Concrete driveways, patios & slabs

Concrete only looks good for as long as the ground under it holds. We spend the time on base prep, forming and reinforcement so your driveway, patio or slab stays flat and solid for years.

Concrete

Good concrete is mostly what you don't see

Anyone can pour concrete. What decides whether it lasts is the work that happens before the truck shows up: how the ground is prepared, how the forms are set, how water is directed away, and where the joints go.

Sandhills soil is sandy and drains fast, but it can also shift and wash if it isn't compacted and graded properly. We prepare the base for the soil we're actually building on, not a one-size-fits-all spec.

Whether it's a new driveway, a patio off the back door, or a slab for a shed or garage, we'll walk the site, talk through thickness and finish, and give you a clear estimate.

What we do

Residential concrete work

From a new walkway to replacing a cracked-up driveway, these are the concrete projects we handle.

Concrete driveways

New driveways, extensions and parking pads, sized and reinforced for the vehicles that will use them.

Patios

Back patios and outdoor living areas, finished to suit how you'll use the space and sloped to shed water.

Walkways & sidewalks

Front walks, side paths and connections between the driveway, porch and backyard.

Slabs & pads

Slabs for sheds, workshops, carports, HVAC equipment and generators.

Foundation & slab work

Slab-on-grade and footing work for additions and outbuildings, built to the plans and inspections the project requires.

Tear-out & replacement

Breaking out and hauling off failed concrete, correcting the base underneath, and pouring new.

Worth knowing

What makes concrete last

If you're comparing estimates, these are the questions worth asking every contractor.

Base preparationThe subgrade is cleared of roots and organic material, then compacted. Where it's needed, we add and compact a gravel base so the slab has uniform support.
ThicknessFour inches is common for walks and patios, and for driveways that see passenger vehicles. Areas that see heavy trucks, trailers or equipment should be thicker — we'll recommend what fits.
ReinforcementRebar, wire mesh or fiber reinforcement, depending on the use and the size of the pour, helps control cracking and keeps pieces together.
Control jointsConcrete shrinks as it cures. Properly spaced joints give it a place to crack in a straight line instead of randomly across the slab.
Drainage & slopeEvery flat surface needs a slight fall so water runs off and away from the house, not toward the foundation or garage.
CuringConcrete gains strength over weeks, not hours. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk on, drive on, and seal.

Process

Our concrete process, start to finish

You'll know what's happening and what comes next at every stage.

Consultation
We talk through what you want, how it'll be used, and any access or timing concerns.
Site evaluation
We look at the soil, drainage, grade, tree roots and anything that needs to come out first.
Measurements
We measure the area, check elevations, and confirm the layout with you before pricing.
Preparation
Excavation, removal of old material, grading, and compaction of the subgrade and base.
Formwork
Forms are set to the right lines and elevations, with slope built in for drainage.
Reinforcement where needed
Rebar, mesh or fiber is placed based on the slab's use and size.
Concrete placement
The concrete is placed, screeded and leveled while it's workable.
Finishing
Floating, edging, control joints and the final surface — broom finish or the finish you've chosen.
Cleanup
Forms come off, the edges are backfilled, and the site is cleaned up. You get curing instructions before we leave.

FAQ

Concrete questions, answered

Don't see your question? Ask us directly — we're happy to talk it through.

How thick should a concrete driveway be?

Four inches is typical for driveways that only see passenger cars and pickups. If you park heavy trucks, trailers, RVs or equipment on it, we'll recommend a thicker slab and heavier reinforcement for those areas.

Will my new concrete crack?

All concrete can develop small cracks as it cures and ages. Good base prep, reinforcement and properly placed control joints keep cracks small and in straight lines where they're meant to be, instead of wandering across the slab.

How soon can I walk or drive on new concrete?

Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two. Cars typically wait about a week, and heavier vehicles longer. Weather affects this, so we'll give you specific instructions for your pour.

Can you remove my old driveway or patio?

Yes. We break out and haul off the old concrete, fix whatever caused it to fail — usually the base or drainage — and pour new.

What affects the price of a concrete project?

Square footage, thickness, how much excavation or tear-out is involved, site access for the truck, reinforcement, and the finish you choose. Your estimate breaks this down so you can see where the cost comes from.

Do I need a permit for a driveway or slab?

It depends on the town or county and the project — driveways that connect to a public road and slabs for structures are the most common cases. We'll check before we start and let you know.
