Concrete Contractors in Plymouth, WI

Plymouth sits about 15 minutes west of Sheboygan along the Mullet River, and people looking for concrete contractors in Plymouth usually want one of the same handful of jobs: a driveway that has cracked through, a back patio, new front steps, or a slab for a garage or shed. The city had 8,932 residents at the 2020 census and 4,251 housing units. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, sidewalks and steps, and garage and shed slabs, and we repair or replace concrete that has failed.

A city with deep roots

Plymouth was surveyed in 1835, settled in 1845 by Isaac Thorp and others, and incorporated in 1877. Wikipedia says the historic downtown walking tour covers more than 50 significant homes, businesses and buildings, two of them on the National Register of Historic Places. Older houses near downtown often have long, narrow drives, stoops that have shifted and walks that have been patched more than once.

On these lots, the goal is not just new concrete but concrete that suits the house. We keep walks at a sensible width, choose a finish that fits the street, and tie new steps cleanly to the existing foundation and porch.

Higher ground, cold winters

Plymouth sits at about 843 feet, noticeably higher than the lakeshore cities, and it is far enough inland that the lake's moderating effect is weaker. For concrete that means a full winter of freeze and thaw. We use air-entrained concrete on all outside work, build on a compacted gravel base and slope every surface so melting snow drains off instead of soaking in. We also advise owners to skip rock salt on the first winter's concrete and use sand for traction instead.

Steady growth on the edges

Population rose from 7,781 in 2000 to 8,445 in 2010 and 8,932 in 2020, and the census counted about 210 more housing units in 2020 than in 2010. Newer homes on the edge of town often come with a basic driveway and no patio at all. That is where we do much of our patio and stamped concrete work: laying out a shape that suits the back door and the yard, picking a pattern and color, and sealing it once it cures.

A working town

Plymouth advertises itself as the Cheese Capital of the World, and Wikipedia lists four cheese processors in the city: Sargento, Masters Gallery, Sartori and Great Lakes Cheese. Antoinette, the 20-foot cow statue, has stood since 1977. A lot of people here work shifts, drive trucks or keep trailers and equipment at home, so we size driveway thickness and base for real loads, and we can pour aprons and parking pads that hold up to them.

Permits

We check with the City of Plymouth about permits for driveway approaches, public walks and new slabs before we schedule. Private patios and walks may have different rules, and we put what applies on your estimate. Call (920) 635-2280 to set up a visit.
