Concrete Driveway Replacement in Silver Lake, KS
Topeka Concrete Pros replaces concrete driveways and flatwork in Silver Lake, Kansas, a Shawnee County town on the north bank of the Kaw. We are a licensed and insured concrete contractor. We tear out and repour driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and garage slabs throughout the town.
Silver Lake sits low in the river valley. The old ferry crossing here was called the Great Crossing, and the ground that made it a crossing is bottomland clay. That clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. It lifts a slab in a wet spring and drops it in a dry August. Older driveways in town show that movement as cracked panels and slabs that no longer sit flush.
We replace those slabs instead of patching them. The old concrete comes out and gets hauled off. We compact the subgrade and build a crushed-stone base that drains and holds its shape through the wet and dry swings. The new pour is 4000 PSI air-entrained concrete, reinforced with mesh or rebar, cut with control joints every ten feet or so, and sloped to send water off the surface rather than under it.
Silver Lake jobs range from driveway replacement to patio replacement and sidewalk and walkway replacement. Call (785) 555-0172 for a free estimate in Silver Lake.
