Clinton homes and the concrete around them
Clinton sits on the west side of the metro, across Jackson from our home base in Brandon. On jobs here we see a bit of everything, from the streets around the brick-lined center of Olde Towne to newer neighborhoods farther out, plus shops, offices and churches with lots and walks of their own. Most calls are for driveways, back patios, front walks and slabs for shops and additions.
A lot of the concrete in Clinton has been down long enough for the ground under it to move, and that's what shapes the job. Before we talk about a new surface, I look at what the old slab sat on and where the rain goes, because those two things decide whether the new one stays put.
Concrete work we do for Clinton homes
Concrete driveway building
A Clinton driveway that has sunk at the garage lip or cracked across the middle usually needs the old slab out and the base packed again before we pour.
Concrete patio construction
Many patios we see are small slabs that have settled toward the back door, so we slope the new one away from the house and let rain run off.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walkway the look of brick or stone in one pour, with no loose pieces to shift or wash out after heavy rain.
Concrete sidewalk building
We replace front walks and side paths that have heaved at a tree root or broken into uneven edges, which happens most on older lots with big trees.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or uneven garage floor can be broken out and poured again, with the new slab set so water runs out the door instead of pooling.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed-stone finishes dress up an entry or a patio, and we walk through the options with you before anything is poured.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a sloped yard keeps washing dirt onto a driveway or patio after storms, a concrete retaining wall holds the bank back so the slab below stays clean.
Concrete floor installation
We pour floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, with the base packed and a plastic sheet under the slab to keep ground moisture from coming up.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to drain away from the water and give wet feet some grip, so we slope it toward the yard and finish it for traction.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps that have pulled away from the house or crumbled at the edges get torn out and formed again, with even heights so nobody trips.
Slab foundation building
For a new house, addition or shop, we dig out and pack the pad first, because a slab foundation is only as steady as the ground under it.
Foundation installation
When you're building or adding on, we set the foundation the framing sits on, with rebar, steel bars that hold the concrete together, laid inside it.
Concrete parking lot building
Business and office lots take heavy traffic and a lot of runoff, so we pour them thicker than a driveway and grade them to drain.
Concrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete under porches, decks, additions and walls, and we dig them down to firm ground so what sits on them doesn't sink.
Foundation raising
If floors slope or doors stick because part of the house has settled, we find out why it dropped before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
We saw openings in slabs and walls for doors, plumbing or a new walk, and cut out broken sections cleanly so the rest isn't cracked by hammering.

Working in Clinton: who handles permits and licenses
In Clinton, the city's Community Development office oversees zoning, permits and the city's ordinances, so that's where the answer comes from on whether your concrete job needs a permit. We get that question settled before a pour date goes on the calendar, so it shapes the schedule up front instead of stopping a job halfway. The same office handles city business licenses, and the state board licenses contractors, so there are two things you can check on anyone you hire, and the questions below say how.
We're a concrete contractor based in Brandon, MS, and we work across the cities around it, from Clinton up to Canton and over to Byram. What moves the price of a job here is how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs, how big the slab is and the finish you pick, and the schedule turns on the permit question, the weather and the cure, the wait while fresh concrete hardens before you use it. When I walk the job with you, I explain what goes into the quote so you see your own figure and the reasons behind it.
Why Clinton driveways and patios crack and sink
The driveways and patios we're called about here usually failed from underneath. A base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed settles as the dirt shifts, a slab that falls toward the house sends rain at the foundation, and big trees on older lots push walks up at the roots. So we dig down to firm ground, pack the base and check where the water will run before we set a form. If the budget's tight, I'd put the money in the base before a fancy finish, because the base is buried on day one and it's the part you can't fix later without tearing the slab out.
Rain matters for another reason too. The city points out that sediment, oil, fertilizer and other runoff can wash into local streams during a storm, and it asks residents to cut down on it, so on a tear-out we keep the dug-out dirt contained and rinse tools and chutes away from the street drains.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Clinton
Here's how a job in Clinton goes from your first call to the last walk-through, and who you'll deal with at each step.
Call or send a message
Call (601) 591-9020 or send the form with a few lines about what you want. We get back to you and set a time for me to come out to Clinton.
Walk the site with me
I look at the old concrete, the ground and where the water runs, hear what you want, then write the quote out so you can see what's included and what isn't. We settle the permit question here too, before any work starts.
Our crew preps and pours
Our crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours, and I'm on site checking the work as it goes. While the slab is fresh we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give it a planned place to crack instead of across the middle.
Walk the finished job together
At the end I walk the finished concrete with you and answer whatever questions you've got. I'll tell you when it's cured enough to walk on and when it's ready for your car, since that wait is what lets the concrete reach its strength.
Questions about concrete work in Clinton, MS
Call (601) 591-9020Who pulls the permit for a concrete job in Clinton, MS?
When your job needs a permit, we handle it as your licensed contractor so it isn't left on you. We sort out whether it needs one with you before any work starts, and the city's Community Development office is the one that makes that call.
Does a concrete contractor need a city business license to work in Clinton?
Yes. Clinton requires every for-profit business operating in the city to hold a business license, and contractor is one of the business types on the city's application. Questions about a business license go to Community Development at 601-924-2256.
How do I check a contractor's license in Clinton, MS?
Contractors in Clinton are licensed by the state, so you check with the Mississippi State Board of Public Contractors, the licensing authority for the whole state. That's separate from the city business license, and we're licensed and insured.
Does Clinton inspect rental houses?
Yes. A city ordinance requires all rental housing in Clinton to be registered with the city and inspected, and inspectors check each property against state and local property maintenance laws. If you own a rental with broken steps or a heaved walk, we can look at it and quote the repair.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Clinton, MS?
I can't give you an honest number until I've seen the site, because the price turns on the driveway's size and thickness, what has to be torn out and how much base work the ground needs. Steel reinforcement, a decorative finish and a hard spot for the truck to reach add to it, while a plain broom finish, a lightly brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, keeps it simpler. The quote is free and written out so you can see what's in it.
What causes concrete driveways and patios to crack in Clinton?
Concrete usually cracks where the base underneath settles, where control joints were cut late or skipped, or where it was poured in midday heat that left a weak, dusty top. We pack the base, pour early on hot days and cut joints on time, and while no slab is crack-proof, a hairline crack along a joint is the kind we plan for.
