Concrete contractor in Edwardsville, AL

Edwardsville, the county's former seat

Edwardsville was the county seat of Cleburne County until 1906, when a countywide vote that December moved the courthouse to Heflin. US Route 78 and State Highway 4 run the length of town, northeast to southwest, and they're the roads most jobs here get reached by.

Edwardsville's edge of the Talladega National Forest

Edwardsville sits on the eastern border of the Talladega National Forest, the same forest that reaches up toward Heflin and out past Fruithurst. A lot backed up against forest land brings its own considerations, mainly around clearing and grading before a pour ever starts.

Trees close to a building site mean roots and stumps that have to be cleared before the forms go in, and describing the lot ahead of time helps us plan around what's there.

What does a forest-edge lot mean for a pad or driveway?

A metal building foundation here starts with the carport or steel building's own drawings, squared up before the forms go up. We check the forms against the drawings before the pour. Concrete driveways get the same attention, whether it's a full new pour or an older drive widened out for a second vehicle, with thickness set by what will park on it.

Foundations for a house, a garage or a shed on a wooded lot

A house and a detached garage each get a foundation built to their own plans, home foundations for one and garage and shop foundations for the other, each sized to what it's holding up. A footing for a shed, barn or addition still needs its own depth worked out here, not a single number for every structure on the lot.

A patio or a door landing, with Fruithurst and Heflin nearby

A concrete patio here can stay plain, or pick up color and a pattern through stamped concrete instead. Neither one has to match whatever's already out front, and both start from the same forms and base. Slabs and flatwork cover the smaller pours too, like a landing at the door or a pad for a generator.

Fruithurst, Heflin and Ranburne are the other Cleburne County towns we reach from this end, and Piedmont, over the line in Calhoun County, isn't far past them either.
