Commercial Concrete Contractor / Dallas, TX
Commercial concrete on ground that moves.
Flatwork, paving, foundations and sitework for developers, general contractors and facility teams across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Every scope is engineered against Blackland Prairie clay before a single yard is poured.
Who We Build For
Built strong.
Built right.
Urban Concrete & Construction is a licensed and insured commercial concrete contractor headquartered in North Dallas. We self-perform heavy-duty paving, structural foundation work and commercial flatwork across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, working directly with developers, general contractors, property managers and facility teams.
Concrete does not fail on its own. It fails because the ground underneath it moves. The Metroplex sits on Blackland Prairie Vertisol clay that shrinks through drought and swells with hydrostatic pressure through spring. We specify subgrade treatment, reinforcement and mix design against that movement rather than pouring over native dirt and hoping.
Commercial Capabilities
Capability
index
Seven self-performed commercial scopes, coordinated under one contract and one schedule.
Laser-screeded floors, structural slabs on grade, sidewalks, curbs and gutters poured to ACI 302.1R and detailed for the load the slab actually carries.
- Warehouse and distribution floors designed for 10,000 pound forklift loads
- Continuous #3 deformed steel rebar grids over treated subgrade
- Retail entryways, dock aprons, curb and gutter
Six-inch rigid concrete pavement built to replace asphalt that ruts and softens through a North Texas summer, plus phased repair and overlay for lots that have to stay open.
- Full-depth pavement replacement and section repair
- Drive lanes, fire lanes, dumpster pads and approaches
- Striping and accessible stall layout coordinated with the pour
Deep-drilled steel piers that stop differential settlement across apartment communities and commercial structures, with designs backed by Texas Professional Engineers.
- Multi-family underpinning phased building by building
- Void-form installation and structural shoring
- Post-tension cable destressing and splicing
Accessibility work built to survive inspection: true 1:12 slope grading, cast-in-place iron truncated domes, and trip hazard remediation that clears municipal violations.
- ADA ramps, landings and accessible routes
- Sidewalk grinding and slab jacking within 48 hours
- Dallas Chapter 43-63 trip hazard compliance
The complete concrete package on new commercial development, from building pad through final flatwork, held to the schedule the rest of the trades are working to.
- Building pads, footings and slab on grade
- Site concrete, approaches and hardscape
- Metal building foundations and erection coordination
Selective demolition, excavation and grading run by the same crew that pours the concrete, so the subgrade is prepared to the specification the slab was designed around.
- Concrete and asphalt removal with haul off
- Cut, fill and compaction to grade
- Lime stabilization and geotechnical subgrade treatment
Retaining structures and site masonry engineered for the lateral load and drainage conditions of the site, including stabilization of walls already under movement.
- Block, brick and stone site walls
- Engineered retaining walls with drainage detail
- Geotechnical tie-backs for active wall movement
Poured around your operation, not through it
Multi-phase flatwork sequenced so loading docks, drive lanes and tenant access stay open while the work moves across the site.

Why Urban Concrete
How the work
gets delivered
We are a technical contractor, not a crew with a truck. Numbers are measured, mixes are specified, and compliance is designed into the scope instead of corrected after inspection.
Engineered execution
Estimates are calculated from digital laser levels, exact square footage and precise material density, so the bid reflects the site rather than an allowance. Mix design, reinforcement and subgrade treatment are specified against the load the finished surface has to carry.
Commercial coordination
Multi-phase work is sequenced with facility teams and general contractors so supply chains, loading docks and tenant access keep running. High-early-strength materials and rapid-curing systems return sections of the property to service in hours rather than weeks.
Code-conscious construction
ADA built to a true 1:12 with cast-in-place iron truncated domes, Dallas Chapter 43-63 trip hazard remediation, and 300-CFM HEPA dust extraction on all cutting and routing so active inventory and adjacent tenants stay protected.
Engineered for North Texas
The ground under
the Metroplex
The Dallas Metroplex sits directly on the Blackland Prairie, a geological zone defined by expansive Vertisol clay. Through summer drought the soil shrinks and cracks. Through spring flooding it absorbs water and expands with thousands of pounds of upward hydraulic pressure.
Generic contractors ignore that reality and pour cheap concrete straight onto native dirt. We treat the subgrade chemically with lime stabilization, drive steel piers to bedrock, and tie continuous grids of #3 deformed rebar, so the finished structure holds its line through the cycle instead of tracking it.
