Concrete Contractors in Ferguson, MO

Ferguson is an old railroad town, and concrete contractors in Ferguson work on homes from many decades. In 1855, William B. Ferguson deeded 10 acres to the Wabash Railroad, which built a depot in return and gained naming rights; the settlement around it was called Ferguson Station. Ferguson incorporated as a city in 1894. The 2020 census counted 18,527 residents and 8,887 housing units on about 6.2 square miles. We pour and replace driveways, front steps, walks, patios and garage slabs, and repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

Built mostly by 1970

Ferguson grew from 5,724 people in 1940 to 11,573 in 1950 and 22,149 in 1960, and peaked at 28,759 in 1970. Most of its homes, and most of their original concrete, date from before the early 1970s, alongside older houses near the original depot area. Concrete that has been in place for 50 to 80 years usually shows it: scaling surfaces, broken aprons, front steps that have settled or crumbled, and walks lifted at the joints by roots and frost.

What to replace first

When several pieces of concrete on a lot are worn, we help you decide what matters most. Front steps and walks that have become trip hazards are usually first, because they affect safety every day. A driveway with a broken apron or a sunken panel near the garage comes next. Patios and garage floors can often wait or be done in stages. We price each piece separately so you can plan.

Weather the concrete has to survive

Wikipedia describes Ferguson's climate as borderline humid subtropical and continental, with a record high of 115 degrees and a record low of 19 below zero. Swings like that, plus winter freeze-thaw cycles and summer downpours, are what wear out exterior concrete. We use air-entrained mixes outdoors, cure slabs properly and pitch every surface so water runs away from the house. On front steps, we also set a proper footing, so the new steps do not settle the way the old ones did.

Permits

Work in a public right-of-way, such as an approach, curb or public sidewalk, generally needs approval before it starts. We check with the City of Ferguson about what your project requires and line up any inspection before the pour.
