Ira DeLoache bought the first tract in 1924, and he and Al Joyce built out Preston Hollow mostly in the 1930s. It was its own town from 1939 until residents voted to join Dallas in 1945. The name comes from the wooded creeks and hollows west of Preston Road. Lots here are big, many an acre or more, and driveways are long, curved or circular, often with a motor court at the house. We pour them in broom finish, exposed aggregate and stamped concrete. Call (469) 257-3979 to have us walk your lot.
Big driveways take planning
- We map the joints ahead of time so a long or curved slab cracks where we want it to
- Circles and motor courts get a drainage plan, since a big flat slab near the house holds water
- We plan the truck's route so it does not crush the lawn or a sprinkler system
- Big pours get split into sections so the finishers stay ahead of the sun
- Each approach on a circular driveway is permitted and built to the city's rules
Many Preston Hollow homes are 1930s to 1950s ranch houses, and many others are newer houses built after a teardown. Either way, the old driveway usually comes out and a new one goes in.
Finishes people choose here
Exposed aggregate hides tire marks and leaves on a long driveway. Stamped concrete in a cobblestone or slate pattern suits a motor court. Some owners stamp only the border or the area by the front door and keep the long run in broom finish to hold down the cost. The cost guide shows the price gap between finishes.
Call and we will walk the lot with you.
Questions about driveway work in Preston Hollow
- Do you pour driveways for new construction in Preston Hollow?
- Yes. We work with the homeowner or the builder and time the driveway after the heavy trucks are done on the lot.
- How many approaches can a circular driveway have?
- That is up to the city. Dallas reviews each approach on the site plan, so we plan the circle around what the city will allow.
