Bedford had about 2,700 residents in 1960 and nearly 44,000 by 1990. Almost the whole city went up in those thirty years, and Highway 121 and Airport Freeway both run through it. That means a lot of Bedford driveways, walks and patios were poured in the 1970s and 1980s, and plenty of them are heaved, cracked or sunk by now. Call (817) 207-5579 and we will come take a look.
Bedford jobs we see most
- Driveways from the 1970s and 1980s with no rebar in them, broken into plates
- Walks lifted by mature trees planted when the neighborhood was new
- Small patios that the next owners want twice as big
- Steps at the front porch that pulled away from the house
- Slab extensions for a third parking spot beside the garage
Older slabs we break out sometimes have wire mesh lying flat on the dirt, or no steel at all. When we pour the new slab, the rebar sits on chairs in the middle of the concrete where it can do its job.
Repair before replace
We do not push full replacement on a Bedford driveway that has one bad panel. If the rest of it is flat and solid, cutting out and repouring the bad section costs a fraction of a new driveway. See concrete repair for how we decide. The 1914 Bedford School building on School Lane is on the National Register of Historic Places, but nearly everything else in town is much younger.

Questions about concrete work in Bedford
- Should I replace my whole Bedford driveway or just part?
- If one or two panels are bad and the rest sit flat, replace those panels. If cracks run across most of it and pieces have shifted, replace the whole thing.
- Can you widen my driveway for another car?
- In most cases, yes. We dowel the new strip into the old slab, or replace the whole driveway if the old part is in rough shape.
Call us, or send the form, and we will set a time to look at the job and price it in writing.
