Concrete Patios, Driveways & Retaining Walls
Clean, Durable Concrete Work Built to Last
Concrete is one of the most visible parts of your home. When it’s done right, it adds function, structure, and curb appeal. When it’s rushed, it cracks, settles, and drains poorly.
At Cahaba Contracting, we build concrete patios, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, and stamped concrete with a focus on proper preparation, clean finishing, and long-term performance.
​
Concrete Services We Offer
Concrete Patios
A concrete patio creates a solid foundation for outdoor living. Whether it’s a simple gathering space or the base for a future covered patio or pergola, we design patios around how you actually use your space—not just what fits on paper.
​
Concrete Driveways
Driveways see daily wear and heavy loads. We pour driveways with proper thickness, reinforcement, and slope to handle traffic while maintaining clean edges and smooth transitions.
​
Sidewalks & Walkways
Walkways should feel natural and safe. We build sidewalks and paths that guide foot traffic cleanly around the home while controlling drainage and eliminating trip hazards.
​
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls must manage soil pressure and water—not just look good. We build walls that are properly reinforced, drained, and integrated into the landscape for long-term stability.
​
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete offers the durability of concrete with the appearance of stone, brick, or tile. It’s a great option for patios, walkways, and decorative areas where you want a higher-end finish without high maintenance.
​
Why Proper Concrete Prep Matters
Concrete failures usually start below the surface. Skipped steps during preparation lead to cracking, settling, and water issues down the road.
We focus on:
-
Proper grading and base preparation
-
Clean forms and intentional layout
-
Correct slope and drainage control
-
Reinforcement where required
-
Consistent finishing and detail work
The result is concrete that looks clean when it’s poured—and stays that way.
​
Is Concrete the Right Choice?
Concrete is an excellent option when you want:
-
A low-maintenance patio that won’t shift or rot
-
A durable driveway built for everyday use
-
Safe, clean walkways around your home
-
Retaining walls that actually manage grade and drainage
-
A stamped finish that elevates curb appeal
