Concrete Services in Antioch, TN

Mill Creek and the 2010 Flood

On May 1, 2010, Mill Creek became the first major flood point of the historic Nashville storms, and its water covered I-24 near Antioch. Nashville recorded 13.57 inches of rain over two days. Many Antioch properties still carry the lessons.

Slabs Undermined by Water

Floodwater and the runoff after it washed fines out from under patios, walks and driveway edges across the creek corridor. Some of those slabs look fine from above but sound hollow when tapped. We check for voids before quoting, and if the base is gone, we replace rather than patch.

Grading for Heavy Rain

Antioch sits in the Mill Creek watershed, and the soil here is slow-draining clay over limestone. We give every slab a clear path for water and avoid pouring anything that blocks the natural flow across a lot.

Floodplain Properties

After 2010, Metro Water Services started a home buyout program to purchase flood-destroyed houses and turn those lots into open space. If your property is in a mapped floodplain, Metro rules on new impervious surface apply, and we confirm them before drawing up plans.

Concrete for 1970s and 1980s Antioch Homes

Antioch boomed in the 1970s after Nashville's sewer system reached the area and farmland opened up for subdivisions and apartments. Hickory Hollow Mall opened in 1978 at the center of that growth.

Original Driveways and Walks

Concrete from that era is now pushing fifty years old. If yours is spalling, heaving or broken into chunks, a two-car replacement typically costs $4,000 to $7,000, with removal of the old slab at $2 to $6 per square foot. Our concrete driveways page covers base and thickness.

Sunken Sidewalks and Steps

Settled walks create trip hazards, especially on rentals where the landlord carries the liability. Lifting is usually the fastest fix, and our concrete leveling and mudjacking service can bring a panel back flush in an afternoon.

Rental and Multi-Family Properties

A lot of Antioch housing is duplexes, townhomes and single-family rentals. Owners want work that holds up to tenants and does not need repeat visits.

Parking Pads and Extra Spaces

Adding a side parking pad keeps cars off the lawn and off the street. A plain broom slab runs $6 to $10 per square foot, and we pour it thick enough for daily car traffic.

Back Patios for Tenants

A simple 12 by 20 foot broom-finished patio usually costs $2,000 to $3,500 and adds real usable space to a rental. More finish options are on our concrete patios page.

Newer Townhomes Toward Cane Ridge

The newer communities on the Cane Ridge side were built quickly on graded farmland, and settling around stoops and garage aprons is common in the first ten years. We extend small builder patios and lift sunken entries so the step up to the door stays even.

Permits, Utilities and Rock

Antioch has no separate city hall, so the rules come from Metro government.

Metro Right-of-Way Work

Pouring an apron or replacing the public walk in front of your home falls under NDOT, and Metro wants the application in at least two business days ahead. Excavation repairs in the right-of-way must be finished within three months of the permit date, which is one more reason we keep jobs moving.

Tennessee 811

Antioch's older streets have a tangle of gas, water, sewer and cable lines. We call 811 and wait for the marks before we cut.

Hitting Limestone

Bedrock can show up a foot down in parts of southeast Davidson County. We build a 10 to 15 percent contingency into estimates for rock and clay, and you only pay it if we need it.

Questions We Hear in Antioch

Straight answers for homeowners and property owners.

Do you work on commercial lots near Hickory Hollow?

Yes. We pour curbs, sidewalks, dumpster pads and parking areas for businesses, and commercial work is priced per project after a site visit.

Can work be done while a tenant lives there?

Usually. We schedule around access, block off fresh concrete and give the tenant a clear time when the drive can be used again.

What is your smallest job?

We carry a minimum of roughly $500 to $1,500, which is typical for Nashville crews. A single sidewalk panel or a step repair usually fits.

How long does a driveway replacement take?

Tear-out and forming usually take a day or two, the pour takes one day, and you stay off it with cars for about a week. We give you the full timeline at the estimate. Rain in the forecast can push the pour back a day, and we call you as soon as we know.
