Cibolo sits in the San Antonio–New Braunfels metro area. It has grown into one of the fastest-expanding cities in Texas. Its population jumped from roughly 3,035 residents in 2000 to over 32,000 today. That growth brings new subdivisions and master-planned communities. It also brings steady demand for strong driveways and garage floors. They must hold up against Cibolo's hot, humid summers and heavy seasonal rain. Homeowners in Saratoga, on the Main Street corridor, and near I-10 trust our team. We know how local soil, heat, and moisture affect concrete over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new concrete driveway cost?
Most driveways in this area run about $7.50 to $11.50 per square foot for plain broom-finish work. A standard two-car drive (400 sq ft) often lands between $3,000 and $4,600 for the pour. We measure your site and give you a firm price in writing.
How thick will the concrete be?
Driveways and patios are poured 4 inches thick in most cases. Heavy truck or RV areas get 5 to 6 inches. We set rebar or fiber mesh in the slab for strength.
How long before I can drive on it?
You can walk on new concrete in about 24 hours. Park cars on it after 7 days. Heavy trucks should wait about 28 days while the slab reaches full strength.
Do you tear out the old concrete?
Yes. We break up and haul the old slab, grade the base, and compact fresh gravel before we pour. Tear-out and haul-off are in the written price.
Will my new concrete crack?
All concrete can crack in time. We cut control joints in the right spots so cracks follow the joints, not the slab face. Good base work and the right mix cut the risk a lot.
How long does a job take?
Most patios take 2 days. Most driveways take 3 days. Large or stamped jobs take 4 to 5 days. Weather can add a day.
What Does My Concrete Project Cost?
Concrete is priced by the square foot of the pour itself — length × width of the slab, driveway, or deck. Here are the ranges we see on real jobs around San Marcos, and a calculator built on the same numbers.
Concrete Driveway
A standard two-car driveway is 20×20 ft — 400 sq ft — and at 4 inches with a plain broom finish it runs about $3,000–$4,600 around San Marcos. Six inches for RVs and work trucks, stamped or exposed finishes, and tearing out the old driveway each move the number up from there. Every price here includes the compacted base — Central Texas clay swells and shrinks with the weather, so the base has to be built right or the slab moves with it.
Concrete Patio
A 20×20 patio at 4 inches, broom finish, runs about $2,400–$4,400. Stamped and exposed-aggregate finishes are the popular upgrades here — they can add half again to the plain price. Six inches goes under hot tubs and outdoor kitchens.
Slabs & Foundations
A two-car garage slab, 24×24 ft at 4 inches, runs $3,744–$5,760. Foundation-grade work — 6 inches, thickened edge, rebar, vapor barrier — prices higher per foot and is the spec a house or addition actually needs.
Pool Decks
Pool decks price like patios with three additions: coping edges at the water, drains that move splash water away, and a slip-resistant finish. A 400 sq ft deck runs about $2,600–$4,600 in a broom finish; cool-deck coatings and stamped finishes sit above that.
Repair & Resurfacing
Small concrete work is priced by the visit more than the square foot. Replacing one cracked or heaved section runs $11–$19 per sq ft with the demo of that section included; resurfacing a sound slab runs $3.50–$6.50. If a section has sunk, heaved, or cracked clean through, resurfacing is paint on a problem — we'll say so at the look.
What Moves the Price
- Finish. Plain broom is the baseline. Stamped, exposed aggregate, and stained finishes add materials and skilled labor — stamped work can run close to double a plain pour.
- Thickness. Four inches is standard for cars and foot traffic. Six inches — for RVs, work trucks, hot tubs — uses half again as much concrete on every square foot.
- Tear-out. Breaking out and hauling off old concrete is its own line, priced per square foot on top of the new pour.
- Job size. Small pours carry a minimum charge and short-load fees from the concrete plant; on big pours the setup spreads over more feet.
- Ground. Central Texas clay swells when it is wet and shrinks hard in a drought, and that movement cracks slabs that were poured on a thin base. Base work is in every price here — it is not an extra.
Where these numbers come from. Published Central Texas cost guides — Angi's Austin slab and driveway guides, HomeBlue's San Marcos slab guide, BuildX Pro's Austin driveway data, and Austin contractor pricing guides — gathered November 2026, on top of the national guides (HomeGuide, Angi, Fixr) behind the fleet concrete card. The full research note is on file with the site records.
