Concrete Contractors in Cedar Grove, WI

Cedar Grove is a village of about 2,100 people in southern Sheboygan County, and the concrete contractors who work here mostly handle the essentials: replacing worn driveways, pouring patios, fixing front walks and stoops, and laying slabs for garages and sheds. The 2020 census counted 2,101 residents. We do all of that, plus stamped concrete for patios and walks, and repairs for concrete that has cracked or settled.

A village with a long memory

Wikipedia says a post office named Cedar Grove has operated since 1849, and that the name comes from nearby cedar groves. The community first stood on the shore of Lake Michigan and moved inland to its present site when the railway lines came through. Today it is known for Holland Fest, a two-day celebration held in Memorial Park on the last Friday and Saturday of July, and for the full-sized replica windmill in Windmill Park downtown.

For a concrete crew, a long history means a wide spread of house ages. Some homes have walks and steps from many decades ago, while others were built in the last twenty years. We assess the concrete you have instead of assuming its age.

Growth in the 2000s

The village had 1,887 residents and 724 housing units in 2000, then 2,113 residents and 881 housing units in 2010. That is about 22 percent more homes in a single decade. Driveways and patios poured in that stretch are now 15 to 25 years old. That is often when an apron cracks where it meets the street, the panel by the garage sinks a little, or the patio tips slightly toward the house as the base settles.

When the rest of the slab is sound, replacing one or two panels can be enough. When several panels are moving or the surface is flaking across the board, a full replacement on a rebuilt base is the better use of money. We explain which one we would do and why.

Lake weather close by

Cedar Grove is only a short drive from Lake Michigan, and the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary, established in 2021, covers lake waters off the village. Lakeshore weather brings wind, damp springs and plenty of freeze and thaw. Our exterior pours use air-entrained concrete to resist that cycle, a compacted gravel base, and slopes that move water off and away from the slab.

Finishes for a village with a look

With a windmill downtown and Dutch heritage on display every July, some owners like a finish with a bit more character. Stamped patterns such as ashlar slate or cobblestone, or a colored border around a plain patio, can add that without much upkeep beyond resealing. For a front walk or a driveway, a clean broom finish with crisp edges is usually the right choice.
