Bellaire concrete for tight lots and new two-story homes
Bellaire is a small city completely surrounded by Houston, where many of the original 1950s ranch homes have been replaced with large new houses on the same narrow lots.
Bellaire sits just southwest of the Loop, surrounded on every side by the City of Houston but governed by its own city hall, with its own permit process. Much of it was built in the decades after the war as modest ranch homes, and over the last thirty years a large share has been torn down and rebuilt as two-story homes that cover much more of the lot.
That pattern shapes concrete work here. A new home on a Bellaire lot leaves little room for water to soak in, so driveways, walks and patios are planned with drainage close at hand, and the city has its own expectations for drainage on new construction. Driveways are often long and narrow, running from the street to a rear or side garage along the property line, which means careful forming next to the neighbor's fence and a slope that keeps water on your side.
We work with homeowners and builders on new-construction flatwork, and with long-time owners refreshing a driveway, a front walk or a backyard patio. For work at the street, the City of Bellaire's permit applies rather than Houston's.

Bellaire questions
Who permits concrete work in Bellaire?
The City of Bellaire, which has its own permits and inspections, not the City of Houston.
Can you work with my builder's schedule?
Yes. We coordinate flatwork with framers, landscapers and the final grade so the concrete goes in once, at the right time.
How do you keep water off my neighbor's lot?
By setting the driveway and patio slopes so runoff heads to the street or your drains, not the shared fence line.
