Concrete Contractors in Horn Lake, MS

Horn Lake homeowners hiring concrete contractors are mostly living in homes built after 1970. The city stayed rural through the first half of the twentieth century. Interstate 55 opened in 1964, and in 1970 First Mississippi Corporation began developing about 960 acres as DeSoto Village, which set off rapid growth. Horn Lake was incorporated on March 3, 1973, on its third attempt, and went from 2,170 residents in 1970 to 14,099 in 2000 and 26,736 at the 2020 census.

An old river channel

The city takes its name from an oxbow lake about three miles west, a former channel of the Mississippi River. The river shifted in the late 1700s and left behind a curve shaped like a cow's horn, which shows on maps from 1765 to 1796. Horn Lake sits at about 305 feet of elevation, and about 1.8 percent of its area is water. Land shaped by an old river channel can include softer, wetter ground, so we check the soil under every slab and build the base to suit it.

Fifty-year-old concrete

Driveways, carports and walks from the DeSoto Village era are now about fifty years old. Many were poured thin and without reinforcement, and by now they are cracked through, settled or broken into pieces. Repairs on concrete like that do not hold for long, so we usually recommend removal and a new slab on compacted stone. For homes from the 2000s growth, the fixes are often smaller, like replacing a settled panel or adding a patio.

A city that kept growing

In 2001 Horn Lake annexed several square miles and about 6,000 people west of its old limits. That brought in older rural homes with long gravel or worn concrete drives, and newer subdivisions have been added since. We pour for all of them, from a single set of steps to a complete driveway and patio.

Local landmarks

Horn Lake is home to the headquarters of the American Contract Bridge League, with its museum and library, and to the 154.5-acre Elvis Ranch that Elvis Presley owned late in his life. Latimer Lakes Park and Wooten Park serve the city's families.

From estimate to finished slab

We start each Horn Lake job with a visit to measure and look at the condition of the ground. You get a written estimate that covers removal and haul-off, base stone, thickness, reinforcement, finish and cleanup, and the written estimate is the price. On the job, we break out the old concrete, compact the base, set forms and steel, and pour and finish the slab, cutting control joints on time. We explain how long to stay off it and how to care for it during its first year.
