Concrete Contractors in Sunset Hills, MO

Sunset Hills is a hilly, low-density city in South County, and concrete contractors working here spend as much time on grade and drainage as on the concrete itself. The city incorporated in June 1957. It had 3,525 residents in 1960 and 4,915 in 1990, then grew to 8,267 by 2000. The 2020 census counted 9,198 people and 3,534 housing units across about 9 square miles, fewer than 400 homes per square mile. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and we repair concrete that has failed.

Hills and drainage

As its name suggests, Sunset Hills is rolling ground, and many homes sit above or below the street. A driveway that climbs to a garage needs texture for traction and a plan for water running down its length. A patio below a walkout needs to handle runoff from the roof and the yard above. We plan pitch, swales and drains before we form anything, so the new concrete moves water away from the house rather than toward it.

The 2010 New Year's Eve tornado

Around noon on December 31, 2010, an EF3 tornado struck Sunset Hills, killing one person and damaging a three- to four-block area around Lindbergh Boulevard. Any driveway, walk or patio repaired or replaced in that area after the storm is now more than 15 years old. If your slab has cracked, settled or scaled sooner than you expected, we can look at whether the base or the cure is to blame and recommend repair or replacement.

Two kinds of housing

Sunset Hills grew in two stages, with an established core of homes from the city's early decades and a large jump in population in the 1990s. Older driveways and stoops tend to show scaling and settling. Newer concrete is more likely to have a single sunken panel or a cracked corner where water got underneath. We match the fix to what has actually failed.

Larger lots, bigger patios

With so few homes per square mile, many Sunset Hills lots have room for a large back patio, a walk to a garden or a parking pad. We build plain and stamped patios, multi-level layouts with steps, and pads for sheds and equipment, each sized and reinforced for its use.

Permits

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