The straight answer

A concrete contractor in Paloma Creek, TX works on unincorporated Denton County land inside the Little Elm ETJ. No city building department exists here: the county issues development permits, water districts look after the streets, and the HOA's Modifications Committee signs off on patios. Reinforced flatwork from us runs $7 to $12 per sq ft, with a free estimate.

Paloma Creek at a glance

Paloma Creek and Paloma Creek South are unincorporated Denton County communities in the Little Elm ETJ, about a 24-minute drive from The Colony, near Paloma Creek Elementary and the Paloma Creek Dog Park. We also pour in nearby Savannah, Little Elm and Hackberry.

Burleson clay and Wilson clay loam lie north of US 380, while Paloma Creek South has Ferris-Heiden clay at a 17% shrink-swell value on its slopes. FEMA puts 7% to 10% of sample points in Zone AE near the lake inlets and Doe Branch.

Three Groups With a Say Over a Concrete Contractor in Paloma Creek

In a city, the building department takes these questions. Here the answers come from three different places.

The HOA. The Paloma Creek HOA's modifications page says exterior changes need Modifications Committee approval before the project begins, and patios are among the examples it names. The committee has 30 days to decide, turnaround runs about two weeks, and the $25 application fee is waived. That approval goes first on our schedule.

Denton County. County GIS places every sample point in both communities outside any city limit. Denton County Development Services says any development in unincorporated Denton County takes a Development Permit, and its definition of development includes "paving." Check with Development Services on whether yours needs one. The fee schedule lists $100 outside the floodplain and $250 inside it.

The water districts. Five Fresh Water Supply Districts provide water, sewer, storm drainage and paving infrastructure, and the DCFWSD 8-B page says that district is responsible for roadway and drainage. If your work reaches the street, the curb or a drainage inlet, call the districts' customer service first.

District Streets, Not County Roads

On the county's maintained-roads map, no county road segments fall inside the Paloma Creek CDP. In Paloma Creek South the one active segment is Salt Branch Rd, a gravel road, while Navo Rd, Rosson Rd and Gammon Rd are flagged inactive. For a home on Flamingo Drive, Spoonbill Drive or Megan Creek Drive, then, the county culvert permit that applies to new driveways on county roads is not in play. The street belongs to a district.

Road repair is an annual program the districts run themselves. Their July 17, 2026 notice describes removing and replacing damaged roadway panels on South Paloma Creek Boulevard from US 380 south, along with panel replacement in the 1100 block of Lake Woodland. If a street panel cracks at the end of your driveway, report it to the districts instead of folding it into your job.

Ask the districts' customer service who approves a new or widened curb cut onto a district street before we set forms. We build the on-lot concrete driveway and match it to the existing approach.

Burleson and Wilson Clay North of US 380, Heiden to the South

The two halves sit on different ground. In a 30-point NRCS sample of Paloma Creek CDP, Burleson clay and Wilson clay loam each took 27% of the points, Callisburg soils and Navo clay loam took 20% each, and Lewisville clay loam took 7%. Burleson's shrink-swell (linear extensibility) value is 7.5% at the surface, and Burleson, Wilson and Navo all rate "Very limited" for dwellings without basements.

Farther south the soil is heavier. Wilson clay loam covers half of its sample points, Burleson 17%, and Ferris-Heiden clay on 5 to 15% slopes 13%, with a shrink-swell value of 17%. Heiden runs about 12% and Branyon 9.9 to 13%. Under NRCS's Texas interpretation, all three rate "Very limited" for slabs.

A patio two subdivisions over can call for a different base and joint plan. On the Ferris-Heiden slopes, drainage and the joint where the slab meets the house get our attention. Our clay soil guide explains what those numbers do to a slab.

Lake Lewisville Inlets, Doe Branch and the Flood Map

The HOA describes the community as nearly 1,500 acres of wooded land along the shores of Lake Lewisville, and DCFWSD 8-A, south of US 380, has an inlet of the lake on its western border. Census hydrography lists Doe Branch inside Paloma Creek South.

On FEMA's map, 77% of the Paloma Creek CDP sample points sit in minimal-hazard Zone X, 13% in the 0.2% annual chance zone and 7% in Zone AE. Paloma Creek South came to 80% Zone X, 10% Zone AE and 7% in the 0.2% zone. Those are a minority of lots, but the rules still bite: the county requires a permit for excavation or filling in a flood zone, charges the higher $250 permit fee inside the floodplain, and asks for a finished-floor elevation certificate from a Texas registered surveyor, engineer or architect for a structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Before you plan a slab near a creek or the lake inlet, look up your address on the FEMA map. When a lot backs onto green space such as Cactus Bend Open Space, we also check where its runoff crosses your yard. A concrete contractor in Paloma Creek should know the flood status before the first stake goes in.

Builder Slabs From 2006 to 2012 and What They Need Now

Census ACS figures give a median year built of 2006 for Paloma Creek CDP and 2012 for Paloma Creek South. A decade or more of clay swelling and shrinking has passed under the original walks and patios of those homes.

Jobs we price at homes this age include a back patio that has tipped toward the house, a driveway widened for a third car, a new walk along the side yard, or a pad for a shed or hot tub. For new homes, the county's 2010 resolution requires three third-party inspections, including a foundation inspection before concrete is placed, and our concrete foundations page covers that work.

A site plan helps on every one of these jobs. The county's permit application asks for proposed and existing improvements and their distance to at least two property lines, plus any septic systems. For the Modifications Committee, our HOA approval guide explains what to send. Either way, a concrete contractor in Paloma Creek lines up the county, the districts and the HOA before the pour.

Common Questions

Is there a city permit office here?
No. Denton County GIS puts both communities outside every city limit, inside the Little Elm ETJ. Development permits come from Denton County Development Services, which counts paving as development. The county takes applications through its Civic Access portal, and we help assemble the site plan.
How long does the HOA take to approve a patio in Paloma Creek?
According to the HOA's modifications page, the Modifications Committee has 30 days to decide, and turnaround runs about two weeks. Approval is required before the project begins, patios are named among the examples, and the $25 application fee is waived. We prepare drawings and finish details for you to attach to the request.
Who fixes the street panel in front of my driveway?
The paving and drainage belong to the Fresh Water Supply Districts, not the county, and the county's road map shows no county-maintained segments inside Paloma Creek CDP. Their annual road repair program replaces damaged roadway panels, so report the panel to their customer service, and ask about any curb cut change before a widening.
Is the soil in Paloma Creek South worse for a patio than the north side?
Parts of it are heavier. The southern sample included Ferris-Heiden clay on 5 to 15% slopes at a 17% shrink-swell value, plus Heiden and Branyon, all rated "Very limited" for slabs. North of US 380 the sample was mostly Burleson clay and Wilson clay loam. Either side needs a proper base and joints, and the southern slopes get extra drainage attention.
Does a lot near the lake inlet need anything extra for a concrete contractor in Paloma Creek?
Yes, if any part of the work falls in a FEMA flood zone. The county requires a permit for excavation or filling there, charges $250 instead of $100 for a residential development permit, and wants a finished-floor elevation certificate for a structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Between 7% and 10% of sample points landed in Zone AE, so check your address on the FEMA map.
Which building code applies to a new structure on my lot?
Denton County's 2010 resolution has new homes in unincorporated areas follow either the IRC published as of May 1, 2008 or the IRC used by the City of Denton, and where a city has adopted a building code for its ETJ, that city's code controls. This area is in the Little Elm ETJ, so ask the county which code applies to your plan.
