Concrete Challenges in Somerville's Dense Urban Setting
Somerville's compact properties create unique concrete access challenges. Your narrow side yards, tight driveways, and buildings close to property lines mean we often need concrete pumps and specialized equipment. We work in neighborhoods like Spring Hill and Winter Hill weekly, so we know how to navigate these constraints.
Historic homes throughout Somerville have foundations that have settled over 100-plus years. Many properties near Prospect Hill and Teele Square show signs of this settling through cracked basement floors, tilting front steps, and uneven garage slabs. We assess the root cause before recommending repairs so your fix actually lasts.
Street parking is tight here. We coordinate concrete deliveries carefully and communicate with your neighbors when our equipment needs temporary street access. Most Somerville projects require city permits for street use, which we handle for you.
Making the Most of Small Somerville Yards
Most Somerville properties have compact yards where every square foot counts. We design concrete patios that maximize your usable outdoor space without overwhelming your property. Smart layout and proper grading turn even tiny backyards into functional entertaining areas.
Driveways in Somerville tend to be narrow and see constant use. Many properties have parking for two vehicles but limited turnaround space. We pour driveways with proper thickness and reinforcement for this heavy use pattern, not the lighter residential specs that crack quickly.
Front walkways and steps get lots of traffic here. Your path from sidewalk to front door needs to handle daily use, winter salt, and freeze-thaw cycles. We install walkways with proper slope for drainage and cut control joints to manage cracking predictably.
Working with Somerville Building Requirements
Somerville requires permits for most concrete work beyond simple repairs. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with the city. This protects you legally and ensures your work meets current codes for structural integrity and drainage.
Many Somerville neighborhoods have strict stormwater management requirements. Your new driveway or patio cannot simply drain onto the street. We design drainage systems that comply with city regulations while protecting your foundation from water damage.
Historic district properties have additional restrictions. If your home is in one of these areas, we work within the guidelines while still delivering quality concrete work. Often this means matching existing materials and patterns rather than completely changing your property's appearance.
Shared driveways are common in Somerville where properties sit close together. We coordinate with adjacent property owners when work affects shared surfaces. Clear communication prevents disputes and ensures everyone understands the project scope and timeline.
