Ranch house with a wide concrete driveway and pine trees behind it

Wide new concrete driveway leading up to a two-car garage

Driveways

A driveway takes more abuse than anything else we pour: cars twice a day, a plow blade, salt, and a full Ohio winter of freezing and thawing. We build them for that. The old slab comes out, we dig down past the soft clay, put in compacted limestone, and pour 4 inches for cars or 5 to 6 where a truck or camper sits. Rebar or wire mesh goes in, and the joints get cut so any cracks have a planned place to go.

We also widen driveways, add a parking pad or turnaround, and replace just the apron at the street when that's the only part that's failed.

Most two-car driveways: $6,000 to $11,000.

Backyard concrete patio with outdoor furniture and an umbrella

Patios

A plain broom-finished patio is one of the cheaper ways to get more usable yard. We pour new patios, add on to old ones, and do pads for hot tubs, grills and fire pits.

Every patio gets a slight pitch away from the house. It's about a quarter inch per foot. You won't notice it standing on it, and it keeps rainwater out of your basement.

A 12×16 patio usually runs $1,900 to $3,200 in a broom finish.

Stamped & decorative

Stamped concrete gets pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, then colored and sealed. It can pass for flagstone, slate, brick or wood plank, and since it's one slab underneath, there are no pavers to settle and no gaps for weeds. People around Powell and Lewis Center like it for patios and pool decks.

Plan on resealing every two to three years to keep the color from fading.

Usually $13 to $22 a square foot, depending on the pattern and color.

Repair & replacement

Not every crack means new concrete. Hairline cracks can be cleaned out and sealed. A trip edge between two slabs can often be ground down. A surface that's started to flake can sometimes be resurfaced.

When a slab is broken into pieces, has dropped a couple of inches, or sits on a base that's washed out, patching just buys you a season. Replacing that section is the better spend. We'll show you what we see and tell you which way we'd go.

Small repairs usually run a few hundred dollars.

Concrete walkway with fresh snow along both sides

Sidewalks, steps & stoops

Front walks, side paths to the backyard, steps and front stoops. Walks get a light broom finish for grip and a slight cross-slope so they drain instead of icing over. Steps and stoops sit on footings that go below the frost line, so they don't heave up and pull away from the house.

If the city has marked the public sidewalk in front of your house for replacement, we can redo those squares too and take care of the permit.

Walks usually land between $8 and $14 a square foot. Steps are priced by the job.

Garage floors & slabs

Garage and pole barn floors, shed and workshop pads, footings for additions and decks, and small pads for an AC unit or generator.

Each one gets sized for what it actually has to hold. A shed pad and a floor that has to carry a pickup and a car lift are not the same pour, and we don't price them like they are.

Priced by the job once we've seen it.

Something not on the list?

If it's concrete and it's on the ground at your house, call and ask. If it isn't something we do, we'll tell you, and we'll usually know who does.
