Concrete Contractors in Edgerton, WI

Edgerton is a small city on the line between Rock and Dane counties, and homeowners who call concrete contractors in Edgerton usually want a practical job done well: a driveway that no longer floods the garage, a patio that has stopped tipping, or steps that are safe again. Of the 5,945 people counted in 2020, 5,799 lived in the Rock County part of the city and 146 in Dane County. The city had 2,587 housing units at that census.

Built on tobacco

Edgerton was known as Tobacco City U.S.A. because of the area's tobacco growing, and at one point the city had as many as 52 tobacco warehouses. On the older blocks near downtown we often find detached garages, alley approaches and front walks that have been patched many times over. Around the edges of town and on rural parcels nearby, pole sheds and old farm outbuildings often need a new slab or a concrete apron to get equipment in and out.

When we replace concrete on these older properties, we look at what is under it. Old walks were sometimes poured right on topsoil, which holds water and heaves in winter. We dig that out and replace it with a compacted gravel base before we pour.

Life near Lake Koshkonong

The city is within a five-minute drive of Lake Koshkonong, the third-largest lake in Wisconsin. The lake is shallow and fed by the Rock River. For homes and cottages in the lake area, wet soil and high groundwater are a fact of life. Patios and walks there need:

• A deeper, well-drained base so the slab rides out spring thaw
• Grade that sends water away from the house and toward the yard
• A textured finish for safer footing when surfaces are wet
• A sealer to slow water and salt from soaking in

Some lakeshore lots also fall under county shoreland rules. We check before we design anything close to the water.

Driveways that drain

The most common Edgerton driveway problem we see is water: a slab that has settled toward the garage, a low apron that holds puddles, or a crack that lets meltwater under the concrete and then freezes. Fixing the symptom with patch material rarely lasts. The real fix is to remove the failed panels, correct the base and the slope, and pour new air-entrained concrete with control joints placed where they will do their job.

Outbuildings and work slabs

We pour a good number of outbuilding slabs here. A shed floor, a garage for a project car, or a pad for a tractor all need different thicknesses and reinforcement. Tell us what the slab will carry, and we will plan the base, edges and joints to match. We can add a thickened perimeter for walls and an apron so the door opening does not wash out.
