San Antonio Concrete Driveways, Patios and Walkways
Mission Ridge Concrete builds new driveways, backyard patios, walkways, pool decks and stamped concrete for homes across San Antonio, with the prep done right and every estimate written out line by line.

Proper prep first. Then a clean finish.
Every job is measured in person, and the estimate is written out the way you would want to read one: the square footage, the thickness, the reinforcement, where the control joints go, the finish, and whether tear-out, hauling and cleanup are included. You can hold it up next to anyone else’s and compare it line for line.
Most of the work is residential: new driveways and driveway replacements, backyard patios and extensions, side-yard walkways, pool decks, and stamped or colored finishes. Before anything is formed, the site gets looked at for the question that matters most on a South Texas slab: where the water goes when it rains.
Driveways, patios and walkways. Plus the decks and finishes around them.
Every job is flatwork: concrete on the ground, formed, reinforced and finished. Broom finish for traction, or stamped and colored when the slab is meant to be looked at.

Measure, prep, reinforce, pour.
The order is the same on a side-yard walk and a full driveway. The quotes under each step are from our guide for San Antonio homeowners.

Measure and write the scope
We walk the site, measure, check the slope and the drainage, and send a written estimate with every line spelled out.
“Where will the water go when it rains?”
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/dd3b84b9-66b2-4ae5-8c25-4c5710d85963.jpeg)
Prep, base and forms
The area is cleared and graded, the base goes in, and the forms set the shape, the edges and the elevations.
“Forms establish the shape and dimensions of the concrete.”
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/8f76fa3b-98e2-4d84-924b-48375bd55106.jpeg)
Reinforcement
Rebar or wire goes in where the slab needs it, sized to how it will be used: a patio is not a driveway.
“Ask your contractor what is being proposed and why.”
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/a00c0b80-e345-48eb-81a3-725262d583f6.jpeg)
Pour, finish and cure
The concrete is placed and finished, the control joints are cut where they were planned, and the slab is given time to cure.
“Concrete naturally shrinks as it cures.”

Five questions to ask any concrete contractor.
We wrote a full guide for San Antonio homeowners planning a driveway, patio or pool deck. If you only take five things from it, take these, and ask them of every contractor you call, including us.
- What exactly are you proposing for my project?
- What preparation is included?
- What is included in the total price?
- How will drainage, reinforcement and control joints be handled?
- What should I expect from start to finish?
San Antonio based, out to the I-35 suburbs and the Hill Country edge.
Most jobs are in San Antonio and the towns around Loop 1604, from Leon Valley and Shavano Park to Live Oak, Universal City and Converse, and up I-35 to Schertz, Cibolo and New Braunfels.

Good to know before we come out.
Anything else, call (210) 765-4570.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Tap Get a free estimate or call (210) 765-4570. We come out, measure, and send a written estimate with the scope spelled out.
What should I have ready for the estimate?
Rough measurements, a few photos of the area (a wide shot, both ends, and any spots where water sits after rain), the finish you have in mind, and anything about access, like a narrow gate.
How thick should my concrete be?
It depends on what the slab is for. A driveway, a patio and a walkway can each call for something different. Your estimate states the thickness and the reason for it.
Will my concrete crack?
Concrete can crack as it shrinks and moves with heat and moisture. Good prep, the right reinforcement and planned control joints manage where it happens. Ask where the joints will go before the pour.
Do you pull permits?
Yes, for sidewalk, curb and gutter work. If your job needs a permit, it is on the estimate.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, small commercial flatwork as well as residential driveways, patios and walks.
