Somerville homeowners know the drill: the clay soil around Lake Somerville swells after spring rains and shrinks during our long, hot summers, and that means cracked driveways, settling patios, and uneven walkways. College Station Concrete has been fixing concrete problems in Somerville (77863) and the surrounding Brazos Valley for years, and we know exactly what the ground here does to your outdoor surfaces.
Whether you're maintaining a lake house, a weekend place near the water, or a year-round home in Somerville, we handle everything from new patios and driveways to repairs, sealing, and leveling. Call us at (979) 271-5246 for a free on-site estimate, and we'll show you why your neighbors trust us with their concrete.
Concrete in Somerville (77863)
Somerville sits in the heart of the Brazos Valley, where the ground is the real challenge. The dark, highly expansive clay soil that dominates this area swells significantly after heavy Gulf rains and spring thunderstorms, then shrinks and cracks during our long, dry summers. That cycle is brutal on concrete. Driveways settle unevenly, patios crack at the joints, and sidewalks heave and create trip hazards. We see it constantly in Somerville's mix of lake homes, weekend retreats, and year-round residences.
Our team understands Somerville's terrain and climate. We use solid base preparation, proper control joints, and steel reinforcement to build concrete that holds up to the soil movement and the heat. We also seal new and existing concrete to protect it from UV damage and moisture penetration, which is especially important in a place where summer heat and humidity are relentless. If your slab has already settled or cracked, we can level it, repair it, or replace it. We've been serving Somerville and College Station for long enough to know what works here.

How a Job Works in Somerville
Step one is always a free on-site assessment. We come to your Somerville property, look at the existing concrete, check the grade and drainage, and talk through what you want. If you have an HOA, we'll help you understand any approval requirements. We give you a detailed quote, answer your questions, and explain the timeline.
Step two is the work itself. We handle site prep carefully, especially on Somerville lots where access can be tight and oak trees are everywhere. We set up proper erosion control, lay base material to the right depth, place reinforcement if needed, and pour and finish the concrete to your specifications. If you want stamped or decorative concrete, we'll discuss patterns and colors. If it's a repair or leveling job, we use the right technique for the problem. We coordinate with the city on permits and right-of-way requirements if your project involves a driveway cut or sidewalk near the street.
Step three is cleanup and final walkthrough. We remove all debris, haul away old concrete if we're replacing it, and leave your property clean and ready to use. You'll walk the finished job with us and know exactly what you're getting.
Concrete costs in Somerville depend on the size of the job, site access, the condition of existing concrete, and how quickly you need it done. A basic concrete patio or driveway typically runs from $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes start around $10 per square foot. If you have an existing slab that's cracked or settled, repair and resurfacing can start as low as $3 per square foot, and concrete leveling (slab lifting) runs from $4 per square foot. Sealing, which we strongly recommend in Somerville's heat and humidity, starts at $0.75 per square foot. Removal and replacement of old concrete runs from $7 per square foot. Pool decks, garage floors, and other specialty work have their own pricing. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (979) 271-5246 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the site conditions, and give you a firm quote with no surprises.
