At Backus, we don’t just take on jobs — we take on the impossible. From site prep to structural concrete cutting, to shutdown support, we deliver complete solutions for industrial, commercial and municipal clients who need precision, partnership and zero room for error.

One mission. One crew. No gaps.

Three specialized companies. One unified team.

Industrial

If you think it can’t be done, that’s where we thrive — high-stakes environments, tight turnarounds and critical downtime windows. Whether we’re trenching for process lines, pouring for heavy equipment or precision cutting during a shutdown, we come prepared to move fast, stay clean and get out on schedule.

What we do:

  • Plant shutdown and equipment foundation work
  • Concrete pour-back and slab removal
  • Trenching, saw cutting and coring
  • Machine pads and containment pits
  • Pipe and conduit trenching
  • Full-site prep for facility expansions

“I did want to say that you guys did a great job. The concrete looks great and the pricing was very fair…I really appreciate all your help. Backus came through when no one else would. I will definitely use and recommend your services in the future if the need arises.”
– Roman Parsons, Texstar Enterprises

Commercial

We know the pace and polish commercial clients demand. From retail to hospitality to large-scale office and warehouse builds, we make your job smoother by offering site prep, structural concrete and cutting services — all under one experienced team.

What we do:

  • Concrete foundations, slabs and walkways
  • Demo and removal for remodels
  • Saw cutting for plumbing, HVAC or electric upgrades
  • Site grading and drainage prep
  • Poured surfaces for loading docks, ramps, parking and storefronts

“I am writing to express my thanks for the great job your crew did on pouring the concrete for the ramps and sidewalks at the new greenhouse at the UA Horticulture Farm… I’ve been at the Horticulture Farm for 36 years and they are the best crew I have worked with so far.” – Jimmy Moore, University of Arkansas

Municipal

Municipal jobs come with high visibility, strict oversight and no tolerance for mistakes. That’s where we shine. From water utilities to city buildings and public infrastructure, we bring dependability, communication and professionalism to every phase of the project.

What we do:

  • Site work and trenching for water/sewer/utilities
  • Concrete flatwork for sidewalks, curbs and streetscapes
  • Controlled demolition and precision cuts for renovations
  • Subcontractor support on Division 3 bids
  • Emergency concrete repair and replacement

“I was impressed with all Backus representatives. Each of them displayed the utmost professionalism, remained flexible and provided a superb finished product. We have already received many compliments on the pourback. My hats off to your men and women paving the way.”
