Homes, shops and new builds across Springdale
Springdale has a little of everything we pour for. Around historic downtown you'll find older houses with long-settled driveways, narrow front walks and steps that have seen a lot of feet. Farther out, newer neighborhoods keep filling in with builders on tight schedules, and there are plenty of shops, rentals and small commercial lots in between. It runs right into the cities next door, so a Springdale job often looks a lot like one in Tontitown.
That mix shapes the job. On older places we usually start by breaking out a slab that was poured on a thin base. On newer lots we check how the builder graded the yard, because a slab poured without that check can end up sending water toward the house.
What working in Springdale means for your job
Whether your driveway or patio needs a permit is up to the City of Springdale, so before we set a date I check with its Building Department, which you reach through City Hall. If a permit's needed, we handle the paperwork and line up the inspections so nothing gets poured out of order. That check is the first thing your schedule turns on, and after that it comes down to how much old concrete has to come out and a dry day to pour. Price moves with the size of the slab, the tear-out, how much base we bring in and the finish you pick, and your written estimate puts a number on it. We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask about either.
We're based in Fayetteville and work up through Springdale and on into Lowell, plus plenty of cities that don't have their own page, like those around our home base in Fayetteville. On older streets near downtown, I look at where a concrete truck can park and how far we'll have to move the concrete, because a long wheelbarrow run or a pump adds time to pour day. In newer subdivisions, it's more about working around the builder and the other trades so the ground isn't torn up again after we've packed it.

Concrete driveway building
Many older drives here have sunk where the base was raked flat, not packed. We dig out, pack a firm base and pour a drive that sheds water.
Concrete patio construction
Old Springdale patios that tip toward the house send rain right to the foundation. We set the slope so water runs to the yard, then pour and finish.
Stamped concrete services
Owners of older homes near downtown often want a patio that looks like stone. Our stamped concrete services press that pattern in over a packed base.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks on older Springdale houses often crack into trip edges. We tear out the bad sections and pour new ones with joints cut where cracks belong.
Slab foundation building
Builders putting up new houses in Springdale need slabs that are square and level. We prep the ground the slab sits on, then form and pour.
Concrete parking lot building
Small shops and rental properties in Springdale take daily traffic that wears out thin paving fast. We build lots on a deep, packed base sized for that load.

Call or send the form
Tell us what you've got, whether it's a sinking drive or a bare backyard, and we'll set a time for me to come out. Photos help, but they're not required.
Walk the job together
I measure, look at where the water runs and talk through what you want, then send a written estimate. You'll see your number in writing before you commit to anything.
Prep, form and pour
Once you say go, we line up any inspections the city asks for, then our crew digs out, packs the base, forms, pours and finishes with me on site. You don't need to be home on pour day.
Final walk-through
When we're done, I walk the finished slab with you and tell you how long to wait before you walk on it and drive on it. I'd like you there for that one.
Common questions
Where is Springdale City Hall, and how do I reach the Building Department?
Springdale City Hall is at 201 Spring Street, and the city's Building Department is reached through it. The City Hall number is 479-750-8114, which is the place to start with a question for any city department. I check with that office myself before we set a date, so you only need to call if you want to.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Springdale?
Your price comes down to the size of the drive, how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, how much base we bring in and pack, and the finish you choose. A plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives tires and shoes some grip, costs less than stamped or colored work, and steel rebar inside the slab, which holds cracks tight, adds a bit. The one thing I won't trim to hit a budget is the base, because nobody sees it on day one and it's what decides whether the drive stays flat for years.
How long do I have to stay off a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on it after a few days, but cars have to wait longer, and I'll give you the exact wait for your slab before we pour. That wait is curing, the time concrete needs to gain strength, and driving on it early is the quickest way to crack a brand-new drive. If it's your only way in, we'll sort out parking before pour day so you're not stuck.
Will my new patio crack like the old one did?
Concrete does crack, so the goal is to control where, and a patio built right usually cracks less and in places you won't notice. We pack a solid base so it doesn't settle, and we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, before it picks its own spot. Most old patios we tear out cracked because the base was only raked level or the joints were cut late or skipped.
What causes a concrete driveway to sink in Springdale?
Usually it's a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or water getting under the slab because nobody checked where it runs. When the dirt underneath settles or washes out, the concrete follows it down. Before we pour, I walk the lot to see where the water goes, and we slope the new slab away from the house.

Yes, we're based in Fayetteville and work across Northwest Arkansas, Springdale included, along with plenty of cities that don't have their own page on this site. I come out to look at your job myself, and I'm on site running our crew when we pour.
