Concrete Foundation Services in Mesquite, TX
Strong Starts Begin with Solid Foundations
When it comes to any structure—your home, garage, shed, or addition—nothing is more important than the foundation it sits on. At BL Concrete Contractor Mesquite, we pour concrete foundations in Mesquite, TX that are solid, level, and built to hold up under Texas soil and weather. Whether you’re building new, adding onto your property, or replacing a failing foundation, we’ve got the tools, knowledge, and experience to get it done right.
We’re not just concrete guys—we’re foundation specialists who understand how critical a proper pour is for long-term safety and performance.
Types of Concrete Foundations We Build
We install all major types of residential and light commercial concrete foundations:
1. Slab-on-Grade Foundations
The most common type in Mesquite. These are flat, poured directly on a prepared ground surface. Best for homes, garages, and additions.
> Ideal for stable soil and flat lots
> Fast, cost-effective, and low maintenance
> Great for warm climates like Texas (no frost line issues)
2. Pier and Beam Footings
We dig footings for posts/piers and pour reinforced concrete pads. These are used for structures that require crawl spaces or uneven ground.
> Allows for air flow and easier utility access
> Ideal for mobile homes, cabins, or decks
> Useful when soil shifts or slopes are present
3. Monolithic Slabs
These combine footing and slab into a single pour. Often used for garages, shops, and detached structures.
> Saves time and labor
> Strong and uniform
> Great for light commercial or heavy-duty residential use
Don’t know which type you need? No problem—we’ll assess your site and recommend the right foundation based on soil conditions, budget, and project type.
Our Concrete Foundation Process
We’ve poured foundations for new builds, garages, sheds, and room additions across Mesquite—from Towne Centre to Creek Crossing and Falcon’s Lair.
Here’s how we handle every job:
1. Site Evaluation & Layout
We inspect the area, check for slope, drainage, and soil stability. Then we mark out the layout and elevations based on your structure’s design.
2. Excavation & Grading
We dig footings and grade the site for levelness. We also compact the soil or add a gravel base as needed to prevent shifting or settling.
3. Forms & Reinforcement
We build sturdy forms to shape the concrete and install steel reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh) to strengthen the slab.
4. Pouring Concrete
We pour high-strength concrete using proper thickness and techniques to avoid air pockets or cold joints. Everything is vibrated, leveled, and smoothed.
5. Curing & Protection
We allow the slab to cure properly and protect it from damage, sun, or rain. This step is crucial—rushing curing leads to cracking later.
6. Final Prep
Once cured, we remove forms, clean up the site, and leave it ready for framing or anchoring.
Why Mesquite Soil Matters for Foundations
Mesquite, TX has expansive clay soil, which means it swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This movement can wreak havoc on poorly built foundations—causing cracks, sloping floors, or structural issues.
At BL Concrete Contractor Mesquite, we know how to deal with our soil. We:
Reinforce slabs properly for soil movement
Compact the subgrade to prevent uneven settling
Add vapor barriers and drainage layers to manage moisture
Use thicker edges or footings where needed
Place control joints strategically to reduce stress cracking
It’s not just about pouring concrete. It’s about building something that stays put.

We also offer:
Anchor bolt installation
Garage slab thickening for heavier loads
Foundation extensions for additions

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Client Says About Us
"We hired BL Concrete to replace our cracked, old driveway and let me tell you—what a difference! From the first phone call to the final cleanup, they were super professional and easy to work with. They showed up on time every day, explained the whole process in plain English, and didn’t try to upsell us on anything. The new driveway looks clean, smooth, and just solid. Our neighbors already asked who did it. Highly recommend these guys if you're in Mesquite!"
Travis M., Mesquite, TX
"I found BL Concrete through a local Facebook group and I'm so glad I gave them a call. We wanted a patio for the backyard, just something simple for our family to hang out on. They walked us through a few layout options, explained how the slope would work for drainage, and even suggested a broom finish so it wouldn't be slippery. The result? It looks amazing! My husband and I sit out there every evening now. Super friendly crew too—not one of those companies that rush through the job."
Sandra P., Falcon’s Lair
"We had a tripping hazard on the sidewalk in front of our house and needed it fixed fast before someone got hurt. BL Concrete came out, gave a very fair quote, and got to work the next morning. The repair blended in great with the existing concrete, and you honestly can’t tell it was ever damaged. They even cleaned up all the mess and left the area better than they found it. Real stand-up company. I’d use them again in a heartbeat."
