Columbia concrete, starting with the ground under it
We're based in Columbia and work across Maury County and the cities around it, including Spring Hill, Franklin, Thompson's Station, Lewisburg and Pulaski. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios and steps, and builders call us for footings and slabs.
I framed houses for years, and too many sat on slabs that weren't square, so I switched to concrete to fix it where it starts. So I'll spend an extra hour on grade and forms rather than leave you a problem that was cheap to avoid. There's more about us.

Concrete work around Columbia, TN
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway starts with digging out and packing the base, because a slab rests on what's under it. We form, pour and broom-finish it so tires and shoes get grip.
Explore Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
Patio slabs off the back of the house, sloped so rain runs toward the yard and not toward your foundation. Good when grass or old pavers have worn out.
Explore Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still soft, so a patio or walk can look like stone, brick or slate without separate pieces that shift.
Explore Stamped concrete servicesConcrete sidewalk building
Walks from the driveway to the door or around the house. When yours has heaved into a trip edge or holds puddles, we replace it.
Explore Concrete sidewalk buildingGarage floor concrete
A new or replaced garage slab, poured thick enough for cars and set so water from wet tires drains out the door instead of pooling.

Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns for concrete you look at every day. We talk through what fits the house before anything gets mixed.
Explore Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
Poured walls hold back a slope so a yard, driveway or patio can sit flat. They need drainage behind them, or the water pushes the wall.

Interior slabs for basements, shops, barns and commercial spaces, poured flat and finished smooth for whatever goes on top of them next.
Explore Concrete floor installationConcrete pool decks
The deck around a pool has to drain away from the water and stay grippy when wet. We plan the slope and texture before the forms go up.
Explore Concrete pool decksConcrete steps construction
Front and back steps formed to even rises, so nobody catches a toe. Worth replacing when the old ones have cracked, settled or pulled from the house.
Explore Concrete steps constructionSlab foundation building
A slab foundation is the floor and base of a building in one pour. I framed on enough crooked ones to want ours square and level.
Explore Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
Foundation walls for new homes, additions and garages, set to the plans so the framing crew isn't shimming around somebody's mistakes.
Explore Foundation installationConcrete parking lot building
Concrete lots and drive lanes for businesses and apartment properties, built on a packed base with rebar, steel that ties the slab together.
Explore Concrete parking lot buildingConcrete footings
Footings are the concrete under walls and posts that spreads a building's weight into firm ground. Builders call us for them, and so do homeowners adding on.
Explore Concrete footingsFoundation raising
When a slab or porch has sunk and tilted, raising it can bring it back up without a tear-out. We'll say so if replacing makes more sense.
Explore Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
Saw cutting for new doorways, plumbing trenches and taking out a damaged section, plus cutting control joints in new slabs.

Concrete questions we hear in Columbia
How much does a new concrete driveway or patio cost in Columbia, TN?
It depends on the size, the base work your ground needs, truck access and the finish you choose. Stamped or colored concrete costs more than a plain broom finish, and if money's tight I'd trim the finish, not the base. I'll price your job when I come out.
How long will I be without my driveway after the pour?
You'll be back on it on foot well before you can park on it, because fresh concrete has to cure, slowly hardening and gaining strength. Heat, cold and rain all move the dates, so I'll tell you what to expect for your slab before we pour.
Will my new concrete crack like the old driveway did?
It can still crack, since concrete shrinks as it dries, but it shouldn't sink or split the way a poorly built one does. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, and we cut control joints on time, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to go.
Do I need a permit to pour concrete in Columbia, TN?
It depends on the job. The city's online permitting portal lists retaining walls and swimming pools among the permits Development Services takes, but it doesn't name driveways or patios, so that's the office to ask. We find out which office covers your address before we schedule and either handle the permit or tell you plainly what to file.
