Local Concrete Contractor in Victoria TX - Concrete Built to Last

Victoria is a mid-size city of roughly 65,000 to 70,000 people and serves as the commercial and services hub for the broader Coastal Bend region of South Texas. Known locally as "The Crossroads" because of where US Highways 59, 77, and 87 converge, the city draws residents and workers from a wide surrounding rural area. You can read more about the city at victoriatx.gov. The city overview on Wikipedia covers its history as one of the older cities in Texas, its industrial backbone tied to oil and petrochemical work, and its role as the county seat of Victoria County with a historic downtown courthouse square.

Victoria's housing stock spans decades. Older neighborhoods near downtown and along the Guadalupe River corridor include homes from the 1920s through the 1960s, many on pier-and-beam foundations. Newer subdivisions on the city's north and west edges, including areas near Texas A&M University-Victoria, tend to use concrete slab construction with brick veneer exteriors. Riverside Park along the Guadalupe River and The Texas Zoo are two of the most recognized landmarks in the city. Across all of these neighborhoods and corridors, the combination of heavy clay soil and South Texas heat means concrete flatwork - driveways, sidewalks, patios - cracks and settles more frequently than in areas with stable sandy soil. Victoria Concrete Company works across every part of Victoria and understands the soil and drainage conditions neighborhood by neighborhood.
