Concrete Services in Gastonia, NC
Charlotte Concrete Services pours new concrete and replaces worn-out slabs in Gastonia: driveways, carport and garage floors, patios, front walks, steps and retaining walls.
Gastonia is the Gaston County seat, 80,411 people at the 2020 census, crossed by I-85, US 321 and Franklin Boulevard (US 29/74). Frame mill houses built around Loray Mill from the early 1900s to the 1920s and brick ranches from the 1950s to 1970s make up much of its housing. That age, plus Piedmont red clay, explains most cracked and sunken concrete here.
We work in York Chester, the Loray village, Gardner Park and downtown. Up I-77 on Lake Norman, we also pour in Mooresville.

Concrete Services in Gastonia, NC
Concrete for Gastonia's Mill Houses and Ranches
The Loray district holds hundreds of early 1900s frame houses, and their concrete is on its second or third round of problems.
Carport and Garage Slabs
Thin carport slabs crack under heavier vehicles. We break them out, compact a 4-inch graded aggregate base and pour a reinforced concrete slab.
Driveways Built Too Narrow
Widening a one-car driveway is our most common request. New concrete runs $8-$14 per square foot, so a 10-by-30-foot lane is about $2,400-$4,200 before tear-out.
Back Patios for Renovated Houses
A broom-finished concrete patio runs $7-$11 per square foot and can be stamped.
York Chester and Downtown
The oldest streets and the rebuilt downtown sit blocks apart.
The City's Historic Neighborhood
York Chester's Craftsman houses have short front walks stepping up from the street. We rebuild them on the original line.
Townhomes and Storefronts Downtown
Infill townhomes and the FUSE District mean small pours, tight access and management sign-off.
Permits, Roads and Pour Scheduling
The City of Gastonia issues its own building permits, and a few points come up on every job.
Retaining Walls
Many lots step down from the street, so we plan footing and drainage before submitting.
Driveways on State Routes
US 321 and Franklin Boulevard are NCDOT roads, so a driveway opening onto either needs an NCDOT driveway permit.
Truck Timing on Event Days
CaroMont Health Park events and I-85 backups slow Franklin Boulevard, so we book morning pours.
Catawba Creek, Clay and Spring Rain
Catawba Creek runs through town to the South Fork, and many lots drain to it.
Wet Springs and Settling
Spring rain softens the clay under old slabs. A good base and pitched surfaces break that cycle.
Flower Beds Against Concrete
Beds against a walk hold water, so we add a slight curb or gravel strip.
Gastonia Homeowner Questions
What people ask before we start.
Is it worth leveling a sunken carport slab?
Only if it is in one piece. Most are too cracked; replacement is the better value.
What does an old driveway cost to replace?
With removal, $10-$16 per square foot, about $6,000-$9,600 for 600 square feet. Removal alone is $2-$6 per square foot.
When can I drive on it?
After 7 days for cars; hold heavy trucks until design strength at 28 days.
Do you work through the winter?
Yes, on days above 40°F; cold snaps shift pours while tear-out continues.
