requires architectural review for exterior changes, and many other Spring communities have their own associations. Imperial Oaks, for example, has a property owners association. We give you a written estimate that shows the size, layout, and finish of the project. You can include it with your application. Plan for the review time when you pick a start date, so the crew is not waiting on a sign-off.
Do you work on both the Harris County and Montgomery County sides of Spring?
Yes. The Spring name covers a large part of north Harris County and a smaller part of south Montgomery County, with Spring Creek between them. We work in Harris County areas like Spring Lakes, Ponderosa Forest, and Gleannloch Farms. We also work in Montgomery County communities like Imperial Oaks and Harmony. Our base is in Pinehurst, about 20 miles northwest of central Spring in a straight line. We don't have an office in Spring. Our crews drive to every job.
Should I repair or replace an older driveway in Spring?
It depends on how much of the slab has failed. Subdivisions around Spring started going up in the 1970s, so many driveways and walks have been through decades of wet winters and hot summers. If the cracks are small and the slab is still level, replacing a few sections may be enough. If large areas have sunk, lifted, or broken into pieces, a full replacement usually lasts longer. We look at it on site and tell you which option makes sense.
