Why Lowell homeowners redo driveways and patios

Most calls start with something you can see, like a driveway cracked straight across, a patio sunk at one corner, or water pooling against the house after a rain. Usually the cause is underneath, in the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on. It got raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled with the dirt.

That's the trade-off I name on every estimate. The base is hidden the day we pour, so it's the first thing people want to cut, while the finish is what everyone sees. I'd keep the base. A fancy finish on soft ground cracks right along with it, while a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives shoes and tires grip, holds up on a packed base.

As a concrete contractor in Bentonville, AR, we plan Lowell jobs the same way, whether it's a driveway, a patio or garage floor concrete that carries a car every day. Joints, curing and drainage get settled before the truck comes, because they decide how a slab ages.

What shapes a concrete job in Lowell

Price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging the base takes, and whether you want rebar, steel that holds a slab together if it cracks, or a decorative finish. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait while fresh concrete gets strong enough to use. I'll give you your own figure after I measure.

Lowell sits in Benton County, and the City of Lowell takes the permit applications for work there. When your job needs one, we handle the application and set up the inspections. We do the same on jobs in Cave Springs, Rogers and Springdale.

Before anything gets formed, I look at where water runs on your lot so the new slab falls away from the house, not toward it. The city keeps a drainage manual with its planning resources, and I check it when a job changes how water leaves a yard. Call (479) 415-5205 or send the form and I'll come out and write you an estimate.

Questions we hear in Lowell

Where do I send a permit application in Lowell, AR?

You email it to the City of Lowell at risk.reduction@lowellarkansas.gov after downloading the form from the city's permits page. The list there names grading and building work but not driveways or patios by name, so check with the city before anyone pours.

How is a building permit fee figured in Lowell?

Lowell multiplies the gross area by a square-foot construction cost and then by a permit fee multiplier. Sewer expansion, Fire/EMS impact and plan review fees are included where they apply, so the fee grows with the size of what's being built.

Does a concrete contractor in Arkansas need a state license?

For most home jobs, yes. Arkansas requires a license from the Residential Contractors Committee to bid on or manage work on an existing single-family home or its property, unless the job costs $2,000 or less and isn't split into smaller contracts to get there. A Limited license covers projects under $50,000, labor and material included. We're licensed and insured.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?

It can still crack, but most of the cracks people hate come from a weak base or from joints cut late or skipped. We dig out and pack the base, then cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack, while the concrete's still fresh.

How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

You'll walk on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. I'll give you the dates for your slab when we set the pour, and we'll plan how you get in and out meanwhile.
