Concrete Work in Green Hills

Green Hills homeowners looking for concrete contractors are in one of Nashville's most established neighborhoods. Green Hills runs along Hillsboro Pike south of downtown, bounded by I-440 on the north, Harding Place on the south, Estes Road on the west and Lealand Lane on the east. Small-scale residential building began in the 1930s, but the area did not fill in until after World War II. We replace driveways, patios, walks and steps on older homes and pour new concrete for infill houses.

Ranch homes and big lots

The neighborhood was originally made up mainly of brick-veneer ranch houses on large lots. Those homes are now 60 to 80 years old, and their concrete has been through a lot. Typical requests include:

Driveway replacements where the original slab has broken up or been patched too many times
Front walks and steps lifted by mature trees
Back patios that have settled toward the house
Garage and carport floors with deep cracks

The homes in Green Hills originally used septic systems, and sewers were added well after the houses were built. When we dig out old concrete on these lots, we keep an eye out for old lines and fill, and we call Tennessee 811 before digging so active utilities are marked.

Infill on subdivided lots

In recent years many of the original large lots have been subdivided for denser building. New homes on those lots often sit closer together, with narrower driveways, shared drainage paths and less room for runoff. When we pour on an infill lot, grading is the top priority: the new driveway and patio must not send water onto the neighbor's property or back toward either foundation.

Near the mall

The Mall at Green Hills began as a strip mall in the early 1950s and was one of Nashville's first sizable developments of its kind. Streets near the commercial core see more traffic and more on-street parking, which matters for scheduling a pour, parking the concrete truck and keeping the fresh slab protected. We plan the day so the truck has room and the new concrete stays off-limits until it is ready.

Finishes that suit the neighborhood

Green Hills homeowners often want concrete that looks finished without looking flashy. Options we offer include: 1. A clean broom finish with crisp tooled edges 2. Colored concrete in muted tones that pair with brick 3. Stamped patterns for patios and walks 4. Borders in a contrasting finish to frame a walk or patio

We show samples during the estimate so you can see the difference in person.

Green Hills Questions

Can you replace a driveway on a tight Green Hills infill lot?

Yes. Tight lots take more planning for forms, truck access and drainage. We set the grade so water drains to the street or yard, not onto the neighbor's property.

Tree roots have cracked my front walk. What are my options?

We can replace the lifted sections, reroute the walk slightly or bridge smaller roots with a thicker slab. For large roots, an arborist should weigh in before any cutting.

Do you offer colored concrete that goes with brick?

Yes. We offer muted color options and borders that pair well with brick homes, and we bring samples to the estimate.

How long will a new driveway block my Green Hills garage?

Plan on about a week before driving a car on new concrete, depending on weather. If you need access sooner, we can pour the driveway in two halves so one side stays usable, or schedule around a trip. Splitting the pour adds a construction joint down the middle, which we place so it lines up with the garage door and looks deliberate.
