Residential Concrete Services
We pour, finish, and repair concrete for homes throughout Green Bay, De Pere, Ashwaubenon, Howard, and the surrounding Brown County communities. Our residential work covers everything from a standard four-inch driveway slab to stamped patios, garage floors, retaining walls, and poured steps built to handle Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles.
Concrete Driveway Installation
A driveway in northeast Wisconsin has to survive road salt, plow blades, and roughly 40 freeze-thaw cycles each winter.
We excavate to grade, install and compact a base of crushed aggregate, and pour at a minimum thickness of four inches for passenger vehicles or five to six inches where RVs, boat trailers, or delivery trucks park.
Our standard mix for exterior flatwork is 4,000 PSI with air entrainment, which gives the hardened concrete microscopic voids that absorb the pressure of freezing water.
We place control joints at intervals of roughly 10 feet to direct where shrinkage cracking occurs, and we recommend a penetrating sealer after the first 28-day cure.
Typical timeline: one day of excavation and forming, one day for the pour, then 7 days before vehicle traffic.
Concrete Walkway/Sidewalk Installation
Walkways carry foot traffic, so we pour them at four inches over a compacted base, with widths generally between 36 and 48 inches.
Front entry walks tend to look best at 48 inches wide, since two people can pass comfortably and the proportion suits most home fronts.
We slope every walkway away from the foundation at about a quarter inch per foot so meltwater drains toward the lawn instead of pooling at your door.
Finish options include:
- Broom finish — the standard, with good traction when wet or icy
- Exposed aggregate — decorative and slip-resistant
- Stamped border with broom field — adds detail without the full cost of a stamped walk
City sidewalk replacement in Green Bay follows municipal specifications, and we handle those permits and inspections when the work falls in the right-of-way.
Concrete Patio Installation
A poured concrete patio gives you a continuous, level surface with no joints for weeds to grow through and no pavers to shift out of place.
We size and lay out the patio around how you actually plan to use it. A dining set for six needs about 12 by 14 feet; adding a grill station or seating area pushes that closer to 16 by 20.
Standard construction is four inches of concrete over four to six inches of compacted granular base, sloped away from the house for drainage.
We can tie a new patio into an existing slab with a doweled joint, or keep the two separate with an isolation joint so they move independently.
Options we frequently add include integral color, a thickened edge for future pergola posts, and conduit sleeves run under the slab for outdoor lighting or gas lines.
Stamped Concrete Patio
Stamped concrete uses textured mats pressed into fresh concrete to reproduce the look of flagstone, slate, wood plank, brick, or cobblestone.
Color comes from two layers: an integral color mixed into the concrete and a release agent that adds secondary tones and keeps the stamps from sticking.
Stamped surfaces need a solvent- or water-based sealer every two to three years to hold color and resist salt.
We advise clients to keep de-icing chemicals off stamped work and use sand for winter traction instead.
Expect stamped concrete to cost roughly 50 to 100 percent more per square foot than a broom-finished slab.
Concrete Steps
Poured concrete steps are formed and cast as a single connected unit, which prevents the separation and settling common with precast blocks.
We build risers at 6.5 to 7.5 inches and treads at 11 to 12 inches, matching Wisconsin residential code and keeping the climb consistent from bottom to top.
Footings extend below the 48-inch frost line in Brown County so the steps do not heave when the ground freezes.
We reinforce with rebar tied into the footing and cast the steps against the foundation with an isolation joint, so any minor movement does not crack the house wall.
Broom-finished treads are standard for grip. We can add a stamped or exposed aggregate face to match an adjoining patio or walkway, and we set anchor points for handrails during the pour rather than drilling later.
Concrete Slab Foundation
We pour slab foundations for garages, additions, sheds, sunrooms, and detached shops.
A typical monolithic slab combines the floor and the perimeter footing in one pour, with the thickened edge reaching below frost depth. For attached structures, we often use a frost wall with a separate floor slab poured afterward.
Every slab we place includes:
- Compacted granular fill, usually 3/4-inch crushed stone
- A 10- or 15-mil vapor barrier under heated spaces
- Rigid foam perimeter insulation where required by code
- Rebar or welded wire reinforcement sized to the load
- Anchor bolts or straps set to the framing plan
We verify elevations against the site survey before the pour and screed to a flat, level finish so wall plates sit tight without shimming.
Concrete Pool Deck
Pool decks need traction when wet and a surface that stays comfortable underfoot in July.
We use a light broom or textured stamp finish for slip resistance and recommend lighter colors, which absorb less heat than dark charcoal or brown tones.
