Most residential driveway pours take one to two days of active work including form-setting, base prep, and the actual pour. Concrete reaches walkable strength in 24 to 48 hours, light vehicle traffic at 7 days, and full design strength at 28 days. We’ll give you a specific timeline based on your driveway size, weather forecast, and concrete mix.
Concrete driveway costs in Magnolia and Montgomery County vary based on square footage, thickness, finish type, rebar specifications, and site prep needs. Standard 4-inch broom-finish residential driveways typically run a different price per square foot than stamped or exposed aggregate.

We pour broom finish, smooth trowel, stamped, stained, exposed aggregate, and polished concrete. Each finish has trade-offs in cost, slip resistance, and appearance. Travis will walk you through which finish makes sense for your project during the on-site estimate.
We coordinate with Montgomery County and local municipalities on permitting where required. For most residential driveway replacements, permits are not required. For new slab foundations, additions, and commercial projects, we’ll let you know what permits are needed and help coordinate the process.
Standard residential driveways in the Houston area should be poured at least 4 inches thick for passenger vehicles. Driveways that will see heavy trucks, RVs, or trailers should be 5 to 6 inches with upgraded rebar reinforcement. We’ll recommend the right thickness during your estimate based on your specific use case and soil conditions.
Most residential projects can be scheduled within one to three weeks of estimate approval, depending on weather and crew schedule. Emergency repair work and small pours can sometimes be fit in sooner. Call (346) 298-1386 to check current availability.
