Replacement Work Comes First
A lot of the flatwork in town has been in the ground for decades. Some of it was poured thin, over little or no stone, long before anyone worried about base prep.
Demo Is Real Work
Old concrete varies wildly in thickness and reinforcement. Breakout and haul-off get scoped, not guessed.
Rebuild the Base
Pouring new concrete onto the old failed subgrade repeats the same failure. The base gets corrected first.
Tight Older Lots
Narrow drives and close setbacks limit equipment. Access shapes both the method and the price.
Low Ground and Drainage
Parts of the area sit low relative to the Sangamon. Where water lingers, drainage design has to come before finish selection — a beautiful slab over a wet subgrade still fails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Riverton in your service area?+
Yes. Riverton is a short run northeast of Springfield and is covered routinely.
Do you remove the old concrete?+
Yes. Demolition and haul-off are quoted as part of any replacement, since thickness and reinforcement affect the work.
My drive is cracked but not broken up. Replace or repair?+
Depends on what is under it. Surface cracking on a sound base can often be lived with; movement means the base is the real problem.
