Concrete Work in a Town With an Industrial Past

Woodstock sits mostly in northern Bibb County with a piece reaching into Tuscaloosa County, and our concrete contractors in Woodstock work mainly on rural homes, family land and newer houses off US 11. The town incorporated in 1996 as the Town of North Bibb and took the Woodstock name, after a long-established local community, by referendum in 2000. It had 986 residents in 2000 and 1,472 in 2020, with 580 housing units. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, and slabs for garages, sheds and shops, and we repair concrete that has failed.

Stagecoach, rail and iron

Settlement here began in the 1820s along the old Tuscaloosa-to-Huntsville stagecoach line, and William Houston received a land grant in 1826. In 1870 the first depot opened for the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, and in 1872 a rail line was built to West Blocton to ship coal. Woodstock became a break and storage yard for coal, iron ore and cotton, with up to eight trains a day stopping at its peak. That same year Giles Edwards moved from Tannehill and built a blast furnace for pig iron here.

Built on fire clay

A local jug factory once used fire clay dug nearby to make bricks, jugs, pots and churns. For a concrete job, clay-rich ground matters. Clay holds water and can soften when it is wet, so a slab poured straight on it can settle unevenly. We strip the topsoil, bring in a stone base and compact it before we pour, and we make sure the finished slab sheds water away from the house.

Higher ground on the plateau edge

Woodstock's listed elevation is 577 feet, among the highest of the towns we serve. Lots here are often wooded and sloped, so driveways climb or drop to reach the house, and back patios may need a step or a thickened edge. On slopes we place control joints where grade changes, use a finish with grip for wet days, and plan how runoff leaves the slab.

Commuting both directions

US 11 passes northwest of the town center, 26 miles to Tuscaloosa and 31 miles to downtown Birmingham, and the nearest Interstate 59 exit is 97, just north of town. Households that commute either way often want a wider driveway, a turnaround pad or an extra parking space, and those are some of our most common Woodstock jobs.

Permits across a county line

Because Woodstock spans Bibb and Tuscaloosa counties, the rules that apply can depend on where your lot sits. We check with the town and the right county before scheduling. Call (205) 656-5328 to set up a visit.

Woodstock Questions

Do clay soils cause problems for concrete?

They can. Clay holds water and can soften, so a slab poured directly on it may settle. We remove topsoil and build a compacted stone base first.

Which county handles my Woodstock address?

Most of Woodstock is in Bibb County, with part in Tuscaloosa County. We confirm what applies to your lot before we schedule.

Can you add a turnaround pad to my driveway?

Yes. A turnaround pad keeps you from backing down a long or sloped drive. We tie it into the existing slab and match the finish.
