Serving Big Spring, TX and surrounding areas. (432) 263-5443
Big Spring Advanced Concrete serves Odessa and Ector County with concrete driveways, parking lots, slab foundations, and retaining walls. We have worked throughout the Permian Basin since 2015 and know the caliche soil, the clay, and what the West Texas climate does to concrete year after year.
Odessa has significant commercial and industrial activity along its major corridors, and those properties need heavy-duty concrete surfaces that hold up under oilfield trucks and daily traffic. We build and repair concrete parking lots for Odessa businesses that can take the load without cracking in the heat.
A large share of Odessa homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and the original driveways on those properties are overdue for replacement. We pour new driveways with proper thickness and subgrade prep to handle the clay soil movement common throughout Ector County.
Concrete slabs are the standard foundation across West Texas because the flat terrain and expansive clay soils make basements impractical. We pour slab foundations for Odessa new builds and additions with the control joints and subgrade preparation that this soil demands.
Odessa homes built on expansive clay frequently develop uneven slabs after years of shrink-swell soil movement. Foundation raising levels settled slabs and stops the interior damage - sticking doors, widening cracks - that follows when the problem goes unaddressed.
While Odessa is generally flat, grading challenges around commercial properties, driveways, and commercial developments along I-20 regularly require retaining structures. Concrete retaining walls hold soil in place and prevent erosion on properties where the grade changes at the lot boundary.
Odessa's oilfield and industrial businesses need concrete floors in warehouses, shops, and equipment bays that can take chemical spills, heavy equipment, and daily abuse. We install commercial and residential interior concrete floors built for the demands of Permian Basin operations.
Odessa sits on the flat Permian Basin landscape where the soil is a combination of caliche and expansive clay. Caliche - a hard calcium-carbonate layer found just inches below the surface in many parts of Ector County - makes excavation slower and more expensive if a contractor is not prepared for it. Below the caliche, the clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, and in a climate that swings between prolonged droughts and sudden rainstorms, that movement is constant. It is what cracks driveways, shifts fence posts, and causes slabs to settle unevenly over time.
Odessa summers regularly push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which accelerates concrete curing in ways that can weaken the surface if the crew is not managing conditions carefully. The intense UV exposure and heat also break down sealers and curing compounds faster than in milder climates. Add the persistent West Texas wind carrying abrasive sand across open lots, and the demands on concrete work here are meaningfully different from other parts of the state. A contractor who understands Odessa specifically - its soil, its climate, its building stock - will produce work that lasts longer.
Our crew works throughout Odessa regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The mix of mid-century ranch-style homes across Odessa neighborhoods means we frequently work on properties where the original driveways and sidewalks are several decades old and the caliche layer below them has made the existing concrete hard to cut out and replace without the right saw and equipment. We come prepared for that, and we do not charge extra when conditions match what we already know about Ector County soil.
Interstate 20 runs through Odessa, connecting it east toward Midland and the surrounding area, and we travel it regularly to reach job sites across the city. From neighborhoods near the University of Texas Permian Basin on the east side to the commercial corridors along the main arterials, we cover all of Odessa. We also regularly serve Andrews to the north and the broader Permian Basin communities, so if you have a project on the edge of the city or just outside it, we can help.
Reach us by phone at (432) 263-5443 or through the contact form. We reply within one business day and often the same day for calls.
We come to your Odessa property, measure the job, check drainage and soil conditions, and give you a written estimate at no charge. The estimate covers caliche removal, subgrade prep, and all materials - no surprises after you approve.
We handle permits where required, complete subgrade preparation, and pour on the scheduled date. Most residential jobs in Odessa are finished in one to three days depending on scope.
Before we leave, we walk through the finished work with you and explain how to care for the new concrete during the cure period, including how to protect it from Odessa summer heat in the first week.
We serve Odessa and Ector County. No pressure, no obligation - just a written estimate and straight answers about your project.
(432) 263-5443Odessa is the county seat of Ector County, with a population of over 100,000 people and a history closely tied to the Permian Basin oil industry. The city grew in rapid spurts during oil booms, particularly in the 1950s through 1970s, which is when the majority of its residential neighborhoods were developed. Most homes are single-story brick ranch houses on modest lots - a building style chosen for the hot, dry, and windy West Texas climate. Odessa is one half of the Midland-Odessa metropolitan area, and while the two cities are roughly 20 miles apart, they share an economy and a labor force.
The city is home to Permian High School, whose football program was made famous nationally by the book and film "Friday Night Lights," and the University of Texas Permian Basin, which serves the region's students and workforce. The flat, open terrain of the Llano Estacado means properties here get the full force of West Texas weather with no natural windbreak. We are proud to serve Odessa homeowners and businesses, and we also cover neighboring Midland just to the east, so whether your project is in Odessa proper or nearby, we can be there.
