Concrete where asphalt should not go.
Concrete aprons, dumpster pads, loading areas, sidewalks and flatwork, reinforced and jointed to handle the heaviest and slowest loads.
- Thickness: 4 to 8 in., set by load
- Reinforcement: Rebar or wire mesh as needed
- Joints: Cut or formed to control cracks
What it is, and why it matters.
Asphalt is the best choice for most paving, but some spots call for concrete: dumpster pads, loading docks, bus stops, turning areas and entrances where heavy loads stand and turn. Concrete does not rut or soften in the sun, and with proper reinforcement, thickness and jointing it can last decades.
In Nashville and across Tennessee, we pour concrete aprons at driveway entrances, ADA ramps and sidewalks, pads and drive lanes. We prepare the base, set forms, place reinforcement, pour, finish and cut joints. Where concrete meets asphalt, we build a clean transition that is not a tripping hazard.
Four things done right.

Stands up to heavy, slow loads.
Reinforced
Designed for the traffic.
Clean transitions
Concrete tied smoothly into asphalt.
Long life
Decades of service with care.

Concrete Aprons and Flatwork: common questions
When should I use concrete instead of asphalt?
Where heavy, slow or standing loads and turning would rut asphalt, such as dumpster pads, loading areas and bus stops. For most driveways and lots, asphalt is the better value.
How long before I can use new concrete?
Light foot traffic is often possible after a day or so, vehicles after about a week, and full strength takes around 28 days. We advise based on the mix and weather.
