Serving Bryant, AR and surrounding areas. (501) 984-8019
Stronghold Bryant Concrete is a licensed concrete contractor serving Sherwood, AR with concrete driveway installation, patio construction, and slab foundation work. We have been working throughout Pulaski County since 2017, and we know the brick ranch homes and clay soil conditions that are common across Sherwood's neighborhoods.
Most Sherwood driveways were poured in the 1970s through 1990s, which means they have been through 30 to 55 years of central Arkansas clay movement and freeze-thaw stress. We remove the old slab, prep the subbase properly, and pour a replacement that is built to handle what Sherwood soil does every year. See our concrete driveway services.
Sherwood's single-family homes on modest suburban lots are ideal candidates for concrete patios that extend usable outdoor living space. We account for drainage slope away from the home's foundation, which is especially important given Sherwood's heavy spring rainfall and clay soil that holds water rather than draining it quickly.
Sherwood builds almost entirely on concrete slab foundations, and clay soil movement is a factor from day one. Whether you are adding a room, building a garage, or putting up a new structure on your property, we pour slabs with the subbase preparation that Sherwood's soil conditions require.
Sherwood's older neighborhoods have sidewalks and walkways where mature tree roots - some of those trees planted when the subdivisions were first developed in the 1970s - have cracked and displaced the concrete. We remove damaged sections, address root issues where possible, and pour replacements that meet grade requirements.
Sherwood's attached-garage homes from the 1980s and 1990s often have garage floors showing oil staining, surface spalling, or uneven settling after decades of use and soil movement below the slab. We pour new garage slabs with control joints and proper drainage pitch so the surface clears water and debris easily.
Sherwood's brick ranch homes typically have front entry steps that have settled and cracked as the clay soil beneath them shifted over the years. We replace cracked or uneven concrete steps with properly formed and poured replacements that hold level and meet code requirements for riser and tread dimensions.
The bulk of Sherwood's housing was built between the 1970s and 1990s. That means the driveways, walkways, patios, and garage floors on most Sherwood properties are 30 to 55 years old - and they have been through decades of Pulaski County's expansive clay soil movement. The clay soil in this region expands when it absorbs moisture and shrinks during dry periods. Every wet spring and hot dry summer puts stress on concrete that sits on top of it. Homes where the original subbase was not prepared thoroughly are the ones showing the most damage today.
Sherwood's suburban layout also means mature trees with deep root systems in many older neighborhoods. Those roots seek moisture and can push up beneath driveways and walkways, cracking concrete from below rather than from the top down. Spring in central Arkansas brings an average of 50 inches of rain per year, according to the National Weather Service Little Rock office, and the clay soil holds that water close to the surface for days after a heavy rain. A contractor who doesn't work in Sherwood regularly won't recognize these site-specific drainage and root issues before they pour.
Our crew works throughout Sherwood regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Sherwood is a city of working and middle-class families who own their homes and take maintenance seriously - and we have worked on homes throughout the city, from the older Sherwood Forest subdivision near the city center to the newer subdivisions on the east and north sides that were built in the 1990s and 2000s.
We know the Highway 107 corridor and the subdivisions that branch off it, and we are familiar with the mix of brick ranch homes near the city center and the newer construction further out. Sherwood sits right next to Jacksonville to the north, and many residents of the two cities live and work in the same corridor. We also serve homeowners in North Little Rock to the south - so if you have neighbors in either area who need concrete work, we cover the whole stretch.
Get in touch by phone or through our contact form. We reply within 1 business day and schedule a site visit at a time that works for you - you do not need to be home all day waiting for us.
We visit your Sherwood property, check the existing concrete, soil drainage, and any root or grading issues, and give you a written estimate. We also confirm permit requirements for your project at this stage - no cost surprises after work begins.
We handle all removal, grading, compaction, forming, and reinforcement before the truck arrives. For standard residential flatwork, the pour and finishing typically take one full day, with cleanup included.
We advise keeping vehicle traffic off for at least five to seven days after the pour. We walk through the finished work with you before leaving, answer questions about sealing and long-term care, and make sure you are satisfied with how the job looks.
We work throughout Sherwood every week. Call us or fill out the form - we will respond within 1 business day and schedule a site visit at your convenience.
(501) 984-8019Sherwood is a city in Pulaski County with a population of roughly 32,000 to 33,000 people. It sits just north of Little Rock and grew rapidly as a suburb starting in the 1970s. The city is known for a high homeownership rate and a mostly single-family residential character - the kind of place where most people know their neighbors and take care of their properties. The majority of Sherwood's housing stock was built between 1970 and 1999, which means a large share of driveways, patios, and flatwork are now entering their second generation and need attention from homeowners who want to maintain them properly.
Sherwood takes its name from Sherwood Forest, and one of its best-known older residential neighborhoods carries that name as well. The city runs along the Highway 107 corridor, which connects its neighborhoods to Little Rock to the south and Jacksonville to the north. Little Rock Air Force Base, located in Jacksonville directly adjacent to Sherwood, is one of the largest employers in the region - many Sherwood residents work there or know families connected to it. Sherwood also borders North Little Rock to the south, and the two cities share much of the same housing era, building stock, and soil conditions.
