Concrete Contractors in Englewood, OH

Englewood went from a small village to a suburb in a single generation, and most requests we get as concrete contractors in Englewood are for driveways and patios poured during that change. The city had 1,515 residents in 1960, 7,885 in 1970 and 11,329 in 1980. It counted 13,463 in 2020, with 5,963 housing units across about 6.6 square miles of Montgomery County.

On the Stillwater

Englewood was founded on May 6, 1841 as Harrisburg, on the Stillwater River. Early settlers floated grain and bacon downriver on flatboats to Dayton and as far as New Orleans. The village was incorporated in 1914 and became a city in 1971. Today the city borders Clayton, Union and Butler Township, and the river still runs along its edge.

Lots that drop toward the river valley tend to be wetter than those on the flat ground above. On those properties we pay extra attention to where downspouts empty and whether the soil under an old slab has stayed soft. Wet subgrade is the most common reason we find for patios and walks that have sunk.

Concrete from the growth years

With most of the city built between the 1960s and 1980s, Englewood driveways are typically 40 to 60 years old. Common signs it is time:

• wide cracks that let grass and weeds grow through
• a step or lip where the driveway meets the garage
• a cracked apron and broken edges along the lawn
• surface flaking from road salt

Patios from that era tend to be small slabs or sometimes a few squares of old patio block. Replacing one gives you a chance to rethink size and shape, add a stamped or colored finish, or run a walk around to the driveway.

Doing it right in a cold climate

Englewood sits at about 958 feet, and Miami Valley winters bring plenty of freeze and thaw. We use air-entrained concrete for all outdoor work, place it on a compacted stone base, and cut joints at the right depth and spacing. We also cure each slab properly and recommend a penetrating sealer after it has cured to help it stand up to salt.
