- What we pour in Greer: Driveways, patios, garage slabs, sidewalks, flatwork and retaining walls, new pours and full replacements alike.
Driveway replacement and other common jobs in Greer
Before a driveway replacement in Greer is booked, the address decides the paperwork. Inside city limits the City of Greer permits it on either side of the county line. Outside the city on the Greenville County side, the county wants the apron from the right-of-way out to the street in asphalt unless a curb is already there. Once that is settled, the old slab comes out and the new one goes in under one contract, the way our concrete driveway replacement page describes.
A detached garage, shop or metal building is usually the biggest single pour on a Greer lot. We price garage slabs and shop floors on site from the Taylors shop, 8.5 miles away, and plan drainage before placement because the GSP weather station in Greer logs about 54 freezing nights a year.
On a lot that falls toward Lake Robinson, Lake Cunningham, Lake Apalache or the South Tyger River, a retaining wall has to deal with where that runoff goes, so we look at the slope and the drainage path before pricing it. Our page on retaining wall work in Greer and the Upstate covers poured walls and segmental block.
Why Greer, SC homeowners choose Ace Concrete Construction
- Licensed in South Carolina: We hold residential builder licence RBS.65343, which anyone can confirm on the state Labor, Licensing and Regulation register before work starts in Greer.
- In-house crews, free estimates: The crew that quotes your Greer job is the crew that pours it, and the estimate costs nothing.
From a 5-star Google review, September 2024: a Greer customer said Ace did "a fantastic job on our concrete patio and grill station," and was pleased with the outcome of the backyard. That is the same patio and outdoor-living work we pour across Greer.
What Greer ground and county rules mean for a concrete job
- City permits in both counties: Greer straddles Greenville and Spartanburg counties, and inside city limits on either side the permit comes from the City of Greer Planning & Development Department at 301 E. Poinsett Street. A Greer mailing address can sit outside city limits, and those jobs are permitted by the county.
- Street and sidewalk cuts: Work inside a public right-of-way, such as cutting into a city street or sidewalk, takes an encroachment permit, which the City of Greer’s Engineering page describes as the authorization for construction or installations in the right-of-way. SCDOT issues its own encroachment permit when the street is a state highway.
- Five-foot sidewalks: The city’s development ordinance requires sidewalks at least five feet wide along all roadways for development and redevelopment, in every zoning district. Hardship waivers go to the City Engineer and can come with a payment into the city’s sidewalk fund (UDO Sec. 5.8).
- Downtown historic overlay: Downtown Greer is under a Historic District overlay, so a property there also answers to the Board of Architectural Review, which works to a design style drawn from 1890 to 1930 (UDO Sec. 3.1).
- A weather station in town: The National Weather Service station at GSP airport sits in Greer, and its NOAA 1991–2020 normals count about 54 nights a year at 32°F or colder. Greer patios and walks that hold puddles take that many freeze cycles each winter, which is why the slope set at the pour matters.
Concrete work on the Spartanburg County side of Greer
- Permits outside city limits: A Greer mailing address outside city limits on the Spartanburg County side goes to Spartanburg County Building Codes, on 864-596-2727. Inspections must be requested before 6:30 in the morning on the day wanted, and the county warns against booking a concrete pour on an inspection day, since a delay leaves you with a truck you cannot hold.
- Truck traffic: Next to Greer you find Greenville Spartanburg International Airport, the BMW plant and the South Carolina Inland Port. Trucks and hard use define that side of the city, and that means commercial slab work.
- Airport review: Land in the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport environs sits under the city’s GSP Airport overlay. The City sends every permit there to the airport for review, and nothing is approved until the airport signs off.
- Materials in the street: With the codes administrator’s permission, a Greer job can stage materials on up to a third of the adjoining street or alley for no more than 90 days, and nothing can sit in a drain or ditch.
- Summer pours near the airport: The GSP weather station sits in Greer and records about 48 days a year at 90°F or hotter (NOAA 1991–2020 normals). On the Spartanburg County side of Greer, a mid-summer driveway pour is best scheduled for the cool hours so the surface does not set ahead of the slab beneath it.

Questions about concrete work in Greer, SC
Is Greer, SC in Greenville County or Spartanburg County?
Both. The city of Greer straddles the two counties, which is why an address on one side of town can sit across a county line from a neighbour two streets over. Give us the street address with your request and we will note which county your job is in.
Do you work near the lakes in Greer, SC?
Greer has three lakes, Apalache, Robinson and Cunningham, and the South Tyger River runs through the north of the city. On a lot that falls toward any of them, we want to know before quoting, because where the runoff goes shapes how the base under a slab is prepared.
Do you offer free consultations for concrete projects in Greer, SC?
Yes. Free consultations and estimates on Greer, SC projects. Someone walks the site first, and the number follows from what is actually there.
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Greer, SC?
Usually yes, and which office issues it depends on the address. Inside Greer city limits, in Greenville County or Spartanburg County, permits come from the City of Greer Planning & Development Department at 301 E. Poinsett Street, 864-848-2175, and the City says a permit is required before any work begins. Work inside a public right-of-way, such as cutting into a city street or sidewalk, also takes an encroachment permit, which the City of Greer's Engineering page describes as the authorization for construction in the right-of-way.
Outside city limits on the Greenville County side, Greenville County issues it. The $10 surcharge on a county building permit covers one driveway connection, and a second entrance needs its own encroachment permit plus a sketch of the locations and dimensions. Unless a curb is already there, the way it is in most subdivisions, Greenville County does not allow concrete in the road right-of-way. The apron from the right-of-way out to the pavement has to be asphalt, and the county does not maintain or repair concrete driveways. The county desk is Greenville County Engineering & Maintenance on 864-467-7016.
How do I check that a concrete contractor in Greer, 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 Greer job, it is free, and the City of Greer's licensing guide lists the SC state contractor licence among what a contractor may need for a city business licence.
