Concrete work we do in Auburn
Concrete driveway building
When an old driveway is cracked or sinking, we tear it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and slope it away from the house.
Explore Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
A patio gives you a level place to sit outside. We set its slope so rain runs off instead of pooling against the house.
Explore Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, a common choice for patios, walks and pool decks.

Sidewalks and front walks fall under flatwork, our word for slabs that lie flat on the ground. We replace broken or uneven sections and pour new paths.

A garage floor takes car weight every day, so we pack the base firmly and add rebar, steel bars that help hold the slab together.

Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone, scored patterns and special finishes on new slabs, for anyone who wants a patio or walk to match the house.
Explore Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
Retaining walls hold back sloped ground. We set them on a solid footing and let water drain out behind them, since trapped water is what pushes walls over.

We pour interior floors for shops, sheds, workrooms and commercial spaces, finished smooth and level so you can seal, stain or cover them later.

Pool decks stay wet, so we give them a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives bare feet grip, and slope them so water drains off.

Cracked or crumbling steps at the front door or back porch are a trip hazard, so we tear them out and form new ones with even, comfortable rises.

A slab foundation is the concrete floor a house, addition or shop sits on. It's the job where the subgrade, the packed ground beneath it, matters most.
Explore Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
We lay out and pour foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings to the plans, so the framer starts on something square and level.

Business owners call us for parking lots and pads that stand up to daily traffic, with drainage planned before the pour and heavier sections where trucks turn.

Footings are the concrete strips or pads under walls, porches, decks and columns that spread the weight into the ground. We dig down to firm ground before we pour.
Explore Concrete footingsFoundation raising
When a slab or foundation has settled and left floors uneven or walls cracked, raising it lifts the low side back toward level from underneath.
Explore Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
Concrete cutting covers clean saw cuts for new doorways, plumbing trenches, removed sections and control joints, the shallow grooves that tell a slab where to crack.

Questions about concrete in Auburn
What affects the cost of a concrete driveway or patio in Auburn, AL?
The slab's size, whether old concrete has to come out and the ground work under it move the price most, then thickness, rebar and finish, since stamped or colored concrete costs more than a plain broom finish. The schedule turns on weather, any city steps and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before you use it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Any concrete can crack, but a firmly packed base and control joints cut on time make random cracks far less likely. Old slabs usually sink and break because the base was only raked level, so that's where we put our care. If the budget is tight, I'd rather trim the finish than the base.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Auburn, AL?
It depends on the job, so we find out early what the city or county wants before work starts. In Auburn, the Codes department issues building permits, and the city's permit list is a good place to check. We handle the paperwork for our part of the work or show you what to file.
Does a concrete contractor need a business license in Auburn, AL?
Yes, any company or person doing business in Auburn needs a City of Auburn business license before starting work, and it's renewed every year. Everyone working on a job site should either work for a licensed contractor or hold an Auburn contractor business license, so it's fair to ask. We're licensed and fully insured.
