A concrete company that reads the ground and the road before it orders the truck
We started because the Grand Strand's concrete was failing in the same three places on every street — the apron, the pool deck and the garage door — and the fix wasn't a better finish. It was a compacted base, reinforcement that doesn't rust, and knowing whose right-of-way the apron sits in.
The Grand Strand is sixty miles of beach towns built on a Pleistocene sand ridge between the ocean and the Waterway, with clay and Carolina bays behind it, a water table a foot or two down on the flats, salt in the air, and a county that has grown by more than a fifth since 2020. That's a hard place to pour concrete and an easy place to pour it badly. The 1970s–90s driveways in Myrtle Beach and Surfside dropped at the apron because nobody compacted the utility trench. The pool decks a block from the ocean spalled because wire mesh was laid on the sand instead of chaired into the slab. The shop floors in Conway heaved because clay swells. None of those were finish problems.
Myrtle Beach Concrete Co. is a locally operated concrete company — not a franchise, not a lead-gen call center — that books and manages residential concrete across Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Socastee, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Little River and the rest of Horry and Georgetown counties. The crews that work through us carry general liability and workers' compensation and hold the City of Myrtle Beach business license and the state's residential contractor credentials the city asks for; the certificate is available before anyone backs a truck up your drive. We pull the right permit for the road — the city's six-inch apron permit, the county's free encroachment permit, SCDOT's on the highways — and we draw the HOA application in the communities that want one.
What we stand on
Measure first, then quote
We walk the site, measure, look at where the water goes and whose right-of-way the apron is in, and leave an itemized written price good for thirty days. Removal, base, thickness, reinforcement, finish, joints, the permit and its inspections — every line.
Build the base for the ground
Compacted subgrade and base course on sand; a deeper cut and a granular base on clay; compaction testing on filled ground. Four inches of good concrete on a real base outlasts six inches on loose fill.
Reinforce for the salt
Fiber mesh or epoxy-coated steel on chairs, a dense air-entrained mix, and a sealer on decorative work within reach of the ocean. No bare mesh on the sand, ever.
Respect the water
Grade away from the house without sending it next door, keep the ditch and swale flowing, size the culvert to the ditch, and don't add fill in a flood zone without the approval it needs.
Answer the phone — 24/7
A person picks up any hour. Estimates are usually scheduled within a day or two, pours start at first light to beat the heat and the afternoon storms, and we come back to cut joints and seal when the slab is ready.
