Concrete Contractors in Mehlville, MO

Homeowners calling concrete contractors in Mehlville are usually in an established South County neighborhood with concrete that has seen many winters. Mehlville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in south St. Louis County, which Wikipedia describes as an inner-ring suburb known locally as South County. The 2020 census counted 28,955 residents and 13,854 housing units on about 7.5 square miles of land. It spans parts of the Lemay, Tesson Ferry and Oakville townships and the 63125, 63128 and 63129 ZIP codes. We replace driveways, build patios and walks, pour steps and slabs, and repair concrete that has failed.

Dense, established neighborhoods

With nearly 13,900 homes on 7.5 square miles, Mehlville is much more tightly built than the outer suburbs. Lots are modest, houses are close together and driveways are often single or narrow double drives. That means most of our work here is replacement: a front drive that has broken up, a stoop that has settled, a back patio that tilts toward the house, or a garage floor cracked into pieces.

On close-set lots, we plan the job around the neighbors. That includes where the truck will park, how demolition debris leaves the site and how we protect the yard next door during the pour.

County permits for an unincorporated area

Because Mehlville has no city government, local services come from St. Louis County. For a driveway approach, curb cut or public walk, we check with St. Louis County Transportation and Public Works about what your address requires and secure any permit before we start. For patios and private walks, we confirm whether a county permit applies.

Why older South County concrete fails

The most common causes we see are water and base. Downspouts that empty onto the edge of a patio or drive slowly wash out the soil underneath. Slabs poured thin or without a compacted rock base settle unevenly. Road salt tracked onto driveways every winter scales the surface. And freeze-thaw cycles open any crack that lets water in.

Our fix starts underneath. We remove failed concrete and soft soil, compact a rock base, set forms with a clear pitch away from the house, use air-entrained concrete outdoors and cut control joints at the right spacing. Where downspouts are part of the problem, we suggest routing them away from the new slab.

Patios and stamped concrete

Many Mehlville owners replace a small original patio with something larger, or add stamped concrete for a finished look. We build plain and stamped patios, garden walks and steps down from a back door, sized to fit a compact yard.
