Poured on a base built for Arkansas clay, finished within days, and backed by a written quote before a truck ever arrives.
Little Rock clay moves under every slab, and your concrete drains away from the house and cracks only where the joints were cut.
Little Rock Concrete Elite is a concrete contractor working across Little Rock, Sherwood, Benton and Conway, and has been pouring here since 2011. Crews are currently booking two to three weeks out.
Driveways and parking make up most of the work, aprons and pads on the same base as the drive. Patios and walkways come next, then foundations and slabs for additions and garages. Concrete repair covers cracked or settled slabs, and decorative concrete stamps or stains any of it.
Ready mix is discharged inside the ASTM C94 window, so no one waters down a stiffening load at the chute. Water added on site is what leaves a surface scaling a few winters later.
Is one sunken concrete step too small a job to call about? A sunken concrete step is an afternoon of work for a homeowner, broken out and repoured, and a builder booking foundations and slabs for a new subdivision is the far end.
Call Little Rock Concrete Elite for a free concrete estimate at (501) 555-0168, in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Maumelle or Bryant. Somebody comes out, measures the area and checks truck access, and you are left holding a written quote.

Who we are
We have been pouring concrete in Little Rock, Sherwood, Benton and Conway since 2011. Fifteen years in, the job still comes down to a base built for clay that swells and shrinks, and a load placed before it stiffens.
We hold the grading, the base, the forms, the steel, the pour and the saw cuts, so the crew works to the concrete rather than to three schedules. Nobody buys time by adding water to a stiffening load at the chute.
Services
For a homeowner replacing a driveway that has cracked along the same line every summer since it went in, or a family adding a second pad for a teenager's first car. A driveway carries real weight every day, so the base and the reinforcement underneath matter more here than the finish on top, and getting them wrong is expensive to redo once a slab is down.
Learn more about Driveways and Parking
For a family who wants somewhere to put a table and chairs that does not turn to mud after a storm, or somebody replacing a patio that has pooled water against the back door for years. A patio only has to carry people and furniture, so the drainage fall and the finish decide how it holds up over time, not the thickness underneath it.
Learn more about Patios and Walkways
For homeowners adding a garage, workshop or sunroom, and builders who need a foundation poured, inspected and ready for framing on a fixed schedule. Every footing and slab is designed to the soil underneath it rather than to a standard drawing, because a foundation that ignores Little Rock's clay settles within a few seasons.
Learn more about Foundations and Slabs
For homeowners with a driveway that has sunk at one edge, and sellers who need a cracked walkway fixed before a home inspection finds it first. Every repair starts with a straight answer about what actually failed, and polyurethane foam leveling or epoxy crack injection is used wherever the concrete underneath is still sound, rather than defaulting to a full replacement.
Learn more about Concrete Repair
For homeowners replacing a plain patio with something they will actually want photographed, and for anyone upgrading a driveway or pool deck before listing the house. Every pattern is stamped true and every finish sealed with a product built for Arkansas sun, because a stamped surface that fades or chalks within a year is worse than a plain one that never promised color to begin with.
Learn more about Decorative ConcreteThe mix strength, base depth and joint spacing are set before a single yard of concrete is ordered.
A driveway is poured at 4,000 PSI over a compacted aggregate base at least four inches deep, with fiber or steel reinforcement sized to what the slab will carry. A patio or walkway carrying only foot traffic can run a lighter mix, but the base compaction underneath it does not change, because that is what holds the surface flat on Little Rock clay.
Control joints are saw cut within a day, spaced at roughly twice the slab's width in feet and cut to a quarter of its depth, so the concrete cracks where it is told to. Stamped and stained finishes are sealed once cured, which keeps color and pattern from fading under an Arkansas summer.

Rated 5 out of 5
Old driveway had cracked at every joint inside eight years. They took it out, showed me the base under it was barely there, and put a proper one in. Three summers now and it is still flat.
Rated 5 out of 5
Asked them to pour in July and they told me to wait for the heat to break, which cost them a month of work. When they did come the joints were cut the next morning, not the following week.
Rated 5 out of 5
Three quotes and two of them gave me a number over the phone without seeing the place. These came out, measured, and wrote the mix and the thickness down. Not the cheapest. Neighbor used them after.

