Pouring concrete for Highland homes

Highland sits on the Hudson, right across the river from Poughkeepsie, and it's an easy drive down from us in Kingston. The calls we get here range from older homes near the center that need a worn-out driveway or front steps replaced to newer houses on roomier lots out toward New Paltz that want a patio, a garage floor or a walk around back. Closer in, homes and small shops share the main roads, so where the truck parks for the pour comes up on a lot of jobs.

Many yards here have some pitch to them, and that shapes the job more than anything else, because on sloped ground the slab has to be set so water runs away from the house instead of under it.

Concrete work we do in Highland

Most of what we pour in Highland is everyday flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and garage floors that sit right on the ground, plus front steps that have cracked or pulled away from the house. Backyard pools come up too, and concrete pool decks have to shed splash water away from both the pool and the house.

What Highland ground and paperwork mean for your slab

On a pitched lot, the ground under the slab matters as much as the slab, so we dig down to firm subgrade, the soil the concrete sits on, and pack a stone base in layers instead of raking loose dirt level. If your property is in a flood plain, the Town of Lloyd, the local government for Highland, posts a Flood Plain Permit form through its building department, and that's the place to start.

Most of what moves the price here is work you won't see: how much digging and base the ground needs, how much the yard slopes, and how close the truck can get to the pour. The schedule turns on whether your job needs a Lloyd permit, which we'll check and apply for with you when it does, and on curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before you use it. Your own figure comes in writing after I've seen the site.

In Highland, I'll walk your yard with you, explain what the base and drainage need, and put it all in writing before we pour anything.

Questions about concrete work in Highland

Here are the questions Highland homeowners ask us most before a pour. If yours isn't here, call (845) 303-8582 and we'll talk it through.

Where do I get a building permit in Highland, NY?

Building permits in Highland come from the Town of Lloyd building department, which you can reach at (845) 691-2144. It uses a longer application for new construction and a short form for other projects that need a permit. We'll check whether your job needs one and, if it does, handle the application with you.

Is there a driveway permit for a new concrete driveway in Highland?

The Town of Lloyd building department posts a Driveway Permit form, and that's where to start if you're planning a new driveway. Whether your project calls for it is the department's call, so we'll ask them about your address before we pour, not after.

Where can I read the official Town of Lloyd building code?

The official code is kept at Town Hall. The building department also posts a code book online, but it's marked not official, so it's fine for a first look and Town Hall is where to confirm anything you're counting on.

Where can I find the zoning law for Highland, NY?

Ulster County's Local Law Library page for the Town of Lloyd lists the Lloyd Zoning Statute, which is Lloyd's zoning law, along with its rules for subdividing land. The same page has the Lloyd Comprehensive Plan to read online if you want the bigger picture.

Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?

It may get a hairline crack or two, since most concrete does as it shrinks, but it shouldn't break up like the old one if the base and joints are right. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight line to follow, before cracks start, and if the budget's tight we'd rather trim the finish than the base.

How long until I can drive on my new concrete driveway?

You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because a car's weight needs the slab to cure further first. The exact wait depends on the mix and the conditions that week, so I'll give you your walk-on and drive-on days before we pour, and we'll plan around where you park.
