Vivian's small-town lots in north Caddo Parish sit on wet clay near the lakes, and that means your driveway, carport slab, and walkways are always working against the ground beneath them. Shreveport Concrete Pros knows this terrain, and we've spent years repairing and rebuilding concrete flatwork across Vivian (71082) and the Shreveport area.
Whether your older driveway is cracking and settling, your carport slab has heaved unevenly, or you need a new sidewalk that will hold up through our wet springs and dry summers, our team handles the job right.
Concrete in Vivian (71082)
Vivian's terrain is classic north Caddo Parish: gently rolling ground with clay soils that shrink when dry and swell when wet. Your property likely sits on Red River alluvium or upland clay, which means concrete flatwork faces real movement. Long, hot, dry summers pull moisture from the ground and open cracks at joints and tree roots. Then 50-plus inches of yearly rain soak back in, the earth swells, and slabs heave and settle. Older homes in the area often have ribbon driveways and carport slabs that have been working against this cycle for decades. Newer builds on slab-on-grade foundations face the same challenge. We see a lot of cracked, spalling concrete, sunken slabs that create trip hazards, and driveways settling before they worsen into bigger problems.
Our team has repaired and rebuilt driveways, patios, carport slabs, sidewalks, and foundations throughout Vivian and the surrounding Shreveport area. We understand how the ground moves here, and we build concrete that lasts.

How a Job Works in Vivian
We start with a free on-site assessment. One of our crew will come to your property, look at the concrete, check the drainage and grade, and talk through what's happening. If it's a repair, we'll explain whether we can level and resurface or if removal and replacement makes more sense. If it's new work, a driveway or patio, we'll measure the area, discuss finish options, and give you a clear estimate.
Then we schedule the work. Most Vivian properties have good access, but if your lot is tight or your driveway sits at an awkward grade, we plan the job so we can get equipment in and out cleanly. We handle any local permits you'll need (Vivian and Caddo Parish have setback and width rules for driveways and sidewalks, and curb-cut permits if you're near the road). We show up on time, do the work, and keep your property clean as we go.
When we're done, we walk through with you, answer your questions, and leave the site clean. New concrete needs time to cure, and we'll tell you exactly when you can drive or walk on it.
Pricing depends on the size of the job, what we find when we dig or strip, how easy it is to access your property, and how soon you need it done. A new concrete driveway in Vivian typically runs from $6 per square foot, so a 400-square-foot driveway would be roughly $2,400 before any site prep or special finishes. Concrete repair and resurfacing, which is very common here because of ground movement, starts at $3 per square foot. A carport slab or garage floor runs $5 to $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes cost more, starting around $10 per square foot. Sealing your concrete to protect it from our wet springs and hard freezes is $0.75 per square foot and adds years to the life of the work. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (318) 924-3349 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess, and give you a real number.
