Driveways, patios and slabs for Stallings homes
Homeowners usually call when they see something, like a driveway cracked across, a patio sinking at one corner or water pooling where it shouldn't. The cause is usually underneath. Either the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or the slab tips toward the house so every rain runs back at it.
Your price moves with the size of the slab, whether old concrete has to come out, how much base the ground needs and the finish. Stamped work costs more than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps a slab from getting slick. The schedule turns on permit review, the weather and curing, the wait before you can use the slab while it gains strength. My written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't.
We're based in Concord and cover Stallings the same way we cover nearby Mint Hill. Before we dig here, I check one local rule. The Town of Stallings requires a tree or land disturbance permit before anyone clears, excavates, removes soil, places fill or disturbs the ground around a tree's roots, unless its rules exempt the work. When that permit applies, we handle the application.
Concrete services we offer in Stallings
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked through or sunk, we break it out and pour new on a packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio out back, sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling at the door.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, pressed into the surface while it's wet.
Concrete sidewalk building
If a walk has heaved or chipped into a trip hazard, we pour a new run, straight and even.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floors that have cracked, pitted or turned dusty get replaced with a new slab built to carry your cars.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed-aggregate finishes, for when you want concrete that looks like more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope in the yard is washing out or creeping, a concrete retaining wall holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, basements or additions, poured level so the flooring on top lies flat.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool we pour a deck with a finish that grips under wet feet and drains off fast.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps that have settled or pulled away from the house, rebuilt with every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for a garage, workshop or addition, set on a base that's dug out and packed first.
Foundation installation
When you're building new, we form and pour the foundation the house or addition stands on.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners who need a small lot or pad, poured thick enough for steady traffic and graded to drain.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under a wall, porch or addition, dug and poured to carry the weight above.
Foundation raising
If part of a slab or foundation has sunk, we look at whether raising it beats tearing it out.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a drain line or a straight edge where old slab meets new.
What every Stallings customer can count on
I look at the job and write the estimate
The written estimate lists what's included and what isn't, so you can line it up against other bids.
Our own crew, licensed and fully insured
I'm on site running the forming, pouring and finishing, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
The base gets the money before the finish
If the budget's tight, I'd cut the finish before the base, since a slab rides on what's under it.

Questions we hear from Stallings homeowners
Who issues building permits in Stallings, NC?
Union County Building Code Enforcement issues building permits for homes in Stallings, while zoning goes through the city's Planning Department because the county's zoning doesn't cover Stallings. The county also needs zoning approval before it issues a building permit, so the city's approval has to be in hand.
Does my patio or driveway project in Stallings need a permit?
Plan on at least a zoning permit, because the city requires one for any construction project. The county's building permit list names work like load-bearing and electrical changes, so whether your slab needs one is the county's call. When a permit's needed, we handle the application and scheduling and tell you up front which office reviews it.
How long does zoning permit review take in Stallings?
Plan on one to two weeks, though the city says review time varies by permit. Each submittal needs a plot plan sketch, a simple drawing of your lot showing where the new concrete goes, so we get that together early and schedule the pour around the approval.
Do I need a permit to build a new driveway in Stallings?
Yes, building, moving or changing a driveway takes a driveway permit from the city or from NCDOT, the state's transportation department, whichever one maintains your street. The plans follow NCDOT's driveway standards and get the city's review before construction, and the part in the public right-of-way, the strip the public owns along the road, has to be paved.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It can still get fine cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures, but we control where they go. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give it a planned place to crack, set rebar, the steel that holds it together, and pour on a dug-out, packed base. Old driveways that broke up usually skipped the base or the joints.
Does a concrete contractor in Stallings need a license?
North Carolina's Residential Contractor classification covers all construction and demolition work on homes built to the state's residential building code, so ask every bidder about licensing and insurance before you sign. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'll answer those questions when I come out to look at the job.