A note on materials. These ranges figure a standard 4-inch pour of 3,500-psi concrete on a compacted base, broom finish. Decorative finishes — stamped, exposed aggregate, stained — add materials and skilled labor, and 6-inch work uses half again as much concrete on every square foot. Tell us what the slab has to carry and we'll confirm the spec and the exact price at the in-person estimate, before any work starts.
Estimate Your Project
A standard 2-car driveway is 20×20 ft = 400 sq ft; 24×24 = 576.
Sections poured in one visit share a single minimum charge.
A 20×20 patio is 400 sq ft; 10×20 = 200.
Sections poured in one visit share a single minimum charge.
A 2-car garage is 24×24 ft = 576 sq ft; a house slab is often 1,200–2,000.
Foundation-grade includes a thickened perimeter edge, rebar, and a vapor barrier — that's the spec, not an upsell.
Measure the deck band around the pool — most home decks run 300–600 sq ft.
Sections poured in one visit share a single minimum charge.
Pool decks get a slip-resistant finish and slope away from the water — both are in these numbers.
For a section replacement, measure the section itself. For resurfacing, measure the whole surface.
Sections done in one visit share a single minimum charge.
Resurfacing only works on a slab that's still sound underneath. If a section has heaved, sunk, or cracked clean through, replacement is the honest fix — we'll tell you which one yours is at the in-person look.

Commercial and Residential Concrete Driveway, Garage Floor, and Parking Area Construction in Cibolo, TX
Businesses and homeowners across Cibolo rely on San Marcos Custom Concrete. We build driveways, garage floors, and parking areas that last. Each pour accounts for Cibolo's clay-heavy soil and seasonal rain. The area averages 34 inches a year. That rain can stress poorly built slabs over time.
How does San Marcos Custom Concrete handle residential driveway pours and replacements?
Our crew pours and replaces home driveways. We use reinforced concrete rated for Texas heat and heavy loads. We remove old, cracked slabs in full before we grade the base. A weak base causes most driveway failures within a few years. Homeowners across Cibolo choose us for a simple reason. We finish on schedule. We do not cut corners on curing time. A well-cured driveway can add years of service life. A rushed pour cannot match it.
What garage floor installation options exist for attached and detached garages?
We install garage floors for attached and detached garages. We match slab thickness to the garage's use and vehicle weight. Our team pours reinforced flatwork. It resists cracking from Cibolo's shifting clay soils. It also handles the temperature swings between summer and winter. Detached garage floors often need deeper footings. That is true on newer lots near I-10 and I-35. Ask our crew which reinforcement method fits your garage layout and planned use.
How does San Marcos Custom Concrete build multi-car parking pads and turnaround slabs?
We design multi-car parking pads and turnaround slabs. They serve households with many vehicles, boats, and trailers. Those homes need dedicated space off the main driveway. Our team works out slab thickness and drainage slope. Water sheds the right way during Cibolo's frequent rain. Growing families in newer Cibolo neighborhoods often add turnaround slabs. They help drivers avoid backing onto busy streets. Good drainage planning prevents pooling. Pooling can shorten a slab's usable life.
Why do commercial properties in Cibolo choose our team for parking area construction?
Business owners in Cibolo choose our team for parking areas. We build them for daily traffic, delivery trucks, and long-term wear. San Marcos Custom Concrete pours business slabs with reinforced steel. We use proper joint spacing to control cracking under heavy loads. Business owners near Main Street and the Shops at Cibolo Bend need parking that handles steady customer traffic. It must hold up without early wear. A well-built business slab in most cases outlasts asphalt by a decade or more. That holds under similar conditions.
Garage Floor Coatings, Concrete Finishes, and Surface Systems for Cibolo Properties
Our team finishes and coats concrete surfaces in Cibolo. We serve business facilities and home garages. We match each coating system to how the space gets used. A warehouse floor and a home garage face very different wear.
What coating options does San Marcos Custom Concrete offer for epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic floors?
We apply epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic coatings. The right pick depends on two things. It depends on how fast you need the floor back in service. It also depends on how much abuse the surface will take. Polyaspartic coatings cure in as little as 24 hours. They fit busy households and business spaces that cannot stay closed long. Epoxy stays a cost-effective pick for garages with lighter vehicle traffic. Our crew walks Cibolo property owners through the tradeoffs. Then we suggest a specific system.
Which broom, trowel, and exposed aggregate finishes work best for Cibolo driveways?
