Lewisburg homes, lots and the concrete they need
Lewisburg is a small city in Marshall County, and our calls here run from older houses with front porches near downtown to newer subdivisions and lots that back up to farm ground. On the older homes it's usually a tired driveway, a broken front walk or steps that have pulled away from the porch. On the newer ones it's patios and garage floors, and on the bigger lots it's shop slabs and footings for barns and outbuildings.
It's the same kind of work we do in Columbia and back home in Spring Hill, but Lewisburg sits in rolling hills, so a lot of yards here slope. On a slope, how well the base is packed and where the water runs off the slab matter more than anything we do to the surface.
Concrete work we do on Lewisburg properties
Concrete driveway building
When an older Lewisburg driveway sinks, the dirt under it usually wasn't packed. We dig out, pack the base and pour a slab that drains away from your house.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio on a sloped Lewisburg lot needs to fall away from the house, so we set the grade before we set the forms and pour.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick. Underneath, it needs the same packed base, or the pattern cracks too.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks on older Lewisburg homes are often lifted by roots. We tear out, regrade and pour a broom finish, a light brushed texture that grips wet shoes.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor that's dusty and cracked usually had a weak top from the start. We pour new floors sloped to carry water out the door.
Decorative concrete
Colored or stained concrete can pick up the brick on an older Lewisburg house. We settle the finish with you at the estimate, before any concrete is ordered.
Concrete retaining walls
On a hilly Lewisburg lot, a concrete wall holds a slope back so the yard or driveway stays put. The drainage behind it matters as much as the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Shop and barn floors on bigger Lewisburg lots carry tractors and trucks. We set rebar, steel that holds cracks tight, sized for what you'll park there.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to drain away from the pool and grip when it's wet. We slope it and pick a finish that's easy on bare feet.
Concrete steps construction
Porch steps on older Lewisburg homes often settle or pull away from the house. We pour new steps with even risers, so nobody trips on a short one.
Slab foundation building
Builders adding a garage or a new house here need a slab that's square and level, because framing on top can't fix a slab that's off.
Foundation installation
New homes and additions on sloping Lewisburg lots need a foundation stepped to the ground. We form and pour it so the house sits level.
Concrete parking lot building
Small businesses in Lewisburg need a lot that carries traffic and sheds water. We pack a heavier base and slope it so puddles don't sit in the spaces.
Concrete footings
Decks, porches, carports and outbuildings need footings, the concrete pads that carry the weight down. We dig them to firm ground so the structure doesn't settle.
Foundation raising
When a slab has settled and doors stick or cracks open, raising it can bring it back toward level. We find out why it sank first.
Concrete cutting
A clean saw cut lets us remove one broken section of a Lewisburg driveway instead of the whole slab. We also cut openings for drains and doorways.

Working in Lewisburg: permits, flood zones and pricing
Before we dig anything in Lewisburg, I find out which office covers your address, the city or Marshall County, and we handle the permit paperwork when the job needs one. On a lot in the city's mapped flood zone, the city's Planning and Codes Department takes the Floodplain Development Permit application, and that permit has to come first, so it adds a step before your pour date. We're licensed and insured, and the business licenses a contractor here should carry are in the questions below.
A lot of Lewisburg work sits on bigger lots and long drives, where how close the truck can back up and how much soft dirt has to come out make a real difference to the job. Price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, tearing out any old concrete, the fill a sloped yard needs, the truck's reach and the finish you pick, while the schedule turns mostly on the permit question and the cure before you can use it. Your free estimate spells out what that means for your property, the same way we do it in Brentwood and the other cities around us.
Why Lewisburg driveways and slabs give out early
Plenty of Lewisburg lots roll, and on a slope water wants to run under and across a slab instead of off it. The older driveways and walks we look at here have usually settled where the dirt under them was raked smooth instead of dug out and packed, and many pitch back toward the house or hold a puddle by the garage. We dig down to firm ground, pack the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, and set the grade so water leaves the slab before we think about the finish. If the budget gets tight, cut the fancy finish before the base, because nobody sees the base on day one, but it's the part you can't fix later without tearing the whole slab out.
Some parts of Lewisburg flood now and then from the rivers, and the city maps those areas. On a low lot I look hard at where high water goes, so a new slab doesn't send runoff toward your foundation or hold it against the house.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Lewisburg
Here's what happens from your first call to the day we walk the finished slab together, and what you need to do at each step.
Call or send a request
Call (931) 486-8126 or send the form, and we'll set a time for me to come out. It helps if you're home for this first visit so you can show me what's bothering you.
I measure and walk the lot
I come out myself, measure, watch how water moves on your property and ask how you plan to use the concrete. You get a free estimate that spells out the job, so you know what you're paying for before anything is ordered.
We settle permits, prep and pour
Before we start, we check the permit question with the office that covers your address, then dig out, pack the base and set the forms. I check the base, forms and joint layout before a truck is called, and I run the crew on pour day.
We walk it together
New concrete needs to cure, which means hardening enough to take weight, so you'll wait a bit before walking on it and longer before driving on it. Once it has cured, we walk the finished job with you.
Questions about concrete work in Lewisburg
Call (931) 486-8126Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Lewisburg, TN?
It may need one, and we find out before any work starts by checking with the office that covers your address. Marshall County's guidance says most outside renovation work and all outside construction need a building permit, while routine maintenance and repairs don't. If you'd like to ask yourself, the Marshall County Codes Office takes calls at 931-359-0567 before work begins.
How do I find out if my Lewisburg lot needs a Floodplain Development Permit?
Your lot needs one for most work if it sits in the city's Special Flood Hazard Area, the flood zone drawn on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and that permit comes before a building permit or any other work on the lot. The city's list of work that needs it includes filling and excavating, and nearly every concrete job starts by digging out, so on a flood-zone lot we settle this first. You can read the rules on the city's floodplain management page.
What happens if concrete work starts before the permit in Marshall County?
Marshall County's building code charges double the normal permit fee when work starts before the permit. That's one reason our crew doesn't break ground until the permit question is settled.
Which business license should a concrete contractor in Lewisburg have?
Inside the city, a business needs Lewisburg's Business Tax License, which the city's tax clerk handles, and Marshall County has new businesses get their first business license from the County Clerk within 20 days of starting. It's fair to ask any contractor which of these they hold before you sign anything.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Lewisburg, TN?
The cost of a Lewisburg driveway is set by its size, its thickness, any tear-out and the finish, and you get your own figure from a free on-site estimate. The biggest swings come from breaking out an old slab, bringing in fill on a sloped yard, and choosing stamped or colored concrete over a plain broom finish. A flood-zone lot can add a permit step, which affects timing more than the pour itself.
What causes a concrete driveway to crack, and will a new one crack too?
Most bad cracking starts below the surface, from a base that settled, or from control joints cut late or skipped. Concrete shrinks as it hardens, so we cut control joints, straight grooves that give it a place to crack where you won't notice, and we pour early in the day, because midday heat can leave a weak, dusty top. I won't promise a slab that never cracks, but these steps keep the cracks where we chose to put them.
