Concrete
Concrete is a thirty-year decision made in a single afternoon.
01Overview
A slab is only as good as what's underneath it and how it was finished in the hours after the pour. Skip the base prep and you get a driveway that spider-webs in three winters. Rush the finish and you get a surface that holds water.
We pour foundations, reinforced driveways, garage floors and custom walkways. Every job starts with site preparation — grading, compacted base, forms set true and reinforcement placed where the load actually goes.
For driveways and garage floors we pour thick, reinforced slabs designed to carry vehicle weight without sinking or cracking through.
What we can help with
- Reinforced driveways and garage floor slabs
- Foundations and footings
- Poured walkways, landings and stoops
- Replacing cracked or sunken concrete
- Site preparation, grading and compacted base
- Patios and paved transitions to landscaping
- Steps and retaining wall footings
02Why JT'S for this work
Base prep gets the time it needs
Compaction and grade are what stop a slab from settling. That work happens before anyone talks about pour day.
Reinforced for the real load
Driveways and garage floors get thickness and reinforcement sized for vehicles — not the minimum that looks the same on day one.
Drainage considered
Slabs get pitched so water runs away from the house instead of standing against the foundation.
03What the process looks like
Concrete, step by step.
- 01
Survey the site
We check grade, drainage and access, and confirm where the concrete needs to shed water.
- 02
Demo and prep
Old concrete is removed, the base is graded and compacted, and forms go in.
- 03
Reinforce and pour
Rebar or mesh is set, then the pour happens in one continuous run where possible.
- 04
Finish and cure
Surface is finished, control joints are cut, and we tell you exactly when it can take traffic.
05Questions
Concrete FAQs
Something not covered here? Call (721) 841-9464 and ask.
How long before I can park on a new driveway?
Concrete is walkable within a day or two but shouldn't take vehicle weight for about a week. We give you the exact window for your pour and the weather it cured in.
My driveway is cracked — can it be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Surface cracks can be sealed. Cracking that runs through the slab, or sections that have sunk, usually means the base failed, and patching the top won't fix what's underneath.
Why do you cut grooves in the new concrete?
Those are control joints. Concrete shrinks as it cures and will crack somewhere — joints decide where, so it happens in a straight line instead of across the middle.
Can concrete work be combined with landscaping?
Yes, and it usually should be. Walkways, patios, steps and retaining wall footings get planned together so the grades and drainage line up.
