Driveways, patios, walkways and grading from a family-owned crew in Leesville. One crew prepares the ground and pours the concrete.
Lexington, South Carolina
Lexington sits about 12 miles west of Columbia, and it has grown fast: the U.S. Census counted 17,870 residents in 2010 and 23,568 in 2020. Growth like that puts a steady stream of new driveways, patios and back-yard slabs onto lots that were cleared and graded not long ago.
Big League Concrete & Grading is a family-owned crew from Leesville, led by Trevor. We do the grading and the concrete ourselves, so the ground under your slab is prepared by the same people who pour it. Around Lexington that matters in two ways. On an ordinary lot it is about moving runoff away from the house and the patio. On lake-property ground it is about a walkway or steps that follow a slope down toward the water. We start with elevation, soil and dimensions, then clear, grade, form, pour and clean up.
12 mileswest of Columbia, about 5 miles south of the Lake Murray dam. Lexington is part of the area we serve from Leesville.
Each fact below links to where we found it. Rules change, so confirm permits with the Town or the lake owner before you build.
Lexington is the seat of Lexington County. The county courthouse moved here in 1820 after flooding at the old seat in Granby, and the area was not incorporated as the Town of Lexington until 1861. Water has shaped where things get built here for a long time.
Census counts show Lexington growing from 17,870 people in 2010 to 23,568 in 2020, an increase of 31.9 percent. More households means more driveways, patios and walkways going onto lots that were recently cleared.
The town drains north to Fourteenmile Creek and south to Twelvemile Creek, both tributaries of the Saluda River. On a sloped lot, getting runoff pointed the right way before a pour matters.
Lake Murray and its dam are about 5 miles north of town. Dominion Energy says residential permits for docks, boat ramps, retaining walls and similar shoreline work are requested through its online Lake Murray permit application, and you will need your tax map number and a scanned plat.

The Town of Lexington's online forms page lists a Building Permit Application and a Pre-Development Meeting Request, so ask the Town which approvals your project needs before ground is broken.

See the serviceCurved or straight walkways from the driveway to the door, or from the yard down toward a dock or lake-side seating area.

Lexington questions
It depends on the project and on whether your property is inside the town limits. The Town of Lexington's online forms page lists a Building Permit Application, so call the Town with your address and scope before work begins. Tell us what they say and we will plan the grading and pour around it.
Yes. The town drains toward Fourteenmile Creek in the north and Twelvemile Creek in the south, so many lots carry a slope. We grade before pouring to build a compacted base and direct rainwater away from the slab and the house, instead of letting it pool against a patio or garage apron.
We pour walkways, steps and pads on your own ground. Dominion Energy handles residential permits for docks, boat ramps and retaining walls on the lake, and asks for your tax map number and a plat. If your path touches the shoreline, check with them first, then we can plan the route and slope.
Yes. Lexington is one of the towns we serve, and both it and Leesville are in Lexington County. Trevor and the crew bring the grading and concrete work to your property, so there is no separate site-prep contractor to schedule. Use the quote button to describe the project and the address.
Light foot traffic is usually fine after about 24 hours. Keep vehicles off a new driveway for at least 7 days so the concrete can cure. If you are planning around guests or a move-in, tell us the date when you request a quote and we will talk through the schedule.
Tell us the address, what you want built and how the ground slopes. Trevor and the crew will take it from there.
