Concrete work we do in Tupelo, MS
Hallmark Tupelo Concrete is a concrete contractor in Tupelo, MS, offering 16 services, from new driveways and patios to footings, foundations and lifting a slab that's sunk. A lot of folks call about cracks, uneven spots or water pooling where it shouldn't, and the fix is usually in the ground underneath. Your price mostly turns on the size of the job, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish, since stamped or colored concrete takes more labor than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps a slab from getting slick. The schedule depends on the weather, the prep and any permit, and the estimate I write up gives you the number for your own job.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack the base and pour new concrete driveways sized for your cars and trucks, with the slope set so rain runs away from your house.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place out back for a grill and chairs? We build concrete patios on a packed base, finished and sloped so water drains off the edge.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so your patio or walkway can look like stone or brick without loose pieces.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour concrete sidewalks and front walks for homes and businesses, with joints cut so any cracks follow a straight line instead of wandering across the path.
Garage floor concrete
Garage slabs take a car's weight every day, so we pour them thick enough for the load and finish them smooth enough to sweep.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers colored, stained and textured finishes for patios, walks and pool areas, for folks who want their concrete to match the house rather than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We build poured concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope in your yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push on the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Concrete floors for shops, additions and commercial spaces get poured level on a packed base, then finished smooth or left ready for flooring on top.
Concrete pool decks
What makes a good pool deck? A texture that grips wet feet and a slope that carries water away from the pool, which is how we pour them.
Concrete steps construction
We build concrete steps for front doors and porches, with every step the same height so nobody catches a toe, and a finish that isn't slick when wet.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the concrete pad a house, shop or addition sits right on, and we prepare the ground under it as carefully as the pour itself.
Foundation installation
For builders and owners putting up a new house or building, we form and pour the foundation the plans call for, so the walls start square and level.
Concrete parking lot building
We pour concrete parking lots for small businesses on a heavier base with a thicker slab than a home driveway, graded so rain heads for the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete strips or pads under walls, porches, decks and additions, and we dig them down to firm ground so the weight has solid support.
Foundation raising
Doors sticking or a slab that's sunk at one corner? We lift settled concrete and foundations back toward level and look for why the ground gave way.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, a trench for a pipe or a cracked section taken out? We saw-cut concrete along a straight line instead of busting up the whole slab.
Why Tupelo homeowners and builders call us
Plenty of crews can pour concrete. What decides how it holds up is who's on the job, how the ground gets prepped and whether you know the plan before the truck shows up.
Same person quotes and pours
I come out myself to look at your job and give the estimate, and then my crew and I do the work together, so the person who quoted it is there on the pour.
You see the plan first
Before the truck comes, I walk you through where we'll cut the control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack, and which way rain will run off, so nothing about your job is a mystery.
Most time goes into the ground
We spend more time on the subgrade, the dirt your slab sits on, than on any other part of the job, digging out soft spots and packing the base, because a slab is only as good as what's under it.
Estimates you can compare
Your estimate is free, done on site and written in plain words, so you can lay it next to anyone else's and see what's included. Call (662) 990-8013 to set one up.
How your concrete job runs, start to finish
When you call, I answer myself, and if I miss you, you'll hear back within one business day. Here's what happens from there.
Call or send the form
Call (662) 990-8013 or send the form on our contact page and tell me a little about what you've got in mind. I'll ask a few questions, like how you'll use the space and what's bothering you about the concrete you have now, and then we'll set a time for me to come take a look.
I measure and write it up
I come out myself, measure, look at the ground and where the water runs, and listen to what you want. Then I write up a free estimate in plain words so you can see exactly what's included. There's no obligation, so take your time with it and compare.
We prep the ground and pour
Once you say go, we check with the local permit office and handle the paperwork with you when the job needs a permit. Then my crew and I dig out, pack the base, set the forms and pour, and we give the slab time to cure, the wait while it hardens and gains strength.
We walk the finished job
When we're finished, I walk the job with you so you can look it over and ask anything that's on your mind. I'll go over when it's ready for feet and for tires, and how to look after it, like clearing standing water and keeping heavy loads off the edges.
Tell me about the concrete work you need
Send the form and you'll hear back from me within one business day to set a time to come out. I'll measure and write up a free estimate, and there's no obligation.

Tupelo, the city we work from
Tupelo is the county seat of Lee County, and the places folks here know best are close to home. The Elvis Presley Birthplace still stands where it was built and is open for tours, and the Oren Dunn City Museum tells the Tupelo story, from prehistoric fossils and the Chickasaw Nation's capital to the railroads that helped turn a swampy area into a thriving city.
The museum sits in Ballard Park, where people come for the lake, playgrounds, skate park, frisbee golf course and trail, and the Natchez Trace Parkway visitor center sits at Tupelo about halfway along the parkway. Around town we pour driveways, patios and slabs for older homes and new builds alike, and every one gets the same ground-up approach.

Questions about concrete work in Tupelo
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Tupelo, MS?
The cost comes down to the size of the driveway, the prep the ground needs and the finish you choose, so I'd need to see it to give you a real number. Tearing out an old slab, hauling it off or adding stamped color all add to it, and your estimate spells out each piece.
Where can I save money on a concrete patio or driveway without hurting it?
Save on the finish, not the base. The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people want to trim, but it's what decides whether the slab settles and cracks. I'd rather you go plain on top and right underneath.
How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?
You'll be off it through the tearout, the prep and the curing time, and how long each takes depends on the size of the job and the weather. Once I've seen it, I'll tell you when you can walk on the new slab and when you can drive on it.
Do concrete contractors need a license in Mississippi?
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors says residential and commercial contractors have to be licensed by the board, and Tupelo requires its own city contractor's license too. The city won't issue a construction permit without documentation of the required licenses for the contractor and any subcontractors. We're licensed and fully insured.
Do I need a permit for concrete work on my house in Tupelo?
Check with the city before any work starts, because Tupelo says construction, demolition and land development inside city limits can't happen without an approved permit from its Department of Development Services. Whether your driveway or patio falls under that is the city's call, so we check with the permit office before we start.
What does a permit application in Tupelo need?
The city asks for a completed application and a current recorded deed, plus a lease if the person applying doesn't own the property. The residential form also lists a flood elevation certificate where one applies. When your job needs a permit, we handle that paperwork with you so the city side is settled before we start.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. I'll be straight with you about what concrete can and can't do, though, because even a well-built slab can show a fine crack over time, and I'd rather explain that up front than have you surprised.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Some cracking is normal in any concrete, but most bad cracks come from a soft base, poor drainage or joints cut late, and those are the things we control. We dig out and pack the base, slope it away from your house, add rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together, where the job needs it, and pour early on hot days so the top doesn't end up weak and dusty.
