Serving Atascocita, TX and surrounding areas. (832) 849-4374
Atascocita Concrete Company serves Friendswood, TX with concrete patio construction, driveway building, and flatwork - designed for the clay soil, flood-zone drainage demands, and 30- to 50-year-old housing stock that define concrete projects in this community. We have served the greater Houston area since 2024 and handle Friendswood city permitting on every applicable project.
Friendswood was built out quickly in the 1970s through 1990s, and many homes in those original subdivisions have no patio or a cracked slab past repair. A new patio poured with proper drainage slope and base compaction gives homeowners a durable outdoor space - and gets water moving away from the foundation on a lot that sees 50 inches of rain a year. Our concrete patio construction work is designed specifically for the clay soil and drainage conditions common across Friendswood.
Driveways in Friendswood homes built in the 1970s and 1980s are at or past their expected service life. The clay soil shifts underneath them through every wet and dry season, and many show the result: cracked sections, sunken panels, and edges that have broken away. We replace and install driveways with a base preparation process designed for this soil type, so the new surface does not repeat the same failure pattern.
Private walkways and front entry paths in Friendswood take the same clay soil pressure as driveways but on a smaller scale - and lifted or cracked sections become a safety issue for families and visitors. We install and replace sidewalks with control joints spaced for clay movement and drainage grades that keep water from pooling near your front entry or foundation.
Pools are a practical choice in Friendswood's long, hot summers, and the concrete deck around the pool needs to handle heavy foot traffic, pool chemical exposure, and the moisture that comes with sitting next to water. We pour and resurface pool decks with textured, slip-resistant finishes and sealers that stand up to the heat and humidity this area delivers from June through September.
On Friendswood lots with grade changes or drainage channels nearby, a concrete retaining wall keeps saturated clay soil from slumping or eroding toward structures during heavy rain. Properties that experienced flooding during Hurricane Harvey sometimes need retaining and drainage corrections that were not part of the original build - we assess the site and design walls for the specific conditions on your property.
Friendswood homeowners invest in their properties - median home values here are well above the Texas average - and a stamped finish on a driveway, patio, or walkway reflects that investment without the cost of natural stone or pavers. Stamped concrete holds up well in this climate when sealed properly, and we choose sealers rated for Gulf Coast UV and humidity exposure.
Friendswood's housing stock is dominated by homes built between the 1970s and 1990s - a period when the city grew rapidly as a Houston suburb. Those homes are now 30 to 50 years old, and the original concrete flatwork - driveways, patios, walkways - has been working against clay soil movement and Gulf Coast rainfall for every one of those years. At that age, surface cracking, settled sections, and drainage problems are not anomalies; they are the predictable result of original concrete reaching the end of its design life on this particular soil type. The city straddles Galveston and Harris counties, and permitting expectations can differ depending on which side of the line a property sits on.
The drainage situation in Friendswood adds urgency that not every Houston suburb faces. Parts of the city sit in or near FEMA flood zones, particularly near Chigger Creek and other drainage corridors. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 caused significant flooding across sections of Friendswood, and many properties in affected areas were repaired or rebuilt after that event. In that context, every concrete project here needs to be thought about as part of the property's overall drainage picture. A poorly graded patio or a cracked driveway that holds water instead of shedding it is a liability in a city where 50 inches of annual rainfall is the norm and a named storm can bring that much in a few days.
Friendswood is an incorporated city, which means concrete permits are pulled through the City of Friendswood Building Department rather than a county office - a distinction that matters for project scheduling because city permit timelines differ from Montgomery and Harris County processes. We handle the permit application for applicable projects and factor the review timeline into the job schedule so homeowners are not waiting on paperwork surprises.
The city feels more compact than most Houston suburbs - most neighborhoods are within a short drive of Stevenson Park, Friendswood High School, and FM 518, the main commercial corridor. Subdivisions closer to the Galveston County line tend to be on lower-lying ground, and drainage on those properties requires more careful planning than in the city's slightly elevated central neighborhoods. The Quaker heritage of Friendswood has shaped a community that values quality and staying put - most homeowners here have been in their homes for years and make long-term decisions about maintenance rather than patching and waiting.
We also serve neighboring Baytown, which sits to the northeast along the Ship Channel corridor and has its own set of industrial-adjacent soil and drainage conditions that shape concrete work there. To the northwest, League City borders Friendswood and shares the same clay soil profile - homeowners in the Clear Lake area often call us for work on both sides of that boundary.
We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site visit. If you have had flooding or drainage issues on your property, let us know in advance - it helps us bring the right questions and tools for the assessment.
We assess the soil, existing drainage, and current slab condition before pricing the work. Every estimate is written and itemized - you will see base prep, permit fees, and any drainage work as separate line items so you understand what you are paying for and why.
We pull the City of Friendswood permit before work starts and schedule any required inspection into the project timeline. Base excavation and gravel compaction happen before any concrete is poured - this step takes longer than most homeowners expect, and that is normal.
We schedule pours for early morning in summer and use curing protection on hot days. The surface is ready for foot traffic in 48 hours and normal use after seven days. We do a final walkthrough with you and test that water drains in the right direction before we close out the job.
We serve Friendswood homeowners across all neighborhoods, from the subdivisions near Stevenson Park to the areas closer to the Galveston County line. Call us or send a message and we will get back to you within 1 business day.
(832) 849-4374Friendswood is a city of around 40,000 people located about 25 miles southeast of downtown Houston, split between Galveston and Harris counties. It was founded in 1895 by Quaker settlers, and that founding identity as a close-knit, family-oriented community has carried through to the present. Most of the city's single-family neighborhoods were built between the 1970s and 1990s, creating a housing stock that is predominantly brick-exterior detached homes on moderate to large lots. Median household incomes are well above the national average, and median home values consistently land in the $350,000 to $400,000 range. Friendswood is known throughout the Houston area for its stable community, strong schools, and high homeownership rate - most residents have been in their homes for years.
Stevenson Park in the heart of the city is the most recognized community landmark, hosting local events year-round. FM 518 runs through the center of town as the main commercial corridor, and most residential neighborhoods are within a short distance of that spine. Many Friendswood residents work in the nearby aerospace and engineering sector around NASA Johnson Space Center, just a few miles away in Clear Lake. The city borders League City to the west and northwest, where the same clay soil and Gulf Coast drainage conditions apply. To the east, Baytown sits across the county line and faces a different set of industrial-area soil and environmental conditions that we also work with regularly.
