Concrete work we do in O'Fallon
Most O'Fallon homeowners call us about driveways, patios, steps and walks, and builders and property owners call about slabs, footings and lots. We do every service below here.
Concrete patio construction: a patio off your back door, set on a packed base and pitched so rain runs out to the yard, not toward your foundation.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio or walk looks like stone or brick. It costs more than a plain finish.
Concrete sidewalks and side paths from the driveway to your door, poured with a light broom finish, a brushed texture that grips wet shoes.
Garage floor concrete: a new garage slab or a replacement for a cracked, stained one, thick enough for your cars and sloped toward the door so water drains out.
Decorative concrete is colored, stained or textured for homeowners who want more than gray on patios, walks and pool decks. We go over upkeep before you pick one.
Concrete retaining walls hold back soil where a yard steps down, and we build drainage behind them so water doesn't push the wall over time.
Concrete floor installation for basements, shops and outbuildings, poured flat and finished smooth so the floor is ready for sealing, coatings or flooring on top.
Concrete pool decks around an in-ground pool, with a textured top for bare, wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and house.
Concrete steps for the front or back door, replacing ones that have sunk, cracked or pulled away from the house, with even step heights so nobody trips.
Slab foundation building for builders and property owners, poured on a packed, graded subgrade, the dirt and stone the slab sits on, ready for framing.
Foundation installation: footings and poured walls for new homes, additions and garages, formed to the plans and set level so everything above starts square.
Concrete parking lots for businesses and property owners, poured thicker than a home driveway and laid with rebar, steel bars that tie the slab together under trucks.
Concrete footings are the pads and trenches under decks, additions, porches and walls, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight sits on firm ground.
Foundation raising for a sunken slab or settled foundation. I look at why it dropped first, since raising it only holds if the water or soft ground gets fixed.
Concrete cutting saws through existing concrete for a new doorway, a wider driveway, a drain line or a clean edge where only part of a slab comes out.
Why O'Fallon homeowners call us for concrete
We're based in O'Fallon, so a lot of our week goes to subdivision driveways, back patios, front steps and walks here, plus slabs, footings and lots for builders and property owners. We work the same way next door in St. Peters and Dardenne Prairie, and most calls sound alike: a driveway that dropped by the garage, a patio that tips toward the house, steps pulling off the porch.
On those jobs the trouble usually started under the slab, with the base or the drainage, so we fix the ground before we pour anything new.
- The owner does every estimate on site
- Written estimates that spell out exclusions
- Permits checked before we schedule
How a job here runs, first to last
I do the estimate myself
I come out, look at your slab and the ground around it, and write the estimate. Our crew then handles the forming, pouring and finishing.
What moves your price
Size, thickness, tearing out and hauling the old concrete, base work and the finish you pick set the price. Your written estimate shows what's included and what isn't.
What moves the schedule
Permits and inspections, base prep and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before you use it, set the timing. I lay it out in order before we start.
Permits checked first
Rules differ by city, so I check with the City of O'Fallon and any office covering your address before scheduling. When a permit's needed, we handle the paperwork and inspections.
- Old base dug out, new base packed
- Drainage checked before forms go in
- Slabs sloped away from the house
- Pours set early, out of midday heat
- Control joints cut on time
- Written estimate before any work starts
- Questions answered before you pick a finish
- Site cleaned up when we finish
If the budget's tight, cut the finish, not the base. A plain slab can be stained or coated later, but a bad base means tearing it out.
Is your O'Fallon driveway, patio or walk failing?
Most of these signs point to the base or the drainage under the slab, which matters here because so much of the county is low ground.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- Driveway sinking by the garage
- Water pooling on the slab
- Patio tipping toward the house
- Steps pulling away from the door
- Chipping or flaking on top
- Uneven edges that catch a toe
- Dirt washing out from under edges

Questions O'Fallon homeowners ask
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in O'Fallon, MO?
Your driveway's price is set by its size and thickness, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, the base work underneath and the finish you choose. The base is the part you won't see, and it's the last place I'd cut. If the work touches the apron or sidewalk by the street, the city's driveway permit adds a $50 fee. Your free on-site estimate puts your number in writing.
When does a driveway need a permit in O'Fallon?
The city requires a driveway permit to replace or change the part in its right-of-way, the apron and sidewalk area by the street, and to widen a driveway or add one anywhere. A new home's driveway is covered by its building permit. The property owner applies online with the city or at City Hall, and we help with the paperwork.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio or retaining wall in O'Fallon?
A retaining wall needs one, since retaining walls are on the city's building permit list. Patios aren't named on that list, so the Building Division at 636-379-5660 is the place to ask, and I check before we schedule. Grading and land disturbance permits go through the city's Engineering Department. Some addresses are also served by an independent fire district, a separate government that may require its own building permit.
How do I find out if my O'Fallon home is in a flood area?
Start with the city's Floodplain Map Lookup, which shows FEMA's flood areas but is for reference only. The official flood maps are on FEMA's website. City Engineering regulates building in the 100-year floodplain, so if your lot is in one, I check with them before we plan a slab.
What causes a new concrete driveway or patio to crack?
Most cracks come from a base that wasn't dug out and packed, water getting under the slab, or control joints cut late or skipped. Control joints are grooves we cut on purpose so the slab cracks along a straight line instead of wherever it wants. Concrete still moves, but with a packed base and joints cut on time, the cracks usually stay inside the joints, where nobody notices them.
How long does it take to replace a driveway in O'Fallon?
The schedule turns on the permit, the base work and curing before you drive on it. When the city's driveway permit applies, the city does a rough inspection after the old concrete is out and the forms are set, then a final one when the work is done. I lay out the order and every wait before we start, so you know when you'll get your driveway back.
