Driveways, patios and steps for Davidson homes
People call us about what they can see, like a cracked or sunken driveway, a patio where water pools, or steps pulling away from the porch. The trouble usually started underneath, with a subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. Nobody sees the base after pour day, but it decides whether the slab stays flat, so that's where I'd spend first.
We're a concrete contractor in Concord, NC, and we work in Davidson the same way we do in Cornelius, Huntersville and Stallings. The Town of Davidson's Planning Department issues building permits here, and when your job needs one, we handle the application and scheduling with that office. If you'd rather ask them yourself, email at planning@townofdavidson.org is the quickest way.
Price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, whether old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit review, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before you use it. I write the estimate on site, and it spells out what's included and what isn't.
Concrete work we do in Davidson
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked or sunk at the edges, we tear it out, rebuild the base and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio sloped away from the house, so rain runs into the yard instead of pooling by your door.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete presses a stone, brick or slate pattern into the fresh surface of a patio, walk or pool deck.
Concrete sidewalk building
If a front walk has heaved or broken into trip edges, we replace it with a straight, even path.
Garage floor concrete
Garage slabs for a new garage or to replace a cracked, stained floor, poured thick enough for cars and storage.
Decorative concrete
Colored, stained or exposed-aggregate finishes for homeowners who want their concrete to match the house instead of plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope keeps washing into the yard or driveway, a poured wall holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for basements, workshops and additions, poured level and finished to take flooring or stay bare.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we pour decks with a textured finish that gives bare feet some grip when it's wet.
Concrete steps construction
If front or back steps have cracked, crumbled or pulled away from the house, we form and pour new ones.
Slab foundation building
For a house, garage or shed that sits right on the ground, we pack the base and pour the slab.
Foundation installation
For a new house or addition, we set the forms and pour the foundation walls it stands on.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking areas for small businesses and churches, built heavier than a driveway because trucks and daily traffic wear on them.
Concrete footings
Footings for decks, porches, additions and walls, the buried concrete base that spreads their weight into firm ground.
Foundation raising
When a slab or part of a foundation has dropped, we look at why before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
We saw doorways, trenches and damaged sections out of existing concrete, so the rest of the slab stays whole.

Davidson concrete questions, answered
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Davidson, NC?
A retaining wall, pool, garage or new house needs a building permit from the city, and once the city approves it, the permit goes to Mecklenburg County for review. The city's list doesn't name driveways or patios, so we ask the Planning Department about those before we pour.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree for a new driveway in Davidson?
You do if the tree is larger than twelve inches across at chest height, because the city doesn't allow one that size to come down without a permit. If it's part of the project, it goes on the building permit application, and taking one down on its own needs a separate tree permit.
What do I need before concrete work in Davidson's historic district?
You need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before any project starts in the local historic district. The Historic Preservation Commission can grant it, and minor projects can be approved administratively. If your house is in the district, we'll check that before anything gets scheduled.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Some cracking is normal in concrete, so the job is deciding where it happens. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned line to crack along, before it cracks on its own, and we dig out and pack the base so the slab has firm ground under it.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Davidson?
You'll walk on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength for days after the pour. I'll give you the dates for your slab when we schedule, and we pour early because midday heat dries the top too fast and leaves it weak and dusty.
