Florissant's solid brick ranches from the 1950s and 1960s are built to last, but their original concrete driveways, garage slabs and walkways are now showing their age. Decades of St. Louis freeze-thaw cycles, winter salt, and the region's heavy clay soil have cracked, spalled and settled that concrete into uneven, hazardous surfaces that need real repair or replacement.
St. Louis Concrete knows Florissant (63031) well. We've spent years fixing the exact problems that plague these neighborhoods: crumbling driveway edges, sunken garage floors that trap water, and buckled sidewalks that trip homeowners. When your concrete fails, we show up with the right crew and the right solution, not a sales pitch.
Concrete in Florissant (63031)
Florissant sits on silty loess and clay over limestone, the same ground that underlies much of St. Louis County. That soil settles unevenly, especially under the weight of a car parked on the same driveway spot for twenty years. Winter brings real freeze-thaw: water seeps into tiny cracks in your slab, freezes, expands, and breaks the concrete apart from the inside. Road salt, spread to keep streets passable, scales the surface and pits it until the top layer crumbles away. Summer heat speeds concrete curing but also accelerates spalling in slabs that are already stressed. Your 1950s garage floor or driveway was poured without today's air-entrainment and reinforcement standards, so it cracks and settles faster than modern concrete does.
We've repaired hundreds of Florissant driveways, garage slabs, and walkways. We understand the lot sizes, the drainage patterns, and the freeze-thaw damage that's typical here. When we pour new concrete or resurface old, we account for the local soil, slope the surface for water runoff, and use methods that stand up to this climate.

How a Job Works in Florissant
You call us at (314) 916-1279 or contact us online. We schedule a free on-site visit, usually within a day or two. We walk your driveway, patio, garage floor, or walkway, check for cracks, settlement, water pooling, and trip hazards. We listen to what you've noticed: the driveway that's heaving near the street, the garage floor that's cracked in a stair-step pattern, the sidewalk that's sinking. We explain what's happening, what it'll cost to fix, and how long the work takes. No pressure, no surprise fees.
On job day, we show up with the crew and equipment needed. If it's a repair, we remove the damaged concrete, prep the base, and pour or resurface with concrete mixed for our local soil and climate. If it's a full replacement, we haul out the old slab, check the grade and drainage, and pour a new one with proper slope and reinforcement. Tight lot access is common in Florissant, so we work efficiently and keep our footprint small. We coordinate with any HOA if your property is subject to one.
When we're done, we clean up. You get a walkthrough, a chance to ask questions, and concrete that's ready to use. We leave your property clean and safe.
Pricing in Florissant depends on the size of the area, the condition of what's there now, site access, and how urgently you need it done. A typical driveway repair or resurfacing runs from $3 to $6 per square foot, depending on depth of damage and whether we're just filling cracks or replacing the whole slab. Garage floors and new concrete slabs start around $5 to $6 per square foot. Decorative or stamped concrete for a patio runs $10 per square foot and up. Sealing existing concrete to slow future damage costs about $0.75 per square foot. The best way to know what your job will cost is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (314) 916-1279 and we'll give you a realistic number based on what we see.
