Concrete services in Murfreesboro

  • Driveways

    New driveways, replacements, widening and parking pads. On a good job, the joints (grooves that decide where cracks form) are planned before the concrete arrives.

  • Patios

    Back patios, grill pads and hot tub pads. A patio needs a gentle slope so water drains off.

How Murfreesboro's ground affects concrete

Murfreesboro sits on limestone. The City describes "a system of moving water, caves, and other karst features" under the city (karst: limestone ground with caves and sinkholes), and limestone glades "large and small" within its limits. That changes how a slab should be built:

  • Shallow rock and thin soil. The Center for Cedar Glade Studies at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) says the glades have little or no soil over the limestone. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Barfield soils, first described in Rutherford County, reach limestone just 8 to 20 inches down. Uneven depth to rock means uneven support unless the base is built up and compacted.
  • Sinkholes. A U.S. Geological Survey study (2006) found flooding in 78 sinkholes across three Murfreesboro study areas. A slab shouldn't send water into a sinkhole or sit where one drains.
  • Clay that moves. The U.S. Department of Agriculture classes the Eagleville soils, also first described in Rutherford County, as smectitic clay: the kind that swells when wet and shrinks as it dries. Good drainage and a compacted base help keep a slab from moving as the ground swells and shrinks.
  • Rain. The normal yearly rainfall near Murfreesboro is 55.92 inches (NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), so every slab needs a planned slope and somewhere for the water to go.

From your call to a finished slab

  1. Describe the job

    Call or use the form. Give the size, what you want poured or fixed, and anything awkward: slopes, trees, a narrow gate, wet spots.

  2. Free quote

    A local company measures the area, looks at the base and where the water drains, then gives you the price. You pay nothing for the quote.

  3. Pour the concrete and let it harden

    Base (crushed stone) compacted, forms (the edges that hold wet concrete) set, concrete placed and kept moist while it hardens. Cars stay off it for at least seven days.

Hiring a concrete contractor in Rutherford County

  • Check the license. Tennessee requires a Home Improvement license for residential projects from $3,000 to $24,999 in Rutherford County, and driveways are named in the law. Projects of $25,000 or more need a contractor's license. Look the number up on the state's Verify search before you sign.
  • Get the scope in writing. Area, thickness, base, reinforcement, joint spacing, finish, removal and cleanup.
  • Ask who will apply for the permits. Widening a driveway into the City's right-of-way (the City's land beside the street) needs a City permit; the fee doubles if work starts before the application.
  • Ask for proof of insurance, sent by the insurer.
  • Ask about the warranty. Find out what the contractor guarantees, and for how long, in writing.
  • Agree on the payment schedule. A deposit is normal; paying in full before the pour is not.

Common questions in Murfreesboro

Does a concrete contractor need a license in Rutherford County?

For many home jobs, yes. Tennessee requires a Home Improvement license for residential projects from $3,000 to $24,999 in Rutherford County and eight other counties, and the state names driveways among the covered work. Projects of $25,000 or more need a full contractor's license. You can check either on the state's Verify search.

Do I need a City permit to widen my driveway?

The City of Murfreesboro lists widening or expanding a residential driveway among the work that needs a right-of-way permit from its Engineering Department. The fee is $50 per street affected, and it doubles if work in the right-of-way starts before you apply.

When is the best time of year to pour concrete here?

Mild weather is best for new concrete. Near Murfreesboro, the 1991–2020 normals from NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) put the median last spring freeze on April 9 and the first fall freeze on October 27, with a normal July high of 89.2°F. Summer and winter pours are possible too. On hot days the work starts early. On cold nights the slab is covered so it doesn't freeze.

How long before I can drive on new concrete?

Seven days at the least: that is the advice of the ready-mixed concrete associations in Virginia and Iowa. For heavy trucks, the Virginia group says to wait six months. Walking on it can come sooner, depending on the mix and the weather, so ask the company that pours it.
