Serving Florence, SC and surrounding areas. (854) 204-1023
Florence Concrete is a concrete contractor serving Conway, SC, specializing in pool decks, driveways, slab foundations, and patios - with a crew experienced in Horry County coastal plain soils and the drainage challenges of Conway's flat lots, responding to all inquiries within one business day.
Every project below is something we do regularly in Conway. The city's flat coastal plain lots, sandy and clay mix soil, and proximity to the Waccamaw River all shape how concrete is built and how it holds up here.
Conway properties with in-ground pools need decks that handle the combination of high humidity, heavy summer rain, and soil that can shift on flat lots - a standard pour without proper drainage planning leads to pooling water and eventual slab failure. We build pool decks with the slope and base preparation that Horry County properties require. Learn about our concrete pool deck work.
Conway's coastal plain soil - sandy in some areas, clay-heavy in others - creates unpredictable base conditions for driveways. Homes in the older neighborhoods around downtown Conway often have driveways that are decades old and showing the full effect of that soil movement. We assess base conditions before every pour and compact the subgrade to match what the soil actually requires.
Conway's flat terrain means new slabs for additions and outbuildings need careful attention to grade and edge drainage, or water will find its way under the slab and cause settling. Properties close to low-lying ground near the Waccamaw River require additional moisture management steps that are not always standard in drier parts of the state.
Conway has a long outdoor season, and a properly sloped concrete patio is the most durable option for a backyard that gets real use in a humid coastal climate. We build every patio to drain away from the house - critical in a city where flat yards and heavy summer rain can push water toward the foundation if the concrete is not graded correctly.
In Conway's historic downtown and the older neighborhoods near Coastal Carolina University, original sidewalks have settled and cracked over decades of soil movement and tree root pressure. Replacing them requires matching grade with adjacent surfaces and following city sidewalk specifications, which we handle as part of the permit process.
Many of Conway's older homes have front steps that have cracked or settled from years of moisture in the soil beneath them - a common problem when the original concrete was not reinforced or the base was not compacted. We replace failing steps with reinforced concrete built to current code dimensions so the entry is safe and level.
Conway sits in the South Carolina coastal plain, where the soil is a layered mix of sand and clay that behaves differently depending on how much rain has fallen recently. Many of the city's homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s on flat lots that do not have natural drainage slopes. As a result, moisture finds its way under slabs, driveways, and pool decks repeatedly over the life of the structure - and concrete that was not built with this in mind shows it early. The clay layers in Horry County soils expand when saturated and contract during dry summer stretches, and that repeated movement is what cracks most concrete in this area long before the material itself fails.
The climate adds real seasonal pressure. Conway gets around 50 inches of rain per year - much of it in heavy afternoon storms from June through September - and the city sits close enough to the coast to feel the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes that move inland from the Grand Strand. Hurricane Florence in 2018 caused serious flooding in parts of Conway, and homeowners near the Waccamaw River know firsthand how fast water rises on this flat terrain. Concrete that was built with proper drainage, sealed edges, and adequate base depth is what holds up through seasons like that.
Our crew works throughout Conway regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Conway is the county seat of Horry County and home to Coastal Carolina University, which means the city has a mix of long-term homeowners in established neighborhoods and a growing ring of newer subdivisions on the outskirts. The older homes closer to downtown and the Conway Riverwalk along the Waccamaw River have concrete needs that differ significantly from the newer subdivisions off Highway 501 - and we know how to approach both.
Conway's flat lots and the proximity of many properties to low-lying ground near the river require drainage planning on every concrete job - something that is easy to skip but shows up clearly in the long-term performance of the slab. We work with the City of Conway's building department for permits and follow Horry County requirements for projects that fall outside city limits. We also serve Myrtle Beach, SC to the southeast and Marion, SC to the north, covering the full stretch of Horry and Marion counties.
Reach out by phone or contact form and we will follow up within one business day. Conway properties vary enough in soil conditions and drainage needs that we do not provide estimates by phone - a site visit is how we get you an accurate number.
We visit the property, assess base conditions, drainage grade, and any existing concrete, and give you a written estimate that covers all work - base prep, the pour, permits, and cleanup. No surprise line items after the job starts.
We handle all required permits with the City of Conway or Horry County before any work begins. Scheduling takes Conway's wet summer season into account, and we communicate any weather-related adjustments before your scheduled start date.
The concrete is poured, finished, and left to cure with clear timing guidance - typically 48 hours before foot traffic and seven days before vehicles. We leave the site clean and walk through the finished work with you before we go.
We serve Conway and all of Horry County. No phone quotes - we come to your property, assess the conditions, and give you a written estimate with no obligation.
(854) 204-1023Conway is the county seat of Horry County and home to roughly 25,000 residents, making it the largest inland city in the county. The city sits about 15 miles from the coast along the Waccamaw River, which shapes both the local landscape and the character of its neighborhoods. Downtown Conway has a designated Historic District with well-preserved early 20th-century buildings and homes, many of them wood-frame construction on modest in-town lots. The Riverwalk boardwalk along the Waccamaw is a central gathering point for the community and gives the older part of town a distinct character that sets it apart from the beach communities nearby.
The city has grown considerably over the past two decades, and newer subdivisions have expanded well beyond the historic core along corridors like Highway 501. Those newer neighborhoods have a different feel - larger lots, attached garages, and homes built in the 2000s and 2010s that are now entering their maintenance years. Conway also neighbors Myrtle Beach, SC to the southeast and is a practical base for homeowners throughout central Horry County looking for a contractor who knows the area. For homeowners in the Pee Dee region farther north, Marion, SC is also within our regular service territory.
