Why Concrete Cutting & Pouring Precision Matters in Fort Worth

From expanding clay soils to high-traffic neighborhoods, concrete driveways in Fort Worth face serious stress. Proper saw-cut joints, grade preparation, and high-strength mix pouring are essential to prevent early cracking, surface spalling, or water drainage issues.

What We Offer: Driveway Cutting, Pouring & Finishing

1. Prep Work & Framing

We start with clearing and grading your driveway footprint, followed by laser-leveled formwork that ensures proper slope for water runoff.

2. Rebar & Control Joint Planning

Before the pour, we install steel reinforcement and pre-plan joint placement to reduce shrinkage and thermal cracking.

3. Concrete Pouring & Flattening

We pour high-strength 3,600–4,000 PSI concrete, then screed and float it to achieve an even, dense slab.

4. Finishing Options

Choose from broom, trowel, or decorative finishes. We also offer stamped or colored concrete for a custom look.

5. Precision Saw Cutting & Sealing

Expansion joints are saw-cut 6–18 hours after pouring. Sealing is done for added protection against water and freeze-thaw cycles.