Drainage matters more here than on any other flatwork. We slope the deck away from the pool shell at a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot and can install trench drains or channel drains where the deck sits below grade.
Reinforcement and control joint spacing are planned around the pool coping so the joint pattern looks intentional rather than random.
For above-ground pools, we pour a level pad section for ladders, equipment, and seating rather than ringing the entire pool.
Concrete Garage Floor
Garage floors take point loads from jacks, vehicle tires, and dropped tools, so we pour them thicker than a patio.
Our standard is a five-inch slab at 4,000 PSI over compacted stone, reinforced with welded wire mesh or fiber, with a six-inch pour where heavy equipment or a car lift is planned.
We pitch the floor toward the overhead door at about an eighth of an inch per foot so melting snow drains out instead of collecting.
Finish and protection choices:
- Hard trowel finish — smooth, easy to sweep, standard for garages
- Densifier — hardens the surface and reduces dusting
- Penetrating sealer — blocks salt and moisture absorption
- Floor drain — an option where plumbing access allows
We also replace failed garage floors, breaking out and hauling the old slab before rebuilding the base.
Concrete Retaining Wall
Poured concrete retaining walls hold back soil on sloped lots and create usable flat yard space.
We design walls with a footing below frost depth, vertical and horizontal rebar sized to the retained height, and drainage behind the wall consisting of washed stone, filter fabric, and a perforated drain tile that outlets to daylight.
Drainage is what keeps a wall standing. Saturated soil behind an undrained wall generates hydrostatic pressure that will eventually push it over.
Walls over four feet in exposed height typically require engineered plans and a permit in most Brown County municipalities, and we coordinate that process.
Finish options include board-form texture, smooth form finish, or a stamped face that ties into adjacent patio work.
Concrete Curbing & Edging
Poured concrete edging separates lawn from mulch beds, holds landscape material in place, and gives your mower a clean wheel line.
We extrude continuous curbing on site with a curb machine, so there are no seams or joints for grass roots to push through.
Standard profiles run 6 inches wide by 4 inches tall for a low mower-friendly edge, or a slanted profile at 8 inches wide for beds holding deeper mulch or stone.
Control joints are cut every few feet to manage cracking, and integral color plus stamped texture are available if you want the curbing to match a patio or walkway.
Installation is fast. Most residential edging runs are formed and finished in a single day, with foot traffic acceptable after 24 hours.
Our Commercial Concrete Services
We pour, finish, and repair concrete for businesses across Brown County, from retail parking lots on Oneida Street to distribution facilities in the Green Bay industrial corridor. Our commercial work covers heavy-traffic pavement, warehouse slabs built to tight tolerances, and industrial floors that hold up under forklifts, chemicals, and constant wear.
Parking Lot Concrete
Concrete parking lots handle Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt, and they don't soften under summer heat or leak binder under fuel drips.
We typically pour parking lots at 5 to 7 inches thick, depending on traffic. Passenger vehicle stalls need less depth than drive lanes, loading areas, or dumpster pads that see loaded garbage trucks.
Our scope includes:
- Subgrade preparation and compaction testing
- Air-entrained mix (6% target) for freeze-thaw durability
- Sawcut control joints on a spacing plan matched to slab thickness
- Integral curb and gutter, ADA-compliant ramps, and detectable warning plates
- Broom finish for traction and sealing where specified
We also grade for drainage before any concrete goes down. Standing water on a Green Bay lot in January becomes an ice hazard and a liability.
Warehouse Floor Concrete
Warehouse slabs carry rack loads, pallet jacks, and lift trucks that expose every flaw in a floor. Flatness and jointing decide whether that floor performs for 30 years or starts spalling in 3.
We place slabs-on-grade over compacted stone with vapor barriers, then finish with laser screeds and ride-on power trowels for consistent results across large pours.
Joint filling matters most in narrow-aisle operations. Unprotected joint edges break down fast under hard-wheeled traffic.
Industrial Concrete Flooring
Manufacturing floors face conditions that standard slabs won't survive: hydraulic fluid, cutting coolant, wash-down water, thermal cycling, and steel-wheeled equipment.
We build these floors around the exposure. That means selecting mix designs with lower water-cement ratios, adding hardeners or dry-shake toppings in high-abrasion zones, and coordinating with your coating contractor on surface profile.
Common industrial work we handle:
- Equipment pads and machine foundations with anchor bolt templates set to shop drawings
- Trench drains and containment curbs formed into the slab
- Slab repair and joint rebuild on existing floors, scheduled around production
- Densified and polished surfaces for facilities that want a sealed, low-maintenance floor
We phase pours to keep plants running. Sectional demolition and replacement lets us work one bay at a time rather than shutting down an operation.
