Concrete Driveways, Walkways and Retaining Walls
At Garrison’s Landscaping, LLC, we pour concrete driveways, concrete walkways and poured concrete retaining walls built to last on North Carolina properties. Every job starts with proper excavation, grading and a compacted stone base, so your new concrete drains correctly and stays level for years.
Built for Piedmont Clay and NC Weather
Our Piedmont clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and winter brings freeze-thaw cycles. That is why we reinforce our slabs, cut control joints in the right places and slope every surface to move water away from your home. As a locally-owned company, we serve homeowners and businesses throughout Rockingham and Guilford County and surrounding counties.
Our Concrete Services
Concrete Driveways
A new concrete driveway adds curb appeal and gives you a solid, low-maintenance surface for daily traffic. We remove the old surface, grade and compact the base, set the forms and pour a reinforced slab sized for cars and trucks.
- New driveways and replacements for cracked or sunken concrete and gravel
- Driveway extensions and parking pads for extra vehicles, boats or trailers
- Broom, stamped or exposed-aggregate finishes to match your home
- Steel reinforcement and control joints to limit cracking
- Proper slope and drainage so water runs off, not toward your garage
Concrete Walkways
A concrete walkway gives your family and guests a safe, mud-free path from the driveway to the front door, backyard or patio. We lay out each path to fit how you use your yard and finish it for good traction in wet weather.
- Front entry walks and sidewalks that tie into your driveway and steps
- Backyard paths to patios, fire pits, sheds and gardens
- Stamped and decorative concrete with the look of stone or brick
- Slip-resistant broom finish for rainy and icy days
- Concrete steps and landings where your yard changes grade
Concrete Retaining Walls
Poured concrete retaining walls hold back soil on sloped lots, stop erosion and create flat, usable yard space. We build each wall on a solid footing with steel reinforcement and drainage behind it, so water pressure does not push the wall over time.
- Poured concrete walls for slopes, driveways and basement entries
- Reinforced concrete footings under walls, steps and columns
- Drainage stone and weep holes behind the wall to relieve water pressure
- Smooth or textured finishes to fit your property
- Grading and backfill done by our own crew and equipment
