Serving Biloxi, MS and surrounding areas. (228) 250-0610
Premier Biloxi Concrete serves Hattiesburg, MS with slab foundation building, driveways, concrete floors, and patios for homes across the Hub City, from older pier-and-beam neighborhoods downtown to the newer subdivisions on the north side. We reply within one business day and handle all permits before work starts.
Hattiesburg has a significant mix of older pier-and-beam homes and newer subdivisions on the north side, and homeowners adding garages, workshops, or accessory structures need slab foundations built to handle the city's heavy rainfall and variable soil. We pour slabs with proper vapor barriers, reinforcement, and drainage slopes suited for south Mississippi conditions. See our slab foundation building services.
Hattiesburg receives about 60 inches of rain per year, and driveways that are not properly graded collect water at the entry, push runoff toward the foundation, and develop cracks at the edges within a few years. We build driveways with the base depth and slope needed to drain away from the structure in a climate that gets rain all twelve months.
Outdoor living is a staple for Hattiesburg homeowners, and a well-built concrete patio holds up to the long summers without cracking, heaving, or staining the way a poorly prepared pour does. We finish patios with the joint placement and sealers appropriate for Hattiesburg heat and humidity so the surface stays solid through years of use.
Older homes in Hattiesburg neighborhoods like the Oaks and Parkhaven often have crawl spaces where homeowners want to add a concrete floor for a workshop, laundry room, or living conversion. We install concrete floors with vapor barriers and base preparation designed for the moisture conditions common in south Mississippi crawl spaces.
New construction and additions throughout Hattiesburg need foundations designed for the city's clay-heavy soils, which expand and contract with the wet and dry cycles that come with 60-plus inches of annual rainfall. We install foundations with the reinforcement and footings required by current building codes in Forrest County.
Properties near Tuxachanie Creek and other drainage corridors throughout Hattiesburg see significant erosion after the heavy storms the city receives each year. Concrete retaining walls prevent soil loss along slopes and near drainage channels, protecting landscaping and keeping grade stable around foundations and driveways.
Hattiesburg receives about 60 inches of rain per year, significantly above the national average, and the city has experienced serious localized flooding - including widespread flood damage in 2013 that affected thousands of homes. The older neighborhoods near downtown and the University of Southern Mississippi sit on pier-and-beam foundations with soil that has absorbed and released moisture through decades of wet seasons. Any concrete work placed on that kind of ground without thorough base compaction and drainage planning will develop problems within a few years. The clay-heavy soils common in parts of Forrest County expand when wet and contract when dry, putting stress on slabs and driveways through every season cycle.
The variety of housing stock across Hattiesburg makes local knowledge important. Homes in the historic core near downtown - built in the early 1900s through the 1940s - have different foundation conditions than the post-WWII brick ranch homes off Hardy Street, which are different again from the newer vinyl-sided subdivisions on the north side near Oak Grove. Each type presents its own set of expectations for base prep, drainage, and reinforcement. A concrete contractor who works regularly in Hattiesburg knows what to look for when they walk a lot and can scope the job correctly from the start.
Our crew works throughout Hattiesburg regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Hattiesburg sits at the crossroads of I-59 and US-98, which makes it straightforward to reach from across the region and means our schedule can reliably serve the full city without the long drive times that affect Gulf Coast jobs further south. Building permits for most concrete work are processed through the City of Hattiesburg Community Development Department, and we handle that process for you before any work begins. For projects near waterways or in low-lying areas, we check for flood zone status through FEMA flood maps as part of standard site assessment.
The city has a clear geography that shapes where different types of concrete work come from. The neighborhoods near the University of Southern Mississippi and downtown have the oldest housing stock and the most need for foundation and slab work on older lots. The brick ranch neighborhoods off Hardy Street and toward Forrest General Hospital are largely post-WWII builds that are now at the age where driveways, slabs, and patios need their first replacement. The newer subdivisions on the north side closer to Oak Grove and Petal have newer concrete that may be showing its first signs of cracking or settling after 20 to 30 years. We work across all of these areas.
We also serve customers who are comparing options across the region. Nearby Moss Point is a regular stop for our crew, and while the Gulf Coast location gives it different conditions from Hattiesburg, the fundamentals of working in older Mississippi housing stock are the same. We are also available to customers along the coast in Pascagoula who need the same foundation and drainage knowledge for properties in a coastal flood zone.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form. Describe the project and the property location in Hattiesburg. We respond to every new inquiry within one business day.
We visit the property, assess the soil, drainage, and any existing concrete conditions, and give you a written estimate with a clear scope of work. This is where we address cost and answer any questions about what the project requires - no surprises later.
We handle all required permit filings with the City of Hattiesburg before any work begins. We schedule the pour around weather - Hattiesburg rain is frequent enough that we build a buffer into the timeline to avoid pouring in unsuitable conditions.
We clean up the site after the pour and walk you through the cure timeline. Normal foot traffic is typically safe within 48 hours. Full vehicle weight should wait at least seven days, and the concrete reaches full strength over 28 days.

(228) 250-0610Hattiesburg is the largest city in south Mississippi with a population of roughly 47,000, and it has long served as the regional hub for commerce, healthcare, and education across a wide area of the state. The city sits at the intersection of I-59 and US-98, which is how it earned its nickname as the "Hub City." The University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University both call Hattiesburg home, giving the city a steady academic population alongside the healthcare workers employed at Forrest General Hospital and Merit Health Wesley. The housing stock spans nearly a century of development - from early 1900s craftsman homes in the historic Oaks neighborhood near downtown to post-WWII brick ranches off Hardy Street to newer subdivisions that have expanded northward toward Oak Grove over the past three decades.
Hattiesburg has a real history with severe weather. The city was directly hit by a significant tornado in February 2013 that caused widespread damage to neighborhoods near the university, and it experienced serious flooding the same year. Long-time residents know how quickly a storm can damage a driveway, break up a slab, or undermine a foundation that has not been properly maintained. We work across all of Hattiesburg and extend our service to surrounding communities including neighboring Biloxi and the full Mississippi Gulf Coast corridor.
