Concrete Flatwork Contractors
in Northeast Oklahoma
Driveways, pads, patios, and walkways poured to last.
Concrete is where Summit started, and it's still more than half of what we pour each year. Driveways, approaches, shop pads, patios, porches, walkways, and steps — with the base prep and jointing that decide whether it holds up.
Good concrete is mostly what happens before the truck arrives. Compacted base, correct thickness for the load, rebar or mesh placed on chairs instead of walked into the mud, and control joints cut at proper spacing. Skip any of those and the finish looks fine for one summer.
Oklahoma freeze-thaw and heavy spring rain are hard on flatwork. We set slope so water leaves the slab and the structure, use appropriate mix and air entrainment, and cure it instead of leaving it to the weather.
Decorative work — broom, colored, stamped, exposed aggregate, saw-cut patterns — gets the same structural attention underneath. A pretty stamp on a bad base is still a bad slab.
Square footage, thickness, reinforcement, access for trucks, and how much demolition or base work the site needs all move the number.

Questions
we get asked.
How thick should a driveway be?
Standard residential driveways are typically four inches on a compacted base; if trucks, RVs, or equipment will use it, thicker with heavier reinforcement is the right call. We spec it to what will actually drive on it.
Why does concrete crack?
Concrete shrinks as it cures, so it will crack somewhere — the job of control joints is to decide where. Uncontrolled cracking usually traces back to base prep, missing or misplaced reinforcement, joint spacing, or water added on site.
How soon can I drive on new concrete?
Foot traffic in about a day, vehicles after roughly a week, heavy loads later. We give you the specific windows for your pour before we leave the site.
Can you replace just part of a driveway?
Often yes — we cut back to sound concrete at a joint, rebuild the base, and dowel the new pour in so the sections move together.
