Concrete work for Franklin homeowners
If your driveway is sinking or cracked, your patio holds water, or your steps have pulled away from the house, we'll look at the slab and tell you what's causing it. Usually it's the subgrade, the dirt under the slab, settling because it was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or a slab that falls toward the house so water runs back at it.
We're based in Columbia and work across Maury County and the cities around it, from Spring Hill and Thompson's Station to Franklin and Lewisburg. Size, how much dirt comes out and the finish move the price. Weather and curing, the wait before fresh concrete takes weight, move the schedule. You get your own figure at the estimate.
What we build in Franklin
Get a quoteConcrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk or broken up, we tear it out, pack a new base and pour a slab thick enough for what you park on it.
Concrete patio construction
We pour patios graded so rain runs away from the house, with control joints, shallow cuts that give a crack a straight line to follow.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so it reads like stone or brick without loose pieces that shift.
Concrete sidewalk building
If an old walk has heaved into a trip hazard, we take it out and pour a new one from the door to the driveway.
Garage floor concrete
We break out a cracked or uneven garage floor and pour a new one, with rebar, steel set inside, to keep any crack from pulling apart.
Decorative concrete
Decorative work adds color, exposed stone or a scored pattern to a new slab, for an entry or a patio where plain gray won't do.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard drops off or a slope washes onto the patio, a poured wall holds the dirt back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't push it.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for basements, shops and additions, poured level and finished smooth so flooring or equipment sits flat on top.
Concrete pool decks
The deck around a pool gets a broom finish, light grooves dragged across the top for grip, and a slope that sends splash water away from the house.
Concrete steps construction
When front or back steps have pulled away from the house, we rebuild them at an even height with a footing underneath, usually the part the old ones lacked.
Slab foundation building
For builders and homeowners adding on, we grade, form and pour the slab a house or addition sits on, checked for square before the truck arrives.
Foundation installation
Poured foundation walls for new homes, additions and garages, set on footings and formed straight so the framing crew starts on something true.
Concrete parking lot building
Larger slabs for church, shop and small business lots, poured thicker on a packed base, with joints laid out for trucks as well as cars.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under walls, posts and porches that spread the weight. We dig them down to firm ground before we pour.
Foundation raising
If a slab or a corner of the house has sunk, we find out why first, then lift it back toward level and deal with what let it drop.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for a plumbing trench, a new opening or a clean edge where old meets new, instead of breaking it out with a hammer.

Why Franklin homeowners call us
Base work before the finish
A lot of slabs crack because the dirt under them settled, so we dig out and pack the base before we form. If money's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base.
Permit rules checked first
The city's Building and Neighborhood Services Department issues building permits, and jobs over $25,000 need a state-licensed contractor to pull one. We check, then handle it or tell you what to file.
The owner prices and runs it
I come out and price the job myself, and I'm on site running it while our crew does the work. We're fully licensed and insured, backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
