Fee lines, highway access and the base
That line comes from Ordinance O-17-2025, in effect since October 1, 2025, but the City's pages don't say which jobs it covers. Whether a new drive, a same-size replacement or a widening needs a permit is a question for Community Development before the old concrete comes out. A drive onto a state highway such as Texas 317 is TxDOT's business too: its Form 1058 access permit comes from the district office, applied for by the owner or an authorized representative, and right-of-way work waits until the signed permit is back.
On expansive soils, crushed rock 2 to 8 inches deep can serve as subgrade material, depending on how expansive the ground is, one published guide says; soft spots come out first and are replaced with good material.
For a pattern, see stamped concrete in McGregor; a cracked drive that's otherwise sound may only need repair work; our McGregor page lists the rest.

Steel, soil and tear-out questions
What are the differences between steel mesh and rebar in concrete?
Mostly thickness and use. In one published guide, drives 4 to 5 inches thick get wire mesh, while ½-inch (#4) rebar goes into those of 5 inches or more, set in a grid about 12 inches apart. Neither prevents cracks: in NRMCA's words, "Mesh tends to keep the cracks and joints from opening up," and steel wants at least 2 inches of concrete cover. National figures for 2026 put mesh at $0.15 to $0.30 a square foot and rebar at $0.30 to $0.50 a linear foot.
What does the county soil survey say about driveways on Crawford and Purves soils?
It rates both "Very limited" for concrete driveways and sidewalks: Crawford silty clay for high shrink-swell, with depth to hard bedrock as a second reason, and Purves clay for depth to hard bedrock and high shrink-swell. Of that rating, NRCS says: "The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected." McGregor sits in the 1992 survey's Crawford-Purves unit.
What does tearing out an old drive add to the bill?
A typical national figure for 2026 is approximately $1.00 a square foot for tearing out and removing an existing driveway, before any new concrete goes in.
