Concrete Driveways
A new concrete driveway adds value, safety, and style to your home. We pour driveways built for daily traffic and Texas heat, using proper grading, compaction, and reinforcement to prevent cracks and settling. Choose from smooth gray finishes or decorative stamped designs that enhance your property’s curb appeal. Whether you need a full replacement or an extended parking area, we’ll design a surface that complements your home and performs for years.

Concrete Patios & Outdoor Living Spaces
Transform your backyard into a place you’ll love spending time in. We create custom concrete patios, courtyards, and entertaining spaces that blend perfectly with your home’s architecture. From broom-finished patios to elegant stained and stamped concrete, we provide options that balance style and practicality. Each surface is sealed for weather protection and long-term beauty, giving you a space that’s easy to maintain and built to enjoy.

Sidewalks & Walkways
Our concrete sidewalks and walkways are designed to make your property safer and more accessible. We pour level, even surfaces that improve both convenience and appearance, tying together your landscape and entrance areas. If your current paths are cracked or uneven, we can remove, repour, or resurface them to restore smoothness and durability.

Garage & Foundation Slabs
​The foundation of any lasting structure starts with properly installed concrete. We build garage slabs, home additions, and foundation pads engineered for stability and longevity. Each slab is carefully measured, leveled, and reinforced to ensure a flat, solid base for your construction project — whether you’re adding a new garage, workshop, or guest suite.

Pool Decks & Outdoor Extensions
Cool to the touch and resistant to weathering, our concrete pool decks and outdoor extensions are ideal for South Texas homes. We use non-slip textures and decorative finishes to create a clean, safe, and attractive perimeter around your pool or outdoor living area. All decks are sealed against moisture intrusion and fading, helping your outdoor space stay beautiful for years of use.

Concrete Repair & Resurfacing
You don’t always need to replace aging concrete — sometimes you just need the right restoration method. Our concrete resurfacing and repair services address cracks, stains, uneven surfaces, and weather wear. We use modern patching and overlay systems to renew your existing concrete, saving you time and money while extending the life of your investment.

Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Add character and distinction to your property with decorative concrete finishes. From stone and brick patterns to rich colors and unique textures, stamped and stained concrete offers beauty that rivals natural materials — at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for patios, porches, and driveways, decorative concrete is a popular way to personalize your home while maintaining durability.

​Decorative Concrete Options for Your Home

Concrete doesn’t have to be plain gray — with today’s techniques, it can be one of the most beautiful and versatile materials in residential design. At Pharr Concrete Contractors, we offer a range of decorative concrete options that elevate your home’s curb appeal, match your style, and provide durable finishes that stand up to everyday use.

Stamped Concrete
​Bring the look of natural stone, brick, or tile to your property without the high cost or maintenance. Stamped concrete is created by pressing detailed patterns into freshly poured concrete, producing a realistic, textured surface that’s both decorative and strong. Choose from classic patterns like cobblestone, flagstone, or slate — all sealed to resist stains and fading in the South Texas sun.

Perfect for:

• Driveways and walkways
• Patios and courtyards
• Pool decks and garden paths

Stained & Colored Concrete
If you want color and personality, stained and colored concrete delivers. Using premium acid-based or water-based stains, we can infuse your slab with rich, natural tones that mimic stone, earth, or even marble. We also offer integrally colored concrete — where the color runs throughout the mix — for a long-lasting, uniform finish that never peels or chips.

Popular choices include:

• Warm terra cotta and sandstone hues
• Deep charcoal or espresso finishes
• Subtle grays and modern neutrals

Each surface is sealed for weather resistance and UV protection, keeping your colors vibrant for years.

Broom & Smooth Finishes
Sometimes, simplicity is elegance. Our broom and smooth finishes create clean, uniform surfaces ideal for driveways, garage floors, and modern outdoor spaces. The broom finish provides subtle traction and a classic look, while the smooth finish offers sleekness for enclosed or sheltered areas.

Custom Design & Sealing Options
Every decorative project is tailored to your property’s layout and your personal taste. We help you choose the right colors, patterns, and sealants to achieve your vision — whether that’s a rustic courtyard look or a modern, polished patio. Our team applies high-quality sealers that protect against oil, water, and UV damage, ensuring your decorative surface stays beautiful year after year.

Beauty That Lasts
​Decorative concrete isn’t just about style — it’s about value. When properly installed and sealed, decorative finishes can last decades with minimal maintenance. They enhance your property’s appearance, increase resale value, and make outdoor living spaces more inviting for family and guests.

​Exposed Aggregate Finishes
For texture and traction, exposed aggregate concrete offers a timeless, natural look. This finish reveals the decorative stones within the mix, providing a pebble-like texture that’s slip-resistant and visually striking. It’s a popular choice for walkways, driveways, and pool areas because it combines beauty with function — cool underfoot, durable, and easy to maintain.

