Sherman ConcreteCompany
Sherman ConcreteSherman Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Denton, TX with stamped concrete, driveways, slab foundations, and patio construction designed for the area's challenging clay soils. We have been serving communities across North Texas since 2023 and respond to every Denton inquiry within one business day.
Denton homeowners with newer subdivisions on the south and east sides of the city are increasingly choosing stamped concrete for driveways and patios because it adds visual appeal without the ongoing maintenance that wood decks or pavers require in the Texas heat. Our stamped concrete services include pattern and color work that holds up to Denton's seasonal soil movement.
Many of Denton's mid-century neighborhoods near the historic downtown square have driveways that are 40 or 50 years old - past their service life and showing it in the form of heaving, cracking, and poor drainage. A properly prepared concrete driveway built for Denton's clay conditions will handle that soil movement for decades without constant patching.
New additions and structures in Denton require slab foundations engineered for the local clay soil, which moves significantly with wet and dry cycles. Skipping proper base compaction and thickness on a Denton slab leads to settling and cracking that costs far more to fix later than it does to get right on the first pour.
Denton's long, hot summers mean outdoor spaces get heavy use from April through October. A concrete patio built on a solid base outlasts pavers and wood decking in this climate and does not require re-leveling or staining every few years to stay functional and safe.
Older Denton neighborhoods often have yards with grade changes that were never properly managed, and years of clay soil movement have made those slopes worse. Concrete retaining walls stop erosion and hold soil in place, protecting foundations and landscaping from the damage that slow, steady movement causes over time.
Near the University of North Texas and in Denton's older residential neighborhoods, sidewalks pushed up by tree roots or shifted by soil movement create real trip hazards. Replacing lifted sections brings the walkway back level and removes liability for homeowners whose sidewalk fronts a public right-of-way.
Denton sits on the same expansive clay soil belt that causes foundation and concrete problems across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That clay expands when it gets wet in spring and contracts sharply during Denton's long, dry summers - sometimes pulling away from a foundation by several inches. The back-and-forth happens every year, and every year it puts more stress on any concrete that was not poured on a properly compacted base with adequate thickness and control joint spacing. Homes built in the mid-century neighborhoods close to the historic downtown square have been through this cycle for 50 or 60 years, and the concrete shows it.
Denton's winters add another layer. Hard freezes and ice storms - including events like the February 2021 freeze that affected all of North Texas - push water into existing cracks, which then expands as it freezes and widens the damage. The newer subdivisions on the south side of Denton, many of which were built between 2000 and 2015, are now entering their first major maintenance cycle for driveways, sidewalks, and patios. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension has published detailed guidance on how expansive soils affect concrete and foundations throughout this region.
Our crew works throughout Denton regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The city has a wide range of property types - from older homes a few blocks from the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square that were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, to mid-century ranch homes in established neighborhoods, to newer suburban builds in communities like Savannah and Rayzor Ranch on the city's south and east edges. The type of concrete work each property needs is very different depending on the era it was built and how well the original slab preparation held up over time.
Denton is located at the split of I-35E and I-35W, about 35 miles north of Dallas, and serves as the county seat of Denton County. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University together bring a large student population into the city, which means a significant share of the older neighborhoods near campus are rental properties with deferred maintenance - a common situation we encounter when quoting work near the university corridors. We also serve customers in Lewisville, TX and other communities throughout the North Texas area.
Reach us by phone or through the estimate form below. Every inquiry from Denton homeowners gets a response within one business day, and the initial conversation is completely free with no obligation.
We come to your Denton property, measure the work area, check drainage and soil conditions, and give you a written estimate with a clear price breakdown. There are no surprise charges added later - what we quote is what you pay.
We handle all prep work, including sub-base compaction and forming, before we pour. For Denton projects in summer heat, we schedule pours for cooler parts of the day and use curing techniques that prevent surface cracking on fresh concrete.
When the work is done and the concrete has cured, we clean up the site and walk you through the finished work before we leave. We also give you simple care instructions so the concrete lasts as long as possible.

Denton is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, with a population of around 148,000 as of the 2020 Census and steady growth continuing since. The city is defined in large part by the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University, which together enroll roughly 50,000 students and make Denton one of the largest college towns in the state. That university presence shapes the housing market across the city: neighborhoods near campus have a heavy concentration of rental properties, while areas farther from the universities tend to be owner-occupied homes with longer-term residents investing in upkeep and improvements.
The building stock in Denton spans nearly every era of construction. The blocks closest to the historic downtown square include homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Post-war ranch-style homes fill the mid-century neighborhoods. And large master-planned subdivisions on the south and east sides - Savannah, Harvest, Rayzor Ranch - are mostly 2000s through 2010s construction now entering their first big maintenance phase. Our crew works throughout all of these areas. Residents in neighboring communities like Gainesville, TX to the north and Frisco, TX to the south are also within our service area.
