Concrete cost in Dallas, TX
Concrete contractors pour driveways, patios, walkways, and slabs. Base preparation and correct control joints matter more than the mix.
What's different about concrete in Dallas
Driveways and patios move with the same clay that moves foundations. Proper base prep and control joints matter more than the concrete mix — cracking that shows up in the first two years is usually a prep problem, not bad luck.
Dallas labor rates sit close to the national average — typically within about 5% either way — but material and permit costs vary a lot by municipality. Storm season is the single biggest factor: roofing quotes in the weeks after a major hail event routinely run 15–25% above the same job in the fall.

Common questions
Why did my new concrete crack?
Some hairline cracking is normal. Wide or offset cracks usually mean a poorly compacted base or missing control joints, not bad concrete.
Things to watch out for
- Crews that skip base compaction or rebar/mesh on a driveway.
- No written spec for slab thickness and PSI.
