Boston Concrete handles every residential concrete job, driveways, patios, garage and basement floors, foundations, steps, sidewalks and more, formed, poured and finished by one licensed local crew. Free written estimate on every project.
From the driveway at the curb to the floor in the basement, the same crew handles forming, pouring and finishing. Tap a service to see finishes, options and what to expect.
The driveway is the most-requested residential concrete job in Boston, and the one most exposed to freeze-thaw and de-icing salt. A concrete driveway that lasts starts under the surface: a properly excavated and compacted gravel base, the right slab thickness for vehicle loads, and an air-entrained mix that flexes with the cold instead of fighting it.
After the pour, control joints are cut at planned intervals so shrinkage follows a clean line, and sealing keeps water and salt out. The same crew and the same standards carry into the flatwork around it, backyard patios, sidewalks and walkways and garage floor coatings, so every surface on the property ages the same way.
Want the numbers first? Our concrete cost guide breaks down driveway pricing by finish and size before you ever book a site visit.
We meet you at the house, measure the area, and talk through finishes, drainage and how the new slab ties into your yard, then leave a written, itemised quote with a firm price.
Prep, protect and form
On start day we protect your landscaping, handle tear-out and excavation, build and compact the gravel base, and set the forms so the pour sits exactly where it should.
Pour, finish and joint
The crew places and finishes the concrete in the finish you chose, broom, stamped, exposed or polished, then cuts control joints so any movement follows a clean line.
Cure, clean up and hand off
We clean the site, walk the finished work with you, and leave a simple cure-and-care schedule so you know exactly when each surface is ready to use.
Common questions
Residential Concrete Questions, Answered
Permits, yard access, finishes and warranty on a residential concrete project in Boston.
Boston Concrete handles the full residential range: concrete driveways, patios, polished and epoxy floors, garage floors, foundations, steps and stairs, sidewalks and walkways, basement concrete, retaining walls and countertops. One licensed local crew forms, pours and finishes every job.
It depends on the project. Flatwork like a driveway or patio replacement usually does not need one, while concrete foundations, structural steps and taller retaining walls often do. We tell you upfront what your job needs and can pull the permit as part of the project.
Yes. Most Boston backyards are reached with a concrete pump or wheelbarrow runs when a truck cannot back in. We check access on the free site visit and build it into the quote, so a fenced yard or a narrow side gate is not a dealbreaker for a patio or pool deck.
Every finish lasts when the base and mix are right, but broom and exposed-aggregate finishes shed water and hide wear better than a smooth trowel finish on outdoor slabs. Sealed decorative finishes hold up too; they just want resealing every few years. We match the finish to where the slab lives.
Yes. Our workmanship is warranted, and we walk you through what is covered plus the cure-and-care steps that keep it that way at the final handoff. The written, itemised quote stays with you as the record of exactly what was agreed.
Replaced our crumbling front steps and ran a new walkway out to the driveway. The rise is even on every step, the broom finish matches, and the railing posts line up clean.

★★★★★
Poured a new basement floor after the old one was torn out. It came out flat enough that the laminate went down without a single shim. Tidy crew and a clear cure schedule.

★★★★★
Broom-finish pool deck and a fire-pit pad in the same week. The slope drains away from the house exactly like they promised and the colour is consistent across both pours.

★★★★★
Built a poured retaining wall to hold back the side yard and tied a new sidewalk into it. Engineered, drained right, and it has not budged through a full freeze-thaw.
