Concrete Driveway Replacement in Tecumseh, KS
Topeka Concrete Pros replaces concrete driveways and flatwork in Tecumseh, Kansas, a Shawnee County community just east of Topeka along the Kaw. We are a licensed and insured concrete contractor. We tear out and repour driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and garage slabs for homes across the area.
Tecumseh was the first county seat of Shawnee County, and its oldest streets sit close to the river between Tecumseh Creek and Stinson Creek. That puts a lot of homes here on river-bottom clay. The clay takes on water, swells, and heaves a slab up. Then it dries, shrinks, and drops it. Driveways caught in that cycle crack across the middle and settle at the edges.
We take the old slab out rather than lift it. Lifting a driveway back up leaves it on the same soft ground it sank into. Replacement rebuilds the ground first. We compact the subgrade, lay a crushed-stone base that drains and stays put, and pour four inches of 4000 PSI air-entrained concrete over it, more where a truck parks. Mesh or rebar keeps it tight, control joints steer the cracking, and a quarter-inch-per-foot slope sheds the water.
Tecumseh work runs from driveway replacement to tear-out and haul-away and garage and shop floor slabs. Call (785) 555-0172 for a free estimate in Tecumseh.
