Concrete Contractors in Marshall, WI

Marshall grew up on the banks of the Maunesha River in eastern Dane County, and its best-known feature is still the mill pond and dam built to power the village feed mill. Homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Marshall live in a village of 3,787 people at the 2020 census, with 1,500 housing units counted in 2010. Some of those homes sit near the river or the pond, and that water is the first thing we think about when we plan a driveway, patio or walk here.

A long and unusual history

Settlement began in June 1837, when Andrew Bird, Zenas Bird and Aaron Petrie arrived. A fire destroyed the original settlement in the fall of 1838, and for more than a decade the place was known as Bird's Ruins. It became Hanchettville in 1849, then Howard City, and was renamed for Samuel Marshall in 1861. The grist mill built in 1852 became Marshall's Roller Mill, the Blaschka family bought it in 1908, and it marked 150 years of continuous operation in 2002. The village incorporated on January 24, 1905, with 467 people.

Near the river and the pond

Lots close to the Maunesha and the mill pond tend to have wetter ground. That affects how a slab should be built:

• We dig out soft soil and lay a thicker, well-compacted gravel base
• We set grade so water runs away from the house and is not trapped against the foundation
• We avoid pouring on saturated soil after spring thaw or heavy rain
• We recommend sealing exterior concrete to slow water and salt soaking in

Near the water, some projects may also fall under shoreland or floodplain rules. We check what applies before we design anything close to the river or the pond.

Growth since 1990

Marshall had 2,329 residents in 1990 and 3,432 in 2000, a big jump in a decade, then reached 3,862 in 2010. Housing units rose from 1,312 in 2000 to 1,500 in 2010. Concrete poured during that growth has now been through twenty to thirty winters, which is when driveway aprons crack, panels near the garage settle and patios start to tip. We can replace just the failed sections when the rest is sound, or recommend a full replacement when the base has given out.

Pads, sheds and outdoor space

Marshall has Riley-Deppe County Park, Fireman's Park and Lion's Park, and the mill pond supports water sports and recreation. If you keep a boat, kayaks or a trailer, we pour parking pads and shed slabs sized for that gear, with a thickness and base suited to the weight, and patios big enough to enjoy a summer evening near the water.
