Concrete work in Lyman, from the mill village streets to the new subdivisions
Lyman is a small Spartanburg County town between Greer and Spartanburg with two kinds of concrete: the old streets around the former mill, where the slabs have seen a lifetime of winters, and the new subdivisions going in on the fields around town, where the fill is still settling. We work in both.
Lyman sits along Highway 129 and the Middle Tyger River on the corridor between Greer and Spartanburg, close to Duncan and Wellford, with Lake Lyman and the river on its edges. The town grew up around a textile mill, and the mill-village streets near the center still have the compact lots, older homes and original concrete of that era: narrow driveways, front walks poured generations ago, stoops that have settled and steps that have spalled. Around that core, the past decade has brought the same subdivision growth as Duncan, with new homes on graded clay along the roads out of town.
In the older part of Lyman the work is repair, leveling and replacement. Walks that have dropped where the gutter empties are lifted with foam; flaked driveways on a sound base are resurfaced; steps that have crumbled are rebuilt; and driveways that have cracked into pieces come out and are replaced on a compacted stone base, often wider than the original because the cars are bigger now. In the new subdivisions the work is what it is across the corridor: builder driveways that need replacing on a proper base, first patios behind new homes, and shop and garage slabs on the larger lots.
Lyman's lots near the river and the lake bring one more thing to watch: low spots and wet ground. The estimator checks where the water goes and how wet the base is before pricing, because a slab poured on wet clay without a stone base and drainage will not last, and a driveway that becomes the low point of the yard will hold water every time it rains.

Asked by Lyman homeowners
Do you work on the small older lots in Lyman?
Yes. Tight driveways, close neighbors and no room for a mixer truck are routine; the concrete is pumped or wheeled in and the schedule is set with the neighbors in mind.
Can a settled walk near the river be lifted?
If the slab is intact, yes, with foam, which is waterproof and does not add weight to soft ground. If the base has turned to mud, the walk is replaced on stone with a drain.
Is a new driveway in Lyman the same price as in Greer?
The same per-square-foot ranges apply; the ground, the access and the removal of the old slab are what move a Lyman price.
Can you widen my old driveway?
Yes. Many mill-era driveways are a single car wide; we widen or replace them, with the new section doweled to the old or the whole slab replaced.
Do you pour slabs for metal buildings in Lyman?
Yes, to the building's drawings, with footings and a county inspection where the size requires a permit.
How far is Lyman from your base?
A short drive along the corridor from Greer; crews are in the Duncan, Lyman and Wellford area most weeks.
