New residential driveways, RV pads, driveway extensions, and full replacements — poured to hold up to Panhandle clay, freeze-thaw cycles, and the West Texas sun.
Call (806) XXX-XXXXMost cracked driveways in Amarillo aren't cracked because the concrete was bad. They're cracked because the subgrade was rushed. Panhandle soils are unforgiving. In north Amarillo neighborhoods like Ridgemere, North Heights, and Puckett Place, you're pouring on top of a caliche layer that shifts differently than the topsoil above it. In Canyon and the Loop 335 south corridor, you're pouring on expansive clay that swells and shrinks with every rain and dry spell. Skip the compaction step or use the wrong thickness, and the slab cracks in 18 months.
We spend real time on subgrade prep: 4–6 inches of compacted base, moisture-conditioned to the mix design, with rebar tied on chairs at mid-depth. For RV pads and heavy-load driveways, we default to 6-inch pours with #4 rebar on 18-inch centers. Standard residential runs 4 inches with #3 rebar on 24-inch centers unless the design calls for something different.
Standard exterior mix in Amarillo needs three things done right:
We source most mixes locally — Thomas RediMix and other Amarillo suppliers stock the aggregates and admixtures we need.
Rebar every time on driveways in the Amarillo area. Wire mesh sinks to the bottom of the pour if it isn't chair-supported perfectly, and it can't handle clay-swell tension. Rebar tied on chairs stays where it belongs and gives real tensile strength when the slab flexes.
Most residential concrete driveways in Amarillo run $2,880 to $10,000 based on square footage (a standard 12×40 two-car driveway is the low-end reference), thickness (4″ residential vs 6″ RV), reinforcement (rebar standard, fiber mesh only for light-duty), finish (broom standard, stamped adds $6–$12/sqft), demolition ($1.50–$3/sqft haul-off), and access (backyard pours may need boom-truck or line-pump).
You get a fixed written price after the site walk. No surprise change orders unless you change scope.

Keep concrete moist for the first 7 days if temps are above 80°F. We'll leave you a printed cure sheet.
4″ for standard residential, 6″ for RV or heavy vehicles.
3 days foot traffic, 7 days light cars, 14 days daily-driver, 28 days full cure.
Rebar on every driveway, chair-supported at mid-depth. Mesh sinks and can't handle clay-swell tension.
New concrete and existing concrete never color-match perfectly — the age difference always shows. Stamped or stained matching is possible with integral pigment.
Yes, plus Panhandle, Claude, and everywhere within 40 miles of Amarillo.
