St. Louis is a city of tight urban lots, red-brick rowhouses and Victorian flats built in the 1880s through 1910s, narrow shotgun homes on The Hill, and solid brick bungalows from the 1920s through 1940s scattered across neighborhoods like St. Louis Hills, Tower Grove South, and Southampton. Your concrete, the front walk with its stoop steps, the alley parking pad, the rear garage slab, or a small backyard patio, sits on silty clay over limestone, and it cracks, scales, and settles because of freeze-thaw winters, road salt, and the soft ground beneath.
St. Louis Concrete knows this city and these problems. We've repaired cracked driveways in Lafayette Square, lifted sunken slabs in Soulard, sealed spalling walks in the Central West End, and poured new garage floors and patios across St. Louis and the surrounding county. When your concrete fails, we fix it fast and right.
Concrete in St. Louis (63110)
St. Louis sits on silty loess and clay over limestone bedrock, with old clay-mine fill in some neighborhoods and soft river-bottom soil near the Missouri and Meramec rivers. That ground settles, especially under freeze-thaw cycles and the weight of winter snow and ice. Road de-icing salt scales and pits driveways and sidewalks every winter. Spring thunderstorms bring water, summer heat speeds concrete set times, and the hazy humidity slows curing. Lot lines are tight in the city proper, so access to alleys and rear yards is narrow, and many properties have setback or width limits set by the city or by private street associations in neighborhoods like the Central West End. We know how to work these constraints.
Our team has handled concrete driveways, sidewalks, steps, alley pads, garage floors, and small patios across the city and into St. Louis County and St. Charles County. We understand local soil, local weather, and local lot shapes. We pull permits, coordinate with neighbors and HOAs, and follow city rules. Your concrete is built to last in this climate.

How a Job Works in St. Louis
You call us at (314) 916-1279 or reach out online. We come to your property in St. Louis or the surrounding area, walk the site, measure, look at soil and drainage, check for underground utilities, and talk through what you need. We give you a free estimate on the spot. We'll also flag any city permits you'll need and explain the timeline.
Once you say go, we schedule the work around your calendar and the weather. On job day, our crew shows up, sets up, and gets to work. For driveways and walks, we excavate if needed, prep the base, set forms, pour, finish, and cure. For repairs, we remove the bad concrete, assess the ground, and rebuild it right. For patios and slabs, we work the same way. If your lot is tight, we use smaller equipment and hand tools. If there's an HOA or a shared alley, we coordinate and keep noise and mess contained.
When we're done, we strip forms, broom-finish or trowel the surface to your preference, and clean up. You get a final walkthrough. We haul away old concrete and debris. Your property looks clean and your new concrete is ready to cure.
Concrete costs in St. Louis depend on size, access, existing condition, and urgency. A basic driveway runs from $6 per square foot; a patio, the same. Stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot. Repairs and resurfacing run $3 to $7 per square foot depending on how much demo and rebuild is needed. Sealing costs about $0.75 per square foot and protects against salt and weather. A sunken slab lift or level runs $4 per square foot and avoids the cost of full removal and replacement. Sidewalks, steps, and walkways start at $6 per square foot. Pool decks and polished concrete have their own pricing. Tight urban lots, difficult access, poor soil, or emergency work can raise costs. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (314) 916-1279 for a free on-site estimate. We'll walk your property, discuss options, and give you a real number.
