Concrete Services in Hendersonville, TN

Building on Old Hickory Lake Lots

Old Hickory Lake shapes Hendersonville more than any road or district. Lakefront and lake-view homes come with slopes, shoreline rules and a lot of runoff.

The Corps Owns the Shoreline

Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project, run by its Nashville District, and the strip of land at the water's edge behind most homes is federal property. Stairs and walkways on that strip need a shoreline use permit or license from the Corps. We keep our concrete on your side of the property line unless the Corps has approved the work, and we can help you understand where that line is.

Terraced Patios on Steep Lots

On the Indian Lake and Walton Ferry peninsulas, a level patio usually means a retaining wall first. We pour walls with footings sized for the slope and gravel and drain pipe behind them. Our concrete retaining walls page explains how we size them.

Steps Down the Hill

Concrete steps from the house to a lower patio or yard have to handle water running down them in every storm. We give each tread a slight pitch and a broom texture for grip.

Hendersonville Neighborhoods We Work In

Housing here ranges from older homes in Winston Hills to master-planned communities like Durham Farms. Each has its own concrete needs.

Established Neighborhoods

Winston Hills and the older streets near the lake have driveways that have seen decades of freeze-thaw and tree roots. A two-car driveway replacement usually costs $4,000 to $7,000, with old concrete removed at $2 to $6 per square foot. See our concrete driveways page for how we build.

Master-Planned Communities

In Durham Farms, Mansker Farms and similar neighborhoods, HOA approval comes before anything else. We prepare a drawing and finish sample for your submittal and wait for the green light.

Subdivisions Built in the 1990s and 2000s

Homes in Wyncrest, Somerset Downs and nearby neighborhoods are now old enough for their first patio expansion or garage apron replacement. A 12 by 20 foot patio with a basic finish typically runs $2,000 to $3,500.

Boat and Trailer Parking

Lake households often need a pad beside the garage for a boat, trailer or camper. We pour those thicker than a standard driveway with heavier reinforcement, since a loaded trailer tongue puts a lot of weight on a small area. A plain broom pad runs $6 to $10 per square foot.

Pool Decks and Outdoor Living

With the lake close by, many Hendersonville families build their backyard around water. We pour pool surrounds, outdoor kitchen pads and fire pit patios.

Finishes That Handle Sun and Water

Stamped and stained finishes run $12 to $20 or more per square foot, and a light-colored broom or salt finish stays cooler underfoot. Our concrete pool decks page compares the options.

Drainage Away From the Pool

We slope pool decks away from the coping and toward drains or lawn so lake-country downpours do not wash dirt back into the water.

Roads, Permits and Ground Conditions

A few local details can change how a Hendersonville job is permitted and built.

State Routes Out Front

Vietnam Veterans Boulevard is State Route 386 and Gallatin Pike is U.S. 31E. If your driveway ties into a state route, TDOT requires a highway entrance permit before the entrance is built or changed. City streets go through Hendersonville instead, and we confirm which applies.

Limestone and Clay

Sumner County ground is typical Middle Tennessee clay over limestone. We hold a 10 to 15 percent contingency for rock found during excavation and only charge it if we hit it.

Creek Corridors

Lots along Drakes Creek and its branches drain toward the lake and can stay soft after rain. We build up a compacted stone base on those properties before forming.

Hendersonville Concrete Questions

Common questions from homeowners around the lake.

Can you pour a path down to my dock?

Only on your own property, unless the Corps has issued a permit for work on the shoreline strip. We can pour up to the line and talk through the permit process with you.

How do you keep a slab from sliding on a slope?

We key the slab into the hillside, use thickened edges on the downhill side and add a wall where the grade is too steep to pour on directly.

What is the smallest job you take?

Our minimum is roughly $500 to $1,500, in line with other Nashville-area crews, which covers a single step or a small pad. Small jobs still get the same base prep and cure as a full driveway.
