Not sure which option you need? We’ll give you an honest recommendation after a free inspection.
Before we arrive with trucks and tools, there are steps you can take to prepare your property for a smooth, hassle-free installation.
✅ Clear Access:
Ensure vehicles, landscaping items, and other obstructions are out of the work area. We’ll need full access from the street to the pour site. If fences or gates need to be temporarily removed for equipment, we’ll coordinate that with you ahead of time.
✅ Mark Utilities:
We work with utility companies to mark gas, water, and electric lines before excavation. Still, it helps if you know where sprinkler lines or private lighting cables run — pointing these out can prevent accidental damage.
✅ Discuss Drainage Needs:
Austin’s heavy rains can cause water to pool in low spots. We’ll review the existing drainage around your driveway and, if needed, recommend trench drains, slope adjustments, or other solutions to protect your investment.
✅ Plan for Pets & Kids:
Once the work begins, the area will be an active construction zone. We advise homeowners to keep pets and children indoors or away from the workspace for safety.
✅ Neighbor Notifications:
In some cases, especially in tight neighborhoods like Clarksville or Hyde Park, it’s courteous (and smart) to give neighbors a heads-up about the project. Our team works quickly and cleans up thoroughly, but a quick conversation helps maintain good relations on your street.
By partnering with Atlas, you’re not just getting a driveway, you’re getting a carefully planned, hassle-free experience from start to finish.

Night and weekend work available to avoid disrupting operations.
A properly installed concrete driveway in Austin can last over 25 years, but smart maintenance can push it even further. Here’s what we recommend:
🔹 Seal the Surface Regularly:
While we offer optional sealing 30 days after installation, resealing every 3–5 years protects against water intrusion, stains, and Austin’s intense UV exposure.
🔹 Keep it Clean:
Leaves, oil spills, and dirt buildup can stain concrete over time. A simple rinse with a garden hose or occasional pressure washing will help maintain its fresh look.
🔹 Avoid Heavy Loads:
While residential driveways are built for cars and light trucks, repeatedly parking heavy vehicles (like RVs or delivery trucks) can cause premature cracking.
🔹 Mind the Edges:
The edges of your driveway are the most vulnerable spots. Avoid driving off the sides or placing heavy planters right on the edge, as this can weaken the structure over time.
🔹 Watch for Small Cracks:
Austin’s clay soil can shift, leading to small hairline cracks. Catching and sealing these early prevents them from spreading and causing more serious issues.
🔹 Prepare for Austin Winters:
Though Austin doesn’t often freeze, when we do get icy weather, avoid using harsh de-icing salts, which can damage the concrete surface. Instead, use sand for traction.
