Concrete Driveways
Durable, beautiful driveways built to last for decades in McAllen, TX.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they visit your home. It needs to look good and hold up under daily use. That is where concrete comes in. A professional concrete driveway from TY McAllen Concrete gives you strength, curb appeal, and decades of reliable performance.
Concrete driveways can handle heavy vehicles without cracking or sinking. They resist the heat and occasional storms we get here in South Texas. Unlike asphalt, concrete does not need frequent resealing. Once we pour and finish your driveway, you get a surface that stays solid year after year with minimal upkeep.

Our Driveway Installation Process
Installing a concrete driveway is not just about pouring concrete and walking away. The prep work makes all the difference. We start by evaluating your property to understand drainage, soil conditions, and how you plan to use the driveway. This helps us design a solution that fits your needs.
Next, we excavate the area and build a solid base. The base is critical because it prevents settling and cracking down the road. We compact the soil, add gravel, and make sure everything is graded correctly so water drains away from your home. Then we set the forms, add rebar reinforcement, and pour the concrete.
What Makes Our Work Stand Out
We do not rush the curing process. Concrete needs time to reach full strength, and we protect your new driveway during this critical period. We also offer decorative finishes like stamped patterns and custom colors if you want something beyond a standard gray finish. Many homeowners choose a broom finish for traction or a smooth finish for a clean, modern look.
Our crew pays attention to details like expansion joints, which allow the concrete to expand and contract without cracking. We also make sure the driveway slopes slightly so water does not pool. These small things add up to a driveway that looks great and performs well for decades.
Driveway Design Options and Styles
Your driveway does not have to be boring. We offer several finishes and styles to match your home and personal taste. A standard broom finish is affordable and provides good traction. It is a practical choice that works for most homes. If you want something with more character, stamped concrete can mimic the look of brick, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost.
Color options let you go beyond basic gray. You can choose earth tones, warm browns, or even subtle blues and greens. We add color directly to the concrete mix or apply it to the surface for different effects. Borders and accents can also break up large driveway areas and add visual interest.
Popular Driveway Finishes
- •Broom Finish: Textured surface for traction and a classic look
- •Smooth Trowel: Clean, modern appearance ideal for contemporary homes
- •Stamped Patterns: Mimics brick, stone, or slate for upscale curb appeal
- •Exposed Aggregate: Reveals decorative stones for unique texture
- •Colored Concrete: Custom tints to complement your home exterior
We also handle driveway extensions and turnarounds. If you need more parking space or want to add a circular drive, we can design and build it. Our team takes measurements, creates a plan, and makes sure the new section blends seamlessly with your existing driveway or home.
