Caliber Little Rock Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Little Rock, AR. We pour driveways, patios, steps, slabs and footings in Conway, AR, and we get the dig-out and base right before any concrete shows up.
Most Conway calls are about a driveway that's sunk at one corner, a patio that holds water after a rain, or steps pulling away from the porch. Builders also call us for slabs and footings on new homes. There are older houses close to downtown and newer neighborhoods spreading out from it, and on a lot of the older ones the original concrete went down on dirt that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed. That's why it settled. It's the same work we do in Maumelle and back home in Little Rock.
Tucker Creek runs through town, from north central Conway southwest into Lollie Bottoms and on to the Tupelo Bayou. Water moves across these yards on its way somewhere, so on every Conway job I figure out where yours goes before we talk about how the top should look.
A sinking driveway usually has soft dirt under it, so we dig that out, pack a base, and cut control joints, grooves that tell cracks where to go.
Explore serviceYou want a patio that drains and stays level, so we slope it away from the house and broom-finish the top, a light texture for grip.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gets pressed with a pattern like stone or brick while it's wet. The pattern only lasts as long as the base under it holds still.
Explore serviceWe pour walks from the driveway to the door and along the side of the house, sloped a little so water sheds off instead of sitting.
Explore serviceCracked or chipping garage floor? We break out the old slab, fix the base, and pour a new one thick enough for the cars and everything else.
Explore serviceColor, exposed stone or a custom border for the front walk or patio. We pick the look with you, then build the base like any other slab.
Explore serviceWhere a yard steps down, a retaining wall holds the dirt back. It needs a footing, steel and a way for water behind it to drain.
Explore serviceConcrete floors for shops, barns, sunrooms and additions, poured level and finished smooth or textured depending on what the room's for.
Explore serviceA pool deck has to drain away from the water and give bare feet some grip, so we plan the slope and texture before we pour.
Explore serviceSteps that pulled away from the porch usually settled on loose fill. We set new ones on a packed base with rebar, steel bars that hold them together.
Explore serviceFor a new house or shop, we build the slab from the subgrade, the ground it sits on, up through forms, steel and the pour.
Explore serviceBuilders call us for foundations dug and poured to the plans, with footings sized for the house and the dirt it's going on.
Explore serviceParking lots for churches, shops and offices need a thicker slab and a heavier base, plus a plan for where all that rain runs.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under a wall, porch or post that spreads the weight. We dig them deep and wide enough for what's going on top.
Explore serviceIf part of your slab or foundation has sunk, we lift it back toward level and fill the gap under it so it has support again.
Explore serviceNeed an opening in a concrete wall, a trench for a plumber or a bad section cut out? We saw it straight so the patch matches up.
Explore servicePermits in Conway come from the city's Building Permits & Inspections office, which covers new construction, remodels, additions and accessory buildings, and no work starts until the permit's issued. Its list doesn't name driveways or patios on their own, so I check with that office about your address and your job, and when a permit's needed we handle the paperwork. That wait goes on the schedule first.
Price comes down mostly to what's under the slab, meaning how much soft dirt we dig out and how much base we pack back in. After that it's the size and thickness of the slab, how close a truck can get, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit, if your job needs one, and on how long the slab cures before you use it. I give you your own number at the estimate. We've done it this way since 2020, from Conway down to Pine Bluff.
Tell us what you've got, whether it's a sunk driveway, a patio that holds water, new steps or a slab for a build. Send the form or call (501) 274-1092 and we'll reply within one business day. Then I come out to your place in Conway, look at the ground and give you the estimate myself, free and with no obligation.
(501) 274-1092Residential permit review in Conway can take up to 3 to 5 business days, and trade permits about 1 to 2. Those times assume the plans and papers come in complete, so I get the drawings and paperwork right before anything goes in.
On a residential permit, the city's residential permit guidelines call for a sign with the builder's name, phone number and job address, a porta-potty, and a trash container for anything that can blow around. A lot that slopes toward the street or a neighbor also needs erosion control put in properly, and if any of it's missing the inspection gets turned down. When we're pouring for a builder, we go over that list together before the inspector comes.
It may crack a little, because most concrete does, but it shouldn't sink and break up like the old one when the base is right. We dig out the soft dirt, pack a solid base, put steel in and cut control joints early, so any cracks run in straight lines we picked. The base is the part you never see and the first thing people want to cut, and it's the last place I'll save you money.
Usually you can walk on it after a few days, but your car has to wait longer, because the slab is still curing, slowly hardening and gaining strength. I'll tell you when it's ready for your car on pour day, and we pour early so the afternoon heat doesn't leave a weak, dusty top.
We're based in Little Rock and work across the cities around it in central Arkansas, including the ones listed here. If you don't see your city, call and ask.
A walk around your yard shows me how soft the dirt is and where the water runs, and that tells you more about your job than any photo, so call (501) 274-1092 or send the form.
If you've got a cracked driveway or a new slab to plan in Conway, send me a note and I'll come take a look.
