Palestine's historic brick homes and Victorian streets sit on rolling red clay hills, with narrow driveways, old front walks, and detached garages that have stood for decades under towering pines and oaks. When those walks crack, settle, or heave with the seasons, or when a driveway starts to crumble, you need a concrete contractor who knows exactly why it happened and how to fix it right.
Tyler Concrete has been serving Palestine (75801) and the surrounding Tyler area for years. We understand the terrain here, the shrink-swell clay that moves with wet springs and dry summers, the root systems that lift walkways, and the drainage challenges on sloped lots. When your concrete fails, we show up, assess the real problem, and build a lasting solution that won't fail the same way twice.
Concrete in Palestine (75801)
Palestine sits on sandy loam over dense red clay and ironstone, with pockets of clay that swell when wet and shrink when dry. That movement is relentless. Add in the root systems from old pines and oaks, the heavy spring rains that wash out sub-base under slabs, and the long hot summers, and you get concrete that cracks, settles unevenly, or spalls at the surface. A walk or driveway that looked solid five years ago may now be a trip hazard or a eyesore. We see this every week in the historic neighborhoods south of downtown, in the brick-and-stone homes along Old Jacksonville Highway, and in the Azalea District where Victorian and Craftsman homes have original concrete that's simply worn out.
We build concrete here to handle those conditions. That means a solid compacted base, proper drainage so water doesn't pool under the slab, steel reinforcement to resist the heave and settle cycle, and finishes that shed water instead of trapping it. We've removed and replaced countless driveways and walkways in Palestine, leveled sunken slabs, and repaired spalling concrete. We know the red clay, the slope of the lots, and the permitting process with the city. When you call us, you're calling people who have worked on your street.

How a Job Works in Palestine
We start with a free on-site visit. You tell us what's wrong, we walk the property, dig a little to see what's underneath, check the grade and drainage, and look at how the concrete failed. In Palestine, we often find that old driveways are undersized for the lot or that the base has washed away. We take photos, answer your questions, and give you a clear estimate in writing, with a timeline and a price.
On the day of the work, we show up on time, protect your property and your neighbors', and do the job right. If your lot is tight (and many are in the historic neighborhoods), we manage access carefully. If there's an HOA or if the work touches the right-of-way, we coordinate with the city and your association so there are no surprises. We pour or repair the concrete, finish it to spec, and let it cure properly. Concrete is not a rush job, and we don't cut corners.
When we're done, we haul away the debris, sweep up, and walk you through the finished work. You see exactly what you paid for, and you know it's going to last.
Concrete Removal and Replacement (a very common job in Palestine's older neighborhoods) runs from $7 per square foot. A standard single-car driveway of 300 to 400 square feet typically costs $2,100 to $2,800, depending on site access, the condition of what's underneath, and whether we're hauling debris off-site or crushing it on-site. Concrete Sidewalks, Walkways and Steps (the other major job in the historic districts) start at $6 per square foot. A 50-foot front walk of 3 feet wide runs about $900 to $1,200. Concrete Repair and Resurfacing (if the slab is still sound but cracked or spalling) starts at $3 per square foot, so a 300-square-foot driveway repair might be $900 to $1,200 instead of a full replacement. Stamped or Decorative Concrete for a patio or pool deck runs $10 per square foot and up, depending on the pattern and color. The big variables are the size of the job, site access (tight lots cost more), the condition of the base, and how fast you need it done. Call us at (903) 630-8670 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess, and quote you honestly.
