Rockdale Concrete and Deck Builders

What the Ground Is Like in Rockdale

Rockdale is a small city in Milam County on Highway 79.

Much of the ground around Rockdale is sandy loam over clay. It drains fast on top but can wash out at the edges of a slab.

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.

Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in Rockdale

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

Sandy soil is easy to dig but can be loose, so we bell out footings and pack the soil around them.

Concrete Work in Rockdale

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

On sandy ground we compact the base in thin layers and form the edges so rain cannot wash the soil out from under the slab.

Permits and HOA Rules in Rockdale

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 Rockdale and your HOA need before we set a start date.
