Covenant Compliance

Many subdivisions have restrictive covenants. We verify color, material, and finish requirements before design so you avoid costly revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a driveway or patio in Germantown?

Yes. The City of Germantown requires a Driveway and Sidewalk Permit for driveways, and a grading permit for patios and flatwork over certain sizes. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections.

How long does concrete take to cure in Germantown's climate?

Standard concrete cures in 7 days but requires 28 days for full strength. Germantown's humidity slows surface drying, so we extend curing time and use proper sealing to prevent early degradation.

Are subdivision covenants something I should worry about?

Many Germantown subdivisions have restrictive covenants about color, material, and design. We review your property docs and confirm compliance before work starts to avoid delays or costly rework.

Can you fix a sinking or cracked driveway?

Yes. We offer concrete leveling, mudjacking, and full replacement depending on damage severity. Most Germantown driveways can be lifted rather than demo'd, which saves time and cost.

What's the best time of year to pour concrete in Tennessee?

Spring and fall offer ideal conditions—cool nights, moderate moisture. Summer heat accelerates curing; winter cold increases crack risk. We schedule around local weather to optimize quality and durability.
