Forty years of commercial concrete with AU and national clients.
About
Cardinal Concrete Services is a Smiths Station-headquartered commercial concrete specialist at 331 Mullin Road that has worked with Auburn University, Chick-fil-A, Home Depot, Target, and multiple U.S. military branches over more than forty years in business. That client list documents the kind of operation Cardinal runs — institutional and large-format commercial concrete rather than residential driveways.
The company reports 90% repeat-customer business and a 95% customer satisfaction rate. Repeat-customer rates that high in commercial concrete typically point to a contractor that delivers on schedule and on spec, since national chains and institutional clients don't return to subs that miss either.
Services span concrete flatwork, interior concrete demolition, concrete cutting and core drilling, grading and site prep, commercial slab-on-grade pours, stamped concrete, retaining walls, and curb and gutter. The capability spread is what positions the firm for ground-up commercial work from sitework through finished slab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who has Cardinal Concrete Services worked with?
Cardinal Concrete Services has worked with Auburn University, Chick-fil-A, Home Depot, Target, and multiple U.S. military branches over its forty-plus years in business. That client list reflects institutional and large-commercial work rather than residential — national chains and the military don't hire residential concrete contractors. The roster documents Cardinal's positioning as a commercial concrete specialist with a track record at the institutional level.
What are Cardinal's repeat-customer and satisfaction numbers?
Cardinal Concrete Services reports 90% repeat-customer business and a 95% customer satisfaction rate. Both numbers are high for commercial concrete, where projects are competitively bid and customers move on if a contractor underdelivers. Repeat business at 90% specifically points to a contractor that delivers on schedule and spec, since institutional and national clients don't return to subs that miss either of those expectations.
Where is Cardinal Concrete Services based?
Cardinal Concrete Services is headquartered at 331 Mullin Road in Smiths Station, ZIP 36877. Smiths Station sits in the southern part of Lee County, which gives the company a base equally accessible to the Auburn-Opelika market and the Phenix City-Columbus market across the Georgia line. The (706) 888-3430 phone area code reflects the company's cross-state Columbus-area service footprint.
What is concrete cutting and core drilling?
Concrete cutting and core drilling are specialty services Cardinal Concrete Services handles. Cutting involves saw-cutting existing concrete for renovations, repairs, or modifications. Core drilling creates round holes through existing concrete for plumbing, conduit, or structural penetrations. Both require specialized equipment that residential concrete contractors typically don't carry, and they're frequently needed during commercial renovations and tenant improvement projects.
Does Cardinal handle grading and site prep?
Yes. Cardinal Concrete Services offers grading and site prep alongside its concrete placement work. Site prep is the foundation step that determines whether the finished slab sits level, drains correctly, and stays stable over time. Carrying that capability in-house — rather than coordinating a separate sitework subcontractor — gives the firm tighter control over the conditions the concrete is placed on, which affects long-term performance.
How long has Cardinal Concrete Services been in business?
Cardinal Concrete Services has been in business for more than forty years. Forty-plus years is a long tenure in commercial concrete contracting and reflects the firm's stable operating model, its institutional and national client base, and its ability to maintain the bonding capacity, equipment fleet, and crew development required for ground-up commercial work. That continuity also explains how the firm built the reference list it carries today.
