How We Build Concrete in the Athens Area

Athens Concrete Contractors pours and repairs residential concrete in Athens-Clarke County and the counties around it: driveways and aprons, backyard patios, stamped surfaces, front walks and poured steps, slabs for garages, sheds and equipment, and repairs to concrete that has cracked, sunk or worn.

Concrete in this part of Georgia rarely fails because of ice. It fails because of what sits under it and what runs across it. Much of the Piedmont is red clay, Athens is built on hills, and the airport records close to 49 inches of rain in an average year. Summer pours happen in heat that pushes 90 degrees by afternoon. So the parts of the job we will not shortcut are the ones underneath and the ones on pour day: soft ground removed, a stone base compacted, slope set so water leaves, and a cure that keeps the slab from drying out too fast.

What working with us looks like

• We come out and measure. No phone guesses. We look at the slope, the soil, the trees and where your downspouts empty.
• The quote is itemized. Removal, base, thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealing each get a line, so you can compare bids fairly.
• We say when repair is enough. If leveling, crack repair or resurfacing will solve the problem, that option is priced next to replacement.
• Paperwork is part of the job. We help with the Athens-Clarke residential driveway permit when the work reaches the street, request Georgia 811 locates before machines dig, and tell you if your home sits in one of the county's local historic districts.
• You get care instructions in writing. Dates for walking, parking and sealing, plus what to avoid in the first months.
