Concrete Driveways & Floors Installation
Buck and his crew were easy to work with and very professional. Buck came out surveyed our request for replacement of drive way , sidewalk, and two pads. He made suggestions about what would be best for the job. He also did excavation work. He added a new gravel bed for the driveway and new wire in the concrete for stability. The finished job was much better than we could have hoped for. Buck came back did a excellent clean up and touch up. We would highly recommend him for any concrete work. We plan on using him again for future work in the spring.

I was looking for a low cost option. They were willing to point out places where a small design change saved a pile of manual labor and cost.

Excellent work and communication. The only issue was some rescheduling due to a crew issue. Overall highly recommended.
Response from Southern Pipe and Backhoe Services
"We had this and another small pour scheduled for a Saturday. One of our young finishers laid out and left us a man short. I made the decision, in order to complete the first job satisfactorily, we would not be able to split off and go pour the second job; which cost me money.. I immediately notified the second customer; then rescheduled and poured his job on Monday. It came out great. Sometimes when coordinating a group of men, things can get complicated. Thanks for understanding..."

Mr. Buchanan (Buck) and his team are top shelf. Buck called me within 30 minutes of me submitting a contractor request to Home Advisor and was able to meet me at the job site that same day. We went over the job I needed done and Buck quoted me a very fair price. The work went smoothly and is of high quality. I would definitely recommend Mr. Buchanan to anyone looking for a concrete contractor.

sloppy
Response from Southern Pipe and Backhoe Services
"This customers concrete parking lot is full of cracks, settled areas, and sunken spots. The concrete is about 50 years old and needs to be completely removed and replaced. We ( patched ) an area that had settled approximately 2 - 3 inches and was damaging cars. He didn't want to pay to have the concrete sawcut, just dug out and poured back cracked side to cracked side. You can't make chicken soup out of chicken . Also he only paid me 75% of the agreed upon price."

Buck Buchanan is a stand up, reliable and meticulous with detail professional contractor. My project had a number of special drainage requirements for which Buck devised solutions in addition to having my large driveway poured. His work was timely and very reasonable priced. I would strongly recommend him to anyone requiring high quality concrete work.

I had three quotes completed, out of all three Buck seemed to know the most about what was being poured. He was prompt in his work and kept me in the loop of what was happening when. We had to wait a few days to pour the driveway due to rain, but it wasn't a big deal. I would highly recommend his services.

Buck worked with me and my wife over several weeks to nail down the project. We removed the under roof patio concrete and built it up to the house level. Buck's crew was courteous and quick. We communicated several times over text and he met with us to detail the work. We had several changes desired and he found a way to meet those. We are very pleased and highly recommend Buck.

Buck was very prompt to get in touch with me and make an appointment to come over. He gave me a reasonable estimate for the work that I wanted done. We had to wait on the weather, but as soon and the temperature got high enough for a few days they got started and knocked it right out. It looks wonderful.

Great concrete work and with a nice sense of sculpting .
Response from Southern Pipe and Backhoe Services
"This was a very difficult job for a doctor in Huntsville - total removal and replacement of concrete drive and sidewalk. The drive was lined with pine trees that had just been removed, however there were literally thousands of roots left. We excavated and removed the roots, then added a gravel base. The customer was so happy that he walked around with bare feet on his new concrete. It added curb appeal and increased value to his home;"

This was a foundation for a greenhouse, so I did not select your only two choices. Buck was very timely and professional, as were the men who worked with him. He did everything we asked him to do--sloping the floor, putting a drain in the center, and moving some large cement blocks (about 3'X2' by 8" thick), that we could use as stepping stones.

They did an excellent job. With the weather conditions we have had lately, they still finished the job on time and even covered up their tracks in my yard with dirt and the grass is starting to grow back.
