Concrete in Boiling Springs

Concrete work in Boiling Springs, for neighborhoods that have had time to settle

Boiling Springs is an established suburb along Highway 9 on the north side of Spartanburg, with mature neighborhoods, big trees and concrete that has been in the ground long enough to show every winter it has seen. Repair, leveling, resurfacing and replacement are the work there, with new patios and driveways behind them.

Boiling Springs is an unincorporated community in Spartanburg County stretched along Highway 9 north of the city, between Inman and the Chesnee side, with Lake Bowen not far to the west. Much of it was built in the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, so its subdivisions are established: the trees have grown up, the lots finished settling years ago, and the driveways, walks and patios have gone through two or three decades of the Upstate's freeze-thaw cycle. Newer streets continue to fill in along Highway 9 and the roads toward Inman, but the character of the work is older-suburb work.

That means the three calls we take most in Boiling Springs are a front walk or step that has settled, a driveway surface that is flaking or spalling at the joints, and a driveway that has finally cracked into enough pieces to replace. The first is a foam lift in a morning. The second, on a slab that is still level, is a resurfacing overlay followed by sealing. The third is a replacement on a compacted stone base, which on a lot that has long since settled will last as long as the house. The estimator probes the base and tells you which you are looking at.

Behind the repairs comes the upgrade work: patios and stamped outdoor areas behind homes that were built with a slab the size of a doormat, driveway extensions for the third car, and the occasional retaining wall where a yard has eroded over the years. Mature trees are the thing to plan around in Boiling Springs: roots under old slabs, and canopies over where a pump or a truck needs to go.

Concrete services for Boiling Springs homeowners

Asked by Boiling Springs homeowners

Is my 1990s driveway worth saving?

If it is level and the base is stable, resurfacing and sealing give it many more years. If sections have dropped or it has cracked into pieces, replacement on a stone base is the better use of the money.

The step at my front door has sunk. Lift or replace?

Lift, if the steps are intact: foam raises them back to the porch in a morning. Replace if they have cracked or the base has washed out.

Can you work around a big oak by the driveway?

Yes. Roots are cut only where it will not harm the tree, the slab is poured on a base that bridges them, and the joints are planned to give any future lift somewhere to go.

Do you pour patios in Boiling Springs?

Yes, on the same stone base as a driveway, graded away from the house, with stamped and broomed finishes to choose from.

Do I need a permit here?

For a driveway, walk or patio in unincorporated Spartanburg County, generally no. A tall retaining wall or a building footing can need one; we check before pricing.
