Foundations, driveways and flatwork for the hills off Loop 360. For 25+ years, DB Concrete has poured on the steep, rocky lots that west Austin is known for.
Davenport Ranch started as a cattle ranch. In 1947, Osceola Heard Davenport bought close to 1,300 acres near Lake Austin. The Robertson family bought the land in 1967.
Plans for the Loop 360 bridge changed everything. In the late 1970s the family began to build a planned community here. The bridge opened in 1982. Most homes went up from the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s. Lots run from about a tenth of an acre to more than three acres. Many homes top 3,800 square feet. That means a lot of slab work on slopes, and a lot of older driveways now due for a replacement.
These are the things that shape almost every job we do here.
Davenport Ranch is inside Austin city limits. It sits in the Lake Austin watershed, in the city's Drinking Water Protection Zone. Site plans here fall under the Lake Austin Watershed Ordinance from 1984.
For you, that means a cap on how much of the lot can be hard surface. A wider driveway or a big patio can push a lot over that line. We plan the flatwork and the drainage together, so the job fits the rules before we pour.
A new driveway in Davenport Ranch often means new work at the street. The approach, the curb and the sidewalk all sit in the City of Austin right-of-way. That work needs a permit and a licensed right-of-way contractor.
DB Concrete is a City of Austin right-of-way contractor. We pull the permit and pour the approach to city detail. You don't have to find a second contractor halfway through the job.
We walk the lot with you. We look at the slope, the trees, the access, and where the water goes.
You get an accurate takeoff and a written price. No guesswork and no surprise change orders.
We handle the right-of-way permit when the job needs one. We also work with your builder, arborist and other trades.
We place and finish the concrete with care. Then we clean up and walk the job with you.

Yes. We come out, look at the lot, and give you a written price. You don't owe us anything to get it.
Yes. Most of Davenport Ranch is sloped, and we plan for it. We look at grade, access and drainage on the first visit, before we give you a price. See our sitework.
The city caps hard surface on lots in the Lake Austin watershed. The limit depends on your lot. We check it before we design a wider driveway or a new patio.
That's common here. We give you the plans and details your HOA asks for, so the review goes smoothly before we start.
