Footings
Footings sized and set for the soil conditions and the structural load.
Concrete in Northeast Arkansas
Concrete is placed once. Everything that determines how it performs happens before the truck arrives.
What Concrete Covers
Subgrade preparation, reinforcement, and drainage decide how concrete behaves over time. Concrete placed on poorly prepared subgrade cracks and settles regardless of the mix, and no finish quality compensates for what is underneath it.
Control joints are the other half. Concrete cracks. The only question is whether it cracks where joints were placed to control it or somewhere else, and joint spacing is a design decision made before placement.
Water is the connection to everything else we do. Flatwork that pitches toward a building instead of away from it delivers water to the foundation, which is one of the more common causes of the foundation problems we get called about.
Concrete Services
Slabs
Slab-on-grade for new construction, additions, and outbuildings.
Flatwork
Driveways, walkways, and patios placed with pitch that moves water away from the structure.
Structural Concrete
Foundation walls, piers, and structural elements.
Subgrade Preparation
Preparing and compacting what the concrete sits on, which determines how it performs.
Control Joints
Joint placement that controls where concrete cracks rather than leaving it to chance.
New Construction, Remodeling, and Rebuilds

Why does concrete crack?
Because it shrinks as it cures and moves with temperature. Cracking is not preventable. Control joints determine whether it cracks where you planned or somewhere you did not.
What makes concrete settle unevenly?
Usually the subgrade underneath rather than the concrete itself. Poorly prepared or poorly drained subgrade moves, and the slab on top of it records that movement.
Does flatwork pitch matter?
Considerably. Flatwork pitched toward a building delivers water to the foundation, and that is one of the more common causes of the foundation problems we get called about.
How deep should footings be?
Deep enough to reach stable soil and below frost depth for the load being carried. It is determined by conditions rather than by a default number.
Can existing concrete be repaired or does it need replacing?
It depends on the cause. Surface damage on sound concrete can often be repaired. Cracking and settling caused by subgrade movement is a subgrade problem, and repairing the surface repeats the failure.
Do you self-perform concrete?
Yes. Footings, slabs, flatwork, and structural concrete are performed by our own crews.
