Arnold sits in the rolling hills south of St. Louis where the Meramec River cuts through limestone and clay, and that geology shapes every concrete job we do here. Ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s on sloped lots deal with settling slabs, cracked driveways, and uneven patios that shift with the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains typical of this part of Missouri.
St. Louis Concrete has been serving Arnold (63010) and the surrounding county for years, and we know exactly what happens when a concrete slab sits on clay over limestone in this terrain. When your driveway cracks, your patio settles, or your garage floor heaves, we show up with the right fix, not a band-aid. That's why homeowners and property managers in Arnold call us first.
Concrete in Arnold (63010)
Arnold's ranch homes and newer subdivisions sit on ground that moves. The red clay and silty loess over limestone bedrock mean slabs settle unevenly, especially on sloped lots common in the Meramec River hills. Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete, and spring storms with heavy runoff accelerate the damage. We see a lot of sunken patios, driveways that have shifted away from garages, and walkways that have become trip hazards because the grade underneath has settled or eroded.
Tight lot access, mature tree roots, and the need to work around existing landscaping are routine here. We're familiar with Arnold's terrain, the soil conditions that cause most failures, and the local permit requirements for driveway and sidewalk work. Our team has lifted sunken slabs, removed and replaced failed concrete, and built new patios that sit level and stay level, even on the hillside properties that make Arnold distinctive.

How a Job Works in Arnold
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your property, look at the concrete, check the grade and drainage, and talk through what's causing the problem and what will fix it. If your lot is steep or access is tight, we factor that in from the start, so there are no surprises.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and handle any local permits required by the City of Arnold. We show up on time, do the job right, and keep your property clean as we go. For removal and replacement jobs, we haul away the old concrete, prepare the base, and pour new material to proper grade and slope so water drains away from your home and the slab stays put.
When we're done, we clean up, do a final walkthrough with you, and make sure everything is level, properly finished, and ready to use. We stand behind our work.
Concrete work in Arnold ranges widely depending on the job size, site access, and what the ground is doing. A typical driveway runs from $6 per square foot; a patio, also $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot. If you have a sunken slab that needs lifting, we can do that from $4 per square foot, which is often cheaper and faster than removal and replacement. Repair and resurfacing of existing concrete runs from $3 per square foot for smaller fixes. Removal and replacement, which is common on sloped lots with failed slabs, runs $7 per square foot and up depending on site prep and base work needed. The biggest cost drivers are the size of the area, how difficult access is, what the existing ground looks like, and how quickly you need it done. Call us at (314) 916-1279 for a free estimate. We'll give you a realistic number based on your actual site.
