Concrete work we do in Florissant
Most Florissant calls are about replacing older driveways, walks, steps and patios that have cracked, settled or been patched too many times, and we take on the bigger slab work too.
Back patios poured on a packed base and pitched away from the house, for homeowners replacing a cracked slab or adding room off the back door.
Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone or brick, for patios and walks where you'd like more than plain gray.
Front walks and side paths replaced where old sections have heaved or sunk, with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives grip when wet.
New garage slabs where the old floor is cracked, pitted or settling, poured on a packed base and sloped toward the door so water drains out.
Colored, stained or textured concrete for homeowners who want a patio, walk or border that suits an older house better than a plain slab.
Poured walls that hold back soil on sloped yards, built with drainage behind them so water pressure isn't left pushing on the wall.
Interior slabs for basements, workshops and additions, poured level on a prepared subgrade, the packed ground the slab sits on.
Decks around in-ground pools, finished with a texture that's easier on bare feet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and the house.
Front and back steps replaced when the old ones have cracked, tipped or pulled away from the house, rebuilt with even steps that are easier to climb.
Slab foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings, set on a compacted base with rebar, the steel inside that holds the slab together.
Poured foundations for new construction and additions, laid out in order from footings to walls so each stage is checked before the next goes in.
Concrete lots and aprons for property owners and businesses, built heavier where trucks turn and graded so rain runs off instead of sitting.
Footings, the wide concrete base under a wall, porch or addition, dug down to firm ground and poured before anything gets built on top.
Lifting settled slabs and foundations back toward level for homeowners with sunken sections, after we find out why the ground under them moved.
Saw cutting for doorways, drain lines and partial tear-outs, so one bad section can come out without breaking up the whole slab.
Why Florissant homeowners call us for concrete
Florissant is one of the oldest communities in Missouri, and on our jobs here you can see it in the concrete. Around Old Town and through the established neighborhoods, we mostly meet driveways, walks and steps that have been patched or poured over more than once, the same kind of work we see next door in Hazelwood.
We come over from O'Fallon for it, just as we head west to Lake Saint Louis. On an older lot the tear-out usually shows what went wrong, and that ground is what we fix before we pour.

How we run a Florissant job
I come out myself
I look at the slab, the ground and where the water runs at your Florissant house, then lay the job out in order before anyone picks a finish.
Everything in writing
Size, tear-out, base work and finish set the price, and permits and weather set the schedule, so your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't.
Rules checked first
Rules differ from one city to the next, so we check with the offices that cover your address before we put your job on the schedule.
Base before finish
When a budget gets tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base work, because a pattern poured on loose dirt sinks right along with it.
- Old concrete hauled off when quoted
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Slope set so water runs away
- Pours timed around the day's heat
- Control joints cut on time
- Cure time explained before you use it
- Questions answered before you sign
- Site cleaned up at the end
In Florissant most of our work is replacing old concrete, and whatever made it fail is usually still under it, so we fix that first.
Is your Florissant driveway or patio due for work?
Older slabs here have been through a lot of winters, and the small signs usually show up well before a full failure, so they're worth a look early.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- A section that has sunk or tipped
- Water pooling on the slab
- Slab sloping toward the house
- Chipping or flaking on the surface
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Edges breaking off along the street
- Weeds growing up through the cracks

Florissant concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Florissant?
Check with the city before you pour, because Florissant's Building Division issues construction permits for most remodeling, and its examples don't settle every concrete job. The list names things like decks and porches, garages, pools and patio covers. To ask about your project, call the city's public works office at 314-839-7648. 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.
How long does it take to get a building permit in Florissant?
The city's general estimate is 7 to 10 days from application to permit, which leaves time for plan review, a check of the project plans. Permits are handled first come, first served, so that wait comes before your pour date. When your job needs one, we build it into the schedule from the start.
Which building code does Florissant use for home projects?
Florissant uses the International Residential Code, a model code for homes, with changes the city has made to it. Permits the city approves have to comply with both, so a permitted job gets planned to them before anything is formed or poured.
How do I apply for a building permit in Florissant?
Public Works asks that permit applications go through its online self-service portal, linked from the city's permits page. The applicant has to be 18 or older and an authorized agent of the property owner. Public Works takes questions on inspections Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. When your concrete job needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork for you.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Florissant?
It comes down to the size, how much old concrete has to come out and be hauled away, how much base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick. Thickness and access matter too, since a tight side yard means more hand work. I give you the number in a free written estimate on site that lists what's included and what isn't.
What causes concrete driveways to crack and sink in Florissant?
Most cracking and sinking starts under the slab, with a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, water running underneath, or joints cut late or skipped. On older driveways here we usually find more than one of those. Concrete can still crack, so we dig out and pack the base, set the slope and cut joints on time, which keeps any cracks where we planned them.
How long does new concrete take to cure before I can drive on it?
You'll walk on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps curing, slowly gaining strength, for days after the pour. Weather changes how fast that happens, so before we leave we tell you when your slab is ready for feet and when it's ready for cars. Plan on parking somewhere else for a while.
