Spartanburg Concrete Contractor pours and repairs concrete in Roebuck, a community of 2,357 people in Spartanburg County. With about 550 people per square mile, Roebuck has more room than the city, so many jobs are long drives, patios, and pads for sheds or campers.

Concrete for Roebuck homes

Roebuck grew from 1,725 people in 2000 to 2,357 in 2020. Newer homes often need a first patio or a wider drive. Older ones may have slabs that are starting to crack or pull away from the house.

What we pour here

Most calls are for driveways, patios, and removing old concrete before a new pour. We also build retaining walls where a yard needs to hold back soil.

Plan your project

Send the size, a photo, and what the space is for. We will check the slope and how the truck can reach the spot, then give you a clear plan.

Taking out old concrete before a new pour

When a slab is too far gone to fix, the old concrete has to come out first. Here is what that usually looks like:

  1. Buried lines are marked. Calling 811 before any digging is the standard way to request that.
  2. The old slab is broken into pieces and hauled away.
  3. The ground underneath is checked. Soft spots are dug out and filled with packed stone.
  4. Forms are set, and the new concrete is poured.

The base step matters most. If the old slab failed because the ground under it washed out, pouring on that same ground will only repeat the problem.

Retaining walls on sloped yards

When a yard slopes toward the house or a drive, soil can wash down in heavy rain. A retaining wall holds the soil back and makes a flat area above or below it.

The part of a wall you cannot see matters most. A good wall sits on a solid footing and has a way for water to drain out from behind it. Water that builds up behind a wall pushes on it, and that pressure is a common reason walls lean or crack.

Short walls around a garden bed are simple. Taller walls hold back much more weight and may need a design from an engineer. Your county may also have rules about wall height, so check before you build.

Pads for campers and trailers

Parking a camper or boat trailer on grass can leave ruts and let the tires sink. A concrete pad gives it a firm, clean place to sit.

  • Size the pad a few feet longer and wider than the camper, so you can walk around it.
  • Plan for the weight. A loaded camper is much heavier than a car, so the slab and base need to be thick enough.
  • Think about how you will back in. A wider spot at the entry makes it easier to line up.
  • Check local rules or HOA rules about where campers can be parked.

If you want power at the pad, plan the conduit before the pour so it can run under the concrete.

A pad also makes it easier to check tires and level the camper before a trip. Once the pad is set, gravel or plants around it can soften the look.

About Roebuck

Roebuck is named for Benjamin Roebuck, an officer in the Revolutionary War, according to Wikipedia. It is home to Walnut Grove Plantation, a preserved 18th-century farmhouse. Kate Moore, a daughter of its first owners, was a scout for General Daniel Morgan at the Battle of Cowpens. Smith's Tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Concrete for family properties

Homes and small businesses here need practical concrete, such as drives, patios, and walks. A clean cut, a good base, and the right joints help each piece last.

Roebuck questions

Can you pour a new patio? Yes. Share the size and shape.

Can you remove old concrete first? Yes, when needed.

Can a wall be built next to a driveway? Yes. We plan the footing so it does not undercut the drive.

Why is my old wall leaning? Often it is water pressure behind it or a weak footing. We can look and tell you if it can be fixed.
