Our standards on every home
Most homeowners call about one thing and mention three more: the driveway, but also the front steps, the walk and the patio out back. Concrete work around a house goes better, and usually costs less, when it's planned together.
We pour the full range: driveways, patios, walkways, steps, retaining walls, foundations and repairs. The standards are the same on every job: a real gravel base, air-entrained concrete, joints where cracks want to go, and a clean site when we leave.

How the job goes
Water and structure first
Foundation leaks, grading and drainage come before anything decorative.
Walls and steps
Retaining walls and steps set the grades the flatwork has to meet.
Driveway and walks
The heavy-equipment work, done before the patio so trucks don't cross new concrete.
Patio and finishes
Patios, pool decks and stamped work last.
Seal and maintain
Sealer once cured, and a plan for the first winter.

Planning ranges for Connecticut in 2026, not quotes. Ledge, tight access, long pump or wheelbarrow runs and very small pours push a job up. Your price comes in writing after we've seen the site.

Planning concrete work around a Connecticut house
Season. Most residential concrete happens April through November. Book in winter for spring work; fall is often the easiest time to get on the schedule.
Oil and propane deliveries. Plenty of Connecticut homes still heat with oil or propane. Tell us your delivery schedule so a heavy truck doesn't drive on a new driveway in its first month.
Permits. Driveways and patios on your lot usually don't need a building permit. Work in the town right-of-way does, and so do foundations, walls over 4 feet, and often new steps at a door.
Associations. Condo and HOA communities often need board approval for exterior changes. We can provide drawings and product details for the application.
Questions we hear about residential concrete
Can you do several projects at once?
Yes, and it usually saves money: one mobilization, one round of permits, and concrete ordered together.
What should I fix first?
Water and safety. Foundation leaks, grading toward the house, trip hazards and broken steps first; decorative work after.
When is the best time of year for concrete work?
Spring through fall for most exterior work. We can pour in cold weather with blankets and adjusted mixes, but flatwork does best in moderate temperatures.
Will you damage my lawn?
Some disturbance at the edges is unavoidable. We backfill edges with topsoil and lay plywood where equipment runs.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Not usually. We need access, water and a way to reach you; the rest we coordinate by phone.
How do I take care of new concrete?
Keep heavy vehicles off for a month, skip deicers the first winter, and seal exterior concrete once it's cured. We leave written care instructions.
