Concrete Contractors in Tuttle, OK

Tuttle is still farm and ranch country, and much of the work we do as concrete contractors in Tuttle reflects that. The town covers about 29 square miles in Grady County and had 7,413 residents in 2020. Wikipedia lists wheat, cotton, corn, alfalfa hay, Bermuda grass hay and cattle among the local products, and the town also serves as a bedroom community for Oklahoma City. We pour long driveways, barn and shop slabs, patios, walks and stamped concrete, and we fix older concrete that has broken down.

Ranch roots

Tuttle was platted in 1901, got a post office in 1902 and incorporated in 1906. It is named for rancher James H. Tuttle, and when it was founded it lay in Pickens County in the Chickasaw Nation. The railway right-of-way came from the allotment of Frances Schrock, for whom Schrock Park is named.

Farm and ranch properties ask a lot of concrete. Equipment barns, hay barn aisles, feed areas, wash pads and the drive from the road to the barn all carry weight that a city driveway never sees. We talk through what will sit on each slab and design thickness, reinforcement and base to match.

Low ground near the river

Wikipedia describes Tuttle as sitting in a low-lying river basin along the South Canadian River, east of the old Chisholm Trail. Low ground can mean wetter soil and slower drainage after heavy rain. Before we pour, we look at where water collects on the property, raise slabs where needed with compacted fill and make sure the finished surface sheds water away from barns and houses rather than toward them.

Growth on the edges

The population nearly doubled in the 1970s, from 1,640 to 3,051, and then climbed again from 2,807 in 1990 to 4,294 in 2000 and 6,019 in 2010. Homes from those waves now have driveways and patios between 15 and 50 years old. In-town homes often need driveway replacement or a new back patio. Newer acreage homes tend to want slabs for shops and RV storage and wider drives for trailers.

Weather on open farmland

Tuttle knows rough weather well: a May 6, 2015 tornado near the Tiger Safari animal park became known locally as the "Tigernado." Open land and storms mean wind-driven rain, hail and fast runoff. For outdoor flatwork we use mixes suited to freeze and thaw, set proper slope and cure the surface so spring storms and winter freezes do less damage.
