Advanced Little Rock Concrete Company works throughout Sherwood building and replacing concrete sidewalks, driveways, patios, and foundations. We know the brick ranch neighborhoods, the clay soil, and the mature trees that create work here every year. We reply within one business day.
Sherwood sidewalks in neighborhoods built in the 1970s and 1980s have been lifting and cracking for decades - pushed up by tree roots and shifted by clay soil that never stops moving. New concrete sidewalks with proper root mitigation and the right base are the only lasting fix for this problem. We handle the removal, base prep, and new pour so the work does not have to be redone in five years.
Driveways in older Sherwood neighborhoods have the same clay soil and tree root problems as the sidewalks, and they carry vehicle traffic on top of that. A new driveway poured over a properly compacted base with control joints placed to manage cracking will hold up through many more Arkansas winters than one just dropped on whatever was underneath before.
Sherwood homes built between the 1970s and 1990s typically have attached garages with original concrete floors that are now 30 to 50 years old. These floors often show surface wear, staining, and cracks from soil movement over the decades. A new garage floor changes how the space looks and how it performs under daily vehicle and foot traffic.
Sherwood families who have lived in their homes for 20 or 30 years often decide to add or expand patio space as they think about how they want to use their yard long-term. A concrete patio built on a solid base holds up to hot Arkansas summers and wet springs without the warping, splintering, or staining that wood decking picks up over time.
Slab foundations in Sherwood settle when clay soil dries out and pulls back, leaving voids under the slab. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s in Pulaski County have had decades of wet-dry soil cycles working on their foundations. When doors stick, floors feel uneven, or cracks appear at corners of windows and doors, foundation settling is often the cause and needs to be addressed before the problem compounds.
Some Sherwood lots, particularly those in older sections of the city, have grade changes that need to be managed. Concrete retaining walls hold soil in place, prevent erosion during heavy spring rainfalls, and can create usable level yard space from terrain that would otherwise wash away or require constant maintenance to keep stable.
Sherwood grew fast through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s as families moved north out of Little Rock looking for more space and newer homes. Most of that housing stock is now 25 to 55 years old - old enough that the original concrete work on those properties is at the end of its useful life or well past it. The clay soil underneath Sherwood's neighborhoods has been moving with every wet season and every dry summer for four or five decades, and the concrete that was poured during the city's growth years was rarely given the base depth or joint layout needed to absorb that long-term movement. The result is widespread flatwork cracking, sidewalk heaving, and foundation settling throughout the older parts of the city.
Winters in Sherwood put additional stress on concrete that is already being tested by the soil. Temperatures drop into the low 20s Fahrenheit and then climb back above freezing multiple times each winter, and every freeze-thaw cycle widens existing cracks and spalls surface material. Newer subdivisions on the northern and eastern edges of Sherwood - homes from the 1990s and 2000s - are hitting the age where first-generation concrete flatwork starts showing real wear. The right approach in this city depends on knowing what the ground is doing under the slab, not just what the surface looks like from the street.
Our crew works in Sherwood regularly, and we understand what concrete work looks like on properties throughout this city. The City of Sherwood processes permits and inspections for larger structural and foundation work, and we know the requirements well enough to advise you on what your specific job will need before we schedule anything.
Sherwood has two distinct types of work for a concrete contractor. The older neighborhoods in the central and western parts of the city - brick ranch homes along streets off Highway 107 and near the older commercial corridor - tend to need sidewalk and driveway replacement where tree roots and decades of clay soil cycling have done real damage. The newer subdivisions on the east side of Sherwood are reaching the 20- to 25-year mark, which is when first-generation garage floors, driveways, and patios in those homes start developing problems for the first time. We have done both types of work extensively in this city.
Sherwood sits between Little Rock and Jacksonville, and we cover both neighboring cities. If your property need is on the Jacksonville side, our Jacksonville service covers that area as well. We also serve homeowners throughout North Little Rock and can often schedule work across these adjacent cities in the same week.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form on this site. We get back to every Sherwood inquiry within one business day and ask a few questions to understand the job before we schedule the site visit.
We come to the property, look at what the soil is doing, check the existing concrete, and measure the area. The estimate is free and written, breaking out the base prep, materials, and labor so you have a clear picture of what the job costs and why.
We remove old concrete, address root or drainage issues underneath, compact the base, set the forms, and pour. Most residential jobs in Sherwood are complete in one to two days, though the concrete needs several days to cure before it takes vehicle traffic.
We finish the surface, apply a curing compound if the weather calls for it, and clean up the site the same day. Before we leave we walk you through the curing timeline so you know when each milestone is and what the concrete can handle at each stage.

(501) 621-2844Sherwood is a city of around 32,000 to 33,000 people in Pulaski County, sitting just north of Little Rock along the Highway 67/167 corridor. The city grew rapidly as a suburb from the 1970s through the 1990s, and that era of growth defines most of the housing stock. Brick ranch homes are the dominant style in the older, central neighborhoods, with full brick veneer or brick-and-siding combinations common on homes built through the 1980s. Newer subdivisions on the northern and eastern edges have more traditional two-story homes with vinyl siding or fiber cement exteriors. Sherwood is heavily owner-occupied, with most residents being long-term homeowners who have a real stake in the property they maintain.
The city shares a border with Jacksonville to the north, which is home to Little Rock Air Force Base. A significant number of Sherwood residents are active-duty military, veterans, or civilian base employees, which creates a mix of long-term residents with 20 or 30 years in the same home and military families who need to find reliable contractors quickly after a move. The Sherwood Aquatic Center and the broader parks system make it a community people genuinely enjoy living in, and the short drive into Little Rock keeps it connected to everything the metro offers. We work across Sherwood and the surrounding Pulaski County communities, including Little Rock to the south.
