Concrete contractor in Anniston, AL

The other Calhoun County towns we reach from Anniston

Interstate 20 runs along the city's southern edge, and we also reach Oxford, Jacksonville and Piedmont, the other Calhoun County towns, along with Heflin in neighboring Cleburne County. We pour the same range of work in each one, from driveways and patios to full foundations.

Is Anniston in the mountains?

Many Anniston lots climb or drop between the street and the backyard, and that grade decides how much base work a pour needs.

On a sloped lot, expect more base work before the forms go in, whatever's being poured, from a patio off the back door to a full foundation. We look at the slope before setting the forms.

What comes first in Anniston: foundations for a house, a garage or a steel building

Home foundations for a new house follow the house's own engineered plans. A detached garage or shop foundation answers to a completely separate layout, built for whatever's going up on that part of the lot.

A metal building foundation takes its shape from a carport or steel building's manufacturer drawings. An addition gets a footing sized to its own plans instead, not a single number for every structure on the lot.

A concrete driveway on one of Anniston's sloped lots

A concrete driveway here often runs from the street back to the garage, crossing whatever grade the lot has along the way. Tell us if the lot slopes and whether a sedan or a work truck will be parking there day to day; either one changes what the base needs, how thick the slab gets poured, and whether it carries steel reinforcement.

Concrete patios in Anniston: plain, or stamped for pattern and color

A patio's size comes down to how the family plans to use it, and that gets settled before the site is leveled.

Stamped concrete adds pattern and color; otherwise the patio gets a plain broom finish. Both start from the same forms and base, with the finish chosen before the pour goes in.

Walkways, back steps and pads for outdoor equipment

Even a short walkway, a set of back steps or an equipment pad needs graded, compacted ground under it before the flatwork goes in, the same as any larger pour.

Where do I get a building permit in Anniston?

The City of Anniston Building Department handles construction permits for homeowners in town. A new slab, driveway or foundation typically starts with a call there first, to confirm what the plans need before work gets scheduled.
