Concrete Contractors in Belle Meade, TN

Belle Meade homeowners looking for concrete contractors usually care as much about how the work looks as how long it lasts. Belle Meade incorporated in 1938 and covers about 3.07 square miles of land west of Nashville, with 2,901 residents and 1,130 housing units at the 2020 census. Its homes are among the most distinctive in Tennessee. We replace and build driveways, motor courts, walks, steps, terraces and patios, and we repair concrete with a careful eye on the setting.

From plantation to garden suburb

John Harding established the Belle Meade plantation in 1807 on 5,300 acres, and the estate later became known for thoroughbred breeding. It was broken up and sold in parcels in 1906. Developers then hired landscape architect O.C. Simonds to lay out a garden suburb with curving streets instead of a grid, and the Belle Meade Golf Links subdivision was platted on November 17, 1915. Belle Meade Boulevard was built as a main road and ends at the entrance to Percy Warner Park, and the Nashville Golf and Country Club moved to a 144-acre tract along Richland Creek in 1916.

That history shows up in the concrete work. Many homes date from the early and middle 20th century and sit on large, landscaped lots with long drives, front walks set into lawns and stone or brick details.

Design guidelines and character

Belle Meade's historic character is guided by neighborhood conservation zoning design guidelines. Before we plan a new driveway, walk or front step, we look at what the guidelines and the city expect for your property and help you prepare what any review needs. In practice, that usually means:

• Keeping the layout of historic drives and walks where possible
• Choosing finishes that sit quietly next to brick, stone and stucco
• Using borders or bands of brick or stone where they match the house
• Avoiding bright, raw gray on large visible surfaces

We bring finish and color samples to every estimate so you can see them against your house.

Richland Creek and drainage

Richland Creek flows through the neighborhood, and the city sits at about 560 feet. Lots near the creek can be low and wet, while others rise toward the Warner Parks. Long driveways on rolling ground collect a lot of water. We grade each project so runoff leaves the concrete quickly and does not head toward the house or a neighbor's lot, and we use a compacted stone base so the slab stays supported through wet seasons.

Large-property projects

Common requests in Belle Meade include: 1. Driveway and motor court replacement in plain, exposed or stamped finishes 2.
