Homeowners in Gonzales call us for driveways, extra parking pads, patio extensions, walks and shed slabs. Older homes often need base and culvert work, and newer subdivision homes need care with swales and HOA rules. Every job gets a site visit and a written quote.
Most of our work is for homeowners in Gonzales and the nearby Ascension Parish communities. The list is familiar: replace a cracked driveway, add a parking pad for a third car or a boat, extend the back patio, pour a walk to the gate, set a slab for a shed or a shop. Each job starts with a visit, a tape measure and a look at how water crosses the lot.
Homes here fall into two groups. Older houses on bigger lots often have a carport, a narrow drive and an open ditch at the road with a culvert. Newer subdivision homes have a wide drive, a small builder patio, tight side yards, a shared swale and usually an owners association. The first group tends to need base and culvert work. The second needs care with drainage, restrictions and post-tensioned house slabs.
You get a written quote that lists area, thickness, base, steel, joints, finish, tear-out and haul-away. If your subdivision needs an approval letter, we give you a sketch to send in. We place the Louisiana 811 request before digging. On pour day we ask you to keep cars out of the garage or parked on the street, since the drive will be closed for about a week.
Residential concrete in Gonzales: common questions
Can you match my new concrete to the old?
Not exactly. Fresh concrete is lighter and takes a year or more to weather, and it never becomes identical. We match the texture and joint pattern, and we break at a natural line so the change looks planned.
Do I need my HOA's approval before you start?
If your subdivision has recorded restrictions, check them first. Driveway widening, parking pads and decorative finishes are the items most often controlled. That approval is separate from any city or parish permit.
Can I get several small jobs done in one visit?
Yes, and it usually makes sense. A drive, a walk and a pad poured from the same truckload save on delivery and setup. Tell us everything on your list at the estimate.
