The importance of choosing a professional concrete contractor in Clemson, SC
- Permit desk by address: Inside Clemson city limits, the city Planning & Development Department handles permits. A Pickens-side address outside the limits goes through the county office at 222 McDaniel Avenue in Pickens, which stops issuing over the counter at 4:30.
What Clemson ground and county rules mean for a concrete job
- Two counties: Clemson lies across Pickens and Anderson counties, so two addresses a mile apart can fall on different sides of the line. Send the street address and we note which side your job sits on.
- City permits: Inside Clemson city limits, permitting runs through the City of Clemson Planning & Development Department at 1250 Tiger Boulevard, Suite 4, and its online Contractor Web Portal. Outside the limits, the county the address sits in issues the permit, and the Pickens County counter at 222 McDaniel Avenue in Pickens runs 8 to 5 on weekdays and stops issuing over the counter at 4:30.
- Driveway request first: On a city street, Clemson Code Sec. 16-16(a)(1) has the owner file a driveway installation permit request before a building permit can be issued. Public Works signs it for single- and two-household homes and mobile homes, and City Engineering signs it for multi-household, commercial and industrial work. The city has up to seven working days to accept or reject it.
- Resurfacing counts: Sec. 16-16(a)(6) requires a permit, approved in writing by Public Works, to resurface a driveway.
- Joint at the right-of-way: A concrete driveway needs an owner-installed expansion joint at the street right-of-way line under Sec. 16-16(a)(3), and the city inspects the driveway before surfacing. The city does not tie driveways into the street; Pickens County puts in the asphalt connection on request. A driveway on an SCDOT road needs an SCDOT encroachment permit.
- Sloped walks and steps: On a sloped Clemson lot, walks and steps run downhill, and the Anderson airport station records about 53 freezing nights a year (NOAA 1991–2020 normals). Water running down a walk freezes at the bottom landing, so the landing needs to drain off to the side.

Questions about concrete work in Clemson, SC
Is Clemson, SC in Pickens County or Anderson County?
Both. The city of Clemson lies across Pickens and Anderson counties, so two addresses a mile apart can fall on different sides of the county line. Send the street address with your request and we will note which side your job sits on rather than going by the city name alone.
Do you handle apartment and campus-area properties in Clemson, SC?
Yes. Clemson is built around Clemson University and a large share of students live off campus in apartment complexes rather than dorms. We run commercial work alongside residential, which covers parking areas, walkways, slabs and tear out on those properties.
What factors affect the cost of hiring a concrete contractor in Clemson, SC?
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Clemson, SC?
Usually yes. Inside Clemson city limits, permits come from the City of Clemson Planning & Development Department at 1250 Tiger Boulevard, Suite 4. On a city street, the owner also files a driveway installation permit request, and the city signs it before a building permit can be issued.
Outside city limits, the county the address sits in issues the permit. On the Pickens side, the office runs 8 to 5 Monday through Friday and the counter is at 222 McDaniel Avenue in Pickens. Pickens County takes permit applications up to closing but stops issuing over the counter after 4:30, so an afternoon walk-in usually comes back through the online portal the next morning.
How do I check that a concrete contractor in Clemson, SC is actually licensed?
Look the number up on the South Carolina Labor, Licensing and Regulation register rather than taking a business card for it. Residential builders and specialty contractors are listed there by licence number, so a real one takes about a minute to confirm.
Ours is RBS.65343. Run the same check on anyone bidding your Clemson job, it is free, and the city Planning & Development Department will want the same number on file before it issues the permit.
