Spring Hill homes and the ground they sit on
Spring Hill is where we're based, and most of our work here is flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and slabs that lie on the ground, around houses built on graded subdivision lots. Builders call us too, for footings and slab foundations on lots that were open ground not long ago. The city sits in both Maury County and Williamson County, and we work on both sides of that line the same way we do in Franklin and Columbia.
Newer houses here usually sit on yards that were scraped, filled and regraded when the street went in, so the dirt under a driveway may not be as settled as it looks. That's why we start with the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and dig out anything soft before we pack the base.
Concrete work we do around Spring Hill
Concrete driveway building
Driveways on newer Spring Hill lots often sit on fill dirt, so we dig out anything soft and pack the base before a single form goes down.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio here usually needs to fall away from the house, so we check where your yard drains before we set forms and pour.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walkway the look of stone or brick, and it lasts best when the base and joints underneath are done right first.
Concrete sidewalk building
When a front walk has heaved into a trip hazard, we replace it with straight edges and a broom finish, a brushed texture that grips when wet.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floors carry car weight every day and often a workshop too, so we pour on a packed base and cut joints where any crack should go.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers colored, stained and textured finishes, a good fit when a newer house here needs a patio or entry that matches its brick or stone.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard has been cut into a slope, a concrete retaining wall holds the dirt back and keeps water from washing it onto your patio or drive.
Concrete floor installation
Shops and outbuildings on the bigger Spring Hill lots get a flat interior slab, with rebar, steel bars set inside, to help hold it together.
Concrete pool decks
Around a Spring Hill backyard pool, the deck has to shed splash water away from the pool and house, with a finish that isn't slick underfoot.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps that have pulled away from the house or tipped forward get rebuilt with even risers and solid footing under them.
Slab foundation building
Builders putting up houses and additions here call us for slab foundations, and we get the forms square and the base packed before anything is poured.
Foundation installation
New houses, additions and garages need foundation walls set level and plumb, because every wall and floor above them inherits any error we leave.
Concrete parking lot building
Churches, shops and offices along Spring Hill's busier roads need lots that carry daily traffic and drain toward the storm inlets, not toward the door.
Concrete footings
Decks, porches and additions rest on footings, the concrete pads under the posts and walls, so we dig them to firm ground, not loose fill.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has dropped on one side, raising it can bring it back toward level, and we'll tell you whether it's worth doing.
Concrete cutting
We saw out cracked sections and cut clean openings for doors, drains or new plumbing in existing slabs, garage floors and driveways around Spring Hill.

Working in Spring Hill: permits, licenses and what sets the price
For an address inside the city limits, the City of Spring Hill is the office we deal with on permits, and Williamson County's codes office, which covers the county's unincorporated areas, points anyone building in the city back to it. We find out which office covers your address and handle the permit paperwork when the job needs one, and work doesn't start until that's settled, so the permit question can set your start date. On the contractor side, most businesses working in Spring Hill need a business tax license from the city and from the county the job sits in, so it's fair to ask anyone you're considering for both. We're licensed and insured.
What moves the price here is mostly what's under the job and how we get to it, plus the finish you choose, and the schedule turns on the permit question and the base work, because we don't pour until both are right. Your estimate spells out the job so you can see where the money goes before you decide. Lots in Thompson's Station, just up the road, run much the same, and we work them the same way.
Driveway and patio trouble on Spring Hill lots
A lot of the driveways we're called to here were poured fast while a subdivision was going up, often on a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. When that fill keeps settling, the slab goes with it, and you see sinking at the garage, cracks running across the middle and a step where the drive meets the sidewalk. We tear out the bad sections, dig to firm ground and pack the base in layers. If the budget's tight, I'd keep that base work and go with a plain broom finish before I'd put a fancy surface on dirt that's still moving.
Water is the other thing. Graded yards send runoff somewhere, and on plenty of houses here it ends up pooling against a patio or running under a slab that falls back toward the foundation, so I watch where the water goes at the estimate and we set the new concrete to shed it away from the house.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Spring Hill
From your first call to the last walk-through, here's what happens on your side and who you'll be dealing with.
Call or send the form
Call (931) 486-8126 or send the form, and we'll set a time for me to come look. It helps if you're home, so you can show me the trouble spots and tell me how you'll use the concrete.
I measure and watch water
I come out myself, measure and look at how water moves across the yard toward the job. You get a free estimate that spells out the base, thickness, joints and finish, so you know what you're paying for before you decide.
We settle permits and prep
Before we start, we check the permit question with the office that covers your address. On pour day I run the crew, and I check the base, forms and joint layout before a truck is called, because none of it can be fixed once it's poured.
Walk the cured job together
Once the concrete has cured, we walk the finished job together and look over the edges, the finish and how it drains. The work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Questions about concrete work in Spring Hill
Call (931) 486-8126What permits does Spring Hill list for a retaining wall or concrete patio?
The City of Spring Hill lists a building permit application for retaining walls on its permits page, along with decks, fences, sheds, swimming pools and residential building. Patios and driveways aren't named on that list, which doesn't mean they're exempt, so we ask the city about your job before it goes on the calendar.
How do I find out if my Spring Hill property is in a flood zone?
Start with FEMA's flood map viewer, which FEMA calls the best place to start for official flood hazard information on an area. Spring Hill also has a FEMA Flood Zone Application on its permit list, so if the map puts your lot in a flood area, raise it with the city before a new slab or wall goes in, and tell me at the estimate too.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Spring Hill, TN?
Your price comes from the size of the driveway, the work under it and the finish on top, and we give you that figure in a free on-site estimate. On lots here the big swings are usually how much soft fill has to come out, whether an old slab has to be broken up and hauled off, how close a truck can get, and whether you want stamped or decorative work instead of a plain broom finish.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Spring Hill?
You stay off it until it has cured, and we tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for a car, because that wait depends on the mix and the conditions on pour day. Curing is the slab gaining strength after the pour, and driving on it early is one of the surest ways to crack a new driveway, so we plan where you'll park before we start.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one in Spring Hill?
Concrete can still crack, but a packed base and well-placed control joints keep cracks from wandering across the slab. Control joints are grooves we cut so that if the slab cracks as it shrinks, it cracks in a straight line inside the groove instead of across the middle. We cut them on time, and the packed base keeps the new patio from riding on settling dirt like a lot of the old ones here.
Do you pour concrete on both the Maury County and Williamson County sides of Spring Hill?
Yes, we're based in Spring Hill and work on both sides of the county line. We also pour in Franklin, Columbia, Brentwood and other cities around it, so if your project is just outside the city, call (931) 486-8126 and ask.
