New Home Foundation Construction
Serving Texarkana & Surrounding Areas
Foundation Design That Protects Your Investment
Engineering-first planning for long-term performance
Silva’s Concrete LLC begins every project with a comprehensive site evaluation and plan review to ensure your foundation supports your home for decades. We coordinate geotechnical testing as needed, analyze soil bearing capacity, and establish design criteria that align with structural plans and building codes. From slabs-on-grade and post-tensioned systems to pier-and-beam and crawlspace configurations, we recommend the best approach based on soil conditions, architectural goals, and budget.
Our detailed design package addresses reinforcement schedules, concrete mix specifications, vapor barriers, capillary breaks, insulation, and load paths. We plan drainage and elevation benchmarks, anchor bolt layouts, embed locations, and control joint strategy. By resolving critical details before breaking ground, we minimize risk, control costs, and deliver superior performance.
Quality materials, equipment, and workmanship
Our crews execute precise layout, excavation, and formwork to establish accurate elevations and square, true geometry. We install footings and grade beams to specified dimensions, place reinforcing steel or post-tension cables with correct cover, and set moisture/vapor barriers and insulation where specified. All penetrations and sleeves for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems are coordinated to prevent slab compromise.
During the pour, we use the specified concrete mix design, monitor placement and consolidation, and finish the slab to the required flatness and texture. Curing is managed to enhance strength and reduce cracking. We saw-cut control joints at the right time and spacing, install anchor bolts and hold-downs per plan, and complete perimeter drainage and backfill to protect the foundation for the life of the home.
Transparent process, clear timelines, and guarantees
You will receive a clear schedule that outlines each milestone: survey and layout, excavation, reinforcement and embeds, inspections, concrete placement, curing, and post-pour work. We coordinate all required permits and inspections and provide proactive updates so you always know what’s next.
Quality control is integrated at every step. We verify reinforcement placement, confirm slab thickness and beam depths, and conduct on-site checks such as slump and temperature readings. If required, we arrange concrete cylinder breaks and maintain documentation for your records. Our foreman and project manager are available throughout the build to answer questions and address changes.
After completion, we perform a final walkthrough to review elevations, finish quality, and drainage. You receive care and maintenance guidance, including recommended watering practices, landscaping setbacks, and expansion joint monitoring. Silva’s Concrete LLC stands behind our work with strong workmanship warranties and responsive post-project support.

Local Conditions We Build For
Foundations tailored to regional climate and soils
In Texarkana, soil profiles can include moisture-sensitive clays that expand and contract with seasonal changes. We counter these movements through proper site preparation, engineered footings, moisture management beneath the slab, and, when appropriate, post-tensioned or pier-supported systems designed for the site’s geotechnical findings.
Rainfall intensity and drainage patterns in Texarkana make water management essential. We set finished floor elevations strategically, shape the lot for positive runoff, and incorporate swales, perimeter drains, and downspout extensions to direct water away from the foundation, reducing differential settlement and long-term maintenance risks.
Seasonal temperature swings in Texarkana influence curing practices, joint timing, and material choices. We adjust pour schedules, curing methods, and mix designs to local conditions, helping your foundation reach target strength while minimizing cracking so your new home starts on a stable, durable base.
