Concrete Contractors in Lake View, AL

Lake View is one of the fastest-growing towns in the area, and most calls to our concrete contractors in Lake View come from owners of newer homes. The town incorporated in 1998 and had 1,357 residents in 2000, 1,943 in 2010 and 3,560 in 2020, an 83 percent jump in one decade. Housing units nearly doubled over the same ten years, from 700 to 1,377. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, and garage and shed slabs, and we fix concrete that has cracked, settled or scaled.

Built for commuters

Wikipedia describes Lake View as roughly halfway between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham along Interstates 20 and 59, and that location drives its growth. Alabama State Route 216 runs east from Tuscaloosa to Bucksville at I-20/59 Exit 100, and its own route description names Brookwood and Lake View as the largest towns along it. Households here often have several vehicles, so we get many requests for wider driveways, extra parking pads and side-entry garage aprons.

Water in the name

The town is mostly in Tuscaloosa County, with a small piece in Jefferson County, and about a tenth of its area is water according to the census figures. Lots near water or on slopes that drain toward it need extra care. We set every patio and walk to shed water away from the house, and on lots that slope toward a lake or creek we keep fresh concrete and bare soil from washing downhill during construction.

New-house concrete, five to fifteen years in

Concrete poured during a quick build-out can look fine for years before problems show. Common Lake View issues include a garage apron that cracked because the base under it was not compacted, a patio that dropped an inch at the outer edge, and walks that hold puddles after a storm. On a visit we check the base, the slab thickness at an edge, and the joint layout, then tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.

Iron history next door

Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, about 1,500 acres near McCalla in the Bucksville area, preserves three charcoal blast furnaces built from 1859 to 1862 and burned by Union cavalry on March 31, 1865. The old furnaces are a reminder of how long people have been building with stone and iron on this side of the county.
