Driveways and patios around Bentonville homes
Bentonville is just up the road from us in Springdale, and the calls we get here are a real mix: cracked driveways at older houses closer to downtown, patios and steps for families settling into newer neighborhoods, and slabs for people building from scratch. We do the same work next door in Rogers and Centerton, and down in Farmington.
On newer lots the dirt has usually been moved around, and fill that wasn't packed keeps settling, which is how a young driveway ends up with one sunken corner. Older yards have had years for water to find its own path, sometimes right under the old slab. So I look at what the concrete will sit on and where the water runs before we talk about anything else, because those two things decide how long a slab lasts. That groundwork, along with the size of the job and the finish you pick, is also what moves the price most.
Our services in Bentonville, AR
On a sloped Bentonville lot, rain often runs down the driveway toward the garage door. We dig out soft dirt, pack a solid base and set the slab's fall so water heads away from your house.
Backyard patios here often sit right against the house, where a slab that tips the wrong way sends water toward the foundation. We check where your yard drains first, then form the patio to shed it.
A garage floor holds your car's weight, so a sunken or cracked one usually means the dirt underneath settled. Our garage floor concrete starts with a packed base and rebar to tie the slab together.
Front steps on older Bentonville houses tend to pull away from the porch as the ground under them settles. We tear them out and pour new steps on a dug-out, packed base with even step heights.
A new Bentonville home's slab has to be level and sit high enough that water stays outside. We prep the subgrade, the packed ground it rests on, before any steel or concrete goes in.
Sloped backyards in Bentonville can push dirt and water against a patio or driveway edge. A concrete retaining wall holds the hill back, and we give water a way out behind it.

How a Bentonville concrete job goes once you call
Call or send the form
Call (479) 231-3503 or send the form below and tell us what's going on with your driveway, patio or steps. We'll set a time for me to come out and see it.
I look it over myself
I walk the job with you, check what the ground is like and where water goes after a rain, and ask plenty of questions about how you use the space. You'll have an estimate in hand before you decide anything, and I'm happy to talk through any choice that changes it.
Permits, then the pour
If the job needs a permit, I find out what the city wants, handle the paperwork and book the inspections, and the city reviews the plans before it issues the permit so any problem gets flagged before work starts. Our crew then does the work with me on site, from packing the base to cutting control joints, the grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack instead of a random one.
Walk the finished job together
Before we pack up, we walk the finished job with you and go over curing, the wait while concrete hardens and gains strength before it takes feet or tires. I'll tell you plainly when it's ready for each and what to keep an eye on.
Bentonville concrete questions answered
How do I find out if my concrete project needs a permit in Bentonville?
Ask the city's Building & Fire Safety Division, the office in the fire department that issues building permits, before you pour. Its posted list names building, pool, fence, demolition, plumbing and electrical permits but doesn't single out driveways or patios, so the list alone doesn't settle it for your job. When a permit is needed, I check what the division wants, take care of the paperwork and book the inspections, and we keep you posted.
When can concrete work start on a permitted job in Bentonville?
Not until the permit is paid for and issued, because the city's posted guidance says no work of any kind can start before then. Starting early can bring added fees or a stop-work notice, so on a permitted job I schedule the crew once the permit is in hand, and from there the weather and the inspections set the pace.
How do I act as my own general contractor on a concrete job in Bentonville?
The legal owner of a permitted residential property can act as the general contractor under the city's permitting rules. As the owner builder you can't do licensed work yourself, and you're responsible for the items on the city's Owner as Builder page. Any plumbing, electrical, mechanical or fire system permit has to be pulled by a contractor licensed to work in Arkansas. If you'd like to hand off just the concrete, we're licensed and fully insured and glad to work alongside you.
What happens if concrete gets poured before a Bentonville inspection?
The city requires work that's covered or finished without passing inspection to be removed or uncovered at the builder's expense so the inspection can take place. On a slab, that can mean breaking out brand-new concrete, which is why we book the inspection and wait for it to pass before the truck shows up.
What do I need for a slab foundation on a floodplain lot in Bentonville?
A project the city determines is in a floodplain needs a completed Floodplain Permit before final inspection. If your plat has a recorded finished floor elevation, the set height your floor has to reach, the certification requirements have to be met and the documents uploaded to the permit record before the slab inspection. The city's residential applications also include a Rainfall Mitigation Worksheet for all structures and pools, and I'll go over what applies to your lot when I come out.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Bentonville?
The price comes down to the size of the driveway, how much digging and base work the ground needs, whether old concrete has to come out, and the finish, with a plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that keeps it from getting slick, costing less than stamped or decorative work. The base is the part folks want to cut first because nobody sees it, and it's the last place I'd save money, since a nice top over soft dirt cracks and sinks just like the old one did. I'll give you a figure for your own driveway when I come out.
