Concrete Driveway Contractors in Fort Liberty, NC

Fort Liberty on the page, Fort Bragg in the paperwork

The Army renamed the post in 2023 and put the Bragg name back on February 14, 2025, this time honoring Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, per the Army's release. The old name stays in the headline so you can find this page. Everywhere else, we say Bragg.

This page is about the neighborhoods that touch the post: Spring Lake and the north side of Fayetteville, where the post and Pope Army Airfield sit, plus the Hoke and Harnett edges. The installation is federal land under the Army, so it has no town or county permit desk, and nothing here covers work inside the gates. For a lot outside the fence, start by asking which office governs the ground your slab will sit on. Our area page for the post covers the rest of the neighborhood.

Spring Lake, Fayetteville or the county: who signs off

Spring Lake's town limits take in parts of the post, and the town runs its own Inspections Department. Its page says every inspection has to be scheduled through the town office, not Cumberland County's, even though the county helps with some of them. Applications go through the town's online Customer Portal, which needs an account. The town has no full-time planning director, so zoning questions mostly land at county planning. Its pages don't spell out an apron rule, so call the Inspections Department before anyone sets forms.

Inside Fayetteville, the rules change. The city's driveway permit guide says an owner-occupied single-family home or duplex doesn't need the commercial permit; the residential one comes straight from the city, and a new curb cut needs the City Manager's approval. For the first 12 feet back from the street edge, a one-car garage lot tops out at 16 feet wide and a two-car or larger garage lot at 24. Unincorporated lots answer to county Planning & Inspections, which doesn't say online whether a pad needs a permit, so ask. The permit guide lines these offices up side by side.

On the Hoke and Harnett side of the line

The post spreads across Cumberland, Hoke and Harnett counties, so the county line, not the front gate, picks your permit office. On the Hoke side, the zoning ordinance (amended September 2025) splits the rules in two. For a new single-family home or duplex, Section 9.2 asks for room for two 9 by 18 foot parking spaces, which the driveway and garage can supply, and keeps it 20 feet off any intersection. Section 9.8's tighter rules (30 feet from an intersection, 18 feet minimum for two-way traffic, 24 feet maximum unless NCDOT requires more) cover other new development, like a business lot outside the gate. Both live in the Hoke County Zoning Ordinance, which governs unincorporated Hoke, not land inside a town's extraterritorial area.

Hoke Building Inspections stops taking permit applications before the end of the business day and doubles the permit cost when work starts before the permit does. Harnett County runs its applications through Central Permitting and an online system called eTRAKiT. If your street is state-maintained, NCDOT's standards apply, and the apron may need an NCDOT permit even though residential connections are normally excluded. Ask the district office first. Our service hub has the short version, and the sidewalk page covers walks along the same frontage.

Rentals and PCS gaps: pouring between tenants

If you own a rental near the post, the weeks between one family moving out and the next moving in are the cleanest window to break out a cracked pad and pour a new one. Nobody parks on it or backs a trailer across it, and the cure clock runs with no one asking for the keys.

After the pour we give you three dates: foot traffic, cars, and a later one for heavy trucks. Weather moves them, so build a cushion into the move-in date. Now run the numbers on your own pad. An 18 by 30 slab is 540 square feet, so the new pour comes to $3,780 to $6,480 at $7 to $12 per square foot, and tearing out the old one adds $810 to $2,160. The cost guide shows what moves those numbers up or down, and a free written estimate puts yours on paper.

Sandhills ground on three sides of the post

The post sits in the Sandhills, and the dirt shows it. Cumberland County's biggest soil units are Wagram, Johnston, Candor, Blaney, Autryville and Lakeland, and the upper layers of Candor sand and Lakeland sand run about 96 and 94 percent sand, per the NRCS soil survey. The leading soils in Hoke County are Blaney, Candor, Johnston and Norfolk. Harnett's are Gilead, Norfolk, Blaney and Cecil, which lean toward finer, clayier ground than the sand next door.

Sand drains fast, but it doesn't pack like clay. That puts the work in the base: we pull roots and topsoil, compact in lifts and check the depth before the forms get tied. Johnston soil sits in creek and river bottoms, and the survey records frequent flooding for it, so a lot that dips toward a branch gets a harder look before we price. Roof water gets a plan too, because sand washes out at form edges and downspouts.

Before we price anything, send three measurements: the width at the street edge, the width at the garage door and the length between them. Add the spot where roof water leaves the house and any meter box or cleanout, and we'll mark the whole job on a sketch together at the estimate.
