Concrete Work in and Around Hull

Hull is a small town just over the Clarke County line, and the homeowners who call us as concrete contractors here are often only a short drive from Athens but living on quieter, larger lots. Hull sits in southwestern Madison County, and Georgia State Route 72 runs through the town center, 6 miles southwest to central Athens and 5 miles east-northeast to Colbert. The 2020 census counted 230 residents. Its nickname, "The Well City," comes from a long-standing water well in the middle of town.

A town on a ridge

Wikipedia describes Hull as sitting on a ridge, with South Creek draining the town to the north and Sulphur Spring Branch draining it to the south, both feeding the South Fork of the Broad River. The town is at about 820 feet. On a ridge, lots often slope two ways: from front to back and from one side to the other. That makes drainage the first question on any driveway or patio. We set the pitch so water runs off toward the low side of the lot and away from the house, and we keep it from crossing the slab where it can freeze or undercut the edges.

The ZIP code reaches far

Hull's 30646 ZIP code also covers Dogsboro, Neese and Planter, extending north to the Ila town limits more than 10 miles away. Many people with a Hull address live well outside the town itself, on farm roads and large wooded lots. For those properties we see long driveways, turnarounds, slabs for pole barns, and patios behind homes set far from the road.

Building on Piedmont ground

Soils across this part of the Piedmont typically include red clay below the topsoil. Clay holds moisture and moves with the seasons, so a slab poured directly on it is likely to crack. We remove organic soil, compact a stone base, and use control joints spaced for the slab thickness so any cracking happens in a straight line at the joint, not across the middle of a panel.

Close to Athens, outside the city

Because Athens-Clarke County borders Hull to the southwest, some Hull-area homes sit just inside Clarke County and some just outside it in Madison County. Permit offices and road maintenance differ across that line. We check your parcel first so the right office reviews any driveway or right-of-way work.

Why we compact the base

A slab is only as good as what it sits on. Compacted crushed stone spreads the load, drains water out from under the slab, and keeps clay from pumping up through joints. We compact in layers and check it before we pour.

Hull Questions

Do you work outside Hull's town limits?

Yes. We work across the 30646 ZIP code and the surrounding Madison County roads, including rural lots well outside town.

Why do control joints matter?

Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with the seasons. Joints give it a planned place to crack, so the slab cracks in a straight line at the joint instead of randomly.

Can you pour a slab for a pole barn?

Yes. We size the slab for the building and what it will store, and we can pour it before or after the posts go in.
