Network status in Katy: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.
How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Driveway.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a job brief
- ZIP code and matched town
- Service type and timing
- Property type
- Current surface and what the homeowner wants done
- Rough size and slope
- Issues: cracks, potholes, sinking, drainage, roots, apron, HOA
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided
- Contact details and consent to be contacted
The Katy market: what jobs look like
Katy is part of the Houston area; these notes apply across it.
Common job drivers
- Expansive clay soil moves slabs; base preparation, reinforcement, and control joints matter.
- Heavy rain makes drainage and slope away from the house important.
- Tree roots lift and crack slabs and sidewalks.
- Driveway approaches in the public right-of-way follow city rules.
Area context
The Houston area spreads across city neighborhoods, unincorporated Harris County, and master-planned communities in neighboring counties. Which government issues a permit, or whether an HOA has a say, can change from one street to the next.
Before any digging: Excavating for a new or wider driveway means underground utilities have to be located first. In Texas that request goes through Texas 811, or dial 811. Ask any operator whether they place the locate request before work starts.

What Katy homeowners ask about
From our homeowner guide for Katy.
Is there a driveway contractor in Katy on Driveway.co yet?
Not yet. The network is new and no operator covers Katy today. You can still send a job brief: we'll try to connect you with an operator who can quote it, and tell you honestly if we can't.
Why does my Houston driveway crack?
Often because clay soil underneath moves with wet and dry cycles, plus roots and heavy loads. Joints are meant to control where cracks happen. Ask a contractor whether yours is cosmetic or structural.
Pricing and fees
Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.
Joining the network in Katy
Can I get job requests from Katy through Driveway.co?
That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Katy job briefs to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.
Do I need an office in Katy?
No. You need to actually serve Katy or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.
Who pays?
Homeowners don't pay to request quotes. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.
What kinds of jobs come through?
Residential and light commercial requests for asphalt and concrete driveways, repairs, and sealcoating. You choose which services and areas.
