Concrete work we do in Wyoming
Most calls we get from Wyoming are for flatwork, the driveways, approaches, walks and patios people use every day, though we take on the heavier work too.
A patio with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that keeps it from getting slick, set so rain runs into the yard and not toward the house.
Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios and walks where you want more than plain gray.
Front walks, side paths and replacement sidewalk squares that have heaved or sunk, set level so nobody catches a toe on a lifted edge.
A new garage slab for an older garage with a cracked or pitted floor, poured over a packed base so it stands up to cars, salt and slush.
Colored, stained or textured concrete for borders, entries and accents, for homeowners who want new concrete to match the brick or stone already on the house.
Poured walls that hold back soil where a yard slopes toward the house or a driveway, built with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
Interior concrete floors for basements, workshops, sheds and additions, poured flat and finished smooth so they're ready for whatever goes on top.
The concrete around an in-ground pool, finished with enough texture for wet feet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and the house.
Front and back steps poured to replace crumbling or sinking ones, with even rises so they're comfortable to climb and set on solid footings.
A slab that serves as both floor and foundation for a garage, addition or outbuilding, with the subgrade, the packed ground it sits on, prepared first.
Poured foundation walls for new homes, additions and garages, set on footings and built square and level so the framing above goes up true.
Concrete lots and aprons for small business owners, laid out so cars move easily and rain drains off instead of pooling where people walk.
The concrete pads and trenches that carry decks, porches, additions and walls, dug to solid ground so what's built on top doesn't settle.
Lifting and leveling a settled foundation or slab, for homeowners seeing sloped floors, sticking doors or cracks that keep widening, once we know why it moved.
Saw-cutting concrete to remove a damaged section, open a slab for a drain line or cut control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack.
Why Wyoming homeowners call us for concrete
Most of what we're asked to look at in Wyoming is everyday concrete on established lots, a driveway that has sunk at one corner, a front walk with a lifted square or back steps that have pulled away from the house. I come over from Holland to see each one myself, the same as I do for homeowners in Kentwood and Grand Rapids.
The old concrete usually tells us what went wrong underneath. A slab that sank or tipped was most often laid on dirt that was raked smooth and never packed, so on these lots we start with the base and the slope before any talk of finish.

How we handle a job in Wyoming
We look before we price
I come out to see the job and write the estimate myself, because the slope, the soil and the old concrete all change what the work needs.
What sets price and timing
Size, tear-out, how much base we dig and pack, and the finish set the price, while weather and permits set the date. Your estimate gives your figure.
Permits checked first
We check with the city about permits before we set a date, and we can file the application for you or help you through it.
Our own crew does it
Our own crew does the work with me on site, so the person who looked at your ground is there when the base goes in and the concrete is poured.
- Licensed and insured on every job
- Old concrete hauled away, not buried
- Base dug out and packed firm
- Slope checked so water leaves the house
- Pours timed to avoid midday heat
- Control joints cut on time
- Steel rebar where the slab carries weight
- Curing time explained before we leave
- Yard and drive cleaned up after
What decides how long a slab lasts is the base you won't see, so that's where we spend our time, and it's the last place I'd cut.
What signs mean your Wyoming concrete needs attention?
Freeze and thaw, salt and heavy runoff work on concrete every year here, so these are worth a look each spring, before a small problem spreads under the slab.
- Water pooling on the driveway
- Slab tipping toward the house
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One sidewalk square higher than the next
- Chipping or flaking on the surface
- Gap opening at the garage edge
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Sunken corners on the patio

Questions from Wyoming homeowners
Do I need a city permit for a new drive approach in Wyoming, MI?
Yes. The drive approach sits in the city's right of way, the strip along the street the city controls, and the city's Engineering Department issues the permits for all work there. The work also has to meet the city's construction standards. We check this with the city before we set a date, and we can file the application for you or help you with it.
Who is allowed to pour a sidewalk or curb in Wyoming's right of way?
The city requires that all concrete work in its right of way, such as the public sidewalk, a drive approach or curb and gutter, be done by an approved concrete contractor. It's a fair question to ask anyone you're thinking of hiring, us included, and I'll answer it plainly at the estimate, before any date is set.
How do I find out if my patio or driveway in Wyoming needs a permit?
Please call the city's Building Inspections office at (616) 530-7285 and describe the work, since the right of way permit covers the street side and not your yard. An older city notice said building permits are applied for at City Hall, in person or by mail, so it's worth asking how they take them now. We check this for every job before we schedule it.
What does a new concrete driveway cost in Wyoming, MI?
The price comes down to the driveway's size, how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled away, how much base needs digging and packing, and whether a drive approach in the right of way needs a permit. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete. I'll give you your own figure in a free estimate after I've seen the site.
How long does a new concrete driveway take before I can drive on it?
It's usually a matter of days, and longer than you'll wait to walk on it, because the slab keeps gaining strength while it cures, the slow hardening after the pour. The weather on pour day changes that wait, so I'll give you the dates for your job before we leave. Until then, please keep cars and heavy loads off, even if the surface looks done.
What causes a new concrete driveway to crack, and will mine?
Concrete usually cracks when the ground under it moves or when it shrinks with no planned place to crack, and some fine cracking is normal in any slab. We dig out and pack the base so it doesn't settle, and we cut the control joints on time so cracks follow those lines. I'd rather tell you that honestly than promise a slab that never cracks.
