Concrete in Taylors

Concrete work in Taylors, where the driveways are older than the subdivisions in Greer

Taylors sits between Greer and Greenville along Wade Hampton Boulevard, and much of it was built out decades before the current boom. That means established streets, mature trees, and concrete that has been through several hundred Upstate freezes: the work here is as much repair, leveling and replacement as it is new pours.

Taylors is an unincorporated Greenville County community wrapped around Wade Hampton Boulevard, Taylors Road and the Reid School Road area, a few minutes west of Greer. It is older than the growth corridors on the Spartanburg side: a lot of its neighborhoods date from the 1960s through the 1990s, with brick ranches and two-story homes on lots that were graded a generation ago and have long since finished settling. The clay is the same Piedmont clay, but the ground under a Taylors driveway has usually stopped moving, which changes what fails and how we fix it.

What fails in Taylors is the surface and the small slabs. Driveways from the 1970s and 80s have gone through more freeze-thaw cycles than they were ever sealed against, and they scale, flake and spall at the joints. Front walks poured on dirt have settled where the downspouts empty and left a lip at the porch. Stoops have pulled away from the house. Patios added in the 1990s were often poured flat and now hold water against the brick. Those are good candidates for resurfacing, foam leveling and sealing rather than full replacement, and the estimator will say which.

The new work in Taylors is replacement driveways for owners who have decided the patchwork has gone far enough, extensions for a third car, patios and stamped outdoor areas behind houses that were built before anyone expected a back yard to have one, and the occasional retaining wall on the hillier streets toward Paris Mountain. The lots are mature and access is often tighter than on a new build, with trees, fences and landscaping to work around, which the estimator plans for before pricing.

What we pour in Taylors

Driveway replacement on a proper base

Old slabs broken out and hauled, the bed excavated and built up on compacted stone, poured and jointed to last through the next few decades of winters.

Surface repair and resurfacing

Scaled and flaked driveways and patios on a sound base resurfaced with a bonded overlay, then sealed.

Walks and stoops lifted

Settled front walks, garage aprons and steps raised with foam in a morning, far cheaper than tearing them out.

Patios regraded or replaced

Flat patios that hold water against the house replaced with slabs that fall away from it, plain or stamped.

Tight-access jobs planned

Mature trees, fences and plantings worked around, with concrete pumped or wheeled where a truck cannot back in.

Sealing on a schedule

A penetrating sealer every two to three years on the concrete worth keeping.

Concrete services for Taylors homeowners

Asked by Taylors homeowners

Can you come out the same week?

Usually. Taylors is a few minutes from home base, and an estimator can often look at a job within a day or two of the call.

Is it worth repairing a 1980s driveway?

If the base has stopped moving and the slab is level, yes: resurfacing and sealing give it many more years for a fraction of a replacement. If it is cracked into pieces or heaving, the honest answer is a new driveway on a stone base.

My front walk tilts toward the house. What fixes that?

Foam leveling tilts it back if the slab is intact; a replacement poured with the right fall if it is broken. Either way the downspout that caused it gets an extension or a splash block.

Do you handle driveways with big trees nearby?

Yes. Roots that have lifted a slab are cut only where it will not hurt the tree, the slab is replaced on a base that bridges them, and the joints are placed to give any future lift somewhere to go.

Do I need a permit in Taylors?

For a driveway, walk or patio in unincorporated Greenville County, generally no. Footings for a building or a tall retaining wall can need one, and we check before pricing.

Which towns are near Taylors that you also cover?

Greer, Travelers Rest and the Pelham Road side of Greenville are all nearby and on the same schedule.
