FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
The 4-2-1 rule stands for 4 parts gravel, 2 parts sand, and 1 part cement. It’s a simple mix that works for general-purpose jobs. But at Gillespie Concrete Construction, based in Manchester, TN, we adjust the mix depending on what’s needed—whether it’s a heavy-duty slab or a clean, long-lasting driveway for a home in Middle Tennessee.
-
Concrete needs to be poured within 90 minutes of mixing, or it starts losing strength. That’s why timing is everything. At Gillespie Concrete Construction, we coordinate every job across Manchester and surrounding areas to make sure your concrete is delivered and poured at the right time.
-
Not always. Adding more cement can actually make concrete more prone to cracking if the mix isn’t balanced. We use the proper ratios and proven methods to create concrete that’s strong and built to last—something our Middle Tennessee customers rely on.
-
Concrete typically sets in 24 to 48 hours, but full curing takes around 28 days. If you’re in Manchester or anywhere in the surrounding area, we’ll walk you through exactly when your slab is ready for foot traffic, vehicles, or the next step in your project.
-
Asphalt is cheaper up front, but concrete tends to last much longer with less maintenance—especially with the weather swings we see in Middle Tennessee. Gillespie Concrete Construction helps homeowners make the best long-term investment for their driveways.
-
Look for a company with experience, insurance, and great local references. Ask about past jobs and whether they serve your area. Gillespie Concrete Construction has been pouring concrete across Manchester and surrounding Middle Tennessee towns since 2010. We don’t cut corners—and our work speaks for itself.
-
A 4,000 PSI mix with proper reinforcement is ideal for most driveways in Middle Tennessee. We also focus on proper base prep and drainage so it lasts for decades. Whether it’s a simple broom finish or something custom, we’ve got you covered.
-
Yes—thicker concrete holds up better, especially when reinforced with rebar or wire mesh. That’s why we always recommend the right thickness based on your needs. For driveways, patios, or slabs across Middle Tennessee, we make sure the job is done right from the ground up.
