Concrete Work That Supports Your Property

Patios, Driveways, and Flatwork in Greenville, Texas

When your driveway cracks, your patio settles unevenly, or runoff from your roof floods the foundation in Greenville, concrete work becomes more than cosmetic. Sickels Roofing and Construction, LLC pours patios, driveways, slabs, and flatwork with attention to grading and drainage so water moves away from your home instead of pooling against the foundation or eroding soil under your outdoor structures.

Concrete services include site preparation, grading, forming, rebar placement, pouring, finishing, and curing. In Greenville, where clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, proper base preparation and control joints prevent cracking and shifting. The work is planned alongside roofing, fencing, and outdoor structures so everything ties together without conflicts or rework.

Grading, Base Prep, and Proper Drainage

Your concrete project in Greenville begins with site evaluation to check slope, drainage, and soil conditions. Sickels Roofing and Construction, LLC grades the area to direct water away from structures, compacts the base, installs rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement, and pours concrete in sections sized to prevent stress cracking.

After the concrete cures, you'll see a surface that drains properly without standing water, edges that stay level without sinking, and control joints placed to manage expansion and contraction. Driveways hold vehicle weight without cracking under tire paths, and patios stay flat without tilting toward the house.

Most residential concrete projects take one to three days for pouring and finishing, with a cure time of several days before full use. Hot weather in Greenville requires moisture retention during curing to prevent surface cracking, and freezing temperatures delay pours until conditions stabilize. Soil that's too wet or too dry may require additional compaction or moisture adjustment before concrete goes in. The focus is on durable flatwork that supports long-term use and protects surrounding structures from water damage.

Concrete Questions Come Up Early

Homeowners considering concrete work often want to know how long the surface takes to cure, whether existing slabs can be repaired, and what happens if it rains right after the pour.

What concrete services are available?
Concrete services include patios, driveways, slabs, sidewalks, and flatwork installations. The team also handles grading, drainage planning, and coordination with fencing, decking, and outdoor structures to ensure everything works together.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete takes about seven days to cure enough for light foot traffic and up to twenty-eight days to reach full strength. You should avoid driving on driveways or placing heavy loads on slabs during the initial cure period.
When should I replace a concrete slab?
You should replace a concrete slab when it has multiple large cracks, sections that have settled or tilted, or when water pools on the surface and drains toward your foundation. Small cracks can sometimes be repaired, but widespread damage usually requires replacement.
Why is drainage important for concrete work?
Drainage is important for concrete work because water pooling under slabs or against foundations causes soil erosion, settling, and cracking. Proper grading and sloping direct runoff away from structures and prevent long-term damage to both the concrete and your home.
What base preparation is required for concrete in Greenville?
Base preparation in Greenville requires removing topsoil, compacting the subgrade, and adding a layer of crushed stone or gravel to provide a stable foundation. Clay soil must be properly compacted and tested for moisture before concrete is poured.
