Cary homeowners have some of the highest expectations in the Triangle when it comes to residential concrete work — HOA-approved finishes, coordinated aesthetics with existing hardscape, and pours that last multiple decades without settling or cracking. Our Cary crew handles driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and foundation work with the process and attention to detail that a Cary home requires. Every project starts with a written estimate covering scope, materials, timeline, and warranty — no vague ballpark numbers.
The soil in Cary is classic Piedmont Cecil-series red clay: it holds moisture, expands and shrinks with the seasons, and needs proper base prep to support long-term concrete work. We remove organic topsoil, compact the subgrade to a firm state, and install 4 inches of #57 washed stone under every slab as a load-transfer and drainage base. Standard residential driveway pours are 4-inch 4,000 PSI concrete with proper control joint spacing; upgraded driveways or slabs supporting heavier vehicles step up to 6 inches with rebar reinforcement.
For decorative work — stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, integral color, and acid-stained finishes — we use professional-grade stamp sets, integrally colored ready-mix from top NC producers, and color hardeners applied at time of pour rather than surface-applied stains that fade in Cary's summer UV. Every decorative pour is finished with a penetrating sealer within 5-7 days, which locks in color and adds surface protection without leaving a glossy plastic-looking film.
Common Cary projects: driveway replacement (older Preston, Regency, Lochmere, and MacGregor Downs homes), patio expansions off existing living rooms and kitchens, pool deck work coordinated with existing pool coping, and stamped walkways connecting front-door approaches to driveways. HOA approvals in Regency Park, Preston, MacGregor Downs, and other master-planned communities usually require finished sample photos and a scope letter — we prepare both as part of the estimate.
Cary 2026 pricing runs from $8/sq ft for plain broom-finish driveway replacements up through $18-25/sq ft for high-end stamped decorative work with custom color and border banding. Site prep beyond simple demo (grading, drainage rework, tree root removal, sub-base repair) is itemized on the estimate. We serve Cary proper, plus Apex, Morrisville, Raleigh's west side, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and Chatham County to the west.
