Decorative Concrete of Austin serves homeowners and businesses throughout North Burnet, one of North Austin’s most rapidly transforming districts. North Burnet is located in the 78758 zip code, anchored by Burnet Road and bounded roughly by Braker Lane to the south, the MoPac corridor to the west, and the Domain district to the north. The area is the focus of the City of Austin’s North Burnet/Gateway redevelopment plan, which has been reshaping it from a mid-century light industrial corridor into a mixed-use district with new residential, retail, and commercial construction sitting alongside the original 1960s and 1970s buildings.

This mix of property ages and uses makes North Burnet one of the more varied corridors we serve. Our decorative concrete services here include polished and stained interior floors, epoxy and polyaspartic garage floor coatings, decorative patios, commercial concrete floors, and driveway resurfacing. We have been serving this corridor since 2012 and are fully insured.

Polished concrete floors are particularly relevant in North Burnet because of the mix of older industrial-era slabs and newer high-spec commercial floors in the area. Older buildings often have thick, high-quality concrete slabs that polish beautifully once existing flooring is removed. Newer mixed-use developments specify polished concrete from the design phase for both retail and residential lofts, and we work with both property types.

Stained concrete floors suit the contemporary and industrial-modern interiors common in North Burnet’s newer residential conversions and ground-floor retail spaces. Acid stain produces depth and variation that complements exposed-aggregate finishes and modern fixtures. Our stained concrete cost guide covers the key pricing variables so you can plan your budget before the estimate.

Epoxy and polyaspartic garage floor coatings are in demand across North Burnet’s mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and small commercial bays. Polyaspartic systems are particularly useful in the corridor’s small auto shops, service businesses, and mixed-use buildings where chemical resistance and easy cleanup matter as much as appearance. Residential garages in the area benefit from the same systems with chip or flake finishes for a more decorative look.

Outdoor concrete patios and driveway resurfacing round out residential project types in North Burnet. We also handle commercial concrete flooring for retail buildouts, restaurants, and office conversions, which are increasingly common in the corridor as the redevelopment continues.

North Burnet/Gateway District Considerations

North Burnet falls within the City of Austin’s North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan, which establishes specific zoning, building, and aesthetic standards for the corridor’s redevelopment. The plan affects new construction and major renovations more than typical concrete refinishing work, but property owners considering substantial exterior changes should be aware of the regulating plan’s design standards.

Most interior concrete refinishing projects (polished floors, stained slabs, epoxy coatings) do not trigger regulating plan review. Exterior work that’s visible from the right-of-way may have additional design considerations, particularly for commercial properties. We can flag any project elements that might intersect with the regulating plan during the estimate.

City of Austin Permit Requirements in North Burnet

North Burnet is fully within City of Austin jurisdiction. Ground-level concrete patios that stay within property setbacks and are detached from the home structure typically do not require a building permit. Commercial concrete work, structural attachments, and any project that affects accessibility paths often does require permits and inspections. Driveway connections to public streets require a driveway approach permit from the City of Austin Transportation Department. Our Austin concrete permit guide covers these rules in detail, including the impervious cover limits that apply to lots in this corridor.

Local Conditions in North Burnet

North Burnet sits on the same expansive clay soil profile common across central and northern Austin. The flat terrain through most of the corridor is favorable for slab work and patio pours, with straightforward site access on most properties. Older industrial-era buildings sometimes have thicker, more heavily reinforced slabs than typical residential construction, which affects how grinding and polishing work is approached.

The mixed-use nature of the corridor also affects scheduling. Properties with adjacent commercial activity may have parking, access, or noise considerations that shape when work can happen. We coordinate with property managers and adjacent businesses on commercial and mixed-use projects to minimize disruption. For interior residential work in townhomes and condos, we follow building rules on access hours and elevator use where they apply.

Polished concrete and acid-stained concrete both work well across North Burnet’s mix of older industrial-era buildings and newer mixed-use construction. Older slabs in the corridor often polish exceptionally well due to the quality of mid-century commercial concrete. Newer residential conversions can take either finish system. We assess each slab during the estimate before recommending a system.

Yes. We install polished concrete, epoxy, polyaspartic, and overlay systems for retail, restaurant, office, and light industrial spaces in North Burnet. The corridor’s ongoing redevelopment has driven steady demand for commercial concrete work as new businesses open and older buildings get repositioned. We provide certificates of insurance on request.

A polyaspartic-topcoated system or full polyaspartic coating is the recommended choice for North Burnet garages. The polyaspartic topcoat handles UV exposure, resists hot tire pickup in Austin summer heat, and provides a durable surface that holds up to daily vehicle traffic. The same system works for small commercial bays in the corridor’s mixed-use buildings.
