Concrete Work West of Northport

Buhl is a small unincorporated community about 11.1 miles west-northwest of Tuscaloosa, and our concrete contractors in Buhl work on homes ranging from older farmhouses to newer houses on family land. The community has its own post office, ZIP code 35446, and Buhl Elementary School, part of the Tuscaloosa County School System. Wikipedia says Buhl was named for a Mr. Buhl who worked for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, and slabs for garages and outbuildings, and we repair concrete that has failed.

A National Register house

The Samuel Johnson House in Buhl was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2002. Older homes like it are a reminder that many properties here have been lived on for generations. On older houses we take care where new concrete meets old foundations and brick. A front walk or set of steps should look like it belongs to the house, so we keep the finish simple and the proportions right.

School traffic and driveways

With Buhl Elementary in the community, school traffic is part of daily life on local roads. Driveways that back out onto those roads benefit from a turnaround pad so you can pull out facing forward. We tie a turnaround into the existing driveway, match the finish and set the grade so water does not collect where the two meet.

Ground at 269 feet

Buhl's listed elevation is 269 feet, between the river bottoms near Tuscaloosa and the higher hills to the north. Yards here can slope gently toward creeks and low spots, so we look at where water travels across the lot before we set a slab. A patio set too low collects water. A driveway that crosses the natural drainage path will eventually crack or settle if nothing carries the water past it.

Repairs for older concrete

Many Buhl homes have concrete that has been in place for decades: walks with lifted sections, steps that have settled, and driveways with cracks that open further every summer. We tell you plainly whether a repair will hold or whether replacement is the better choice. Sometimes replacing a single failed panel or a set of steps solves the problem without touching the rest.

Unincorporated area

Buhl has no town government. We check with Tuscaloosa County about any approvals before we pour. Call (205) 656-5328 to set up a visit.

Buhl Questions

Can you add a turnaround so I do not back onto the road?

Yes. We tie a turnaround pad into your driveway, match the finish and set the grade so water does not pool at the joint.

Should I repair or replace my old driveway?

If the panels are level and the cracks are few, replacing one or two panels may be enough. If panels have dropped or water is getting under them, replacement is usually the better choice.

Do you work on older homes?

Yes. We take care where new concrete meets old foundations and keep walks and steps in proportion with the house.
