General Contracting & Construction in Hernando, MS

Local Concrete Contractor Expertise

Hernando, MS needs a concrete contractor who understands DeSoto County's humid subtropical climate, expanding residential neighborhoods, and the strict permit requirements enforced by the county planning office. Whether you're building a foundation, laying a driveway in one of our newer subdivisions, or installing decorative flatwork near the historic town square, we combine local knowledge with professional execution. This page covers concrete driveways, foundations, patios, and the complete process from inspection to final installation in Hernando and nearby areas.

How We Work

Clear steps from site assessment through permit approval to installation and inspection

Our Process

We start with an on-site visit to assess your property and soil conditions specific to Hernando's clay-based foundation profiles. We then handle the DeSoto County permit application with the Planning and Building Department on Losher Street. Once approved, we schedule a timeline that works around your schedule and local weather patterns.

Site Evaluation

We inspect drainage, soil bearing capacity, and existing structures to recommend the right concrete type and thickness for your specific project.

Permit & Planning

We submit all required documents to DeSoto County and coordinate inspections before excavation or foundation work begins.

Prep & Forms

We excavate, set grade, compact the subbase, and install forms with correct slope for drainage—critical in Hernando's climate with seasonal rain.

Pour & Finish

We pour concrete, screeding level, and finish to your specifications—smooth, broom, or stamped patterns available.

Cure & Inspect

We allow proper cure time and schedule the final DeSoto County inspection to ensure code compliance and structural integrity.

Cleanup

Final debris removal, site restoration, and a walk-through so you know the project is complete and ready to use.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

From residential driveways to commercial foundations, we handle concrete work across Hernando, DeSoto County, and surrounding communities

Concrete Driveways

Driveways take the most punishment from DeSoto County's heat and humidity. We pour reinforced concrete with proper pitch for drainage, using air-entrained mixes that resist freeze-thaw cycles. Most residential driveways in neighborhoods like Orchard subdivision run 4 inches thick with full-depth subbase preparation.

Concrete Foundations

Solid foundations start with soil analysis and correct depth per DeSoto County code. We pour perimeter footings, stem walls, and floor slabs using concrete strengths appropriate to your structure type. All foundation work requires inspections at key stages and must meet county frost line and moisture barrier standards.

Patios & Flatwork

Patios and pool decks add living space to your Hernando home. We finish flatwork smooth or with a broom texture, often adding edge borders or patterns. Proper slope prevents standing water during our humid summers, and air-entrained concrete resists salt and UV exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Hernando?

Most foundation and substantial flatwork require a DeSoto County building permit. Simple repairs like patching may not. We confirm requirements before starting and handle all permit applications for you.

How long does concrete take to cure before use?

Concrete reaches 70% strength in 7 days and full strength in 28 days. We provide a timeline at project start so you know when to expect driveway or foundation use.

What if I have an old concrete slab with cracks?

Minor hairline cracks are normal and don't affect use. Larger cracks or settling may indicate drainage or soil issues. We can seal or repair small cracks or recommend removal and pouring new concrete if structural damage is present.

How do you handle drainage on patios and driveways in Hernando?

We design a minimum 1% slope away from structures to shed water. In humid Hernando summers, good drainage prevents standing water and extends concrete life. We also use air-entrained concrete that resists frost damage.

Can you work around a tight timeline or specific weather window?

Yes. We coordinate scheduling based on your needs and Hernando's spring/summer weather patterns when concrete work is easiest. Call to discuss your deadline.
