Concrete work we do in Wentzville
Most Wentzville calls are for driveways, patios, walks and steps at homes old and new, and builders call us for slabs and footings on new lots.
Backyard patios sized to how you'll use them, sloped so rain runs out to the yard instead of toward the back door or the basement walls.
Stamped concrete pressed with a pattern like stone, brick or slate while it's still soft, for patios and walks where you want more than a plain slab.
Front walks and side paths from the driveway to the door, replaced when the old sections have heaved, sunk or split into a trip hazard.
Garage floors poured or replaced for homeowners whose old slab has cracked, settled or gone dusty on top, set to drain toward the door and not the house.
Colored, stained and textured concrete for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry that suits the house, built on the same packed base as plain work.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil on sloped yards, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push the wall out of line.
Interior concrete floors for basements, shops and additions, poured level and smooth over a packed base so they're ready for finish flooring or plain use.
Concrete decks around in-ground pools with a textured top that stays grippy for bare feet, sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and house.
Front and back steps poured with even risers and a solid footing under them, for homes where the old steps have cracked or pulled away from the house.
Slab-on-grade foundations for new homes, additions and garages, for builders and owners who need the ground prep, forms and pour done in the right order.
Poured foundation walls and footings for new builds and additions, laid out to the plans and lined up with the inspections the job calls for.
Concrete parking areas and drives for property owners and small businesses, poured thick enough for the traffic and pitched so rain doesn't sit in low spots.
Footings for decks, porches, additions and garages, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight above sits on firm ground, not loose fill.
Raising and leveling settled slabs and foundations for homeowners whose floors, steps or driveway have dropped, after we find out why the ground under them moved.
Saw-cutting openings, trenches and clean edges in existing concrete, for homeowners and builders adding a door, a drain line or a joint to an old slab.
Why Wentzville homeowners call us for concrete
Wentzville is a short drive west of us in O'Fallon, and the calls we get here run from new driveways and patios at newer homes to tearing out a cracked, sunken driveway at an older house. Builders call too, for slabs and footings on new lots. We do the same work in Saint Charles and Lake Saint Louis, but we look at the ground here on its own terms.
Many lots here were graded with fill, and plenty of ground sits low and holds water. So we dig out and pack the subgrade, the dirt your slab actually sits on, and slope it before we talk about the finish.

How we run a Wentzville job
I do the estimate myself
I walk your lot, check where the water runs and write up what's included and what isn't, like hauling the old concrete away.
What moves the price
Size, thickness, tearing out the old slab and how much base work your ground needs move the price most. Your written estimate gives you your own figure.
What moves the schedule
Your date turns on the permit when one's needed, the weather and curing, since new concrete needs time to gain strength before you walk or drive on it.
Permits checked first
We check the city's rules for your address before we schedule, and when a permit's needed we handle the paperwork and line up the inspections.
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Slope checked away from the house
- Rebar, steel that holds cracks tight, where needed
- Joints cut on time, never skipped
- Pours started early, ahead of midday heat
- Forms checked before the truck arrives
- Questions answered before you sign
- Site cleaned up when we leave
On wet Wentzville ground, if the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before I'd touch the base, because a nice top on a soft base still sinks and cracks.
Is your Wentzville driveway or patio telling you something?
Water is what moves and breaks most slabs around here, so if you spot any of these, it's worth having someone look at the ground underneath.
- Driveway sinking near the garage
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- Water pooling on the patio
- Slab sloping back toward the house
- Chipping or flaking on the surface
- Uneven edges you trip on
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Gaps opening under the slab edge

Wentzville concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Wentzville?
Plan on checking, because driveways are left off the city's list of work that needs no permit. Wentzville's residential code lists flatwork, ground-level slabs like walks and patios, other than driveways on that list. You can apply, track the status and request inspections through the city's Online Permit Center. We check with the city for your address before we schedule, and when a permit's needed we handle the paperwork and inspections.
What happens if concrete work starts before the permit in Wentzville?
The city adds a fee on top of the regular permit fees when permit work on a building or structure starts before the permit is issued. Earthwork under 5,000 square feet and stakeouts are among the listed exceptions. Plans filed for a permit generally have to be sealed by a Missouri-licensed design professional, though the building official can waive them when no plan review is needed. That's why we sort out the permit before we schedule.
How do I find my flood zone in Wentzville?
Start with FEMA's flood map viewer, which FEMA calls the best place to begin for official flood hazard determinations. The city's building code uses FEMA's mapped flood hazard areas as its minimum, so your map matters if you're adding a slab, garage or addition on low ground. If you're near a mapped area, tell me at the estimate so we can plan the base and drainage around it.
Does a new basement floor in Wentzville need a floor drain?
Yes, the city's residential code requires every basement to have a floor drain within 20 feet of the heating and cooling equipment and the water heater. If you're pouring a new basement floor or replacing an old one, the drain spot has to be settled before the pour, since moving it later means cutting the slab. I'll look at where your equipment sits when I come out.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Wentzville?
Your price comes down to the driveway's size and thickness, tearing out and hauling the old one, and how much base work the ground needs. Low or filled ground can mean more digging and packing, and a stamped or colored finish costs more than a plain broom finish. I'll walk it and give you a free written estimate, with no obligation, that lists what's included and what isn't.
What should I check before hiring a concrete contractor in Wentzville?
Make sure they can get your permit issued. The city won't issue a license or permit to anyone who hasn't paid all their city taxes and fees, and a business license applicant has to be current on Missouri sales tax. A contractor who's behind can hold up your job. We're licensed and insured, and we'd rather answer your questions before you sign than after.