Did You Know?

​Properly installed and sealed residential concrete can last over 30 years, but in Texas, most damage happens in the first 5 years due to poor soil prep or lack of sealing. A well-prepared subgrade and routine maintenance make the difference between cracks in five years and a surface that lasts for decades.

Concrete Care & Maintenance Tips

Even the best concrete needs a little care to keep it looking new and performing at its best. Regular maintenance protects your investment, prevents damage, and extends the lifespan of your slab — especially in South Texas, where heat and rain can affect concrete over time.
At Pharr Concrete Contractors, we believe education is part of good service. Here are our professional tips for maintaining your concrete surfaces, whether they’re decorative, structural, or newly installed.

Allow Full Curing Before Use
Concrete reaches most of its strength within the first week, but full curing takes about 28 days. Avoid parking heavy vehicles, placing furniture, or sealing the surface until it has fully cured. This helps prevent surface dusting, cracking, and early wear.

Keep Surfaces Clean
Dust, leaves, and dirt can trap moisture and cause discoloration. Sweep regularly, and use a mild detergent or concrete-safe cleaner to remove oil or rust stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or de-icing salts, which can damage the surface or break down sealants.

Reseal Every 2–3 Years
Sealing is your concrete’s best defense against moisture, UV rays, and stains. We recommend resealing decorative or high-traffic areas every two to three years, depending on sun exposure and use. Resealing restores shine, prevents fading, and keeps water from seeping into small pores or cracks.

Control Water Runoff
Proper drainage prevents erosion beneath slabs. Keep soil and grass trimmed away from edges so water flows freely, and check for areas where pooling occurs after rain. Standing water is one of the most common causes of surface cracks and foundation settling.

Repair Small Cracks Early
Tiny surface cracks are normal as concrete naturally expands and contracts, but they should be sealed promptly to prevent water intrusion. We offer concrete crack repair and resurfacing services that match your existing finish for seamless results.

Protect Decorative Finishes
For stamped, stained, or colored concrete, avoid dragging metal furniture, using wire brushes, or applying abrasive cleaners. Place mats or pads under heavy items to protect the surface. If your decorative finish starts to dull, resealing will restore color depth and gloss.

Schedule Periodic Inspections
If you’re unsure about your concrete’s condition, we can inspect it for structural integrity, drainage issues, and surface wear. Regular checkups are especially helpful before and after major weather events.

Keep Your Concrete Looking Its Best
Whether you installed a new patio, a stamped driveway, or a garage slab, proper maintenance ensures it lasts for decades.

​Residential Concrete FAQ

How thick should a residential concrete driveway or patio be?
For most homes in Pharr, TX, a driveway should be at least 4 inches thick with reinforced steel or fiber mesh for durability. Patios and walkways can be slightly thinner, typically 3½ to 4 inches, depending on soil conditions and use. At Pharr Concrete Contractors, we evaluate every site before pouring to ensure the right thickness for long-term strength and stability.

What is the best time of year to pour concrete in South Texas?
Concrete can be poured year-round in the Rio Grande Valley, but spring and fall are ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is manageable. During hot months, we schedule early-morning pours and use proven methods to prevent rapid moisture loss, ensuring a smooth finish and proper curing.

Can you match new concrete to existing surfaces?
Yes. We specialize in color and texture matching, whether you’re adding onto an existing patio or extending a driveway. Using stains, sealers, and surface treatments, we blend new concrete with old for a uniform look that complements your home’s style.
​
What is the difference between plain concrete and decorative concrete?
Plain concrete is smooth and gray, while decorative concrete can be stamped, stained, or colored to create unique textures and finishes. Decorative options provide the same strength and durability as regular concrete but offer added visual appeal for patios, porches, and outdoor living areas.

How long will residential concrete last?
Properly installed and maintained concrete can last 30 years or more. Longevity depends on factors like site prep, mix quality, weather, and maintenance. We pour every residential project with a focus on durability — from compaction and reinforcement to curing and sealing — so your concrete stays strong and attractive for decades.

Can you remove old concrete before pouring new?
Yes — our crew handles complete tear-outs and replacements. We remove old or damaged slabs, haul away debris, and prepare the ground with proper grading and compaction before repouring. This ensures a clean, stable base for your new concrete.

How do I keep my new driveway or patio from cracking?
Cracking is often caused by poor subgrade, improper curing, or lack of control joints. We prevent this by reinforcing our concrete, installing expansion joints where needed, and using moisture control techniques during curing. Proper sealing and regular maintenance further protect your concrete over time.

Do you handle permits for residential concrete work?
Yes. For projects that require city approval, such as large driveways or additions near property lines, we help coordinate local permitting in Pharr and neighboring cities. Our experience with local codes ensures your project meets all requirements from start to finish.
