Concrete Driveway and Flatwork Replacement in College Hill, Wichita, KS
Wichita Concrete Pros replaces concrete driveways and flatwork in the College Hill neighborhood of Wichita, Kansas, in Sedgwick County. We are a licensed and insured concrete contractor. We tear out and repour driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and garage slabs for the older homes on the bluff east of downtown.
College Hill grew as an early streetcar suburb, and its brick streets are lined with homes built between the 1880s and the 1920s. The driveways and walks here are old, and they show the two things that age concrete in Wichita. The surface scales and flakes where road salt and freeze-thaw got into slabs poured before air-entrained mixes were standard. The big canopy trees that make the neighborhood have pushed roots under the flatwork and heaved whole panels out of line.
We replace those slabs rather than grind or patch them. The old concrete is broken out and hauled off, and roots under the slab are cut back so they cannot lift the new pour. We compact the subgrade and lay a crushed-stone base that drains and stays stable through the clay's wet and dry swings. On top we pour 4000 PSI air-entrained concrete, reinforced with mesh or rebar and saw-cut with control joints every ten feet or so, pitched to shed water away from the house.
