Concrete Services in Alpharetta, GA

Thirty-Year-Old Concrete in a Young City

Because so much of Alpharetta went up at once, a lot of its concrete is wearing out at once. We see the same patterns street after street.

1990s Subdivision Driveways

Builders moving fast in the 90s did not always compact fill well on graded lots, and red clay settles when it is left loose. The usual result is a driveway that has dropped near the garage or split where it crosses old fill. If the panels are still whole, leveling may work. If they are broken, we remove them, rebuild the base and pour new.

Front walks from that era tend to fail too, usually at the step where the walk meets the stoop. Rebuilding the two together gives a cleaner joint and a level landing at the door.

Townhomes and Newer Infill

Newer townhome rows near downtown and along Old Milton Parkway tend to have short, tight driveways and small patios. Access is the challenge on those jobs, so we plan pump or buggy placement before the pour so we do not crowd your neighbors.

Working in Windward and Other HOA Communities

Windward alone has roughly 3,337 homes around 200-acre Lake Windward, with a median build year of 1994. Like most of Alpharetta's planned communities, it has an HOA that cares what your driveway looks like.

Getting Through Architectural Review

We give you a scaled sketch, the finish, any color and the exact footprint so your HOA submittal is complete the first time. Most boards want driveway widening and front-yard patios reviewed before work begins.

Lakeside and Golf Course Lots

Lots that fall toward Lake Windward or the Golf Club of Georgia courses along Big Creek can be steep in back. A concrete patio on that kind of slope may need a stepped design or a short retaining wall so the slab sits on solid, cut ground instead of loose fill.

City Permits and the Right-of-Way

Alpharetta is strict about digging in public space, and it pays to know that before your driveway comes out.

Encroachment Permit for the Apron

The city requires an approved Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit before any excavation in city right-of-way. Since the apron and curb cut usually sit in that strip, we include the permit in the schedule whenever a driveway replacement runs to the street.

Utility Locates

Alpharetta has invested in fiber since the 1980s and hosts several data centers, so the ground along many streets is full of conduit. We file a Georgia 811 request on every job and hand-dig near marked lines.

How We Build for North Fulton Ground

The soil here is the same Piedmont red clay found across the metro, and it moves with the weather. Our build method is set up for that.

Base, Steel and Joints

We excavate past the topsoil, compact a 4-inch graded aggregate base and add reinforcement sized to the use. Control joints go in at planned spacing so the cracks that clay movement will cause land in a straight line instead of across the middle of a panel.

Timing matters too. In July and August we start pours at first light so the surface can be finished before the afternoon heat dries it too quickly, and we cure the slab with water or a curing compound for the first several days. In winter we hold off when the forecast drops below 40°F.

Pool Decks and Outdoor Living

Many Alpharetta backyards have pools from the same 90s era, and the decks around them are often cracked or sunken. Our concrete pool decks use a textured, slip-resistant finish and slope water away from the coping.

Alpharetta Concrete FAQs

A few things homeowners here want to know before they call.

What does a new driveway cost in Alpharetta?

New driveways typically run $8–$14 per square foot, or about $4,800–$8,400 for 600 square feet. Replacement with removal of the old slab runs $10–$16.

Do you work near the Big Creek Greenway?

Yes. The greenway itself is a 12-mile concrete path, and many homes back up to it. We keep equipment on your property and protect the trail edge while we work.

How long does a typical residential job take?

Most driveways and patios take a few days from tear-out to pour, plus 7 days before vehicles. Permits and HOA review can add time on the front end.

Do you do commercial concrete near Windward Parkway?

We do. Office parks and retail sites get a quote based on plans or a site walk, never a generic per-foot number. Dumpster pads and sidewalk repairs around shopping centers are common requests.
