Concrete work in Houston
We’re a concrete contractor in Houston, MS, and our North Mississippi team drives about 34 miles southwest to work across Chickasaw County. Row crops, cattle, government services, and rural shops shape the concrete work here. The clay under the chert gravel holds water after rain. So we pack the base hard before we pour.

Houston has a courthouse-district commercial block ringed by rural acreage, a mix that still drives the concrete project types we quote here most often.
What kind of concrete work does Houston need?
Chickasaw County slab work breaks roughly into two categories: commercial and civic flatwork near the courthouse district, and working-floor or outbuilding slabs on surrounding farmland and rural lots. Shop floors, equipment-barn pads, driveways on rural acreage, and interior finishes in barndominiums make up the core of what we pour and coat in this area.
Three lanes cover most of what Houston property owners request: pouring new concrete, applying coating systems, and grinding polished interiors. For Chickasaw County work we assess slab use, moisture risk, load requirements, and the finish schedule before quoting the crew sequence.
New concrete pours
Driveways and approaches. Chickasaw County subgrades sit on Coastal Plain chert gravel layered over clay-heavy Pleistocene terrace deposits. That clay layer holds moisture after rain, so subgrade compaction matters more than it does in sandier ground. We compact to depth, pour no leaner than 4,000 PSI, add fiber mesh reinforcement, and place control joints sized to the slab thickness. Driveway details.
Shop and barn slabs. Working buildings are steady Houston-area requests. Equipment storage, cattle handling, and farm-equipment maintenance all land heavier loads than a residential garage. We build in reinforcement, thicken the edges under overhead doors, and lay a moisture vapor barrier on any slab slated for a later coating or polish. Shop slab details.
Patios and flatwork. Residential flatwork in Houston draws from the same soil zone as a driveway; the prep spec matches, and the finish menu is what differs. Patio details.
Concrete finishing
Garage floor coatings. We diamond-grind Houston garage floors to open the surface, then lay the coating system. Residential garages usually take a chip-broadcast finish; shop spaces with chemical exposure fit a polyaspartic topcoat instead. Garage floor coatings.
Polished concrete. Barndominium and shop interiors in Chickasaw County that need a finished look without tile or carpet suit polished concrete well. The gloss is ground into the slab, not applied as a topcoat that can peel. Polished concrete details.
Pour-4-Polish: one crew, start to finish
If you are pouring a new slab in Houston and plan to coat or polish it, you do not need two separate contractors. Pour-4-Polish folds the pour and the finish into one scope: one crew, one workmanship warranty on the completed install, and one point of contact from start to sign-off.
What stone and aggregate does Chickasaw County concrete use?
North Mississippi has no local hard-rock quarry, so ready-mix in this area draws on Coastal Plain chert gravel rather than the crushed limestone common in mid-South metro pours. B & B Concrete Co - Okolona Plant supplies ready-mix to Chickasaw County and sits in Okolona, the other county seat. Because the aggregate is chert-dominant and rounded rather than angular crushed stone, polished floors here tend to read as warm beige cream with scattered tan and rust flecks, a character that responds well to densifier and stain work.
That chert source also raises two practical concerns. First, mix-design consistency between pours can vary more than in hard-rock regions, so when polished-floor color uniformity across multiple pours matters, specifying a single pit upstream helps. Second, the local chert carries an alkali-silica reactivity risk on long-lived flatwork; we specify a minimum w/cm ratio of 0.45 and confirm ASR mitigation before finalizing the mix on exterior slabs.
How much does concrete flooring cost in Houston?
Cost depends on three inputs: square footage, the condition of the existing slab when coating or polishing, and the system specified. Driveways in the Houston area generally run $6.96 to $16.43 per square foot installed. A two-car driveway (about 500 square feet) typically lands at $3,650 to $8,650. The online tool takes those inputs and returns a ballpark before you call anyone.
Our crews are typically 3-6 weeks booked. Mobilization covers 34 miles from our North Mississippi team and is priced into the quote before you commit.
