Sherman ConcreteSherman Concrete Company is Sherman's local concrete contractor, serving Grayson County with driveways, slab foundations, and patios. Based in Sherman and serving the area since 2023, we respond to every new inquiry within one business day.
Sherman has a large share of homes from the 1950s through the 1980s, most of which still have their original driveways. Those older slabs have cracked and settled after decades of clay soil movement, and replacing them is one of the most common concrete jobs in the city. If your driveway is uneven, stained, or crumbling at the edges, see what our concrete driveway building service can do for your property.
Sherman sits on expansive clay soils that can move several inches between a wet spring and a dry summer. New construction in the area requires a properly engineered slab foundation that accounts for this soil behavior - cutting corners on preparation leads to expensive structural problems that compound over time.
Sherman summers are long and hot, which means homeowners here actually use their outdoor spaces for much of the year. A well-poured concrete patio is one of the most practical outdoor investments for a Sherman home - it stays level, handles foot traffic, and does not require the ongoing upkeep that wood decks demand in this climate.
Some Sherman properties - particularly those on the older residential streets near the city center - have yards that slope toward the house or toward the street. Concrete retaining walls hold that soil in place, preventing erosion and protecting both the landscaping and the foundation from water channeling in the wrong direction.
Many of the established neighborhoods in Sherman have sidewalks that have lifted and cracked where tree roots have pushed up from below. Replacing those sections removes a trip hazard, keeps the property in compliance with city standards, and restores curb appeal for homes where the front walkway is the first thing visitors see.
Pool ownership in Sherman makes practical sense given the summer heat. A concrete pool deck that was poured without control joints - or that has shifted due to soil movement - develops cracks that collect standing water and create slip hazards. Getting the deck right the first time, or replacing a failing one, protects the investment the pool represents.
Sherman sits on the same heavy, expansive clay soils that cover most of North Texas. This clay swells when it absorbs water and shrinks back during dry spells - and in Sherman, that cycle happens every year, often dramatically between a wet spring and a brutal August. That constant movement is the single biggest threat to concrete flatwork and slab foundations in this area. A contractor who does not account for it at the prep stage - with proper grading, compaction, and control joint placement - is setting up a failure that shows up within a few years as cracking, settling, and drainage problems.
The winters add another challenge. Sherman sees regular hard freezes, and the February 2021 winter storm reminded the whole area of what happens when cold hits quickly and stays. Freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete that was already stressed by summer soil movement, and water that gets into those cracks expands them from the inside. Addressing damaged concrete promptly - rather than letting small cracks grow through another season - is the most cost-effective approach for Sherman homeowners. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension has published detailed guidance on how expansive soils affect concrete and foundations in North Texas specifically.
Our crew works throughout Sherman regularly, and we pull permits through the City of Sherman Development Services department for projects that require them. Sherman has a mix of property types that each present different concrete needs: the ranch-style brick homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s often have original driveways and patios that are well past their service life, while the newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town are adding concrete flatwork as homeowners settle in and improve their properties. We know what to expect in both situations.
Sherman sits about 65 miles north of Dallas along US Highway 75, and the city has grown noticeably as people move north out of the DFW metro. The neighborhoods near Austin College on Grand Avenue represent some of the most established residential streets in the city, while the newer developments further out are still being completed. Lake Texoma to the north and the Grayson County Courthouse area downtown are landmarks most Sherman residents use as reference points for neighborhoods. We also serve customers in nearby Denison, TX and surrounding communities throughout Grayson County.
Reach us by phone or through the estimate form on this page. We respond to every inquiry from Sherman homeowners within one business day, and there is no obligation attached to the initial conversation.
We visit the property to measure the area, assess the site conditions - including drainage and soil stability - and give you a written estimate with a clear breakdown. You know the total cost before any work is scheduled.
We prepare the sub-base, set forms, place reinforcement where needed, and pour the concrete. Sherman's clay soil requires careful compaction and grading at this stage - this is where the quality of the finished slab is determined.
Once the concrete is poured and finished, we walk you through the cure timeline - typically 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and 7 days before vehicle use. We do a final walkthrough before we leave so you know exactly what was done.
We serve Sherman and all of Grayson County. Fill out the form or call us directly - we reply within one business day and all estimates are free.
Sherman is the county seat of Grayson County with a population of roughly 45,000 residents, making it one of the larger cities in the area north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The city has a well-established residential core with neighborhoods that range from the historic streets near downtown and the Grayson County Courthouse to newer subdivisions that have filled in on the north and east sides of the city. Owner-occupied homes make up the majority of Sherman's housing stock, and the city's proximity to Lake Texoma - one of the largest reservoirs in the United States - gives it a character that is distinct from most suburban Texas cities.
The housing stock in Sherman skews older in its established neighborhoods, with many homes built between the 1940s and the 1980s in the classic North Texas ranch style. These homes sit on slab foundations and are built predominantly with brick exteriors - materials that hold up well in this climate but require periodic attention as they age. Sherman has also seen growth tied to employers like Texas Instruments, which has a major facility in the area, bringing residents who are investing in homes for the long term. We also work regularly in Denison, TX to the east, another Grayson County community with similar housing characteristics and concrete service needs.
