Kilgore's oil-boom era homes, from the early 1900s brick cottages near downtown to the mid-century ranches spreading east, sit on sandy loam over dense red clay that shifts with the seasons, and that ground is exactly why driveways, walks and slabs crack, heave and settle here.
When your front walk buckles or your driveway splits from root pressure and clay movement, Tyler Concrete knows Kilgore. We've spent years working on the older frame and brick homes throughout ZIP 75662, replacing cracked concrete and lifting sunken slabs that create trip hazards before they become liability problems. Our team understands the Piney Woods terrain, the heavy spring rains that wash out sub-base, and the freeze-thaw cycles that break down poor drainage. We show up, assess the real problem, and fix it right.
Concrete in Kilgore (75662)
Kilgore sits on rolling, pine-covered hills with narrow lots, detached garages and old front walks that have settled or cracked over decades. The ground here is tricky: sandy loam over red clay and ironstone, with pockets of shrink-swell clay that heave in wet springs and settle in dry summers. Pine and oak roots lift walks and driveways. Heavy rain runs under slabs and washes out the sub-base if drainage is poor. Winter ice storms and hard freezes open cracks that spread fast. The result is concrete that needs a solid compacted base, steel reinforcement and good drainage to last, or it fails early.
We've built and repaired driveways, patios, pool decks, garage floors and sidewalks throughout the Tyler area and in Kilgore for years. We know which lots have poor drainage, how to set grade on sloped terrain, and when to recommend concrete removal and replacement instead of a patch that will just crack again. Our team handles the tight access, the old oak and pine root systems, the seasonal ground movement, and the permit requirements the City of Kilgore enforces on driveway and sidewalk work.

How a Job Works in Kilgore
We start with a free on-site assessment. We come out, look at the crack, the settlement, the drainage and the grade, and we tell you what's actually wrong. No guessing. We take photos, measure the area, and discuss whether you need repair and resurfacing, concrete leveling and slab lifting, or full removal and replacement. We explain the cost and timeline upfront.
Once you approve, we handle the work. On older Kilgore properties with tight driveways and detached garages, we manage access carefully and coordinate with your HOA if required. We pull any local permits the city requires. We excavate and prepare the sub-base properly, set grade for drainage, place steel reinforcement, pour and finish the concrete to spec, and cure it right. If it's a decorative or polished finish, we deliver that too.
When we're done, we haul away the debris, sweep and clean your property, and do a final walkthrough with you. You get a solid, level, well-drained concrete surface that will last.
Pricing in Kilgore depends on the job. A basic concrete driveway runs from $6 per square foot, a patio the same. If you want stamped or decorative finish, budget $10 per square foot. Concrete repair and resurfacing of an existing cracked slab starts at $3 per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting to fix a sunken walk or driveway starts at $4 per square foot. Full removal and replacement runs $7 per square foot. Garage floors start at $5 per square foot, pool decks at $8 per square foot, and sealing runs $0.75 per square foot. The final cost depends on the size of the area, how hard it is to access, the current condition of the ground beneath, and how fast you need it done. Call us at (903) 630-8670 for a free estimate. We'll measure it, walk you through the options, and give you a real number.
