We self-perform all concrete work with trained crews and our own equipment, so you're not dealing with layers of subcontractors and markup.
Residential vs. Commercial Concrete Flatwork
Concrete flatwork looks different depending on the application. Residential projects — driveways, patios, pool decks, sidewalks — prioritize curb appeal and smooth finishes. Commercial flatwork, like warehouse floors, parking lots, and loading docks, demands thicker slabs, heavier rebar, and tighter tolerances. 365 Builders handles both, using the right mix design, base preparation, and reinforcement for each job type so your concrete performs for decades.
The Concrete Flatwork Process
A quality concrete pour starts well before the truck arrives. We excavate and compact the subgrade, install proper forms, lay reinforcing steel or fiber mesh, and verify slope for drainage. Once poured, we screed, float, and finish the surface to spec — then apply curing compound to protect the slab as it gains strength. Proper prep and curing are what separate a concrete slab that lasts 30 years from one that cracks in 3.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete Options
Beyond standard broom finish, we offer a full range of decorative concrete options for homeowners who want more than a plain gray slab. Stamped concrete mimics natural stone, brick, or wood at a fraction of the cost and with far better durability. Exposed aggregate adds texture and character. Salt finish and brushed finish give surfaces a classic clean look. Colored concrete can tie your driveway or patio to your home's exterior palette. We'll show you samples and help you choose the right finish for your project and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does concrete flatwork take to cure?
Concrete typically reaches initial set within 24-48 hours and achieves full strength at 28 days. We recommend avoiding heavy loads for at least 7 days after pouring.
What types of concrete finishes do you offer?
We offer broom finish, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, polished concrete, and colored concrete to match your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Do you handle commercial concrete projects?
Yes. We regularly pour commercial slabs, parking lots, loading docks, and warehouse floors throughout Texas. We're equipped for projects of any scale.
How much does concrete flatwork cost in Texas?
Residential concrete flatwork typically runs $6–$12 per square foot for a standard broom-finish driveway or patio. Stamped or decorative concrete ranges from $12–$20+ per square foot. Commercial slabs vary based on thickness and reinforcement requirements. Contact 365 Builders for a project-specific estimate.
How long does it take to pour and finish a concrete project?
Most residential flatwork projects — a driveway, patio, or sidewalk — can be formed and poured in one to two days. Larger commercial pours may require multiple pours over several days. You can typically walk on the surface after 24–48 hours, with full use after 7 days.
Does concrete crack over time?
All concrete eventually develops some cracking as it cures and expands/contracts with temperature. We control this by installing control joints at regular intervals, using proper reinforcement, and ensuring adequate subgrade compaction. When cracking does occur along the joints as intended, the slab remains structurally sound.
