A small US-70 town with restaurant, farm, and home work
Mason is a Tipton County town on US-70 with about 1,600 residents. It is known for its restaurants, so kitchen and dining-room floors are a real part of the work here. We’re a concrete contractor in Mason, TN, and our Memphis team drives about 45 miles northeast to pour driveways, shop slabs, garage coatings, and polished floors. Get your price in 2 minutes.
Those kitchens, dining rooms, and service areas need a floor spec the health inspector and the kitchen crew both accept. Mason also sits a short run on US-70 from the Ford BlueOval City megasite at Stanton, pulling new commercial and residential construction into the surrounding corridor.
Does the West Tennessee ground and local aggregate change how we pour?
Yes. Driveways and shop slabs in Tipton County sit on West Tennessee Coastal Plain loess and river-bottom alluvium near the Loosahatchie and Hatchie drainages. On the upland cotton fields, that loess profile is fairly stable once graded and compacted. In the low spots closer to the creek bottoms, the ground is softer and carries a seasonally elevated water table. For those sites, subgrade compaction and drainage prep are the controlling steps before concrete goes down, not an afterthought.
We pour at 4,000 PSI minimum with fiber mesh and cut control joints matched to slab thickness. For projects near the bottomlands, the vapor barrier matters too: any slab that will eventually carry a coating or polish needs the moisture pathway managed at the pour, not remediated after the fact.
Concrete aggregate in this part of West Tennessee mixes Mississippi-drainage chert sand and gravel from local pits with crushed limestone brought in from middle Tennessee. Ground and honed, those mixes produce a warm, speckled cream tone with tan, honey, and reddish-brown pebble flecks. Buzzi Unicem USA Ready-Mix - Millington, a ready-mix plant about 21 miles from Mason, supplies the region.
What types of concrete does Mason send us?
The project mix here breaks into three distinct categories. Restaurant and retail slab work is part of the mix that most rural Tipton County towns do not see. A town known for food also sees kitchen remodels, dining room slab prep, and storefront flatwork. Civic and main-street flatwork rounds out the commercial side.
Farm shop and equipment-barn pads make up a second tier. The cotton-and-soybean fields around Mason run with the standard West Tennessee working-farm profile: detached shops, covered equipment storage, and the occasional barndominium where the owners want a finished floor inside. These slabs carry heavier loads than a residential driveway, need thickened slab edges at overhead doors, and often warrant a heavier reinforcement schedule.
Residential driveways and garage floors are the third leg. A two-car driveway runs $6.96 to $16.43 per square foot depending on thickness and finish. See driveway details.
Restaurant and kitchen floors: the spec matters
Food-service floors in Mason need a surface the health inspector approves: no open joints that trap debris, no coatings that peel or blister at the edges, and a CSP prep profile the coating manufacturer warrants. We spec polyaspartic on most kitchen and service areas; the cure window is short, which limits the downtime on a working kitchen.
Which concrete flooring services does our Memphis team bring to Mason?
Driveways and approaches. Standard residential pour runs 4 inches with fiber mesh; heavier approaches for commercial or farm access go 5 to 6 inches with rebar. Control joints every 8 to 10 feet. Driveway details.
Shop and barn slabs. Working-building floors in Mason carry equipment, vehicles, and stored product. Thickened edges at overhead door openings and a moisture vapor barrier before the pour are standard on any slab that will later be coated. Shop slab details.
Patios and flatwork. Same soil zone as the driveways, same prep spec. Finish options run from a standard broom texture to a light salt finish. Patio details.
Garage floor coatings. Diamond-grinding to CSP 3 before any product goes down. Chip-broadcast polyurea handles most residential garages. Polyaspartic is the right call for kitchens, shops, and anything with chemical exposure. Garage floor coatings.
Polished concrete. A good aggregate profile for polish work: those chert-sand and pebble mixes read as a warm cream with natural flecks. We grind down to the cream level and seal for barndominium interiors and shop floors where the owner wants a finished surface without tile or carpet. Polished concrete details.
Our Pour-4-Polish process runs the pour and the finish as one scope when a new slab needs both.
