A concrete company in Wilmington NC that builds for sand, salt and storms
Anyone who has lived near the Cape Fear River knows this ground. It is sandy, flat and often wet. The water table sits close to the surface. Heavy rain, salt air and the occasional hurricane test every slab. You need a concrete company in Wilmington NC that plans for all of it.
Coastal Concrete Wilmington pours concrete patios, driveways and concrete slabs for homes and small businesses. We also pour walkways, carport slabs, boat and RV pads and shop slabs, and we repair what can be saved.
We are based at 3104 Casa Court in the 28409 area. Every job starts with a visit, a tape measure and a plain talk about what you need, so you know what you are paying for before we mix a single yard of concrete.

Concrete patios
A patio is where your family gathers, so it should feel good under bare feet and look right beside your home. We plan the shape, the slope and the finish with you, from a simple broom surface to color and borders that match your siding or brick.
Driveways
Your driveway carries daily traffic and heavy loads, so it needs thickness, steel and good drainage. We build new drives and replace worn ones, with joints placed to keep cracks neat, thick edges where the tires roll and a grip finish for rainy days.
Concrete slabs
Slabs are the base of a shop, a garage, a carport, a pad or an addition. We compact the sand, set steel on supports, pour at the right thickness and cure the slab slowly. On the coast, that careful base work keeps a slab flat through wet seasons.
How a locally owned crew works
We plan for the water
Sandy soil drains fast, but the water table is high. We compact the base, add steel and shape every slab so water leaves.
We put it in writing
You get a free written estimate that lists the work, the thickness and the price, so you can compare fairly.
We tell you the truth
If a repair will do, we say so. If a slab has to be replaced, we show you why. No pressure and no surprises.
We pick up the phone
Call any day from 5 AM to 10 PM. A real person answers and helps you plan the job.
What Wilmington soil and weather mean for your concrete
Wilmington sits on the coastal plain, where the ground is mostly sand over layers of clay and shell. Sand drains well, but it can wash out under a slab, especially after a big storm. The water table is shallow in many places, and low lots can hold water after a heavy rain.
Salt air is the other challenge. It eats at steel and dulls surfaces near the water. Humid summers grow green algae on shaded concrete. A good concrete company in Wilmington NC covers the steel with enough concrete, slopes every slab so water leaves and recommends a sealer that keeps salt and moisture out.
Those details are not flashy, but they are why a slab stays flat and clean. Read about concrete leveling, concrete repair and concrete staining and sealing to see how we fix and protect concrete.
A Wilmington company you can reach and trust
Coastal Concrete Wilmington is locally owned and based right here at 3104 Casa Court. We are not a big national outfit with a call center. When you phone us, you reach the crew that will be on your street. We answer early and late, from 5 AM to 10 PM, because a lot of our customers work long days.
We would rather earn a call back than make a quick sale. If we do the work right, you tell a neighbor, and that is how this company grows. We also know the area, from the older streets near Winter Park to new lots in Murraysville and out to the beaches at Oak Island.
Our crew also keeps up with local rules. Wilmington and New Hanover County have limits on hard surface and stormwater, and homes near the water can face flood zone and coastal rules. We check what applies to your lot before we pour, we call NC811 before we dig and we tell you plainly if a permit or an HOA approval is needed. That saves you from stop work orders, rework and surprise costs, and it keeps your project moving from the first call to the final cleanup.
That knowledge goes into every estimate we write.

What to expect when we pour at your Wilmington home
We arrive early, because coastal summer afternoons bring heat and storms. The crew checks the forms, the steel and the base one more time, and we walk the job with you. If anything looks different from the plan, we talk before the first truck backs in.
Then the pour moves quickly. Concrete is placed, leveled and floated, and the finish goes on at the right moment. We cut joints, apply a curing product and set barriers so nothing walks across the surface. Most home pours finish in a few hours.
Before we leave, we clean the site and tell you exactly when you can walk, drive and park on the new concrete. A good concrete company in Wilmington NC also checks back. We call after the cure to make sure you are happy, and we answer questions about sealing, cleaning and care.
Wilmington and the communities around it

Wilmington concrete questions, answered plainly
Who is the best concrete company in Wilmington NC for a new driveway or patio?
The best fit is a crew that shows you a written price and explains the base work, the steel and the curing plan. A driveway or patio is only as good as the ground under it, and Wilmington's sandy, wet ground makes that matter even more. Ask each company how thick they pour, how they prepare the base and how they handle water and storms.
Coastal Concrete Wilmington is locally owned, and we answer the phone every day from 5 AM to 10 PM. We give free written estimates for patios, driveways and slabs. Compare bids by what they include, not just by the lowest number. A cheap bid that skips the base or the steel can cost you a second slab in a few years, and on the coast, repeat work gets expensive fast.
How much does concrete cost in Wilmington?
Concrete prices change with the size of the job, the thickness, the base work, the finish and how easy the site is to reach. A small pad costs far less than a long driveway or a shop floor. A plain broom finish costs less than color, exposed stone or stamped patterns. Tearing out and hauling away old concrete adds to the total, and so does extra fill when a lot sits low.
We do not quote by phone, because every lot is different. A free estimate from Coastal Concrete Wilmington includes a visit, measurements and a written price that lists what is included. If you have a budget, tell us. We can show you where to spend and where to save, so you get the most from a concrete company in Wilmington NC without paying for extras you do not need.
How long does new concrete take to cure on the coast?
Concrete hardens fast, but it keeps getting stronger for weeks. You can usually walk on a new slab after a day or two. Cars should wait about seven days, and heavy trucks, boats on trailers and RVs should wait about 28 days, when the concrete reaches its design strength. Heat speeds the cure, and cool weather slows it.
Coastal weather adds a twist. Humidity helps concrete cure, but a hot afternoon thunderstorm can ruin a fresh surface in minutes. So we watch the radar, start early and keep covers on the truck. We keep the surface damp or covered, and we tell you the exact day your slab is ready for each kind of use. We mark the slab so no one drives over it by mistake.
Do you serve areas outside Wilmington?
Yes. Coastal Concrete Wilmington serves Wilmington and the communities around it, including Monkey Junction, Masonboro, Myrtle Grove, Murraysville, Winter Park, Scotts Hill, Navassa, Rocky Point, Burgaw, Oak Island, Sneads Ferry and Holly Ridge. Each area has its own page with local notes on soil, water and common projects.
If your town is not on the list, call anyway. We sometimes take jobs in nearby communities, depending on the size of the project and our schedule. Tell us your address when you call, and we will let you know if we can help and when we can come out for a free estimate.
Can concrete be poured in hurricane season?
Yes, with a plan. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and most days in that stretch are fine for a pour. The key is the forecast. We watch storms days ahead, and we will move or pause a job when a tropical system is on the way. Fresh concrete needs a dry day, and it also needs a stable site, with no loose materials that could blow around.
After a storm, we can help with repairs. Flooding can wash out the sand under a slab, and wind can toss debris onto concrete. See our pages on concrete repair and concrete leveling. When the weather is too risky, we call you and reschedule. A short delay beats a damaged slab.
What should I do before my concrete job starts?
A few simple steps help. Move cars, boats, furniture and planters out of the work area. Tell us about gates, pets, sprinklers, septic tanks and wells, so we can protect them. If you have an HOA, get approval in writing before the pour. Make sure we can reach the spot, and tell us about low branches and soft sand.
We call NC811 before digging, which is a free service that marks public utility lines, and we ask you about private lines. On pour day, keep children and pets away from the work area. After the pour, stay off the slab until we say it is safe, and keep sprinklers pointed away from it for a few days. We leave simple care notes for you.