Broom finishes give driveways grip. That grip matters during Cibolo's frequent rain. Trowel finishes create a smoother look. They suit covered patios and garage interiors. Exposed aggregate finishes show the stone within the slab. They add texture and curb appeal that plain concrete cannot match. Many homeowners in newer Cibolo subdivisions ask for exposed aggregate. They want it for front walkways and entry areas. Each finish carries different upkeep needs. Our team explains upkeep before the pour begins.
How do sealers and protective topcoats extend concrete life in Cibolo's climate?
Sealers and topcoats shield concrete from Cibolo's intense summer heat. It often pushes past 95 degrees in August. They also shield it from moisture that seeps into open pores. San Marcos Custom Concrete applies penetrating and film-forming sealers. The pick depends on the surface's exposure and traffic. Unsealed driveways in this climate show wear sooner. They tend to show staining, spalling, and hairline cracks years earlier than sealed ones. Regular resealing every few years keeps a slab close to its original condition.
Concrete Services for Cibolo Businesses, New Homeowners, and Growing Residential Communities
Cibolo's business corridors and subdivisions are both expanding fast. San Marcos Custom Concrete supports that growth with construction-ready concrete work. Business developments and new homeowners alike need slabs poured right the first time. Cibolo's rapid growth leaves little room for redo projects.
How does our team support new construction driveways and walkways in Cibolo?
We pour driveways and walkways for new homes. Builders are finishing framing and grading across Cibolo's expanding subdivisions. Our crew coordinates timing with builders and homeowners. Concrete work fits into tight schedules without delaying move-in dates. New home driveways need proper base compaction. That matters most on lots graded from clay soil. Clay is common across the region. Builders and homeowners both benefit from one thing. The concrete crew should know local soil before the first truck arrives.
What concrete work does San Marcos Custom Concrete provide for subdivisions and master-planned communities?
Subdivision developers and master-planned community builders bring our team in. We handle driveway packages, sidewalks, and shared parking across many lots. We scale crews to handle phased schedules. Quality stays consistent between each home's finished slab. Cibolo's population has grown by hundreds of percent since 2000. That growth keeps fueling new community development across the city. Consistent quality across dozens of lots takes the same crew and process on every pour.
How do concrete upgrades support home improvement and property upgrade projects?
Homeowners often start improvement projects with concrete upgrades. Common picks are patio extensions, driveway widening, or garage floor coatings. Our team checks existing slabs first. Then we suggest a full replacement or a resurfacing approach. We base that call on which one makes more financial sense. Concrete upgrades in most cases last longer than wood or paver projects in Cibolo's climate. A homeowner planning to sell within a few years often sees the fastest return from one thing. Driveway and garage floor upgrades pay back first.
Concrete Upgrades, Home Value, and Property ROI in Cibolo, TX
Concrete work affects how appraisers and buyers judge Cibolo properties. That matters in a market where median household income sits around $116,510. That is well above the state average. San Marcos Custom Concrete builds upgrades that hold value over time. They do not just look good on installation day.
How does driveway and garage floor condition affect appraisal value?
Appraisers factor driveway and garage floor condition into property value. That matters most in newer Cibolo subdivisions. Buyers there expect move-in-ready surfaces. Cracked, uneven, or stained concrete signals deferred upkeep. It can lower an appraiser's overall condition rating. Fresh concrete or a proper coating system often shows up as a real value add. That shows in comparative market analysis. Sellers getting ready to list in most cases see stronger returns from concrete repairs. Those returns beat many other cosmetic upgrades.
What curb appeal improvements help Cibolo homes compete in resale?
Curb appeal upgrades help Cibolo homes stand out. Good picks include exposed aggregate driveways, clean walkways, and sealed patios. They matter in a competitive resale market. Buyers form first impressions before they step through the front door. A worn driveway undercuts that impression right away. Our team designs finishes that photograph well for listings. They still perform under daily use. Small concrete upgrades near the entry often deliver an outsized impact. Buyer perception jumps more than the cost would suggest.
How does concrete compare to pavers and asphalt for long-term cost value?
Concrete in most cases beats asphalt and pavers on long-term cost. It resists Texas heat better. It needs less frequent resurfacing than asphalt. Pavers offer a decorative look. But they need more upkeep over time, as single stones shift or settle. Asphalt softens under extreme summer heat. That can shorten its lifespan in a climate like Cibolo's. Property owners weigh upfront cost against 15 to 20 years of upkeep. They usually find concrete the stronger long-term investment.