Concrete Repair and Maintenance
Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles put steady pressure on concrete, and small problems tend to grow each winter. We repair cracked and spalled surfaces, lift settled slabs back to grade, and apply protective sealers that slow future deterioration.
Concrete Repair
Cracks in a driveway or garage floor usually start with water. Moisture enters a hairline gap, freezes, expands, and widens the opening a little more each season.
We begin every repair by identifying the cause. A crack from normal shrinkage is treated differently than one caused by tree roots, poor base preparation, or a failing subgrade.
Common repairs we handle include:
- Crack routing and filling with flexible polyurethane or epoxy
- Spall and pop-out patching on surfaces damaged by de-icing salt
- Step and stoop repair, including tread and riser rebuilding
- Foundation wall crack injection to stop basement seepage
- Partial slab replacement when a section is beyond patching
If a slab has heaved, crumbled across a wide area, or lost structural integrity, we will say so and quote replacement rather than a repair that will not last.
Concrete Leveling and Mudjacking
Settled concrete is rarely a sign of bad concrete. More often, the soil beneath it has compacted, eroded, or washed out, leaving voids that let the slab drop.
Rather than tearing out a sound slab, we lift it. Small holes are drilled through the concrete, material is pumped underneath to fill the voids, and the slab is raised back to its original elevation. The holes are then patched.
Leveling generally costs less than replacement and is usable within hours instead of days. It also preserves the existing surface, which matters on stamped or colored concrete.
Concrete Sealing and Resurfacing
Sealing is the most cost-effective maintenance step available. A penetrating sealer reduces water absorption, which limits freeze-thaw damage and salt scaling through the winter months.
We recommend resealing exterior flatwork every two to three years in this climate, depending on exposure and traffic. New concrete should cure fully — typically 28 days or more — before the first application.
When a surface is worn but structurally sound, resurfacing offers an alternative to removal. A polymer-modified overlay is bonded over the existing slab, restoring a uniform finish. Overlays can be broom finished, stamped, or colored to change the appearance.
We evaluate the slab first. Resurfacing works well over surface wear and light scaling, but it will not correct active cracking or an unstable base.
Why We're the Best Concrete Company in Oshkosh
Green Bay winters push concrete to its limits, with freeze-thaw cycles that crack poorly poured slabs within a few seasons. We build around that reality by using air-entrained mixes, proper base preparation, and control joints placed at correct intervals.
Our crews handle driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, and foundations across Brown County, and we document every step so you know exactly what you're paying for.
What Does Our Expert Concrete Process Involve?
Every project follows the same sequence, whether it's a 400-square-foot patio or a full driveway replacement.
Planning & Timeline
Most residential concrete projects in Green Bay take between three days and two weeks from excavation to final walk-through, with weather and slab size driving most of the variation. Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles also narrow the pouring window, so scheduling matters as much as the pour itself.
01
How Long Does a Concrete Project Take?
A standard two-car driveway or 400-square-foot patio typically runs 3 to 5 working days on site. Larger projects, or those requiring tear-out of existing concrete, extend that window.
Stage and Typical Duration
- Demolition and removal of old slab: 1 day
- Excavation, grading, base prep: 1–2 days
- Forming and reinforcement: 1 day
- Pouring and finishing: 4–8 hours
- Form removal and cleanup: 1–2 days after pour
We schedule most residential work 2 to 6 weeks out, depending on the season. Spring and early summer book fastest in Brown County.
02
When Is the Best Time to Pour Concrete?
Late spring through early fall is the practical pouring season in Northeast Wisconsin. From mid-May to mid-October, daytime temperatures usually sit in the ideal 50°F to 85°F range for placement and finishing.
June and September tend to be the most reliable months. Temperatures are moderate, and humidity is high enough to slow surface evaporation without delaying finishing.
We do pour in late fall and occasionally in winter, using heated blankets, insulated forms, and accelerating admixtures. This adds cost and requires calm scheduling, so we recommend it only when a project cannot wait.
August pours are scheduled for early morning. Concrete placed on a 90°F afternoon can begin setting before finishing is complete.
03
How Weather Can Affect Concrete Installation
Concrete is a chemical reaction, not a drying process, and temperature controls its speed.
- Below 40°F: Hydration slows sharply. Without heated enclosures or admixtures, strength gain stalls and the slab is vulnerable to freeze damage.
