Why people call our Midland concrete crew
A good concrete crew should tell you plainly what the job needs, do the groundwork you can't see and leave you knowing how the slab will behave. Here's how we go about that.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so a new slab can show small cracks, and the joints are there to keep them in straight lines. I explain that on the first visit.
Our crew lead runs the pour
Our crew lead runs the pour with our finishers, and I check in on the job along the way. You know who's in charge on the day the truck shows up.
Dirt work before concrete
I ran hauling and dirt work in Midland before learning finishing on concrete crews and starting our business in 2017. So the ground under your slab gets real attention, and our story has more.
Concrete work for Midland homes, builders and businesses
We're based in Midland, and our calls come from homeowners, home builders and business owners here and in the cities around it, for anything from a back patio to a new foundation or a parking lot. We see plenty of older driveways that have sunk or cracked over the years, and plenty of new houses that need slabs and drives poured right the first time.
Midland has plenty to do on a weekend. Watersong Wild Space has an urban playa that draws wildlife, the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum has the child-size Energy City for kids, and the Museum of the Southwest campus holds the Historic Turner Mansion, the Blakemore Planetarium and a children's museum. The homes and businesses around all of that are the ones we pour driveways, walks and slabs for.
Concrete contractor services in Midland, TX
R&C Midland Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor in Midland, TX, with 16 services, from flatwork, the flat pours like driveways, patios and walks, to walls, steps and foundations. Most of it either fixes something you deal with every day, like a sinking drive or a patio that holds water, or gives you something new to build on. The price moves with size, how much digging and base work the ground needs, slab thickness, the finish and how easy it is to reach with a truck. The schedule turns on the permit, the weather and curing, the wait while concrete hardens before you use it. The estimate I write shows what's included and what isn't.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways from the ground up, digging out and packing the base before the pour so it holds your cars.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place to sit out back? We pour concrete patios sloped so rain runs off and away from your house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gets a pattern pressed into the surface while it's still wet, for patios and walks that look like stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build front walks, side paths and sidewalks for houses and businesses, with joints cut so cracks stay in straight lines.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes cars, tools and drips, so we pour it on a packed base with a smooth finish that sweeps clean.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, texture and finish choices for homeowners who want more than plain gray on a patio, walk or entry.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back soil where a yard slopes, giving you flat ground for a patio, bed or drive.
Concrete floor installation
Concrete floors for shops, barns, additions and commercial spaces, poured level and finished smooth or textured for how the room gets used.
Concrete pool decks
What goes around a pool? We pour concrete decks with a broom finish, a light brushed texture, so wet feet keep their grip.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps for front doors, porches and back patios, with even rises so nobody catches a toe.
Slab foundation building
For home builders and owners building new, we pour slab foundations, a single concrete pad the house sits right on.
Foundation installation
We install foundations for houses, additions and outbuildings, from layout and digging to forms, rebar, the steel inside, and the pour.
Concrete parking lot building
Business owners call us for concrete parking lots and drive lanes, built thicker to carry trucks and heavy daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete strips under walls, posts and additions that spread the weight into the ground, and we dig and pour them.
Foundation raising
Is a slab or foundation sinking and leaving uneven floors or gaps? We lift and level it back toward where it belongs.
Concrete cutting
Need an opening, a trench or a damaged section taken out? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so new work ties in without breaking more.

Questions people ask about concrete
These are the questions I hear most on a first visit. If yours isn't here, call or send the form and ask about your own job.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Midland, TX?
It depends mostly on the driveway's size, how much digging and base work your ground needs, the slab thickness and the finish you pick. Our driveway page goes into what moves the number. Call (432) 219-6562 and I'll come out and price yours.
Why do concrete bids in Midland vary so much?
Usually because they're pricing different work under the slab. The base is hidden once the concrete's down, so it's the first thing cut to lower a bid, and a slab on dirt that was only raked level tends to settle with it. If something has to give, I'd trim the finish before the base, and our written estimate spells out both so you can compare bids on the same terms.
How long until I can use my new concrete driveway or patio?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps curing for a while after it looks done. How long you're without it also depends on the size, the weather and whether a permit has to come through first. I'll tell you what to expect for your job at the estimate.
Is R&C Midland Concrete Construction licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. Inside Midland city limits, the city also requires contractors who build or renovate there to register with it and post a $10,000 bond before any permit is issued. That's a fair thing to ask any contractor you're considering.
What happens after I call for a concrete estimate?
We get back to you within one business day, and I come out myself to look at the job and write the estimate. If you go ahead, we sort out the permit side, our crew lead runs the pour with our finishers, and I walk the finished work with you.
Do you guarantee your concrete work in Midland?
Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. What I won't promise is concrete that never cracks, because no honest contractor can, so I go over what's normal for a new slab before we pour.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
It may get some small cracks, because concrete shrinks as it dries, but we cut control joints, shallow grooves in the surface, so those cracks follow lines we chose. Cracks that spread and sink usually start underneath, when the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so that's where we put our effort.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Midland, TX?
It depends on where you live and what's being built, so we check with the right office before we schedule anything. Inside city limits, most construction needs a building permit, which you can apply for through the city, and outside city limits in Midland County, driveway permits come from the county's Public Works office. We can apply as your contractor or help you through it, and we wait for the permit before work starts.
