Alice sits inland from the Coastal Bend, where 1950s and 1970s brick ranches anchor quiet neighborhoods on dry clay and caliche ground. These solid homes have stood for decades, but the concrete driveways, patios and sidewalks that came with them are showing their age, cracking under the weight of Texas heat, freeze-thaw cycles, and the constant settling of expansive clay soil beneath.
Homeowners in Alice (78332) call Corpus Christi Concrete when their original concrete fails or when they need a new driveway that will hold up to the inland climate. We know the ground here, the building codes, and the common problems that plague mid-century ranch homes across the Corpus Christi area. We show up on time, do the work right, and leave your property clean.
Concrete in Alice (78332)
Alice's brick ranches sit on dry clay and caliche, a dense, expansive layer that swells when it gets wet and shrinks hard when it dries out. That movement cracks concrete slabs, tips driveways, and breaks up sidewalks. The ground here doesn't drain like sand or gravel, so water pools and softens the subgrade. If your original concrete has buckled, settled unevenly, or cracked in wide patterns, the clay underneath is almost always the culprit. We've removed and replaced hundreds of failed slabs across Alice and the surrounding area, and we know how to prep the ground, slope for drainage, and pour concrete that stays flat and solid for decades.
We also handle concrete repair and resurfacing, slab leveling, and new construction flatwork. Whether you're fixing a trip hazard on your front walk, replacing a cracked driveway, or pouring a new patio, our team has the experience and equipment to do it right in Alice's specific soil and climate conditions.

How a Job Works in Alice
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your property, look at the concrete condition, check the grade and drainage, and talk about what you need. We'll measure the area, discuss your timeline and budget, and give you a straightforward estimate with no surprises.
Once you approve, we schedule the work around your calendar and the weather. We handle all local permit coordination for driveways and right-of-way work in Alice. On job day, we'll prep the site, remove old concrete if needed, set up proper drainage and base, and pour new concrete to spec. If your lot is tight or your carport is close, we work carefully to protect your property and your neighbors'. We finish with a thorough cleanup, haul away all debris, and walk through the final product with you.
Concrete cures best in warm, dry weather. In Alice's hot, humid summers, we use proper techniques to manage curing time and prevent cracking. We'll tell you when it's safe to drive or walk on, and we stand behind every job.
Concrete driveways in Alice typically run from 6 dollars per square foot for standard gray concrete, depending on size, existing condition, and site access. A typical single-car driveway replacement (around 300 to 400 square feet) falls in the 1,800 to 2,400 dollar range. Patios and sidewalks start at 6 dollars per square foot. Concrete removal and replacement of failed slabs runs from 7 dollars per square foot, including demo and haul-away. Concrete repair and resurfacing, common for cracks and minor damage, starts at 3 dollars per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete, if you want something more attractive than plain gray, runs from 10 dollars per square foot. Slab leveling and lifting, a smart option if your driveway or patio has settled but is otherwise sound, starts at 4 dollars per square foot. Cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the ground, whether we're removing old concrete, local permit fees, and how soon you need the work done.
