What makes concrete last around San Antonio
San Antonio is hard on slabs in its own particular ways. The ground changes from deep, dark clay to a few inches of soil over limestone within a short drive, and the pouring season is long and hot. Most cracked, tilted or flaking concrete here traces back to the soil, the joints or the curing.
Clay, caliche or rock
Much of the area east of the Hill Country sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. North and west of town, soil can be only inches deep over limestone. Each needs different base work, so ask what the contractor found when they dug.
Cracks you plan for
Concrete shrinks as it dries and will crack somewhere. Control joints at planned spacing give those cracks a straight place to form. On clay that keeps moving through wet and dry spells, good joint layout matters even more.
Curing in the sun
Long, hot, often windy summers pull water out of fresh concrete fast, which can leave a weak, crazed surface. Early-morning pours, a dampened base and prompt curing are standard practice for experienced San Antonio crews.

Do concrete contractors need a license in Texas?
Texas doesn't issue a statewide license for concrete or general contractors. Cities set their own rules: the City of San Antonio registers home improvement and residential building contractors and licenses sidewalk, curb and gutter contractors for right-of-way work. Other cities differ. Either way, ask for a certificate of insurance.
Do I need a permit for a driveway in San Antonio?
Inside the City of San Antonio, sidewalks and driveways inside your property line are on the city's No Permit Required list. The approach, curb and public sidewalk are in the right-of-way and need a Sidewalk-Curb permit. Historic districts, suburban cities and county roads have their own rules.
Why does concrete crack so much around San Antonio?
Much of the area sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which moves slabs. Fast drying in summer heat, loose fill, tree roots and joints spaced too far apart add to it. Good base work, joints and curing reduce cracking.
