Concrete Contractors in Clayton, MO

Clayton is small, dense and older than it looks from the high-rises, and concrete contractors working here mostly replace and refit concrete on established residential lots. Clayton was organized in 1877 and incorporated in 1913, named for Ralph Clayton, who donated the land for the St. Louis County courthouse. It is the county seat, and it borders the west side of the City of St. Louis. The 2020 census counted 17,355 residents and 6,926 housing units on just 2.51 square miles, a density of about 6,920 people per square mile. We pour front walks, steps, driveways, patios and garage slabs, and repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

Planned neighborhoods with character

Clayton's residential areas were laid out with care. Claverach Park was planned in the early 1920s by Julius Pitzman, who avoided a traditional street grid. The Moorlands is bounded by Wydown Boulevard, Audubon Drive, Clayton Road and Hanley Road. Davis Place is mostly single-family homes north toward Forest Park Parkway, and part of the city falls within the Hi-Pointe-DeMun Historic District.

On these streets the concrete is part of how the house presents itself. Front walks curve with the lot, steps lead up to entries set above the sidewalk, and drives run along the side of the house to a rear garage. When we replace any of these, we match finish, joint layout and color as closely as concrete allows, and we keep the proportions of the original design.

Working on tight urban lots

With so much packed into 2.5 square miles, access is a real part of every Clayton job. Lots are narrow, street parking is limited, and the work area often sits between a house and a neighbor's fence. We plan where the truck will stand, whether concrete will be pumped or wheeled in, and how to protect lawns, landscaping and the neighbor's property during demolition and the pour. We also plan the schedule around street traffic so the pour is not delayed.

Steps, landings and entries

Many Clayton homes sit up from the sidewalk, with a flight of concrete steps and a landing at the front door. Those steps take the most weather and foot traffic of any concrete on the lot, and they are often the first to scale or settle. We remove failed steps, check the footing and how the steps meet the foundation, and form new ones with even risers and a landing sized for the door. Rail anchors can be set into the new concrete.

Patios behind older homes

Back yards in Clayton tend to be small and private. A well-planned patio can turn that space into an outdoor room. We build plain and stamped patios, garden walks and steps down from a back door, and we pitch everything so water runs away from the house and toward the yard or a drain.

Permits

Work in the public right-of-way, including approaches and public walks, generally needs city approval. We check with the City of Clayton about what your project needs and schedule any inspections before the pour.
