Concrete contractor in Navasota, TX - slabs poured on packed, level ground
BD College Station Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, slabs and foundations in Navasota, TX, inside city limits and out in Grimes County. I look at every job myself, and our crew does the pour.
What we pour in Navasota. From driveways to foundations.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway on a dug-out, packed base, for when the old one has sunk, split or started holding water.
Concrete patio construction
If the old patio pools water or tilts toward the house, we pour a new one that sheds water away from it.
Stamped concrete services
Patterned and colored concrete that looks like stone or brick. It's still a slab, so the base gets the same work.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks to the front door or around the house, poured so nobody catches a toe on a lifted edge.
Garage floor concrete
When a garage floor is cracked, sunk or flaking, we replace it with a slab built to carry a car every day.
Decorative concrete
Stains, exposed stone and finishes beyond the plain broom texture, for a patio or walk you'd like to look at, not only use.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or dirt keeps washing onto a slab, a concrete wall holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior and shop floors poured level and finished smooth, for a new building, an addition or a floor that's past saving.
Concrete pool decks
The slab around a pool needs a finish that grips wet feet and a pitch that carries splash water away.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps with even rises, poured on a solid footing and built to stay tight against the house.
Slab foundation building
The slab a new house, shop or addition sits on, with steel and base laid out to the plans.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes and buildings, from digging the trenches to the pour, built to the drawings.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking areas for a business, church or rental property, poured thick enough for the traffic and sloped so rain leaves.
Concrete footings
When a deck, porch, fence or small building needs something solid under its posts, we dig and pour the footings.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has settled out of level, we raise it back up instead of tearing it out.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or a section that has to come out without wrecking the rest.
How we start a Navasota job. Permits and paperwork come first.
Inside city limits, permits run through the city's building permits office at 936-825-2961, and I check with them at the start because the steps aren't the same everywhere. Out in unincorporated Grimes County, the county requires a floodplain permit for all development, approved only after any other permits, so it's the last thing we wait on before the pour.
When a job needs a city permit, we pull it and hold the work until each inspection passes. The city's business license contact, same number, can answer questions about a contractor's local license. Price follows size, thickness and how much base work the ground needs, and the written estimate spells it out.

(979) 393-7025Navasota concrete sits on dirt. The dirt decides the rest.
When the base is raked smooth instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles right along with the loose dirt under it, and that's where the sinking and the trip edges come from. A slab that falls toward the house sends rain to the foundation, and joints cut late let the cracks pick their own spots.
The base is the part you never see and the first thing people want to cut from a budget, so it's the one place I won't. We dig down to firm subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, pack it, and set the slope so water runs away from the house.

Navasota concrete questions. Answered before the truck shows up.
Read through the answers below, and if your question isn't here, call and ask me directly.
Do I need a floodplain permit for concrete work outside Navasota city limits?
Yes, if your property is in unincorporated Grimes County, because the county requires a floodplain development permit for all development there. Only you or your legal representative can apply, and the county approves it after every other permit is issued, so we get the rest lined up first.
What does it take to pour a house slab in the Grimes County floodplain?
Development in the floodplain needs plans signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer, and a structure there needs an elevation certificate from a registered professional land surveyor. Permanent electric service won't connect until the county issues a certificate that the work meets its rules. We pour your slab foundation to those sealed plans.
How do I check a contractor's license in Texas?
Use the state's online license search, which shows whether a person or business has a current license. It covers trades the state licenses, like electrical work, and plumbers are licensed by the state plumbing board, so check whoever does that part of your job, like wiring or plumbing under a new slab.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It may crack somewhere, because concrete cracks, and I'd rather tell you that now than explain it later. We cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to run, early, before the slab picks its own spots. That's how we pour every concrete driveway.