- Above 90°F: Water evaporates from the surface too quickly, which can cause plastic shrinkage cracking and a weak surface layer.
- Rain within 4–8 hours of placement: Surface water can dilute the finished top layer and leave a dusting, scaling surface.
- High wind: Accelerates evaporation as much as heat does, especially on open sites near the bay.
We monitor forecasts closely and will move a pour date rather than place concrete under conditions that compromise the finished surface. A one-day delay is far less costly than a slab that scales after its first winter.
04
How Long Does Concrete Need to Cure?
Concrete reaches roughly 70% of its design strength in 7 days and its specified 28-day strength after four weeks. Curing continues slowly for months after that.
- 24–48 hours — Forms come off; light foot traffic is acceptable
- 7 days — Roughly 70% of design strength reached
- 7–10 days — Passenger vehicles can typically use a driveway
- 28 days — Full design strength; heavy vehicles and equipment are safe
- 28–30 days — Earliest point for applying most sealers
During the first week, we ask homeowners to keep the surface damp in hot weather or leave curing compound undisturbed, depending on the method used.
Avoid deicing salts on concrete through its first winter. New slabs have not fully sealed their pore structure, and chlorides applied too early are a leading cause of surface scaling in Wisconsin driveways.
Cost & Budget
Concrete pricing in Green Bay depends on material volume, site conditions, thickness, and finish choices. Below we break down typical ranges, the variables that move a quote up or down, and when repair makes more sense than replacement.
What Does a New Concrete Project Cost?
Most residential concrete projects in the Green Bay area fall between roughly $500 and $12,000, depending on scope.
A small sidewalk section or garage apron sits at the low end. A full driveway replacement with removal and disposal sits at the high end.
Ready-mix concrete itself runs about $147 to $176 per cubic yard locally, with delivery fees between $130 and $290 per truck. Short-load fees apply when an order falls below a full truck, usually under 8 yards.
We quote every job after measuring the site, because square footage alone doesn't account for excavation, base gravel, reinforcement, or access limitations.
Factors That Affect Concrete Pricing
Several variables determine where your project lands in the price range:
- Slab thickness — 4" is standard for patios and walkways; driveways and areas holding heavy vehicles need 5" to 6", which increases material volume by 25% to 50%.
- Subbase preparation — Poor soil or high water tables require additional compacted gravel, adding $1 to $3 per square foot.
- Demolition and removal — Tearing out existing concrete typically adds $2 to $6 per square foot, including hauling and dump fees.
- Reinforcement — Rebar costs more than wire mesh but is recommended for driveways and structural slabs.
- Finish type — Broom finish is the baseline; exposed aggregate, stamping, and integral color each add cost.
- Site access — If a truck cannot reach the pour area, wheelbarrowing or pumping adds labor hours.
Season matters too. Cold-weather pours in Wisconsin may require blankets, heated water, or accelerators.
Concrete Cost Per Square Foot
Breaking it down by finish makes comparison easier:
Finish Type andCost Per Square Foot
- Standard broom finish: $8–$12
- Exposed aggregate: $11–$15
- Stamped concrete: $14–$20
- Colored/stained: $12–$18
These figures include forming, materials, placement, finishing, and cleanup for standard conditions.
Larger pours generally cost less per square foot because setup costs spread across more area. A 200-square-foot patio may price at $9 per foot, while a 900-square-foot driveway of the same finish could come in closer to $7.
Removal of old concrete, extensive grading, or drainage work is quoted separately.
Driveway, Patio, and Slab Cost Considerations
Driveways are usually the largest concrete investment on a property. A standard two-car driveway of 600 to 800 square feet at 5 inches thick with proper base commonly lands in the $6,000 to $11,000 range with removal included.
Patios are more flexible. Adjusting size by 50 square feet or choosing a broom finish over stamping can move the budget meaningfully without changing durability.
Garage and shed slabs need a thickened edge or footing depending on the structure above, and permit requirements in Brown County can affect scope.
Drainage planning matters on every one of these. Correct slope away from the foundation costs nothing extra when planned upfront and prevents expensive water problems later.
Repair vs. Concrete Replacement
Repair is the better value when the concrete is structurally sound. Crack sealing, joint caulking, and resurfacing typically cost a fraction of replacement.
Slab jacking or mudjacking can lift a settled sidewalk or garage floor for far less than pouring new. It works when the slab itself is intact and the problem is voids underneath.
