Concrete Built
To Outlast The Decade.

A standard broom-finish patio in St. Charles County typically runs $8–$14 per square foot, so a 14×20 patio (280 sq ft) lands around $2,800–$4,200 installed. Stamped concrete runs $14–$22 per square foot. Decorative integral color adds about $1.50–$2.50 per square foot. Every quote is written, itemized, and includes site prep, materials, labor, joint cuts, and clean-up.

You can walk on new concrete in 24–48 hours. Driveways and patios should stay off vehicle traffic for 7 days. Full cure strength is reached at 28 days, but the slab is structurally sound and usable well before that. We provide a written care sheet at the end of every project covering cure-time do's and don'ts.

Yes, with the right precautions. We pour year-round in St. Charles County above 25°F using heated mixes, accelerators, and insulated blankets to protect green concrete from freezing in the first 24–48 hours. We don't recommend cosmetic stamped or decorative work below 40°F, but flatwork pours fine. Spring and fall are still the best windows for finish quality.

Stamped concrete typically costs 30–50% less than equivalent paver work, installs faster, and doesn't need re-leveling, sand replacement, or weed control between joints. Pavers can be lifted and replaced individually if damaged, where stamped concrete needs full-slab repair. For most St. Charles homeowners, stamped concrete is the better long-term value — same look, fewer maintenance headaches.

Standard residential driveways are poured at 4" thickness. If you have a heavy vehicle (RV, boat, dual-wheel truck) we recommend 5–6". Apron sections at the curb cut should always be at least 6". We use a 4,000 PSI mix with fiber reinforcement as our standard; this exceeds the typical 3,000 PSI most contractors pour and significantly reduces freeze-thaw cracking.

Concrete cracks for three reasons: shrinkage during cure (normal, controlled with saw-cut joints), settlement (caused by poor sub-base prep), or impact/overload. Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers cracks caused by our install — improper joint spacing, sub-base failure, finish failures. Hairline cracks at control joints are by design, not a defect. We walk you through what to expect at the final hand-off.

Yes. We pull all required permits in St. Charles, O'Fallon, St. Peters, Wentzville, and the surrounding municipalities. Missouri One Call (utility locate) is scheduled before every excavation. No surprises, no extra fees — it's built into your quote.
