Concrete work we do in Chesterfield
Most of what Chesterfield homes need from us is replacement work, where an old slab has cracked, sunk or started holding water, along with new slabs and footings when someone builds or adds on.
A new patio, or a replacement for a cracked one off the back door, set so rain runs toward the yard instead of back against your house.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick without the loose pieces.
Front walks and side paths between the driveway, the door and the backyard, replaced when the old sections have heaved, sunk or started tripping people.
A new slab for an attached or detached garage, poured thick enough for cars and sloped toward the door so melted snow drains out instead of pooling.
Colored, stained or exposed-aggregate finishes for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry to match the house rather than plain gray concrete.
Poured concrete walls that hold back a sloped yard or the ground beside a driveway, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push the wall over.
Interior slabs for basements, shops, sunrooms and commercial spaces, placed level and finished smooth so flooring or equipment can go right on top.
The concrete around an inground pool, finished with a texture that grips wet feet and sloped so splash water runs to drains, not into the pool.
Front and back steps poured in forms with steel inside, for homeowners whose old steps have pulled away from the house or crumbled at the edges.
The slab a new house, addition or garage sits on, poured over a packed base for builders and owners who need a level, solid start.
Footings and poured walls for new homes and additions, laid out and formed to the plans so the framing crew starts on square, level concrete.
Concrete lots and drive aisles for property owners and businesses, graded so rain runs to the drains and built thicker where delivery trucks turn.
The wide concrete base under a wall, deck post, porch or addition, dug and poured so the weight above spreads into firm ground.
Lifting a sunken slab or settled foundation back toward level, for homeowners seeing a step that dropped, a gap at the wall or doors that stick.
Saw cutting through existing slabs and walls to open a doorway, run a pipe, take out a damaged section or cut joints in new concrete.
Why Chesterfield homeowners call an O'Fallon crew
Chesterfield sits in St. Louis County, across the Missouri River from O'Fallon, where I started this business in 2017, and I come out to do the estimate myself. The work there looks a lot like what we do as a concrete contractor in O'Fallon, MO, and in cities like Maryland Heights and Florissant. We see a lot of homes that have had the same driveway and patio for years and are ready for new ones.
Replacement work in an established yard changes the job. The lawn, beds and trees usually run right up to the old slab, so I plan how the old concrete comes out and where the equipment goes before we dig out and pack a new base.
- On-site estimate from the owner
- Written scope, including what's left out
- Permit paperwork handled when it's needed
How we run a Chesterfield job
I walk it with you
I come out, walk the job with you and write up the estimate myself, with what's included and what isn't, like hauling the old concrete away.
What moves the price
The price turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick.
City first, then county
Chesterfield's zoning approval comes before the St. Louis County building permit, so we check your job first, and when a permit's needed we handle the paperwork and line up inspections.
Every step in order
The start date turns on any approvals and the weather, and once it's set I lay out tear-out, base, forms, pour and the curing wait in order.
- Licensed and insured
- Written estimate before any work starts
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Slabs sloped away from the house
- Pours timed around the day's heat
- Control joints cut on time
- Job site cleaned up before we leave
- Satisfaction guaranteed
You should know what you're paying for and why each step comes when it does before anything gets poured, and that's how we run a Chesterfield job.
When does a Chesterfield driveway or patio need attention?
Most of these start under the slab, with the base or the water, so they're worth a look before a small problem spreads across the whole slab.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One section sunk below the next
- Water pooling after a rain
- Slab tilting back toward the house
- Chipped or flaking surface
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Gap opening along the garage edge
- Edges crumbling along the lawn

Chesterfield concrete questions
Who issues building permits for concrete work in Chesterfield, MO?
St. Louis County issues building permits in Chesterfield, because the city contracts with the county for permits and inspections. The county issues them for new construction and for changes to existing structures, inside or out, once the city has given its zoning approval. For the county's list of work that doesn't need a permit, call (314) 615-5184, or let us check your job for you.
How long does zoning approval take in Chesterfield, MO?
Standard review of the city's zoning approval, called an MZA, takes 3 to 5 business days, and it has to be in hand before construction starts. The city offers same-day express review for interior residential work only, so a driveway, patio or walk goes through the standard review. We build that wait into the start date we give you.
What affects the cost of a concrete driveway in Chesterfield?
A Chesterfield driveway's price comes down to its size and thickness, how much old concrete comes out and gets hauled away, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. Getting equipment past a finished yard can add work, and stamped or colored finishes cost more than a plain broom finish, which is just brushed for grip. I'll measure it on site and give you a free written estimate showing what's included and what isn't.
How long does new concrete take to cure before I can drive on it?
You'll be back on it on foot well before you can drive on it, because curing, the slow strengthening concrete does after the pour, takes longer than setting hard enough to walk on. Cars wait longer than feet, and heavy trucks wait longest. Weather moves the timing, so I'll give you the dates for your slab before we pour.
Will my new patio crack like the old one did?
It can still crack, but you can keep cracks small and in the places we choose. We cut joints so it cracks along those lines, add rebar, steel bars that hold the pieces together, where the job calls for it, and spend most of our time on the base, because most cracks I see start underneath. If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base work nobody sees on day one.
Do I need city approval for a dumpster during a concrete tear-out in Chesterfield?
Yes, the city requires a zoning approval for a roll-off trash container. It has to sit on your property on a hard surface like the driveway, not on the street, sidewalk or lawn, and the approval is good for 30 days with no fee. If your tear-out uses one, we'll plan its spot so it isn't sitting where the new concrete goes.
