Live Oak Concrete and Deck Builders

What the Ground Is Like in Live Oak

Live Oak sits along I 35 on the northeast side of San Antonio.

The ground in Live Oak is mostly heavy Blackland Prairie clay, the kind that moves a lot between wet and dry seasons.

That matters because the ground under a driveway, patio or deck decides how long it lasts. We look at your soil and slope during the estimate and build for what we find.

Concrete Work in Live Oak

We pour plain gray concrete with a broom or smooth finish. No stamped or stained work, just solid slabs built to last.

• Concrete driveways, new, wider or torn out and replaced
• Concrete patios and patio extensions
• Sidewalks and walkways, front walks and side yard paths

Clay is hard on concrete, so we add a thicker rock base, use a rebar grid on chairs and slope the slab so water never pools at the edge. Those steps keep a slab from heaving.

Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in Live Oak

We build the wood side of the backyard too, so one crew can handle the slab and what goes on it.

• Decks in wood or composite
• Patios and covered patios
• Front and back porches
• Patio enclosures and screened porches
• Pergolas, attached or freestanding

Clay moves, so deck, porch and pergola footings go deeper here. That keeps posts from heaving and keeps the frame square.

Permits and HOA Rules in Live Oak

Rules change from city to city. Driveway approaches that meet the street, raised decks and roofed structures are the jobs that most often need a permit. If your home is in a neighborhood with an HOA, the design may also need HOA approval. We check what Live Oak and your HOA need before we set a start date.
