Caliber Little Rock Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Little Rock. We pour driveways, patios, steps and sidewalks for homeowners, and slabs, footings and foundations for builders, with the base dug and packed before any concrete shows up.
Little Rock is where I learned this trade. I worked on concrete crews around the city before I started this business in 2020. A lot of the calls here come from older homes with their original driveways, which have settled, cracked or lifted where tree roots got under them. Others come from newer houses where a builder needs a slab, footings or a garage floor. Plenty of yards here slope, and on those the trouble is usually water running under the concrete or pooling against the house.
We do the same work in North Little Rock and the cities around it, and every job starts the same way. What the slab sits on and where the water goes decide how deep we dig and how we pitch the pour, long before anyone picks a finish.
A new driveway starts with the dig. We go past the soft dirt so the packed base carries your car instead of settling under it.
Explore serviceWant a patio that drains? We pitch the slab away from the house and usually give it a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip when it's wet.
Explore serviceStamped concrete presses a stone, brick or wood pattern into the fresh slab and adds color, so we settle the pattern, color and sealing up front.
Explore serviceWhere roots have heaved an old walk, we cut out the broken panels, deal with what lifted them, and pour new sections that sit flush with the rest.
Explore serviceA garage floor takes car weight, dripped oil and hot tires, so we plan its thickness, steel and slope toward the door before anything else.
Explore serviceYou want something other than plain gray. Decorative work covers color, exposed stone and custom borders, and we match the look to where the slab sits.
Explore serviceOn a sloped yard, a retaining wall holds the dirt back. The drainage behind it matters as much as the wall does, since trapped water pushes walls over.
Explore serviceWe pour interior concrete floors for workshops, additions and storage buildings, setting the base, vapor barrier and finish for what the room will hold.
Explore serviceA pool deck has to stay grippy when it's wet and shed splash water away from the pool and the house, so we plan the texture and slope together.
Explore serviceYour front steps take more foot traffic than anything else outside, so we form even step heights, tie them to a solid footing and finish the treads for grip.
Explore serviceWe build slab foundations for new homes and additions, with thickened edges and steel laid out to the builder's plans and the ground we find.
Explore serviceBuilding or adding on? We lay out, dig, form and pour the foundation your plans call for, and we check grade and layout before any concrete arrives.
Explore serviceA parking lot carries trucks and turning cars, so it needs a thicker slab, a heavier base and a plan for where all that runoff goes.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under a wall, post or porch that spreads its weight into the ground, so we dig them down to firm soil and set steel.
Explore serviceWhen a slab has sunk, we find out why first. Then we lift it back level and deal with the cause so it's less likely to drop again.
Explore serviceNeed a doorway, a trench or a new edge in old concrete? We saw-cut a straight line instead of busting it out, which spares the slab that stays.
Explore serviceIn Little Rock, construction permits come from the city's Building Codes Division, which also handles plan review and inspections. Whether your driveway, patio or slab needs a permit depends on the job, so I check with the city for your address before we set a date, and we handle the paperwork when a permit is required. When one is, that step comes first, so your start date waits on the city as much as on us. It's fair to ask any concrete contractor in Little Rock about licensing and insurance before they pour, and we're fully licensed and insured.
The price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete we break out and haul off, how much digging and base the ground needs, how easy it is to get the truck to the forms, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit if there is one, the weather on pour day and the curing wait afterward, and I'll give you your own figure at the estimate. If the budget gets tight, cut the fancy finish before you cut the base. Nobody sees the base on day one, but it's the part you can't fix later. Our crew works the same way in Maumelle and Sherwood.
Tell us what you've got, whether it's a cracked driveway, a new patio 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 myself, look at the ground and the water, and give you the estimate. It's free, and there's no obligation.
(501) 274-1092On private development projects, the City of Little Rock's Engineering Division reviews, inspects and enforces work on driveways, retaining walls, sidewalks and stormwater drainage. It's a different office from the one that issues building permits, and it also covers the setups that hold storm runoff back on those projects. If your job falls under that review, we plan the layout and drainage with it in mind.
Concrete can still crack, but most of the bad cracking in old driveways comes from a soft base, water getting underneath or joints that were never cut, and we control all three. We pack the base, cut control joints, the grooves across the slab, on time so shrinkage cracks open in them and not across the middle, and add rebar, steel inside the slab that holds the pieces together if a crack does open.
You'll be able to walk on it well before you can drive on it, because concrete keeps getting stronger while it cures, the slow hardening after the pour. Thickness and weather change the wait, so I give you both dates for your slab when we pour.
The city's business license assessment period runs October 1st through November 1st. Businesses that hold or are applying for a City business license assess during that window.
Little Rock is our home base, and we 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 small crack or a low spot is usually cheaper to fix before water gets under the slab and the settling spreads, so call (501) 274-1092 or send us a message.
