Concrete Contractor in Little Rock, AR

Where Concrete Cracks Is Decided Before the Pour

Concrete cracks. That is normal. Where it cracks, and how soon, gets decided before the truck ever backs up.

A homeowner in the Heights called us last spring about a driveway barely four years old that was already breaking at the apron. When we pulled a piece, the answer was obvious. It had been poured thin, straight onto ground that was never compacted, with no wire and no fiber anywhere in it. It never had a chance. We took it out, built the base properly and poured it right.

Asphalt Rehab is a locally owned concrete contractor in Little Rock, AR, based at 1421 Marshall St. We pour driveways in Hillcrest and Capitol View, sidewalks and steps through the older neighborhoods off Kavanaugh, and slabs, curbs and pads for businesses out along Chenal and Colonel Glenn.

Central Arkansas is hard on flatwork. Our clay holds water, then swells and shrinks through the year. Winter freeze and thaw lifts anything that was not built to move with it. Salt and de icer chew at surfaces that were troweled too early.

None of that means you should expect a bad slab. It means the prep has to account for it.

Concrete Driveways and Approaches

New driveways, replacements and approaches out to the street. We dig out soft ground instead of pouring over it, build and compact a base, set the thickness to match what will park there, and reinforce it properly. Tell us if a work truck or an RV lives on it and we will pour for that instead of guessing.

Sidewalks, Patios and Steps

Walkways, front steps, back patios and porch slabs. People use these every day, so the finish matters as much as the structure. We slope them to drain away from your foundation, tool the joints so cracking goes where we put it, and match existing concrete as closely as the material allows.

Curbs, Gutters and ADA Ramps

Commercial and multi family work. Curb and gutter, wheel stops, dumpster pads, and ADA ramps and landings built to code. If you are fixing a property to pass an inspection we can walk it with you and separate what has to change from what can stay.

Concrete Repair and Replacement

Not everything needs tearing out. We repair spalled surfaces, replace failed sections, rebuild broken edges and take out trip hazards in sidewalks. A cracked but stable slab is often worth patching. A slab sitting on ground that has moved is not, and we will tell you which one you have.

What Goes Into a Slab That Lasts

The work that happens before any concrete shows up:

• Dig out and haul off soft or organic ground instead of burying it
• Build and compact a base that drains
• Set forms to a grade that moves water away from buildings
• Add wire or fiber reinforcement sized to the job
• Pour at full thickness and finish at the right time, never too early
• Cut control joints so the slab cracks where we choose

Why Little Rock Property Owners Call Us

We get called to fix a lot of other people's concrete around this city, and that teaches you exactly what fails here. Thin pours. No base. Joints cut late. Water running toward the slab instead of away from it.

We are locally owned and based at 1421 Marshall St in Little Rock. The person who quotes your job is the person who runs it.

Urgent work moves up. A broken step or a trip hazard where customers walk is a liability and we treat it that way.

Every quote is in writing with thickness and reinforcement spelled out. That detail matters more than people expect, because two concrete bids can match on price and describe completely different pours.
