Plan your next concrete project in Fairhope.

Local decisions first

Protect utilities and the public crossing

Fairhope’s driveway and sidewalk guidance addresses utility-service boxes and obstruction of public space. Sketch the private driveway, sidewalk crossing and any visible utility covers separately. Have the contractor explain how the finished levels and access protect those features. The city Building Department is the starting resource for confirming the actual scope and current requirements. Include drainage observations and any planned covered structure; do not assume a patio and a structural slab receive the same review.

Prepare the right kind of new-concrete request

For a new driveway, note vehicle use and the street connection. For a patio, mark furniture space and door transitions. For a residential slab, describe the planned structure and provide any drawings. These are different scopes; do not compare them on area alone.

Give every bidder the same preliminary dimensions, photos and intended-use description. Ask who determines the design, checks local requirements and coordinates inspections. A volume calculation helps explain geometry but cannot specify a structural slab or final order.
