Oak Ridge is full of established, mid-century homes on ridge lots — and a lot of them are running on original concrete that’s cracked, heaved and settled after decades. Replacement and repair is a big part of what we do here: tearing out tired driveways, walks and patios and rebuilding them on a base that will actually hold.
The city’s ridge-and-valley terrain means grade and drainage are almost always part of the job. We pour new driveways, patios and decorative concrete throughout Oak Ridge and Anderson County with the slope planned in from the start.

Replacing decades-old concrete the right way
Original mid-century slabs in Oak Ridge usually failed for the same reasons: thin pours on uncompacted ground with no drainage. We don’t just pour over the problem — we dig out, compact the sub-base, fix the grade, reinforce and joint it properly, so the replacement doesn’t crack like the one it replaced.
What it costs
Concrete flatwork in this area runs about $10–$12 per square foot for a broom or troweled finish and upwards of $18–$20 for stamped or stained decorative work. Size and access, whether the pour has to be pumped, the mix (PSI and fiber) and upgrades like wire mesh all affect the final number. We give itemized estimates.
