One of the fastest-growing parts of northwest Harris County, Cypress has a lot of recently poured concrete on large lots — long driveways, extended walkways, and generously sized patios, all exposed to the same clay-influenced soil movement as the rest of the Houston area.
Cypress's larger lots mean more linear feet of driveway and walkway per home than in denser, closer-in neighborhoods — which also means more expansion joints and more slab surface area exposed to seasonal soil movement. Newer subdivisions still settling on fill soil are a common source of uneven driveway and walkway sections here.
