Concrete Contractors in Smyrna, TN

Smyrna homeowners hiring concrete contractors live in a town that has changed fast. Smyrna had 13,647 people in 1990 and 53,070 at the 2020 census, and its housing count roughly doubled from 10,016 units in 2000 to 20,413 in 2020. That means most driveways and patios in town are less than 30 years old, but plenty of older ones are reaching the end of their run too. We build new driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs and repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

Built around a base and a plant

Smyrna first incorporated in 1869, lost its charter, and re-incorporated in 1915. Sewart Air Force Base opened in 1941 as a bomber training field and was scheduled to close in 1971. Then Nissan built its plant in the early 1980s, and the first vehicle rolled off the line in 1983. Each of those eras left housing behind.

• Mid-century homes near the old base area often have single-car drives and small stoops
• 1980s and 1990s homes built as the plant grew have driveways and patios now 25 to 40 years old
• Homes from the 2000s onward are on newer streets where the most common requests are add-ons

Knowing roughly when a house was built tells us a lot about what we will find under the old slab and how it was likely poured.

Water on two sides

The Stones River and Stewarts Creek are Smyrna's main waterways, and parts of Percy Priest Lake lie inside town limits. Low ground near those waterways can stay wet, and yards that drain toward them push a lot of runoff across concrete. We check the grade before we plan, keep patios and drives pitched away from the house, and use a compacted stone base so water drains through instead of softening the soil.

Sam Davis and older properties

The Sam Davis Home sits on a 160-acre plantation site and is the town's most important historical site. Older farmhouses and rural lots on the outskirts sometimes have long gravel drives that owners want to pave with concrete. On a long drive, the base matters more than anything. We grade, add and compact stone where needed, and pour a slab thick enough for the vehicles that will use it, including trucks and trailers.
