Summerville's red clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in dry spells, which pushes slabs, patios, and retaining walls out of level over time. Many lots near downtown and the historic district sit under mature pines and oaks, so drainage and base preparation matter on every job. CMJ Concrete is based in Summerville and pours driveways, slabs, and foundations here with that soil movement in mind.

Summerville, SC
Concrete Contractor
Summerville's clay holds water near the surface and shifts with the seasons. Slabs and driveways poured on poorly prepared subgrade often heave, crack, or sink. We address this with compacted base material, proper slope, and joint layout planned for the site.
Homes near downtown and along the older streets can have aging driveways, patios, and walls that need removal before new work starts. We handle concrete demolition, driveway and patio removal, and debris haul-off in the same project, so your site is ready for the next phase.
Lots shaded by mature pines and oaks stay damp longer than open ground. For retaining walls and landscape walls, we plan drainage behind the structure to limit hydrostatic pressure during heavy summer storms.
