Matthews sits on dark, shrinking clay that heaves and settles with every wet and dry spell, turning driveways into waves and sidewalks into trip hazards. Charlotte Concrete Pros knows this ground intimately, and we've spent years keeping Matthews homeowners' concrete flat, safe, and built to last through the Piedmont's unforgiving freeze-thaw cycles.
Whether your garage apron is cracking, your patio has settled, or your driveway needs a complete overhaul, we're the concrete team Matthews calls.
Concrete in Matthews (28105)
Matthews property owners face a concrete challenge most other places don't: Iredell-type dark clays that shrink hard in summer drought and swell aggressively when spring and fall rains soak in. That seasonal movement cracks slabs, heaves sidewalks, and settles driveways faster than you'd expect. Add freeze-thaw cycles in winter, occasional ice storms, and the red clay stains that come with poor drainage, and your concrete is under real stress.
The terrain doesn't help. Matthews lots slope, which means water pools behind houses or rushes toward foundations. Driveways climb from the street at steep angles. Old oak and pine roots lift sidewalks. Your concrete has to be poured right the first time, with proper grading, compaction, and sometimes concrete leveling or slab lifting to correct what the ground has already done.
We've repaired and replaced concrete across Matthews for years. We understand the soil, the drainage patterns, the seasonal timing, and the permit requirements the City of Matthews enforces. Our team knows which jobs need extra reinforcement, which need better drainage, and which can be saved with resurfacing rather than full replacement.

How a Job Works in Matthews
Step one is always a free on-site assessment. We come to your Matthews property, dig into the soil condition, check grading and drainage, measure the area, and talk through what's failing and why. We'll explain whether you need repair, resurfacing, leveling, or replacement, and we'll give you a realistic estimate before we commit to anything.
Step two is the work itself. We handle permitting and coordinate with the City of Matthews if your job requires it (driveways and sidewalks often do). We show up on time, work clean, and manage access around your lot, even if you're on a tight slope or in a neighborhood with narrow streets. We pour to grade, finish to spec, and make sure everything drains properly so the ground doesn't heave it again next winter.
Step three is cleanup and your final walkthrough. We haul debris, sweep the site, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You'll have concrete that's level, safe, and built to handle Matthews weather and soil for years to come.
Concrete repair and resurfacing in Matthews starts at $3 per square foot, which is perfect for patching cracks or refreshing worn surfaces before they fail completely. Concrete leveling and slab lifting runs from $4 per square foot, a smart move when your driveway or patio has settled but the concrete itself is still sound. New driveways and patios run $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot if you want your patio to be a real outdoor room. Polished concrete runs $4 per square foot, and sealing any concrete surface costs just $0.75 per square foot and extends its life significantly in our climate. Size, access, soil condition, and urgency all affect the final price. Call us at (980) 890-4168 for a free estimate tailored to your Matthews property.
