Slabs and Shop Floors
Pole barns, detached garages and workshop pads are a big share of Paulding County requests. We form the slab, set rebar on a compacted base, and power trowel the floor smooth enough to roll a jack or a tool chest across.
This page is about Dallas, GA, the county seat of Paulding County in northwest Georgia, not the city in Texas. If you are looking for a concrete contractor Dallas homeowners in Paulding County can call, Medina Concrete travels out from Powder Springs, roughly 25 minutes west on US 278.
Dallas is where the west metro starts to open up. Past the courthouse square the lots get bigger, the driveways get longer, and more properties have a barn, a detached shop or a spot cleared for one. That changes the kind of concrete people ask us for.
Most Dallas calls are for a slab under a building, a driveway that runs a long way from the road, or a wall to hold back a hillside. Francisco drives out to look at every one himself, because on acreage the access route for the truck matters as much as the pour. Closer in, we also cover Hiram on the way.
Concrete Work We Travel to Dallas For
Long Driveways
A driveway that runs a few hundred feet back to the house is a different job from a subdivision drive. We plan the pour in sections, add joints along the length, and pay attention to the low spots where runoff crosses on its way downhill.
Retaining Walls
Plenty of Dallas homesites were cut into a slope to get a flat pad for the house or the barn. A block or poured wall at the cut keeps red clay from sliding into the yard and gives you usable ground behind it.
Pergolas and Pavilions
Bigger lots leave room for a timber pavilion over a slab, a place to sit outside the shop or by the garden. We pour the pad and build the frame so the two line up.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Dallas, Georgia: Acreage, Barns and Rural Roads
Outside the city limits, Paulding County still has a lot of land on country roads, with homes set well back from the pavement. Those properties tend to need concrete that a subdivision house never does: a pad for a tractor, a floor for a metal building, a turnaround for a trailer at the end of a gravel drive.
On a rural lot the hard part is often getting there. We look at whether a mixer truck can reach the forms without tearing up the yard, whether the ground will hold it after a rain, and whether a pump or a longer chute run makes more sense. If the property is on septic, we keep heavy trucks well clear of the drain field.
Growth Along US 278 and the Silver Comet
Paulding has been one of the faster growing counties around Atlanta, and newer neighborhoods keep filling in along US 278 and the roads leading off it. Those homes ask for the usual patio, walkway and driveway work, and we handle those in Dallas too.
The Silver Comet Trail runs through town, and much of the land around it rolls up and down toward Pumpkinvine Creek. Slopes like that push rainwater across whatever you pour, so we grade every slab to shed water off the edge and away from the building it serves.
How a Dallas Estimate Works
Because Dallas is a longer drive than our Cobb County work, Francisco tries to see the whole property on one visit: the building site, the access road, the soil and any slope. He measures, explains the thickness and reinforcement the job calls for, and gives you a written number for free.
What drives the price on these jobs is mostly size, slab thickness, how much site prep the ground needs, and how far the concrete has to travel from the truck. Bigger jobs are the kind of work we are glad to make the trip for.
