Whitted Concrete & Excavation handles concrete work for homeowners and property owners around Springfield, Missouri. Most of what we do falls into two categories: putting in new concrete that has to sit flat and drain right for decades, and fixing concrete that was poured wrong or has simply reached the end of its life. Below is a plain description of the work we take on, and each service has its own page if you want more detail before you call.
Driveways are usually the first thing we get asked about, since they take the most weight and the most weather. Driveway Construction and Repair covers everything from tearing out a cracked, sinking slab and rebuilding the base to pouring a new drive on a lot that has never had one. We look at the subgrade first, because a driveway that fails early almost always failed underneath before it failed on top. The same thinking applies to Sidewalk and Walkway Installation, where the goal is a level, non-tripping surface with joints placed so the inevitable movement happens where you want it, not across the middle of a panel.
Out back, a Concrete Patio Construction project gives you a surface that does not rot, warp, or need staining every other spring. We size and slope patios so water runs away from the house, and we can tie a patio into steps, a walkway, or a grade change. When a yard drops off too sharply to use, Retaining Wall Building is what makes the space flat and usable again. A wall is only as good as its drainage and footing, so we plan for water behind the wall before we set the first course.
For garages, shops, sheds, and equipment pads, Concrete Slab Pouring is straightforward work that still rewards care: proper thickness, reinforcement suited to the load, and a finish that matches how the slab will be used. If you want the concrete to look like more than gray, Decorative Concrete Finishing covers broom, trowel, exposed aggregate, and border treatments. Concrete Stamping and Staining goes further, pressing pattern into fresh concrete and adding color so a patio or walkway reads like stone, brick, or wood plank.
Not every job calls for new concrete. Concrete Crack Repair can extend the life of a slab that is structurally sound but showing surface damage, and we will tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the better use of your money.
