Caliber Little Rock Concrete Company is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, walks, steps and slabs for North Little Rock homeowners and builders, with the dig and base done right before any concrete shows up.
North Little Rock sits right across the river from Little Rock, and a lot of our calls here come from the older neighborhoods. Park Hill goes back to the 1920s and 1930s, and Lakewood grew up around its lakes, so we often find driveways, walks and steps that have been patched more than once over a base nobody's touched in decades. Builders and property owners call us too, for house slabs, footings and parking areas, and we get plenty of patio calls from homeowners up toward Sherwood.
On an older lot, the old concrete tells me most of what I need to know. Where it sank or cracked is usually where the dirt under it moved or the water ran, and that's what we fix before anything new gets poured.
Concrete driveway building starts with tearing out the old drive, digging to firm ground and packing a base thick enough for your cars, then forming and pouring.
Explore serviceWant a patio for the grill and chairs? With concrete patio construction we set the slope first so rain runs to the yard, not the back door.
Explore serviceStamped concrete services press a stone, brick or wood pattern into fresh concrete and add color, which takes a crew working fast while the surface is still soft.
Explore serviceConcrete sidewalk building covers walks to the front door and along the house, often replacing sections that tree roots have lifted on older lots.
Explore serviceA cracked, oil-stained garage slab usually comes out whole. Garage floor concrete means a new base and a slab poured to drain toward the door.
Explore serviceDecorative concrete covers color, stains and scored patterns on patios and walks, and we settle the look before the pour because it can't change after.
Explore serviceWhere a yard slopes toward the house, concrete retaining walls hold the dirt back, with a footing below and drain behind so water doesn't push them over.
Explore serviceConcrete floor installation is for shops, sheds and additions, where the floor has to come out flat and level so walls, cabinets or equipment sit right on it.
Explore serviceAround a pool, you want footing that isn't slick and water that drains away. Concrete pool decks get a textured finish and a slope away from the edge.
Explore serviceOld front steps that have pulled away from the porch are common on older houses. Concrete steps construction sets new footings so the steps sit tight against the house.
Explore serviceBuilding a house or shop? For slab foundation building we grade the pad, form thickened edges and tie the steel to the builder's plans before the pour.
Explore serviceFoundation installation means footings and short concrete walls under homes and additions, dug down to firm ground and formed to the plans.
Explore serviceFor property owners, concrete parking lot building is about a thick, well-drained slab with joints laid out for traffic, so delivery trucks don't chew up the edges.
Explore serviceConcrete footings carry a deck, porch, addition or wall, so we dig them to firm soil and size them to the load, not to whatever's quick.
Explore serviceWhen a slab or foundation has settled, foundation raising lifts it back toward level, and first I look for the soft ground or water that let it sink.
Explore serviceNeed a trench cut through a slab or one bad section taken out? Concrete cutting makes clean saw cuts so the rest of the slab stays whole.
Explore serviceBuilding and remodeling permits in North Little Rock come from the city's Planning Department. I check with them about what your job needs before we set a date, and when a permit is required we handle the paperwork, so it's already built into the schedule I give you. You can check us, too. The city requires every business working inside city limits to hold a city business license, so ask any contractor for theirs. We're fully licensed and insured.
What moves the price is mostly what's under the job. That means whether an old slab has to come out, how much dirt we dig and how much base we haul in, how big and thick the slab is, how close the truck can get, and whether you want a plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from getting slick, or stamped and colored work. The schedule turns on the permit, the dig and the curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before you use it. I'll walk your job with you at the estimate and give you your own number. We do the same work over in Maumelle and the other cities around here.
Tell us what you've got in mind, a new driveway, a patio out back or a slab for a build, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out to your property myself, look at the ground and the old concrete, and give you a free estimate with no obligation. If you go ahead, our own crew does the work with me running the job on site.

We handle those the way we laid out above, and we start pours early in the day so the top isn't rushed in the heat and left weak and dusty.
Usually about a week, and you can walk on it in a day or two. That wait is curing, and parking on it early is how edges chip and the surface gets marked. I'll tell you when it's ready for your car.
Yes, if it changes the outside of a downtown building, like new steps at the entrance. The North Little Rock History Commission has to approve any exterior construction on downtown buildings in the area between Poplar, 9th Street, South Broadway and North Broadway. If your property's in that area, we get that approval lined up before we schedule the pour.
We're based in Little Rock and work across the cities around it in central Arkansas. These are the cities with their own page, and if you don't see yours, call and ask.
Call (501) 274-1092 or send the form while your old concrete is still in place, because where it sank and cracked shows me what the new base needs.
If you've got a driveway, patio or slab on your mind in North Little Rock, send us a note and we'll talk it through.
