Concrete work we do in St. Peters
Most St. Peters calls are about the driveways, walks and patios that came with the house, where an aging slab has settled, cracked or started holding water.
A backyard patio poured on a packed base and pitched away from the house, so rain runs off into the yard instead of toward your foundation.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a stone, brick or slate pattern while it's still soft, so a patio or walk gets that look without separate pavers.
Front walks and side paths replaced where tree roots or settling have lifted a panel, so the joints line up again and nobody catches a toe.
A new garage slab, or a replacement for one that's cracked, pitted or sloping wrong, poured thick enough for your cars and finished smooth enough to sweep.
Colored, stained or textured concrete for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry with more character than plain gray, still poured on the same solid base.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil where a yard steps down or a driveway cuts into a slope, with drainage behind so water doesn't push them.
Interior concrete floors for basements, workshops and additions, poured level over a packed base, for homeowners and builders who need a flat, solid floor to finish over.
The concrete around an in-ground pool, given a finish that keeps wet feet from slipping and pitched so splash water drains away from the pool and the house.
Front and back steps rebuilt when the old ones have pulled away from the house, cracked through or settled, with even heights so each step feels the same.
Slab foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings, with the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, dug and packed before any steel goes down.
Foundations for builders and owners putting up a new home, addition or garage, checked before the pour, because a foundation is hard to change once it's in.
Concrete lots and drives for property owners and businesses, with a deeper base and rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, so it carries heavier traffic.
Concrete footings for decks, porches, additions and garages, dug to the depth the job calls for so the posts and walls above them stay put.
Lifting a sunken slab or settled section of foundation back toward level, for homeowners whose driveway, walk or garage floor has dropped but is otherwise sound.
Saw-cutting concrete to open a doorway, remove a damaged section, or make room for a plumbing or drain repair without breaking up the whole slab.
Why St. Peters homeowners call us for concrete
Most of what we pour in St. Peters goes into established subdivisions, where the driveways, walks and patios went in with the houses and have taken a lot of winters since. We're a concrete contractor based right next door in O'Fallon, and the calls from St. Peters sound like the ones we get from Dardenne Prairie and Saint Charles: a driveway that's dropped at the garage, a walk with a lifted panel, a patio tipping toward the back door. Builders and property owners call us here too, for slabs, footings and lots.
When an old slab here has failed, the cause is usually under it, so the job gets planned around the base and the water before anyone talks about finishes.
- I do every estimate myself, on site
- Written quotes listing what's included
- Base and drainage checked before any pour
How a St. Peters job runs
I look first
I come out, check how water runs off your lot and what's under the old slab, then give you a written estimate listing what's included and what isn't.
What sets your price
Your price turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work it needs, and the finish you pick.
What sets the schedule
The schedule turns on any permit the city needs, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before you use it.
Permits checked first
Rules change from one city to the next, so we check with the offices covering your St. Peters address before we schedule, and handle any permit paperwork and inspections.
- Old base dug out, not raked over
- New base packed before forms go up
- Slab pitched away from the house
- Forms checked for line and slope
- Control joints cut on time
- Broom finish where feet need grip
- Clear word on when to walk and drive
- Site cleaned up when we leave
- Licensed and insured on every job
Most cracked slabs I see in St. Peters failed underneath, so if the budget is tight, we'd rather spend it on the base than on the finish.
When does a St. Peters driveway or patio need attention?
After a few winters of freezing, thawing and salt, small problems on a slab tend to grow, so these are worth a look when you walk your driveway and yard.
- Cracks wider than a hairline
- One section sunk below the next
- Water pooling on the slab after rain
- Patio sloping toward the house
- Flaking or chipping on the surface
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Gap between driveway and garage floor
- Lifted walk panel you trip on

St. Peters concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a new driveway or patio in St. Peters?
Check with the City of St. Peters before work starts, because the city issues permits for projects such as new construction, additions and remodels, and that list doesn't name driveways or patios. Permits go through the city's CitizenServe portal, which also schedules inspections, or you can call the city at 636-477-6600. Before we schedule, we check with the offices that cover your address, and when a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork and line up the inspections.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in St. Peters?
Your price comes from the size and thickness of the driveway, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, how much base has to be dug out and packed, and the finish. Rebar, tight access for the trucks or a stamped finish raise it, while a broom finish, a light ridged texture that gives tires and shoes grip, keeps it lower. I'll measure and give you a free written estimate that lists what's included.
How long do I have to stay off a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps hardening for days as it cures. Hot or cold weather changes that wait, so we tell you both times, when to walk on it and when to drive on it, before we pour. Plan to park somewhere else until we give the word.
What causes concrete driveways and patios to crack and sink in St. Peters?
Concrete cracks as it shrinks while curing and as it moves through freezing and thawing, and it sinks when the ground under it settles or washes out. Control joints, the grooves cut across a slab, give that shrinking a straight line to crack along instead of a random one, so we cut them on time. No slab is crack-proof, but a packed base and well-placed joints keep most cracks in the joints.
Do I need an occupancy inspection to sell my house in St. Peters?
No, the city doesn't require an occupancy inspection when an owner-occupied home is sold, but building permits still apply to work done at the house. Rentals are different, because the city requires a re-occupancy inspection each time someone other than the owner moves in. If you're replacing steps or a walk before you list or re-rent, we check permits before we schedule.
Is there help paying for a sewer lateral repair in St. Peters?
Yes, St. Peters residents are eligible for help with the cost of repairing a failed sewer lateral through the city's Sewer Lateral Repair Program, and a separate city program helps offset water service line repairs. Ask the city whether your repair qualifies. When the line runs under a driveway or walk, we can saw-cut the concrete out of the way and pour it back once the repair is done.
