Icard runs along US 70 and I-40 in eastern Burke County, between Hildebran and Connelly Springs, with Lake Rhodhiss to the north. It takes its name from the Icard family, among the earliest settlers in this part of the county.

Two things shape concrete work in Icard: grade and water. Properties running toward the lake and the Catawba drainage tend to fall away from the road, sometimes sharply, and Burke County clay holds everything that lands on it.

That combination makes retaining walls and drainage design as important here as the slab itself. We build both into the project rather than treating drainage as an afterthought, because on a sloped Icard lot the water is what eventually decides whether the concrete holds.

Concrete Contractor in Icard, Burke County

Icard is an unincorporated community and township in eastern Burke County, strung along the US 70 and I-40 corridor between Hildebran and Connelly Springs. The name comes from the Icard family, early settlers in the area. Lake Rhodhiss lies to the north, and much of the land between the highway and the water carries real elevation change.

Common Concrete Projects in Icard

Retaining walls do heavy work in Icard. On lots that fall toward the lake, a wall is often what converts an unusable slope into a level yard, a parking area, or a patio — and it is also what stops the grade from moving downhill during a wet Burke County spring. We engineer drainage into every wall we build, because hydrostatic pressure behind a wall is the most common reason walls fail.

Driveways here need the same attention. A drive on a grade has to shed water deliberately, and a slab poured on unprepared clay without a drainage plan will crack and settle within a few winters. We grade, base, and joint for the slope that's actually there.

From the properties along US 70 to the lots running down toward Lake Rhodhiss, we provide free written estimates on driveways, walls, patios, and pads.

Yes. Icard is within The Foothills Concrete Company's standard service area. We serve Icard and the surrounding Burke County communities, along with the broader NC Foothills across Catawba, Alexander, Caldwell, Burke, Lincoln, and Iredell Counties. Estimates in Icard are always free.

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Icard?

In the Icard area, a standard broom-finished concrete driveway typically runs $8–$15 per square foot installed, while stamped or decorative driveways run $14–$22 per square foot. Final pricing depends on site prep, slope, drainage, removal of old concrete, and finish. We provide free, detailed written estimates for Icard projects with no hidden fees.

Do I need a retaining wall for my sloped Icard property?

Often the honest answer is that a wall isn't strictly required but is the difference between a yard you can use and a slope you can only look at. It also stops erosion that will otherwise keep taking material downhill every wet season. We'll tell you plainly at the free estimate whether a wall solves your problem or whether regrading and drainage alone will do it.

How do you keep a driveway from cracking on a slope?

Three things: a properly compacted base that doesn't wash out from underneath, adequate thickness with reinforcement for the grade and the loads, and a deliberate drainage plan so water leaves the slab instead of running along it or pooling at the low end. Skipping the drainage is the most common reason sloped driveways in Burke County fail early.

How long before I can use new concrete in Icard?

New concrete typically handles foot traffic after 24–48 hours, but wait at least 7 days before driving passenger vehicles on it and a full 28 days before parking heavy vehicles, RVs, or equipment. Concrete reaches about 70% of its strength in the first week and keeps curing for roughly a month. We provide clear curing instructions with every pour.
