Concrete Contractors in Rossville, TN

Rossville is small, but homeowners here still need concrete contractors who understand the town's mix of old and new. The town counted 664 people in 2010 and 1,041 at the 2020 census, a jump of more than 56 percent. Before that, it hovered between about 170 and 410 residents for most of a century. So Rossville has a small core of older homes along Main Street and a growing number of newer houses, and the concrete needs of the two are quite different.

The river on the north edge

The Wolf River, a tributary of the Mississippi, flows west along Rossville's northern edge. The town sits at about 312 feet of elevation, lower than nearby Piperton or Collierville. Properties close to the river and its low ground can stay wet for days after a storm. Concrete placed on wet, soft soil settles and cracks, so on these lots we dig deeper, use more compacted stone and slope everything firmly toward a place where water can leave the yard.

Main Street's oldest section

State Route 194, which is Main Street, runs north to Oakland and passes through the oldest part of Rossville. Older homes there often have narrow front walks, small stoops and steps that have heaved or sunk over decades. We rebuild them to fit the house, keep the scale modest, and make step risers even so they are safe to use.

Newer homes and rural lots

With the town's recent growth, we also pour driveways and patios for newer houses and slabs for detached garages, sheds and workshops. Many lots around Rossville are large, so driveways run long and outdoor spaces can be generous. We plan driveway thickness around delivery trucks and trailers, and we lay out patios so they work with the view and the shade.

Rail and road traffic

The Norfolk Southern Railway runs through Rossville, and an intermodal facility opened southwest of town in 2012. State Route 57 links Rossville to Collierville, about 7 miles west, and to Moscow, about 8 miles east. Heavier truck traffic on nearby roads is a reminder that a driveway apron at the street takes more abuse than the rest of the drive, and we build aprons accordingly.

Sizing the job to a small town

Rossville jobs are often a mix of small and large: a set of front steps and a walk on one property, a full driveway and shop slab on the next. We are glad to take on either. For smaller work, we can sometimes combine pieces, like steps, a walk and a pad for a trash bin or air conditioner, into one visit so you only have one crew and one concrete delivery. For larger work, we schedule the pour early in the day so finishing happens before the afternoon heat.
