What we do most

Concrete Driveways

A driveway is the biggest single slab most people ever buy, and it is the one where cutting corners is invisible until the second winter. We strip the topsoil, bring in stone and compact it, form to a real fall so water leaves the slab, run fiber, mesh or rebar depending on what the job needs, and cut the joints so the cracks land where we put them instead of wherever they feel like. We pour driveways all over Knoxville, Maynardville, Clinton, Maryville and Sevierville, from a suburban two-car apron to a quarter mile of drive through the woods.

Base first, concrete second

Topsoil out, stone in, compacted before a single form goes up. Almost every failed driveway we get called to replace failed underneath, not on top.

Reinforced the way the job calls for

Fiber, wire mesh or rebar. Which one depends on the span, the soil and what is going to drive on it — not on what is cheapest that week.

Formed to drain

Fall away from the garage and off the slab. A driveway that holds water spalls, and in East Tennessee it freezes.

Our best work

Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Stamped concrete is where a slab stops being a slab. Pattern, color and a release that gives it depth, over the same properly based and reinforced pour we would do anyway — because a beautiful surface on a bad base is just a more expensive crack. We run flagstone, ashlar, hexagon and brick patterns, integral color with contrasting borders, and one-off inlays like the compass rose in the gallery below. If you want the look of pavers without the weeds and the settling, this is it.

Patterns and borders

Ashlar, flagstone, hexagon, brick ribbon. Field in one pattern and the border in another is what keeps a big area from reading flat.

Integral color and accents

Color through the mix instead of painted on top, so a chip is not a different color underneath.

Custom medallions and inlays

A compass rose in the middle of a driveway is not something you order from a catalog. It gets laid out on site.

Where summer happens

Patios & Pool Decks

A patio has a different job than a driveway: nobody parks a truck on it, but people walk on it barefoot and set furniture on it, so flat and level actually matter. Around a pool it matters more — the finish has to have grip when it is wet and the whole deck has to fall away from the water. We pour backyard patios, elevated slabs on block walls, and complete pool surrounds, and we can build in a fire pit while the area is open instead of after everything is finished.

Pool decks that are not slick

Broom or texture finish with grip when wet, pitched away from the pool so the water that comes off you does not run back in.

Elevated patios on block

When the grade drops away from the house, the patio gets a block foundation wall under it instead of fill that settles.

Fire pits and outdoor features

We build fire pits into the patio while the area is open. Ask when you call — it is a lot cheaper before the slab is poured than after.

Everything starts here

Foundations & Slabs

Everything built on top of a foundation inherits its mistakes. We dig and pour footings, lay block foundation walls, fill and compact, and pour the slab — square, level, and at the elevation the plans call for. We do this for houses, shops, carports, barns and equipment pads all over Knox and Union counties, including jobs on wooded and sloped lots where getting a level pad means moving dirt first.

Footings and block walls

Dug to bearing, poured, and block laid on top. The part nobody ever sees again is the part that decides whether the rest of it moves.

Slabs on grade

Vapor barrier, reinforcement and a compacted fill under it. Poured and finished in one operation so there is no cold joint through the middle.

Shops, carports and barns

Equipment pads and outbuilding slabs, including under a metal carport that is already standing.

The path to the door

Sidewalks & Walkways

Walkways are small pours that get treated carelessly and then heave, crack and trip people. They are narrow, which means they move more with the ground, so the base and the joint spacing matter more per square foot than they do on a driveway. We grade, compact, form the curve you actually want instead of the straight line that is easy, and joint it tight enough that the slab controls its own cracking.

Front walks and curves

Formed to a real curve when the yard calls for it. A walk that bends with the landscaping looks intentional; one that cuts the corner looks like a shortcut.

Jointed for movement

Narrow slabs move more, not less. Joints go in closer together so the concrete cracks where we told it to.

Driveway aprons and transitions

Where the new work meets the street, the garage or the old slab, done so there is no lip to catch a toe or a snow shovel.

Holding the grade

Steps & Retaining Walls

East Tennessee does not do flat, and that is half of what we get called for. We form and pour concrete steps that come out even tread to tread, and we build retaining walls in standard block or segmental Keystone block to hold a bank back off a driveway, a patio or a pad. A retaining wall is a drainage problem before it is a stacking problem — water behind a wall is what pushes it over, so ours get backfilled and drained instead of just built.

Poured concrete steps

Formed so every riser is the same height. Uneven treads are what people actually fall on, and they are entirely avoidable.

Keystone and segmental block

Interlocking block that steps back into the hill, for the walls people are going to look at every day.

Standard block walls

CMU walls for pads, patios and foundations where the wall is doing structural work and does not need to be decorative.

Removal & Replacement

Concrete that has heaved, cracked through or sunk is not a patching job. Whatever moved the slab is still under it, so pouring over the top just buys you a season and then the crack comes back through in the same place. We break it out, haul it off, find out what the ground was doing — usually a base that was never compacted or water with nowhere to go — fix that, and pour new. We do this for driveways, sidewalks, patios and slabs across Knoxville, Maynardville, Clinton, Maryville and Sevierville.

Break out and haul off

Old slab out and off your property, not stacked behind the garage for you to deal with later.

We fix what caused it

Ninety percent of the time the concrete did not fail, the base under it did. If we pour on the same ground with the same problem, you are paying twice.

Repair when repair is the answer

Not everything needs to come out. A section that is sound but stained needs washing, and one that has settled at a joint may only need that section replaced. We tell you which one you have.
