Concrete Contractor in Centerton, AR - Driveways and Patios Built on a Packed Base
CJ Rogers Concrete Company pours driveways, patios, steps and slabs for homeowners and landlords in Centerton, AR, from our base in Rogers, and we dig out and pack the ground before we pour.
Concrete work for Centerton homesstarting with what's underneath
I've run this business from Rogers since 2013, and the Centerton calls we get look a lot like the ones from Bella Vista and Bentonville: driveways that settled, new backyard patios, steps that rock underfoot.
What moves the price is the size and thickness of the slab, whether old concrete gets torn out and hauled, and how much digging and packing the ground needs. The schedule turns on any permit, pour-day weather and curing, the wait while the slab hardens before you drive on it.
Call (479) 413-0106 or use the form, and I'll come out and put your job's numbers in a written estimate.
Concrete services in Centertonfor driveways, yards and new builds
We take on flatwork in Centerton, the driveways, walks and patios people see every day, plus foundations, walls and the cutting that goes with them.
- Concrete driveway building Tear-outs of settled or cracked driveways, then a dug-out, packed base so the new one doesn't sink with the dirt.
- Concrete patio construction Backyard patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs into the yard instead of toward your back door.
- Stamped concrete services A pressed pattern that looks like stone or brick, poured over the same packed base as a plain slab.
- Concrete sidewalk building Front walks and side paths that have chipped or gone uneven, replaced so the edges line up and nobody trips.
- Garage floor concrete Garage floors poured for a loaded truck, with control joints, cut grooves that give cracks a planned place to go.
- Decorative concrete Colored and textured finishes for front entries and patios when you want more than plain gray.
- Concrete retaining walls Got a sloped yard? These walls hold the dirt back, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured level so walls, cabinets and equipment sit flat.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a textured top that grips wet feet and a slope that sends splash water away.
- Concrete steps construction Resetting or rebuilding front and back steps that have pulled away from the house or rock when you step on them.
- Slab foundation building House and outbuilding slabs on new lots, with the ground graded and packed before any forms go up.
- Foundation installation Foundations for additions and new structures, laid out to the plans and checked before the pour.
- Concrete parking lot building Lots and drive lanes for small businesses, built thicker with rebar, steel inside that holds the slab together under traffic.
- Concrete footings For decks, porches, sheds and additions, footings dug to solid ground so the weight doesn't settle unevenly.
- Foundation raising Lifting sunken slabs and settled foundations back toward level, after we find out why they dropped.
- Concrete cutting Clean saw cuts for a walk tie-in, plumbing access or a new doorway, without cracking the rest of the slab.
Why Centerton hires usfor what's under the slab
I spent years fixing concrete where somebody skipped the prep, so that's where we start, and I'd rather talk the whole job through at your place than have you surprised later.
The base gets dug, not raked
We dig down to the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and pack it firm, because a base that's just raked level settles and cracks the slab.
Prep comes before a fancy finish
If the budget's tight, I'd rather pour a plain broom finish, a brushed texture for grip, than skimp on prep, because a bad base means tearing it all out.
Cracks follow lines we chose
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut the control joints early enough that cracks follow our lines instead of picking their own spot across your driveway.
I'm on the job with the crew
The person who writes your estimate is out on the pour with our own crew, so what we talked through in your driveway is what gets built.
Licensed, insured and guaranteed
Arkansas wants home improvement contractors licensed by its Residential Contractors Committee on jobs over $2,000 unless they're exempt. We're fully licensed and insured, and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How a Centerton job runsfrom first call to final walk
I want you to know what you're getting before you sign, so the estimate is written at your place, spells out what's in it and tells you about any permit up front.
Call or send the form
Call (479) 413-0106 or fill out the form with where the job is and what's going on, and we'll get back to you to set a time.
I look at it with you
I come out, look at the spot with you, ask how you'll use it and write up an estimate that spells out tear out, hauling, prep and whether a permit's needed.
Permit, prep and pour
We set a date, file any permit for our part with the city's Department of Building Safety and book inspections, which need 24 hours' notice, sometimes 48. Then we pour.
Walk it together
When the crew wraps up, we walk the finished job with you and go over how long to stay off it while it cures and how to look after it.
What Centerton asks of concretearound water, permits and new lots
Most of what changes a concrete job here comes down to where the water goes and what the city wants first.
Two creeks that can flood
The city names Little Osage Creek on the southeast side and McKissic Creek, mostly northeast, as its main flood sources, so we check where water runs.
Flood zone work needs a permit
In the FEMA flood zone, the city requires a Floodplain Development Permit before any ground is disturbed, so we look into that at the estimate.
Starting early doubles the fee
If work that needs a permit starts before the permit is issued, Centerton doubles the permit fees, so we wait for it before we dig.
New lots wait on grading
On new home lots, the city approves grading and erosion control before it releases building permits, so a slab foundation follows that approval.

Our work around Centertonfor owners, landlords and shops
Our Centerton calls come from homeowners, landlords, property managers and a few small business owners. Rentals usually need the fixes I learned on: settled walks, loose steps, cracked driveways. Owners building or adding on want a slab or footing poured right the first time.
Working out of Rogers, we bring the same prep to Centerton that we'd want under our own driveway. If the real trouble is the old base under your concrete, I'd rather tell you at the estimate than have you find out when the new slab cracks.
