Corpus Christi sits on dark, highly expansive clay that swells hard in tropical downpours and cracks deep in drought, and that ground is pushing up under your driveway, patio, and foundation right now. From the 1920s Spanish Revival cottages along the bluff behind Ocean Drive to the brick ranches scattered across the Southside and Flour Bluff, and the newer subdivisions in Kings Crossing and London, every home in 78401 rests on the same challenging coastal plain, where concrete work demands local expertise.
We are Corpus Christi Concrete, and we have spent years pouring and repairing driveways, slabs, and foundations built to survive the Coastal Bend. We know why your neighbor's driveway cracked in a straight line two summers ago, why sealing matters here, and how to build drainage and control joints into flatwork so it stays flat when the clay moves. When your concrete fails, we fix it. When you need new concrete, we build it right.
Concrete in Corpus Christi (78401)
The Coastal Bend is not forgiving to concrete. Our dark expansive clay foundation swells when tropical storms drench the ground and shrinks hard when drought sets in, and that movement cracks and breaks slabs that were not designed for it. Shallow rebar and wire mesh rust in salt-laden Gulf air, spalling the surface and staining driveways near the water. Fresh concrete dries fast in our constant southeast breeze, and our long, hot summers mean timing and curing technique matter. Flour Bluff and the islands sit on sand with a shallow water table instead, which brings its own drainage headaches. We build concrete with proper post-tensioning, stiffened joints, and drainage to survive our climate and our soil.
Our team has poured driveways and slabs across the Southside, Del Mar, Calallen, and out to Port Aransas. We understand the tight lot access behind older homes, the HOA requirements in newer subdivisions, and the permit rules that apply to work near the right-of-way. We seal concrete against salt spray. We repair and level sunken slabs before they become trip hazards or worse. We show up when you need us.

How a Job Works in Corpus Christi
We start with a free on-site visit to your home in 78401 or the surrounding area. We measure, look at the soil, check drainage, and talk through what you need. We give you a clear estimate with no surprises, and we answer your questions about permits, timing, and what happens next.
When we start work, we handle the details. We pull any required permits through the City of Corpus Christi. We manage access around your home, coordinate with your HOA if needed, and time the pour around the weather. We build in the joints and drainage your concrete needs to survive the clay and the salt air. We finish the surface and cure it properly in the heat.
When we are done, we haul away the debris, clean the site, and walk through the job with you. Your property looks better than it did, and your concrete is built to last.
Concrete driveways in Corpus Christi start at $6 per square foot. A standard two-car driveway (about 600 square feet) runs roughly $3,600 to $4,200 depending on site prep, soil condition, and whether you want a broomed or smooth finish. Patios and sidewalks run the same rate. Stamped or decorative concrete starts at $10 per square foot. If your concrete is already down and just needs repair, resurfacing starts at $3 per square foot, and sealing (which we recommend every two to three years in our salt air) runs $0.75 per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which we do often on sunken driveways and patios, starts at $4 per square foot. The actual cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the ground is, whether we need to haul material up a slope or through a narrow side yard, and how fast you need it done.
