Concrete driveway building
We dig out to firm ground, pack the base and pour a new driveway with rebar, steel that holds the slab together if it cracks, and a broom finish on top.
Concrete contractor in Clanton, AL - slabs poured on a packed base
Prattville Concrete builds driveways, patios, walks, garage floors and foundations for homeowners in Clanton, AL. I come out to measure the job myself, and my crew and I get the ground work right before anything gets poured.
What concrete work in Clanton looks like
Clanton is a drive up the road for us, since we're a concrete contractor based in Prattville, and I still come out to look at your job and measure it myself. What we see here is what we see across the area. Driveways and patios sink because somebody raked the dirt level instead of digging it out and packing it, cracks wander across slabs where nobody cut a joint, and some slabs tip water back toward the house.
The price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how deep we dig to reach firm ground and the finish you pick, since a broom finish, the light texture dragged across the top for grip, costs less than stamped. The schedule turns on the permit if your job needs one and on curing, the days the concrete needs to gain strength before you walk on it and longer before you drive on it. Your own figure comes from the estimate I do at your house.
The base gets dug out and packed
The subgrade, the ground your slab sits on, gets dug to firm dirt and packed. It's hidden once we pour, and if the budget's tight I'd cut the finish before the base.
Joints go where it will crack
Concrete cracks, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the crack a straight line to follow, early enough that the slab doesn't pick its own spot first.
City paperwork before a date
We find out what the City of Clanton wants before we set a date. If the job needs a permit, we handle it or walk you through it, and we don't start ahead of it.
Concrete work we do around Clanton
Concrete patio construction
Plenty of older patios were poured on raked dirt, so we pack a real base and slope the new slab away from your house so water runs off.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, and it sits on the same packed base as plain concrete, because a pattern won't hide a sinking slab.
Concrete sidewalk building
We replace walks that have sunk or tipped into trip edges, and we cut the joints on time so any cracking stays in the lines instead of across the middle.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor carries cars and tools, so we pour it thick enough for the load over a packed base and keep it pitched toward the door so water doesn't sit.
Decorative concrete
Colored and textured finishes dress up an entry or patio, and we'll tell you which ones hold up underfoot and which ones turn slick when they're wet.
Concrete retaining walls
When part of the yard sits higher than your drive or house, a concrete wall holds the dirt back, and we give the water behind it a way out.
Concrete floor installation
For shops, barns and add-on rooms, we pour interior floors on a packed, level base so the slab stays flat under shelving, equipment and everyday foot traffic.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck needs grip and a slope away from the water, so we pour a textured top and pitch it so splash runs off instead of pooling where you walk.
Concrete steps construction
Old porch and entry steps often settle away from the house, so we tear them out, set footings under the new ones and keep every rise the same height.
Slab foundation building
For a new house, shop or addition, we get the ground dug out, packed and checked, then pour a slab foundation with steel set where the walls bear.
Foundation installation
We form and pour foundations for homes, additions and outbuildings, and we check the layout against your plans before any concrete goes in, because a foundation can't be moved once it's poured.
Concrete parking lot building
For small business lots, we pour thicker concrete with steel over a deeper packed base, because delivery trucks and daily turning wear out a thin slab fast.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under a wall, post or set of steps that spreads the weight, and we dig them to firm ground so what sits on them stays put.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk, we look at why before quoting a fix, because raising it without dealing with the water or the base just buys time.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut old slabs for removal, openings and new joints, which is cleaner than breaking out a whole driveway when only one section has failed.

The person pricing it runs it
I measure the job myself and I'm on site running it with my crew, so what we talked about in your driveway is what gets built.
Why the old slab failed
If you're replacing a slab that sank or cracked, I'll look at why before we price the new one, because the same base and drainage usually do it again.

Clanton permit and license questions
Common questions about permits and licensing before a concrete job in Clanton, answered from what the city and the state say.
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Clanton?
Check with the city's Building Department first, because it issues permits to build, alter, repair or move a building or structure, and the permit comes before work starts. We find out whether your slab falls under that before we set a date. If work that needs a permit starts without one, the fees double and the work still has to meet the full code.
Does my concrete contractor need a city license to work in Clanton?
Yes, the city requires residential contractors to hold a city license, and every subcontractor on the job needs one too, whether they're paid by the job or by the hour. It's a fair thing to ask anyone before you hire them, and that goes for whoever they bring along.
When does a contractor need an Alabama home builders license?
The Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board licenses and regulates residential construction and remodeling across the state, and its rule gives examples of where the line falls. For repairs across several trades that a homeowner hires directly, those examples need no board license when the cost does not exceed $10,000. We're licensed and insured, and you can ask me about it on site.
