Concrete work we do
Every service below has its own page. Price moves with size, tear-out, base work and finish, the schedule with cure time and weather, and your written estimate and plan spell out both.
Want a place for the grill and a table out back? We pour patios with a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives wet shoes some grip.
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored while it's still soft, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick on a poured slab.
Walks heaved by roots or sunk at the joints trip people up. We tear out the bad sections and pour new ones that sit even with what stays.
A garage floor takes a car's weight every day, so we pour it over a packed base with rebar, the steel inside that keeps cracks from pulling apart.
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone, borders and custom finishes for homes and businesses that want more than plain gray, poured and finished on site.
Is your slope creeping onto the patio or drive? A poured retaining wall holds the soil back, with drainage behind it so water drains out instead of pushing.
We pour interior concrete floors for basements, shops and commercial spaces, set flat and level over a packed subgrade, the ground the slab rests on.
A pool deck has to drain and feel right under bare feet, so we slope it away from the water and give it a texture that isn't slick.
Front steps that have cracked, tipped or pulled away from the porch get torn out and rebuilt with even rises, so each step feels the same underfoot.
For builders and owners putting up a house, garage or addition, we form and pour slab foundations on a prepared base, ready for the framing crew.
We dig, form and pour foundations for new homes, additions and commercial buildings, with cure time built into the schedule so the next trade isn't left guessing.
Property owners and businesses call us for concrete parking lots, poured thick enough for steady traffic and graded so rain runs to the drains instead of pooling.
What holds up a deck, porch, addition or wall? Footings, the wide concrete pads underneath, poured to size so the weight spreads into firm ground.
When a slab or foundation has settled and left gaps, tilts or cracks, we raise it back toward level instead of tearing everything out, when the ground allows.
Need a doorway in a basement wall, a trench through a slab or a damaged section taken out cleanly? We saw-cut concrete so the edges come out straight.

The visit and written quote
I measure and walk you through your choices. Your written estimate lists what's included, and the plan shows when you can walk on it, park on it or seal it.
A written estimate
Our crew does the work
Our crew forms, pours and finishes the job in the order the plan lays out, base and drainage first, because that's where most concrete trouble starts.
Finished concrete
The final walk-through
I walk the finished job with you and go over how to care for it, from when to seal it to what to keep off it while it cures.
Care instructions
Planned first, then poured
Before I ever finished a slab, I spent years building schedules for a busy company. Then I learned concrete on a crew and started D&R O'Fallon Concrete Company in O'Fallon in 2017. I still think like a scheduler, so every job gets laid out first, next and last before anything gets poured.
Most concrete problems I see start before the pour, so that's where we spend our time. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, steps and walks, and builders and property owners call us for slabs, footings and parking lots.
We're based in O'Fallon and work in cities across St. Charles County and St. Louis County. If you don't see your city on the site, call and ask. You'll find more about who we are on our about page.
Before you hire a concrete crew
These are the questions I hear most after an estimate, answered plainly so you can weigh your options and compare bids before you decide anything.
What shapes the cost
Size and thickness matter, and so does everything around them. Tear-out, hauling, base work and how close the truck can get can move a bid as much as the finish.
Repair, raise or replace
A slab that's sunk but solid can sometimes be raised. One that's broken up, crumbling or pitched toward the house usually comes out and starts over from the base.
Base first, finish second
Tight budgets usually lose the base first, because nobody sees it. I'd keep the base and pick a plainer finish, since no pattern fixes a slab that settles.
What to ask any contractor
Ask how deep they dig, how they pack the base, where the water will run and when they cut control joints, the grooves that tell cracks where to go.
What you can count on in O'Fallon
I look at every job myself and stay your contact from the first visit to the final walk-through, so your questions go to the person who planned the work. Before you pick a finish or sign anything, I walk you through your options in plain words, so you know what you're getting and why.
Your schedule plans for the parts of concrete work people forget, like cure time, where you'll park while the driveway is off limits, and cold weather. If we find something under the old slab that changes the plan, I show it to you and explain it before we go on.
You'll understand what you're paying for and why each step happens when it does, before anything gets poured.

(636) 614-2331Questions about concrete work
Straight answers to what homeowners and property owners ask most, from cost and cracking to permits, so you know what you're weighing before I come out.
- How much does a new concrete driveway cost in O'Fallon, MO?
The price of a driveway turns on its size, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose. Access for the truck and the thickness of the slab move it too. I give you a figure once I've measured, and you can call (636) 614-2331 to set that up.
- Why are concrete bids so different from one contractor to the next?
Bids usually differ because they don't cover the same work, especially tear-out, hauling and base prep. Our written estimate spells out what's in it, from tear-out to hauling the old concrete away, so you can line it up against any other bid and see where the gap is.
- How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll be off a new driveway for a while after the pour, because concrete keeps hardening for days afterward, and that wait, called curing, is what lets it carry a car. The plan I give you marks the day you can walk on it and the day you can park on it, and we work out where your cars go in between.
- Is D&R O'Fallon Concrete Company licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. Ask to see proof when I come out, and ask the same of anyone else bidding your job.
- What do you do before the concrete is poured?
Before we pour, we dig out to firm soil, pack the base, set the forms and check where the water will run, so the finished slab drains away from your house. On a replacement, we break up and haul off the old slab first, so we can see what it was sitting on.
- Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. If something about the finished job doesn't look right to you, bring it up at the walk-through or call (636) 614-2331 and we'll talk it through.
- Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?
Any slab can crack, but most of the cracks I see in old slabs come from a base that settled, water with nowhere to go or joints cut late. We pack the base, check the drainage and cut the control joints on time, so if a crack forms it usually follows a joint instead of wandering across the slab.
- Do I need a permit for concrete work in O'Fallon, MO?
It depends on the work, so we check with the offices that cover your address before we schedule, and when a permit is needed we handle the paperwork and line up the inspections. In O'Fallon, the city's driveway permit rules cover replacing or changing the part of a driveway out by the street, the apron and the sidewalk crossing, as well as widening a driveway or adding one. The city's Building Division lists retaining walls among the work it permits, and the independent fire districts that serve parts of O'Fallon may require their own permit.
