Franklin Concrete Company serves Plainville with concrete driveways, parking area construction, patio work, retaining walls, and foundation services. We know Plainville - the postwar ranches and Capes, the wooded lots, and the hard winters that put real pressure on concrete - and we reply within one business day.
Plainville has a mix of residential properties and small commercial sites where durable parking surfaces matter year-round. Our concrete parking lot building service handles everything from multi-car residential pads to small commercial parking areas - with the thickness and base preparation that holds up through Plainville winters.
A large portion of Plainville driveways were poured during the 1960s through 1980s, and many of them have reached the end of their useful life. We replace cracked, heaved, and deteriorating driveways with properly prepared slabs that account for the freeze-thaw conditions and drainage patterns specific to this part of Massachusetts.
Plainville backyards on wooded or semi-wooded lots often have drainage challenges that need to be addressed before any patio is poured. We assess the existing grade and soil conditions, install the right subbase, and ensure the finished slab sheds water away from the house - not toward the foundation.
Properties on sloped or partially wooded lots in Plainville need retaining walls that are built for frost. Walls without proper drainage behind them accumulate water that freezes and expands against the wall each winter - a cycle that fails most decorative block walls within a decade in this climate.
Ranch and Cape Cod homes in Plainville from the 1950s through 1970s commonly have front entry steps that have settled or cracked at the foundation connection. We replace them from the footing up so the repair outlasts the next several decades of New England frost cycles.
Detached garages and additions in Plainville need slab foundations that are engineered for the local frost depth. Many homes in town have added outbuildings over the years, and we bring the same attention to subgrade preparation and vapor control to every slab we pour - whether it is for a garage or a backyard workshop.
Plainville sits right at the Rhode Island border, about 35 miles from Boston, in a part of Massachusetts that sees 45 to 55 inches of snow per year and hard ground freezes that can reach 3 to 4 feet deep. A significant share of the housing stock was built between 1950 and 1980, which means original driveways, walkways, and concrete steps have been through 50 or more New England winters. That kind of repeated freeze-thaw movement eventually catches up with any concrete that was not installed with the right prep - and for many Plainville homes, the evidence is visible in cracked slabs and heaved walkways that have been patched repeatedly without lasting results.
Plainville also has a notable share of properties near the Ten Mile River, which runs through town and can contribute to wet, saturated soil conditions in spring when snowmelt and heavy rain arrive together. Properties in low-lying areas close to the river or in areas with clay-heavy soil see moisture against their foundations for weeks at a time in April and May. Any concrete work on these lots - whether it is a driveway, a patio, or a parking area - needs to account for drainage first, before a single yard of concrete is poured. Getting that step wrong is the most common reason concrete fails faster than it should in this town.
Our crew works throughout Plainville regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Plainville is positioned on Route 1 near the Interstate 495 interchange, which puts it within a short drive of several other communities we serve. We are familiar with the range of property types in town - from older ranch homes on modest lots near the town center to newer developments on the edges of town closer to the Plainridge Park area - and we have poured concrete on both.
Plainville borders Wrentham and Norfolk to the north - communities that share the King Philip Regional School District and a lot of the same soil and frost conditions. We serve all three communities and the cross-referrals from neighbors and friends are common. We also regularly complete projects in Foxborough to the west, where a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors near Patriot Place creates demand for both driveway and parking lot work, and in Wrentham to the north.
Reach us by phone or through the online contact form with details about your project. We respond within one business day - often the same day for calls received during business hours.
We visit your Plainville property to assess the site - drainage, grade, soil conditions, access, and the scope of demo work if needed. The written estimate covers all costs upfront with no surprises added once work begins.
Once you approve the estimate, we give you a scheduled start date. Most residential jobs in Plainville take one to three days to complete. You do not need to be home for the work, but we walk you through the plan beforehand so there are no surprises.
We clean the site when the job is finished and walk you through what was completed. We explain the curing timeline - how long before you can park on it, use it, or seal it - and answer any remaining questions before we leave.
We serve Plainville homeowners with written estimates at no charge. Call or submit the form and we respond within one business day.
(508) 803-6598Plainville is a town of about 9,000 residents in Norfolk County, sitting directly on the Rhode Island border between Providence and Boston. It is primarily a single-family residential community, with roughly 80 percent of households owner-occupied. The housing stock spans several decades - many homes near the town center and along older roads date to the 1950s and 1960s, while later development pushed out toward the edges of town through the 1980s and 1990s. The Plainville Town Hall and Town Common sit at the civic center of the community, and the town feels like a quieter, spread-out suburb with a modest rural character in its less-developed sections.
The Ten Mile River runs through Plainville and is a familiar local landmark - particularly during wet springs when low-lying areas near the river corridor can stay saturated for weeks. Plainville neighbors Foxborough to the west and Wrentham to the north, and we work regularly in all three towns. The King Philip Regional School District ties Plainville, Wrentham, and Norfolk together for middle and high school, and that shared community identity means contractor recommendations travel easily across all three towns.
