Concrete Contractors in Pungo, VA

Pungo property owners looking for concrete contractors usually have rural jobs in mind. Pungo is a farming community in the southern part of Virginia Beach, about 10 miles south of the city center and 15 miles southeast of Norfolk International Airport. Its only stoplight sits at Princess Anne Road and Indian River Road. Sandbridge Road serves as the city's Green Line, which helps keep the area south of it rural. We pour long driveways, barn and shop floors, equipment pads, patios and walks, and we repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

One of the original boroughs

Pungo was part of Princess Anne County until 1963, when the county merged with Virginia Beach and Pungo became one of the seven original boroughs. The name comes from the Machipungo, a branch of the Chesapeake tribe. Some of its landmarks are much older than the merger: Nimmo United Methodist Church was built in 1791. Farmland still surrounds the community, and the Pungo Strawberry Festival, which began in 1983, drew more than 120,000 people at its peak.

Slabs that carry real loads

On farms and horse properties, concrete has to carry trucks, trailers, tractors and livestock. A barn aisle, a wash rack, a feed room floor or a shop slab needs the right thickness, a strong base and joint spacing that matches the use. A long driveway needs to handle delivery and farm trucks without breaking up at the entrance. When you call, describe what will drive or sit on the slab and we design the job to that load.

Flat fields and wet ground

Like much of southern Virginia Beach, Pungo is flat, low farm country, and the city sees about 47 inches of rain a year at the airport and over 50 inches at Back Bay. Fields and yards can stay wet for days. We build a compacted stone base, set enough pitch for water to drain to a ditch or swale, and avoid pouring on saturated ground. On rural lots we also plan the truck route so the delivery does not rut a wet field.

Planning a rural pour

Rural jobs take a little more planning: distance from the plant, access for the truck, where the chute or pump can reach and where water will run once the slab is in. We walk the site with you before we price it, and we include the base work and drainage in the written estimate. If your driveway meets a public road, we check the city's requirements for the entrance first. Call (757) 520-4973 to set up a visit anywhere in Pungo.