Replacement makes more sense when we find:
- Widespread spalling and surface loss from freeze-thaw damage
- Multiple cracks wider than 1/4 inch with vertical displacement
- Slabs broken into several loose pieces
- Sections thinner than the intended use requires
- Standing water caused by reverse slope
We tell homeowners directly when repair will only buy a few years. Spending $1,500 on patching a driveway that needs replacing within three seasons isn't a savings.
Proudly Serving the Green Bay Area
Our crews travel well beyond Green Bay city limits. If your property sits within about an hour's drive of our shop, we can likely take on your project.
We also handle jobs in Oconto, Pulaski, Denmark, Wrightstown, Shawano, and Manitowoc.
Not seeing your town listed? Give us a call anyway. We evaluate out-of-area requests individually, and larger commercial or agricultural projects often justify a longer drive.
A few things worth knowing about our service area:
- Travel outside Brown County may affect scheduling windows, particularly during the busy summer pour season.
- Concrete has a limited working time after batching, so distance from the nearest ready-mix plant factors into how we plan each pour.
- Estimates remain free for properties within our standard radius.
Rural properties are no problem for us. We've poured driveways on long country lots, machine shed floors on working farms, and foundations on wooded parcels where access takes some planning.
Whether you're in a downtown Green Bay neighborhood or ten miles down a county highway, the same crews and the same standards apply to your job.
Communities we regularly work in:
- Allouez and De Pere
- Ashwaubenon and Howard
- Suamico
- Appleton and Kaukauna
- Little Chute and Freedom
- Seymour
- Sturgeon Bay
- Algoma
- Kewanee and Egg Harbor
- Luxemburg
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to the questions we hear most often from Green Bay homeowners and property managers, covering our service list, estimate process, project timelines, licensing, pricing variables, and repair options.
We handle both flatwork and structural concrete for residential and commercial properties throughout Brown County.
Our common projects include:
- Driveways and aprons — new pours and full replacements
- Patios and walkways — broom finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete
- Garage floors and slabs — including sheds, additions, and pole barns
- Sidewalks and steps — with code-compliant riser heights
- Foundations and footings — for new construction and additions
- Repair work — crack filling, resurfacing, and slab leveling
We also seal finished concrete and can return for maintenance sealing, which most surfaces in this climate need every two to four years depending on exposure and traffic.
Yes. We provide written estimates at no cost and no obligation.
An estimate typically involves an on-site visit so we can measure the area, check drainage and grade, and look at soil and access conditions. Photos and dimensions can get you a ballpark figure by phone, but we recommend the site visit for accurate numbers.
Your written quote itemizes square footage, thickness, base preparation, reinforcement, finish type, and removal of existing concrete if applicable.
Most residential driveways and patios take two to four working days on site.
Curing is a separate matter from installation. Foot traffic is usually fine after 24 to 48 hours, while vehicles should stay off new concrete for 7 to 10 days. Full cure strength develops over roughly 28 days.
Weather affects scheduling. In Green Bay, our pouring season generally runs from spring through late fall, and we monitor forecasts closely since rain and freezing temperatures both interfere with proper curing.
We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we maintain the credentials required to work in Green Bay and surrounding municipalities.
We are happy to provide a certificate of insurance before work begins. We also pull the necessary permits for projects that require them, including right-of-way work involving driveway approaches and public sidewalks.
Square footage is the starting point, but several other variables move the final number:
- Slab thickness — 4 inches for patios and walkways, 5 to 6 inches for driveways and heavier loads
- Base preparation — the depth of compacted gravel needed given your soil conditions
- Reinforcement — wire mesh versus rebar
- Finish type — broom finish costs less than stamped, colored, or exposed aggregate
- Demolition — removing and disposing of existing concrete adds labor and dump fees
- Site access — a tight backyard that requires wheelbarrowing or pumping costs more than a driveway a truck can reach directly
- Grading and drainage — slopes, retaining needs, and water management
Sealing, control joint layout, and thickened edges also factor in. We break these out on the estimate so you can see where the money goes and adjust the scope if needed.
Yes, though the right fix depends on what caused the problem.
Hairline and minor cracks can often be cleaned and filled with a flexible sealant to keep water out, which limits freeze-thaw damage over the winter.
Surface scaling and spalling — the flaking often caused by de-icing salts — may be a candidate for resurfacing if the slab underneath remains sound.
Settled or uneven slabs can sometimes be raised through mudjacking or foam leveling rather than replaced, which is faster and less expensive.
Structural cracking, heaving, or crumbling usually points to base failure or poor drainage. In those cases, replacement is the more durable answer, since patching a slab with a failed foundation only delays the problem.
We evaluate the concrete and tell you which category yours falls into before recommending a course of action.
