Concrete you can drive, walk and build on in Brookline, MA
Essential Brookline Concrete Company builds and repairs concrete for homes and businesses, and we plan the base, the drainage and the timing of each pour before anyone orders a truck.
Concrete work for Brookline, MA homes and businesses
Concrete driveway building
We dig out the old driveway and pack a firm base, so the new slab doesn't sink with the dirt the way the old one did.
Concrete patio construction
Want a patio you can put a table and grill on? We pour it to fall away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone, brick or slate without laying every piece.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour front walks, side paths and the stretch to the street with a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives shoes some grip when it's wet.
Garage floor concrete
Cracked, dusty or sloped the wrong way? We replace garage floors with a slab that drains toward the door and carries a car's weight.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone, scored lines and smooth finishes, for homeowners and businesses who want the slab to look like part of the design.
Concrete retaining walls
A retaining wall holds back a slope so more of the yard is usable. Ours get rebar, the steel that ties the concrete together, and drainage behind them.
Concrete floor installation
We pour concrete floors for basements, workshops and commercial spaces over a packed subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and finish them flat and level.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck has to shed splash water fast. We slope it toward drains and use a textured finish that's kinder to wet, bare feet.
Concrete steps construction
We build front and back steps with every step the same height, so nobody catches a toe on an odd one, and set them on a packed base.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is a single pour that serves as both floor and footing, used under additions, garages and some homes. We plan the base and drainage first.
Foundation installation
Building an addition or a new house? We form and pour the walls it stands on, with me on site from layout until the forms come off.
Concrete parking lot building
We build concrete parking lots for shops, offices and apartment buildings, poured thicker than a home driveway to stand up to delivery trucks and daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under decks, porches, additions and walls that spreads their weight into the ground. We dig and pour them to the depth the plans call for.
Foundation raising
When a slab or part of the house sinks, doors stick and floors tilt. We lift it back toward level and fill the gap underneath.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut openings in foundation walls, trenches through slabs for pipes, and control joints, the shallow cuts that give a slab a planned place to crack.

Why Brookline homeowners call our crew
Owner on every job
I've run this business in Brookline since 2013, and I come out to look at the job myself. Our own crew does the work with me on site, so the person who quoted your job is the one standing next to it when the truck shows up.
Base and drainage first
We plan the parts you won't see once it's poured, like how deep we dig and pack the base, which way the water runs and what time of day we pour so the top doesn't come out weak and dusty. Concrete doesn't get a second draft, and a mistake down there shows up a winter later with a jackhammer attached.
Estimates you can compare
Our estimates spell out what's in and what's not, so you can line them up against other bids without guessing. The price mostly moves with size, how much old concrete comes out and how easy it is to get the truck in, and the schedule turns on the weather and whether the city wants a permit, which we check before we book.
