Concrete Contractors in Goodlettsville, TN

Goodlettsville homeowners hiring concrete contractors live in a city that straddles a county line. The northern half of Goodlettsville is in Sumner County and the southern half is in Davidson County. The city incorporated in 1958, when it had just over 3,000 residents, and chose to stay independent in 1963 when Nashville and Davidson County merged. It had 17,789 people and 7,784 housing units at the 2020 census. We build driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs and repair concrete across both halves of town.

Frontier roots, suburban streets

Long hunter Kasper Mansker set up Mansker's Station in the winter of 1779 to 1780 near a salt lick and the stream now called Mansker's Creek. The city is named for A. G. Goodlett, pastor of the local Cumberland Presbyterian Church from 1848 to 1853, and the Bowen-Campbell House, birthplace of Governor William Bowen Campbell, stands in Moss-Wright Park.

Most of the homes our customers own, though, came later. Goodlettsville grew from 13,780 people in 2000 to 15,921 in 2010 and 17,789 in 2020, a steadier pace than many suburbs. That steady growth leaves a wide range of housing ages: mid-century houses near the old center, homes from the 1970s through 1990s on subdivision streets, and newer builds on the edges.

Creek ground and low elevations

Goodlettsville sits at about 479 feet, among the lower spots in the Nashville area, and Mansker's Creek and its branches drain much of the city. Low, creek-side lots tend to have softer, wetter soil. Concrete poured there without a good base often cracks and settles within a few years. Our approach on these lots:

• Dig deeper to get below topsoil and organic material
• Add compacted stone so water drains through the base instead of sitting under the slab
• Grade the edges so runoff moves around the concrete, not under it
• Use reinforcement where the soil is soft or the slab carries heavy loads

What Goodlettsville homeowners ask for

The most common requests we hear are replacing original driveways that have broken into pieces, pouring a patio where there was only grass or a small pad, and fixing front steps that have pulled away from the house. Carports and detached garages on older lots often need new floors as well. On newer streets, owners usually want to extend the driveway or add a walk to the back yard.

Two counties, one set of plans

Because the city spans Davidson and Sumner counties, owners sometimes assume the rules differ by side. For most work on private property inside city limits, Goodlettsville's own departments apply. We confirm whether your project needs a permit before scheduling and call Tennessee 811 so buried utilities are marked before we dig.
