Concrete Contractors in Creve Coeur, MO

Concrete contractors in Creve Coeur mostly work on established homes that have been updated over the years, and the city's growth pattern explains why. Creve Coeur incorporated in 1949, when it had about 2,000 residents. It grew to 8,967 by 1970, 12,304 by 1990 and 18,834 at the 2020 census, with 8,988 housing units on about 10.3 square miles. Wikipedia says the city grew primarily as a stopping point along Olive Boulevard and expanded faster after I-270 and U.S. 40 were built. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and we repair concrete that has failed.

Driveways from several decades

Because Creve Coeur grew steadily over half a century, one street can hold driveways from the 1950s, 1970s and 1990s. Each era fails a little differently. The oldest drives often have scaled surfaces and broken aprons. Middle-aged drives have panels that have settled at the garage or the street. Newer ones may just need a cracked section replaced. We match the fix to the slab rather than recommending a full tear-out by default.

Patios that match a remodeled house

Many homes here have been expanded or remodeled, and the patio is often the last part of the house to catch up. We build plain and stamped patios, extend existing slabs, and add steps from a deck or a new door down to grade. Stamped concrete in stone, slate or wood-plank patterns, with integral color and a sealer, is a common choice for owners who want the patio to look like part of the remodel.

Rolling ground, careful grades

Creve Coeur sits at about 614 feet on rolling ground in central St. Louis County. Its name comes from Creve Coeur Lake, French for heartbreak, which the city's website says formed itself into a broken heart; the lake and its park are now in Maryland Heights to the north. On sloped yards, water from the house and the uphill lots has to go somewhere. We plan where it will go before we form a patio or walk, using pitch, swales or a drain line, so the new concrete does not send water toward the foundation.

Permits

Work in the public right-of-way, such as a driveway approach or public walk, generally needs approval before it starts. We check with the City of Creve Coeur about what your project needs and schedule any inspections before the pour.

HOAs and trustees

Some Creve Coeur subdivisions have trustees or associations with rules about driveways and exterior finishes. Bring the guidelines to the estimate and we will design within them.
