Concrete Contractors in Crawfordsville, IN

Crawfordsville is one of the oldest cities we serve, and concrete contractors here work on everything from century-old walks to new garage floors. Ambrose Whitlock, a veteran of Anthony Wayne's campaigns, platted it in March 1823 beside Sugar Creek, which feeds the Wabash from the south. Town status followed in 1834 and a city charter in 1865. By 2020 it had 16,306 residents and 7,301 homes. Below is what each of our services looks like on a Crawfordsville property.

Concrete Driveways

Older drives in town are often narrow, thin, or broken into pieces. Replacement starts with the base: we dig out failed material and compact new stone before we pour. If your drive meets the street, we check what the City of Crawfordsville requires for the apron and curb.

Concrete Patios

A patio is the most common new pour we plan for existing homes. We size it for your furniture, slope it away from the house and choose a finish that matches how you use it.

Stamped Concrete

A stamped patio or walk gives the look of slate, brick or cobblestone in one slab. It costs more than plain concrete and needs resealing every few years. In historic neighborhoods, many owners keep the front plain and put the stamped work out back.

Sidewalks & Steps

Twelve Crawfordsville properties are on the National Register, the Elston Grove and downtown commercial districts among them. Older homes near those areas often have stoops and front walks that have settled or heaved. We rebuild them with even risers, a landing at the door and a broom finish.

Garage & Shed Slabs

Detached garages behind older homes often sit on thin floors that crack and sink at the door. A new slab with a stone base, thickened edges and a slight pitch toward the door fixes that. We also pour pads for sheds and shops.

Concrete Repair & Replacement

Not every bad slab needs to go. We seal cracks, resurface shallow scaling and replace single panels when the rest is sound. When the slab is broken throughout, we say so.

A college and museum town

Wabash College has been here since 1832, and the city keeps several old public buildings as museums, including the rotary jail that opened in 1882 and the house of Henry S. Lane, a former governor and U.S. senator. Streets around landmarks like these tend to have older walks and narrow drives tucked between mature trees. Where a walk has to pass a large tree, we look at the roots before cutting and will curve or thicken the walk rather than damage a tree you want to keep.

Seasonal timing

Late spring through early fall is the main pouring season. Early fall is often ideal, with mild days and cool nights for an even cure. Book early if you want work done before the first freeze.

Older garages and alleys

Some older blocks have garages reached from an alley. Truck access can be tight there, so we check it during the estimate and plan for buggies or a pump if needed.

A steel town's winters

In 1987 Nucor started building its first sheet steel mill and galvanizing line here, and the city sits at about 758 feet. Like the rest of the region, it sees hard freezes and road salt each winter. Every outdoor slab we pour uses an air-entrained mix, gets proper control joints and is cured before it sees its first freeze. We ask you to skip salt on new concrete that first winter.
