Serving Hattiesburg, MS and surrounding areas. (769) 390-9171
Hattiesburg Concrete Company serves Gulfport, MS with concrete pool decks, driveways, patios, slabs, and foundations built for the 65 inches of annual rainfall, the Gulf Coast humidity, and the mix of pre-Katrina and post-Katrina housing in Harrison County. We respond to every inquiry within one business day and provide written estimates before any work begins.
Gulfport homeowners run their pools most of the year, and a pool deck that collects standing water or develops surface cracks becomes a safety issue and a maintenance problem fast in the coastal heat and humidity. We build decks with correct drainage pitch, properly cured mixes for the Gulf Coast climate, and slip-resistant finishes. See our full concrete pool decks service for design options and what the process looks like.
Many Gulfport driveways were installed before Hurricane Katrina or replaced quickly in the years after the storm - and the ones that skipped proper subgrade compaction are showing it now. Gulfport's 65-inch annual rainfall works into every surface crack on a driveway that was poured without adequate base material and drainage pitch, widening problems each wet season.
Gulfport's warm season runs most of the year, which means outdoor patio surfaces take more foot traffic and UV exposure than in most of the country. A patio that does not slope away from the house and lacks control joints will crack and pool water within a few years of the Gulf Coast's wet-dry cycles and summer heat.
New construction and additions in Gulfport require slab foundations designed for the low, flat terrain and high moisture environment of Harrison County. Post-Katrina building codes in many Gulfport flood zones require elevated foundations or specific slab designs - we work with the local requirements to build foundations that meet code and handle the site conditions.
Gulfport neighborhoods have a mix of sidewalk conditions - some areas have city-maintained walks, others rely on property owners to maintain approaches, steps, and side entries. Salt air and persistent humidity accelerate surface deterioration on unprotected concrete, and older sections in mid-century neighborhoods often show advanced cracking and surface scaling.
Post-Katrina elevated homes in Gulfport require sturdy approach stairs that can handle years of coastal exposure. Original stairs on older pre-storm homes in the city's ranch-home neighborhoods often have spalled edges, heaved bases, or deteriorated surfaces from decades of Gulf Coast heat and moisture.
Gulfport receives about 65 inches of rain per year - well above the national average - and the city sits at low elevation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where drainage does not come easily. Flat, low-lying lots in Harrison County stay saturated longer after heavy rain than inland properties do. Any concrete poured without a compacted gravel subgrade and drainage design will begin absorbing that water through surface cracks, shifting with the wet-dry soil cycles, and developing settlement and cracking problems that compound each season. The Gulf Coast sun compounds the problem - concrete surfaces in Gulfport experience greater thermal expansion and contraction than in most of the country, which is why control joint placement and proper curing matter so much here.
The housing stock in Gulfport adds complexity. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 destroyed or severely damaged thousands of Gulfport homes, and large sections of the city were rebuilt in the years that followed - often to new FEMA flood elevation requirements that changed how foundations, pool decks, and hardscape are built near the water. That means a contractor working in Gulfport may be working on a 1960s ranch slab on one street and an elevated post-Katrina build on the next - and the approach to site preparation, drainage, and materials is different for each. Harrison County's mix of sandy and clay soils also varies by neighborhood, with properties closer to the coast sitting on looser, sandy ground and inland properties having heavier clay.
Our crew works throughout Gulfport regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The difference between a pool deck south of Highway 90 - where salt air exposure is real and the soil sits close to sea level - and a driveway in a newer subdivision off Highway 49 up north involves different material choices, subgrade prep, and drainage solutions. We bring those distinctions to every estimate.
Gulfport is Mississippi's second-largest city and the home of the Port of Gulfport, one of the most active ports in the Gulf South. The city's neighborhoods range from beach-adjacent homes near Jones Park and the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor to mid-century ranch homes in established inland neighborhoods and newer subdivisions farther north. The Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum anchors the waterfront, and the commercial corridors along Highway 90 and Highway 49 represent a significant share of the area's commercial concrete work. We are familiar with permit requirements through the City of Gulfport and the specific site conditions in Harrison County.
We also serve neighboring Biloxi along the Gulf Coast and Picayune to the northwest - both areas share the coastal climate demands that make subgrade preparation and drainage design non-negotiable on any concrete project.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and describe what you need. We respond to every inquiry within one business day - no waiting a week to hear back about a Gulfport project.
We visit your Gulfport property, look at the site, and assess drainage, subgrade conditions, and scope. You receive a written estimate before any work starts - no phone ballparks that change once we arrive.
We handle demolition of any existing surface, subgrade preparation, and gravel base installation before the pour. Summer pours in Gulfport are scheduled for early morning to prevent the surface from curing too fast in the Gulf Coast heat.
After the pour we leave the surface protected and return once it has cured. We walk through the finished work with you and answer any questions about sealing, maintenance, and what to expect from the surface over time in Gulfport's climate.
We serve Gulfport and all of Harrison County. Written estimates, no pressure, one business day reply.
(769) 390-9171Gulfport is Mississippi's second-largest city and the seat of Harrison County, sitting directly on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The city's housing stock is a product of its history - large sections of older mid-century ranch homes built between the 1950s and 1980s coexist with post-Katrina construction that followed completely different elevation and foundation requirements. The neighborhoods south of Highway 90, close to the beach and the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor, have the highest concentration of elevated and rebuilt homes. Inland areas to the north, including newer subdivisions near Highway 49, have more recently built homes on conventional slabs. The city's economy is anchored by the Port of Gulfport, the tourism and casino industry along the coast, and a significant healthcare and military workforce connected to the nearby base in Biloxi.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and Convention Center on the Gulfport waterfront is one of the most recognizable buildings on the coast and a point of reference for the beach-adjacent neighborhoods that surround it. The city draws visitors and long-term residents alike, and the mix of owner-occupied homes and rental properties means property conditions vary widely from block to block. We work on homes and commercial properties throughout Gulfport and know both the older in-town neighborhoods and the newer developments. Homeowners in neighboring Biloxi and further east in Pascagoula face similar coastal climate challenges and we serve those areas as well.
