Concrete work in Simpsonville, where every new back yard is waiting for a patio
Simpsonville is south of Greenville in the fast-growing lower half of the county, full of subdivisions built in the last fifteen years with a driveway, a front walk and a bare back yard. Patios, outdoor living slabs and stamped finishes are the calls we take most there, with the driveway replacements following a few years behind the builders.
Simpsonville is one of the fastest-growing towns in Greenville County, spread along Fairview Road, Harrison Bridge Road and the I-385 corridor south of Mauldin, with Five Forks and the Woodruff Road side to its east. The housing is overwhelmingly newer: subdivision after subdivision of two-story homes on lots that were graded from farmland in the past two decades. Most came with the minimum concrete a builder provides, and most of their owners have since decided the back yard should be more than grass.
So the work in Simpsonville is heavily outdoor living: patios sized for a dining set and a fire pit, stamped and colored slabs that match the house's brick and stone, pool decks, pads for hot tubs and outdoor kitchens, and the side paths and steps that connect them. Every one of them is poured the same way as a driveway, on an excavated bed and a compacted stone base, and graded away from the foundation, because Simpsonville's lots are graded clay like the rest of the Upstate and a patio poured on topsoil heaves the same way.
The second wave of work is now arriving: driveway replacement for homes from the 2000s and 2010s whose builder slabs have cracked at the joints or dropped at the garage, leveling for the ones that only settled, and extensions for households that have outgrown a two-car driveway. HOAs are common in Simpsonville and many have rules on driveway width, finishes and visible concrete, so the estimator asks about the covenants before pricing anything that faces the street.
What we pour in Simpsonville
Patios and outdoor living slabs
Laid out on site for how you use the yard, poured on stone, graded away from the house, plain or decorative.
Stamped and decorative finishes
Patterns and colors chosen against the house's brick and trim, with borders that hide the joints.
Pool decks and hot tub pads
Non-slip finishes with drainage, and thickened reinforced pads for the loads.
Driveway replacement and extensions
Builder driveways replaced on a compacted base; third-car extensions doweled to the existing slab.
Leveling instead of replacing
Settled driveway sections and walks lifted with foam when the slab is intact.
HOA paperwork
Finishes, widths and drawings supplied to the architectural committee before the job is scheduled.

Asked by Simpsonville homeowners
How big should our patio be?
Allow about twelve feet square for a dining set and more for a fire pit seating area. We mark it on the grass with you before the estimate so you can walk it.
Can the patio match the stone on the front of the house?
A stamped pattern and color can come close to a stone look, and a broomed field with a stamped border often reads better than full stamping. Samples come to the site.
Does our HOA need to approve a patio?
Many Simpsonville HOAs want to approve anything visible from the street or a neighbor's lot, and some have rules on driveway width. Bring the guidelines to the estimate and we price to them.
The driveway dropped at the garage on a 2012 house. Lift or replace?
If the slab is in one piece, lift. If it has cracked into sections, replace on a compacted base. The estimator tells you which on the first visit.
Do you do pool decks?
Yes, with a broom or exposed-aggregate finish for grip, a drain, and coping details worked out with the pool contractor.
Is Simpsonville far for you?
It is the far end of our Greenville County coverage, but crews are there regularly, especially for patio season in spring and fall.
