Serving Eagle Pass, TX and surrounding areas. (830) 213-7411
Eagle Pass Precision Concrete is a concrete contractor serving Laredo, TX, building driveways, patios, slab foundations, and commercial flatwork designed for Webb County clay soil, extreme summer heat, and the flash flooding that tests every outdoor surface here. We have served South Texas since 2018 and respond to every inquiry within 1 business day.
A well-built concrete driveway in Laredo needs to hold up through summer temperatures above 100 degrees F, the expanding and contracting clay soil that runs through most of Webb County, and the occasional heavy rain that can dump several inches on flat ground with nowhere to drain. We build driveways with the base compaction, slab thickness, and control joint spacing needed to stay flat and crack-free through all of it.
Outdoor space matters in Laredo during the months when the weather is tolerable, and a properly built concrete patio gives you a surface that will not crack, heave, or become a tripping hazard as the soil shifts beneath it. We factor in drainage slope and sun exposure on every patio pour so the surface stays usable and level long after installation.
Commercial property near Laredo's bridge corridors and I-35 takes a beating from heavy truck and vehicle traffic every day. A concrete parking lot built with adequate thickness and proper reinforcement handles that load without rutting the way asphalt does in South Texas summer heat, and with less long-term maintenance cost for high-traffic commercial users.
The older homes near downtown Laredo and the newer subdivisions spreading north along Loop 20 represent two very different slab scenarios. Older slabs often need repair or replacement after decades of clay soil movement. Newer-area slabs need to be built right the first time with the steel and thickness the Webb County soil demands. We handle both.
When heavy summer storms drop three or more inches of rain on Laredo in a short period, flat terrain and hard soil mean that water moves across the surface fast, eroding unprotected edges and undermining driveways and landscaping. A properly footed concrete retaining wall controls where that water goes and keeps your soil and surrounding concrete in place.
Sidewalks in Laredo take the same abuse from clay soil movement as driveways and patios, and a heaved or cracked sidewalk creates a real trip hazard - and sometimes a liability issue for commercial and rental properties. We pour sidewalks with the slope and base prep needed to stay even through the shrink-swell cycle that affects every outdoor surface in this part of Webb County.
Laredo is one of the hottest cities in the United States, and that heat creates real demands for any exterior concrete surface. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees F from May through September, and UV exposure is intense year-round. Both factors work on concrete constantly - expanding the slab during peak heat and contracting it at night, degrading surface sealers faster than in cooler climates, and accelerating the setting process during a pour if the crew is not using the right methods. The flat terrain throughout most of Laredo also means water from those periodic heavy rainstorms - which can dump several inches in under an hour - has to go somewhere, and it often finds its way beneath driveways and foundation edges before it can drain off.
The clay soils of Webb County compound every weather effect. Clay shrinks during dry spells - and Laredo goes through extended dry periods regularly - pulling away from the edges of slabs and footings. When rain arrives, the clay swells back, pushing upward against whatever is sitting on it. This cycle, repeated every year, is the primary reason driveways crack, patios heave, and foundations shift in Laredo. Properties in the older neighborhoods near downtown were built with the slab and footing specs of their era, which were not always designed for what South Texas soils actually do. Newer subdivisions north of town are now reaching the 15-to-30-year mark and entering the first round of major concrete maintenance. Both situations call for a contractor who knows what Webb County soil does to concrete over time.
Our crew works throughout Laredo regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete contractor work here. Laredo is a city of well over 250,000 people organized around Interstate 35, which carries both local traffic and the enormous commercial truck flow crossing the border between Laredo and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The Bob Bullock Loop - Loop 20 - encircles much of the developed city and connects the newer residential subdivisions to the north and northwest with the older neighborhoods near downtown and the Rio Grande. Permit requirements for concrete work inside Laredo city limits run through the City of Laredo Development Services Department, and we handle that process for projects that require it. The campus of Texas A&M International University anchors the northwestern part of the city, and the neighborhoods around it represent a mix of housing ages and property types we work in regularly.
The contrast between Laredo's neighborhoods is significant from a concrete standpoint. Older homes near downtown and the river have masonry block exteriors, smaller lots, and original slabs that have been through decades of Webb County soil movement. Newer subdivisions on the city's north and northwest edges have stucco-clad homes with larger lots and concrete driveways that are now reaching the age where first-cycle maintenance comes due. Commercial properties near the bridge corridors along I-35 handle heavy truck and vehicle traffic that standard residential concrete mixes cannot handle long-term. We also serve Cotulla to the north on the I-35 corridor if your project falls between the two areas.

We come out to your Laredo property, measure the area, check the soil and base conditions, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. If site prep is more involved than typical - which can happen with Webb County clay soil - that shows up in the estimate, not as an add-on later.
In Laredo's summer heat, timing the pour matters. We start early in the day when temperatures are lower, use a mix suited for hot-weather conditions, and keep the surface moist during curing. You do not need to be present for the work, but we keep you updated on the schedule.
When the work is done, we go over the finished surface with you and give you clear curing guidance - when foot traffic is safe, when vehicles can use the driveway, and what to watch for over the first 28 days. No guessing about what to do next.

(830) 213-7411Laredo is the county seat of Webb County and one of the largest cities on the entire U.S.-Mexico border, with a population well over 250,000 people. It sits on the south Texas bank of the Rio Grande, directly across from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and is one of the busiest land ports of entry in the United States. The city's economy is heavily shaped by international trade - a substantial share of all U.S.-Mexico truck freight crosses through Laredo every day, which makes Interstate 35 and the bridge corridors the economic and traffic backbone of the region. Laredo has grown steadily for decades, with newer residential development pushing north and northwest along Loop 20 while the older downtown and river neighborhoods maintain the city's deep historical roots as a Spanish colonial settlement. Nearby, Cotulla sits about 70 miles to the northeast along I-35, and we serve both communities.
Laredo has one of the highest percentages of Hispanic residents of any large U.S. city, and the community has a strong dual-culture identity tied to both sides of the border. The Washington's Birthday Celebration held each February is one of the largest civic festivals in the country and draws visitors from across the region. The residential landscape spans from the compact masonry block and brick homes near downtown and the Rio Grande to the larger stucco-clad subdivision homes in the north, with Texas A&M International University providing an anchor on the city's northwest side. Properties across all of these neighborhoods share the same Webb County clay soil and the same South Texas sun - and they all benefit from concrete work that is built with those conditions in mind.
