Concrete Contractors in Cherryville, NC

Cherryville is in the northwest corner of Gaston County, about 16 miles from Gastonia, and it is among the highest towns we serve as concrete contractors, at roughly 955 feet. The town had 6,078 people in 2020 and an estimated 6,523 in 2025. Where a property has room, that can mean a longer driveway, a shop slab or a backyard big enough for a real patio.

A ridge between three watersheds

Cherryville sits on a divide among three watersheds: Muddy Creek and the Broad River, Indian Creek, and Beaverdam Creek. Indian and Beaverdam creeks both flow to the South Fork Catawba. A small city reservoir lies just southeast of town.

Sitting on a divide means water runs off in different directions depending on which side of town you are on. On one lot it may run toward the street, on another toward the back of the property. We check the slope on each lot and set the concrete so water leaves it in the right direction.

From White Pine to Cherryville

Settlers from Pennsylvania, including German, Dutch and Scots-Irish families, came in the late 1700s. The village grew at a crossroads on the Morganton-to-Charleston road and was called White Pine. The railroad arrived in 1862, and engineers began calling the place Cherryville after a resident planted cherry trees along the tracks. The town was incorporated in 1881, the first cotton mill was incorporated in 1891, and thirteen mills eventually opened. All of them have since closed.

Cherryville also gave rise to Carolina Freight Carriers, which began in 1932 with a single truck. The former Beam's Shell Service Station is now the C. Grier Beam Truck Museum on North Mountain Street.

Shops and long driveways

With bigger lots come bigger concrete projects. A detached shop slab needs the right thickness for the heaviest thing inside it, thicker edges where the walls sit, and a vapor barrier if it will be enclosed. A long driveway needs a base that holds up its full length and control joints at even spacing so cracks stay in line. Where a driveway meets a state road, we check what is required at the road edge before we pour.

Homes in town

Closer to the center of town, older homes need a different kind of help. Front walks have heaved, steps have pulled away from porches and driveways have cracked into pieces. We replace what cannot be saved and repair what can. A historic home near the old downtown may call for a simpler finish that fits the house, while a newer home may suit a stamped patio.

Older driveways on country roads

On the roads outside town, a driveway that started as gravel and was paved in pieces over the years tends to become a patchwork of old slabs at different heights, with gaps where water collects. Replacing the whole run at once, on one compacted base with planned joints, gives a smoother, longer-lasting surface. Where the driveway crosses a ditch or a low spot, we look at whether a culvert or a raised base is needed so water passes under rather than over.

Mountain Street and the old Post Road

NC 274 closely follows Mountain Street, the line of the Old Post Road that once ran between Salisbury and Spartanburg. Older homes along it include the 1922 Noah Benjamin Kendrick House at 402 N. Mountain Street, a designated Gaston County Historic Property. On streets like this, we keep new walks and steps in scale with the house.
