Concrete work we do in Saint Ann
Most calls from Saint Ann are for replacing worn driveways, walks and steps, along with patios, garage floors and the slab and footing work builders need.
A concrete patio off the back of your house, set level for furniture and sloped so rain runs toward the yard instead of your foundation.
Concrete pressed with patterns that look like stone, brick or slate, for patios and walks where you want a dressier finish than plain broom.
Front walks and side paths poured to meet your steps and driveway cleanly, so there's no lip waiting to catch a toe or a mower wheel.
A new garage slab poured over a packed base and pitched toward the door, for floors that have cracked, settled or started holding water.
Colored, stained or exposed-aggregate concrete for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry that looks finished without the upkeep of loose pavers.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil where a yard steps down, built on a footing with drainage behind so water has a way out.
Interior concrete floors for basements, workshops and additions, poured level over a prepared base for owners and builders who need a flat, solid floor.
Concrete around an in-ground pool, finished so bare feet have grip when it's wet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool.
Front and back steps poured with even risers on a solid footing, replacing stoops that have cracked, crumbled or pulled away from the house.
Slab foundations for garages, additions and outbuildings, poured on a packed base with rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, set inside.
Footings and foundation walls for new homes, additions and garages, formed and poured to the plans so the framing has a true base to sit on.
Concrete lots and drive aisles for businesses, churches and apartment owners, with the base, slope and joints planned out before anyone schedules the pour.
The concrete pads and trenches that carry decks, porches, additions and walls, dug to the plans and poured so the weight above stays put.
Bringing a settled slab or footing back toward level, for homeowners seeing sinking steps, sloping floors or a slab pulling away from the house.
Saw cutting to remove a section of slab, open a trench or doorway, or cut control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack.
Why Saint Ann homeowners call us for concrete
Saint Ann is its own city in St. Louis County, a drive from our base in O'Fallon, and most of what we're asked to do here is on houses people are already living in. That means taking out a driveway, walk or set of steps that has done its time, working around the garage, the porch and the neighbors, and leaving the street clean at the end of the day. We do the same kind of work nearby in Bridgeton and Maryland Heights.
Replacing an old slab is a different job from pouring on open ground, because the base under it has had years to settle, wash out or go soft. We dig it out and pack it again before we form anything, and we check where the water runs so the new slab carries it away from your house.

How we run a job in Saint Ann
I look at it myself
I come out, walk the job with you and measure it, then put the estimate in writing so you know who you talked to and what they saw.
What moves price and schedule
Size, tear-out, base work and the finish set the price, and permits and curing set the schedule. Your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't.
Base before finish
If the budget's tight, go plain on the finish, not thin on the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides how the slab holds up.
Laid out in order
I lay the job out in order, from tear-out and base to forms, pour and joints, so a pour doesn't get pushed into the midday heat.
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Water flow checked before forms go up
- New slab sloped away from the house
- Control joints cut on time
- Pours planned for the cooler hours
- Forms set straight and checked twice
- Old concrete hauled off when it's included
- Driveways and street kept clear for neighbors
- Site cleaned up before we leave
Most slabs we pour in Saint Ann replace old ones, so the hidden work, base and drainage, is what keeps the new one from failing the same way.
What signs mean your Saint Ann concrete needs work?
These are the signs we get called about most in Saint Ann, and they usually trace back to a settled base or water that's been running under the 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 at the garage floor
- Weeds growing up through cracks

Saint Ann concrete questions
Do I need a permit to replace my concrete driveway in St. Ann, MO?
Yes. The City of St. Ann lists asphalt and concrete driveways among the work that needs a city building permit, along with stairs, foundation repair, new construction and demolition. We check with the city before we schedule, and when a permit is needed we handle the paperwork and line up the inspections. If you'd like to ask the city yourself, see the city's building and zoning page or call 314-427-8009.
Does a concrete patio in Saint Ann need a permit?
The city's permit list doesn't name patios, so I don't assume either way. It does name stairs, porches, decks and new construction, so if your patio job includes new steps, those are on the list. We ask the city about your address before we schedule, and you can call the city at 314-427-8009 with your own questions.
Who issues electrical and plumbing permits in St. Ann?
St. Louis County issues electrical, mechanical, plumbing and elevator permits in St. Ann, separate from the city's building permit. The city says that work also gets a plan review, a check of the drawings, from the Community or West Overland Fire Protection District. On a concrete job that matters when we move a floor drain or someone adds wiring, so we sort out which office covers what before we schedule.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Saint Ann?
The price comes down to the driveway's size, whether the old slab has to be torn out and hauled away, how much base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick. Stamped or colored concrete costs more than a plain broom finish. I measure on site and give you a free written estimate that lists what's included and what isn't, so you can compare it fairly.
How long does a driveway replacement take in St. Ann?
It runs in stages, and I'll give you your dates at the estimate. First comes the permit, then tear-out and base work, then forming and the pour, then curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength. You'll be back on it on foot well before you're back on it with the car, and waiting out the cure matters because a slab driven on too soon can crack.
What causes concrete driveways to crack and sink?
Most cracking and sinking starts under the slab, with a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, water running underneath, or control joints cut late or skipped. Control joints are the grooves cut across the surface so the slab cracks along a line we chose. That's where we spend our time on every Saint Ann job, before and right after the pour.
Who licenses businesses in St. Ann, MO?
The City Clerk's Office handles business licenses in St. Ann, and it also keeps the city's official records. If you have a question about a business license in the city, the clerk is the office that issues them. We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to answer questions about that when I come out for the estimate.
