Concrete and hardscaping work requires precise planning, proper grading, and expert installation to ensure performance in all weather conditions. Whether you're upgrading your home’s exterior or expanding outdoor living areas, we approach each project with attention to function, aesthetics, and code compliance.
Concrete Installation and Finishing
Concrete work forms the foundation of many outdoor upgrades. Our services include everything from standard flatwork to stamped and colored concrete finishes designed to elevate curb appeal and surface longevity.
Driveways and Parking Pads
Concrete driveways are one of the most requested services in Cranberry Township. We remove existing surfaces where necessary, grade the sub-base for proper drainage, and pour reinforced concrete with expansion joints to prevent cracking. Parking pads and turnarounds are also installed with structural considerations for vehicle loads and township setback requirements.
Walkways and Sidewalks
We install concrete walkways that connect entryways, patios, and gardens with smooth transitions and ADA-compliant slopes where needed. Clients may opt for broom-finish surfaces or decorative textures depending on aesthetic preferences and slip-resistance requirements.
Patios and Outdoor Slabs
Concrete patios serve as the foundation for many outdoor living spaces. Our patio installations include drainage planning, perimeter forming, and finish options such as exposed aggregate, textured stamping, or acid staining. We ensure proper slope away from the home to prevent pooling and foundation issues.
Decorative Concrete and Custom Finishes
In addition to standard gray flatwork, Creedon and Company offers decorative concrete options that allow homeowners to personalize their outdoor spaces while maintaining the performance benefits of concrete.
Stamped Concrete Designs
Stamped concrete replicates the appearance of natural materials like stone, brick, or slate. Popular in patios, pool decks, and entryways, these installations combine texture, pattern, and color for a high-end finish. We use high-strength mixes and sealants to ensure the pattern remains visible and resistant to wear.
Colored and Textured Concrete
Coloring agents can be added to concrete mixes or applied topically to create custom hues. These finishes are often paired with light texturing or broom finishes for added depth and visual interest. Colored concrete is ideal for walkways, porches, and patio borders.
Hardscaping Construction and Outdoor Structures
Hardscaping extends beyond concrete flatwork to include structural features that define and enhance outdoor spaces. These elements are built to handle regional freeze-thaw cycles, sloped terrain, and drainage needs common to Cranberry Township landscapes.
Retaining Walls and Garden Borders
We build retaining walls using concrete blocks, poured concrete, or natural stone depending on project goals. These structures are used to level yards, prevent erosion, and add dimension to landscape designs. Proper footings, geogrid reinforcement, and weep holes are incorporated to ensure wall stability and drainage.
Steps and Stair Systems
Outdoor stair systems are custom-built with reinforced concrete or masonry to provide safe access across elevation changes. We match stair dimensions to existing grades and incorporate handrails or lighting where required by building codes.
Fire Pits and Seating Areas
Hardscape features such as built-in fire pits, seat walls, and outdoor lounges are constructed with heat-resistant materials and integrated with adjacent patios or outdoor kitchens. We coordinate the placement and design to support safe usage and aesthetic cohesion.
Drainage Planning and Site Preparation
Proper site preparation and drainage control are critical to the performance of all concrete and hardscaping installations. Water must be directed away from foundations and flat surfaces to prevent settling, cracking, or pooling.
Grading and Sub-Base Compaction
We grade each site to promote runoff and compact sub-base materials using machinery calibrated for residential loads. In areas with clay-heavy soil, additional drainage channels or gravel beds may be installed to improve performance.
French Drains and Surface Water Control
Where needed, we install French drains, downspout extensions, or swales to handle surface water flow. These systems are designed to reduce hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls or divert water away from walkways and structures.
Winter Durability and Regional Considerations
Concrete and hardscaping projects in Cranberry Township must be built with the regional climate in mind. Our installations are designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and deicing applications.
Cold-Weather Concrete Practices
When installing concrete in colder months, we use additives and curing methods to ensure proper hydration and strength development. All concrete is poured with air entrainment to resist freeze-thaw damage and spalling.
Sealing and Maintenance Planning
We recommend sealing concrete surfaces to prevent moisture penetration, staining, and salt damage. For decorative concrete, sealants are reapplied every few years to maintain appearance and surface integrity.
Permitting and Township Compliance
Exterior concrete and hardscaping work in Cranberry Township often requires permits, especially for large slabs, driveway expansions, or retaining walls over a specific height. Creedon and Company manages all permitting processes and ensures every installation complies with local ordinances.
- Setback Verification and Easement Considerations: Before construction, we verify all property lines, easements, and setback requirements to ensure legal compliance. This includes coordination with HOAs or township planning departments when needed.
- Inspection Coordination:
For projects requiring municipal inspection, we handle all scheduling, documentation, and follow-up. Our experience with local building officials helps minimize delays and ensures that each phase is approved on time.
