At Mattingly Concrete, we understand that every concrete project in Indianapolis is unique. Whether you’re designing a custom patio, a decorative driveway, or a commercial walkway, we work closely with you from the initial consultation to the final pour to bring your vision to life. Here’s our concrete process and what you can expect when working with us on your custom concrete project.
Step 1: Project Initiation and Scheduling
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where we discuss your ideas, goals, and budget. Once you decide to move forward, we provide a tentative project schedule. Weather conditions in Indianapolis can significantly impact timelines, especially during rainy springs or icy winters, so we remain flexible and transparent throughout the process. Your Project Coordinator will notify you of any scheduling changes as soon as they arise.
Step 2: Design and Planning
During the planning phase, we help refine your vision by offering suggestions on materials, finishes, and layouts that work best in Indiana’s climate. Whether you’re considering stamped concrete for your suburban patio or polished finishes for a commercial lobby, we align your design with both aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Step 3: Project Execution and Completion
Once the design is finalized, we move to the execution phase. The process typically begins with demolition (if necessary), followed by grading and forming the project area—essential steps to ensure durability in Indianapolis’ changing seasons. This phase requires limited client oversight, allowing you to relax while we handle the technical details. A down payment may be collected at this stage.
After preparation, our pouring crew arrives to lay the concrete, followed by our finishing and cleanup teams. Your Project Coordinator keeps you informed at every step, so you’re never left wondering about the project’s status.
Step 4: Project Management and Communication You Can Count On
Throughout the entire project, your dedicated Project Coordinator oversees all details, serving as your main point of contact. Whether you have questions, want to make changes, or need updates, they’re always available to assist. We pride ourselves on clear, consistent communication, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Satisfaction
Once the project is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough to review the results and address any concerns. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we take pride in delivering a finished product that exceeds expectations.
