Concrete for a Historic Railroad Village

Mazomanie is a small village in western Dane County that owes its existence to the railroad. The Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad arrived in 1855, linking Milwaukee with La Crosse, and the village depot built in 1857 still stands much as it was. Homeowners searching for concrete contractors in Mazomanie live among a lot of history: the village has thirty-four commercial buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and Budget Travel named it one of America's Coolest Small Towns in 2008.

Working around history

In a village where so much of the old building stock survives, new concrete should look like it belongs. On older properties we:

Keep front walks and steps in proportion to the house
Use a clean broom finish and tooled edges instead of busy patterns at the front
Match the joint spacing and texture of nearby sections that are staying
Take care around old stone or brick foundations when removing failed stoops

If your property has a historic designation or you are working on a commercial building downtown, tell us early and we will plan around any review the work needs.

A small village with steady growth

Mazomanie had 1,377 residents in 1990, 1,485 in 2000, 1,652 in 2010 and 1,768 in 2020, and housing units rose from 618 in 2000 to 734 in 2010. That slow, steady growth means most of our work here is replacement on established homes, plus some additions on newer ones: patios, wider driveways and walks to the back yard.

Low ground

At about 745 feet, Mazomanie sits well below Madison's 873 feet. During the August 2018 flooding, Wisconsin's governor planned to visit a Red Cross shelter set up at Mazomanie Elementary School while Dane County dealt with flooding. Low ground and heavy rain make drainage the first priority for any slab here. We set grades so water moves away from foundations, build thicker compacted bases where the soil stays wet, and keep downspouts from dumping onto new concrete.

Winter wear on old concrete

Much of the older concrete in small Wisconsin villages was poured before air entrainment was common, and decades of freeze-thaw show in scaled surfaces, pitted walks and crumbling step edges. Every exterior pour we do in Mazomanie uses air-entrained concrete on a compacted gravel base, with control joints at the right spacing and a proper cure. We recommend a penetrating sealer and sand rather than rock salt during the first winter.

Mazomanie Questions

Can you replace steps on an old house without it looking new and out of place?

Yes. We size the steps to the house, use a simple broom finish with tooled edges and match nearby concrete as closely as possible.

How do you handle drainage on low ground?

We set the grade so water moves away from the foundation, build a thicker compacted base and plan where downspouts discharge.

Do you work on commercial buildings downtown?

We pour sidewalks, steps and slabs for small commercial properties too. Tell us if the building has a historic designation so we can plan for any review.

How do you get concrete into a tight back yard?

When a truck cannot reach the forms, we move concrete with power buggies or a pump and protect the lawn along the route. We plan access during the estimate so the pour day goes smoothly.

Do I need a permit for a new patio in Mazomanie?

Rules can vary with the size and location of the patio and any historic designation on the property. We confirm what applies with the village before we schedule the work.