New Driveway and Parking Pad
North Little Rock
A cracked asphalt driveway came out and a reinforced 4,000 PSI slab went in, graded to carry water away from a home built on a slope.
Stamped Concrete Patio
Sherwood
A bare dirt side yard became a stamped patio matched to the home's brick, poured over a base built for the clay underneath it.
Garage Slab Replacement
Maumelle
An old, settled garage slab was broken out and repoured level, with a vapor barrier and reinforcement the original pour never had.
Backyard Walkway and Steps
Benton
A washed-out dirt path between the house and a detached shed became a broom-finished walkway with concrete steps at both ends of it.
Foundation for an Addition
Conway
A new foundation was poured for a room addition, dug and reinforced to carry the load of the framing going up on top of it.
Cracked Driveway Repair
Little Rock
Sections of a driveway that had heaved with the clay underneath were cut out and repoured, matched in color and jointed to the rest.
A free site visit, and the slab thickness and joints in writing.
The steps above are the same on every job. What moves the number is the ground underneath, how the old surface comes out, and the finish you choose.
Most of this only becomes clear once somebody has actually seen the site and the surface being replaced, which is what the free estimate is for. Get a free quote
Concrete does not add drama, it removes a line item off the next buyer's inspection list.
No remodeling report prices a concrete driveway or patio on its own. Cost vs Value studies price whole projects like a kitchen or a primary bath, not the concrete work sitting underneath one, so there is no published percentage to quote here.
What holds value instead is the deciding that happens before the truck arrives. A driveway poured to the right thickness and reinforced for a vehicle, with joints cut where they belong, does not crack in a way a buyer notices on a walkthrough. A patio that matches the house rather than looking bolted on reads as finished, not as a weekend project. None of that shows up as a percentage. It shows up as one fewer item on the inspection report.
Most driveways and patios run five to ten days from the first call to a slab you can park or walk on.

Get a free quoteSince 2011 this crew has poured driveways, patios, slabs and repairs across Little Rock, Sherwood, Benton and Conway. Grading, base, forms, steel, the pour, the finish and the saw cuts are all held by one contract. That is what lets a crew work to the concrete rather than to three separate schedules, because concrete will not wait for a subcontractor to arrive.

FAQs
Concrete questions people ask before they call
Yes. A lot of calls are for one cracked walkway panel or a patch of driveway nobody else wants to quote on its own, and those are ordinary jobs, not exceptions. The crew and the equipment needed are the same whether the pour is forty square feet or four hundred.
It gets broken out, loaded and hauled away before any new base goes down, and that cost is in the quote rather than added on afterwards. Breaking out an old driveway also shows the ground underneath it, which sometimes changes how the new base gets built.
Most driveways and patios take foot traffic within a day or two and vehicle weight after about a week, once the concrete has reached enough strength. Stamped and decorative finishes usually need a few extra days of curing before sealant goes on.
Stamped and stained work costs more and takes a more skilled crew, so it usually comes down to whether the surface needs to match something else on the property, like a patio beside a stone-faced house. A plain broom finish is the practical choice when nothing needs matching.
Little Rock and the surrounding towns generally require a permit for a new driveway or a structural slab, and pulling it is handled as part of the job rather than left for you to sort out. It is factored into the estimate rather than billed separately afterwards.
Part of the driveway or the access route usually stays open while the rest is poured and cures, and the timing gets worked out with you before the crew starts. A full driveway replacement does mean no vehicle access for a few days while the new pour cures.
PSI measures how much weight the concrete can bear once it has cured, and 4,000 PSI is the strength used for anything carrying a vehicle. A sidewalk or patio that only ever carries foot traffic can be poured to a lighter mix and still hold up fine.
A truck can back straight up to most driveways and pour directly, which is the fastest and least expensive way to place concrete. Where a gate, a slope or a tight side yard blocks that, the concrete gets pumped or barrowed in by hand instead, which adds crew time.
A hairline crack inside a control joint is normal and is where the slab was designed to move. A crack running across the slab away from a joint, or one that has lifted or dropped on one side, is worth a call so it can be looked at before it gets any worse.
Yes, foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings are poured the same way a slab is, graded and reinforced for what will sit on top of it. The base work matters even more here than on a driveway, since a foundation carries a structure rather than a vehicle.
A sealant goes on once the concrete has finished curing, usually about a week after the pour, and it is what keeps water out of the surface and protects a stamped or stained finish from fading. An unsealed decorative finish weathers noticeably faster than a plain one.
Bring a photo or a sample of the existing pattern and color, and the stamps and release agent get matched as closely as the tooling allows. An exact dye lot match is not always possible on an older pour, but the pattern and general tone can be brought very close.
Pouring concrete across central Arkansas since 2011.
Little Rock Concrete Elite pours driveways, patios, foundations, garage slabs and steps across Little Rock and the surrounding towns of central Arkansas, along with repair, resurfacing and decorative finishes like stamped and stained concrete for slabs already showing their age.
Why call Little Rock Concrete Elite for the pour?
Central Arkansas's clay soil moves every slab poured on it, and the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that cracks at the joints within a year is what goes in before the truck ever arrives. Little Rock Concrete Elite has been getting that part right in Little Rock since 2011. Call (501) 555-0168 for a free estimate, or ask for a same day callback.
