We plan and build driveways, patios, foundations, walls and parking lots for the homeowners and property owners of Junction City and the cities around it.
Junction City comes together downtown at Heritage Park, the central public space that hosts community events and holds the Civil War Arch and the State of Kansas Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Helland Park brings hiking and mountain biking trails inside the city limits, and the C.L. Hoover Opera House is where people come out for live music, youth theater and private events.
Around those places are the homes and businesses we work on. Homeowners call us most, for driveways, patios, walks and steps, along with property owners who need a lot, a foundation or a wall. The city requires anyone doing contracting work in Junction City or Geary County to get a license from the city, so it's fair to ask that of any contractor you're weighing, us included.

Concrete services in Junction City, KS
Junction City Concrete is a concrete contractor in Junction City, KS, and we offer 16 services, from flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks that lie flat on the ground, to foundations, walls and parking lots. Most calls start with a slab that's cracked, sinking or holding water, and the answer is new concrete on a packed base that drains. The price moves with the size and thickness, how much digging and base work the ground needs, whether old concrete comes out, truck access and the finish. The schedule turns on weather, any permit or inspection, and curing, the wait while concrete hardens before you use it. Your written estimate spells out what's included.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack the base and pour new driveways, setting the slope so water runs away from your garage and house.
Concrete patio construction
Want a slab out back for the grill and chairs? We pour patios that feel level but still shed rain away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's fresh, so a patio or walkway looks like stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build sidewalks and front walks for homes and businesses, cutting joints so any cracks follow lines we chose.
Garage floor concrete
We pour new garage floors and replace worn ones, building the base and steel to carry vehicles and sloping the slab toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers stained color, exposed stone and custom borders for homeowners who want a slab that suits the house, not a plain gray pad.
Concrete retaining walls
What holds back a sloped yard? A poured concrete wall on a solid footing, with drainage behind it so water doesn't push it over.
Concrete floor installation
Basements, shops and commercial buildings get a flat, even interior slab from us, poured over a base we prep and pack first.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks need to drain and grip when wet, so we slope ours away from the water and finish them with texture.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour front, back and porch steps with even rises, so every step is the same height and feet don't catch.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is one poured base for a house, garage or shop, with thickened edges and steel set before the pour.
Foundation installation
We build foundations for new homes, additions and commercial buildings from the footings up, setting the forms and steel to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
For businesses, churches and rental properties, we build concrete parking lots on a packed base with drainage planned so water leaves the lot.
Concrete footings
Footings spread the weight of a wall, deck post or foundation into the ground, so we dig and pour them to the plans.
Foundation raising
Is a slab or foundation sinking? We look at why first, then lift it back toward level where raising is the right fix.
Concrete cutting
When a doorway, drain line or damaged section has to come out, we saw-cut the concrete cleanly so the rest of the slab stays sound.
Why people hire us for their concrete
I plan your job and I'm there for the pour
I look over your job myself, and I work alongside our crew on the day it's built. That way the person who measured your slope and checked your drainage is the one making sure it goes in right.
Base, forms and steel checked before the truck
We check the packed base, the forms, the rebar that holds the slab together and the drainage before any concrete arrives. We do it then because none of that can be fixed once it's poured.
A written estimate you can compare with other bids
Your estimate lists exactly what's included, from the base work to the finish. That makes it fair to set beside other bids, and you know what you're paying for before we start.
If that's how you want your concrete done, send us a message or call (785) 530-0068.

Tell us about the concrete job you have in mind
We'll get back to you, then I'll set a time to come out, measure and walk the site with you before anything is written up. There's no obligation to go ahead.
(785) 530-0068Why the base comes before the finish
The subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, is buried on day one, so it's the first thing people want to trim from a budget, and it's the part that decides whether a slab settles and cracks later. If something has to give, I'd rather keep the finish simple and spend the money digging out and packing that base, because a plain slab on solid ground outlasts a fancy one on raked dirt.

Driveways, patios and other concrete work
Common concrete questions in Junction City
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Any slab can crack as it dries and shrinks, so nobody can honestly promise a crack-free driveway. What we control is how much and where. We pack the base so the slab doesn't settle, and we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight line to follow instead of wandering across the slab.
How do I get my yard ready for a concrete driveway or patio pour?
Mostly by clearing the way and telling us what's buried. Move vehicles, grills and planters, and mark sprinkler lines or a pet fence so we can work around them. On pour day, keep pets and kids inside until we're done.
How do you keep water from pooling on a new concrete patio?
We set the slope before we pour, so water runs off the patio and away from your house. At the site visit I look at where water goes now, because a patio that tips toward the house sends rain straight to your foundation.
What finish is best for a concrete driveway in Junction City?
For most driveways, a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives tires and shoes grip when it's wet. Stamped and decorative finishes suit patios and walks well, but they take more labor and cost more than a broom finish.
Does the concrete truck have to drive across my lawn?
Usually not. The truck parks on the street or the drive, and we reach the forms by chute, pump or wheelbarrow depending on the distance. I check gates, overhead wires and the route in at the site visit, so we know before pour day.
How long before I can use my new concrete driveway?
You can walk on a new driveway well before you can drive on it, because it has to cure longer to carry a car. The exact wait depends on the mix and the weather, so we'll tell you when it's ready for each.
How do I take care of new concrete after it's poured?
Keep heavy loads off it early on and off the edges after that, since edges have the least support. Rinse off spills, and ask us whether your finish needs a sealer, because stamped and decorative work usually does.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Junction City, KS?
It depends on the job, so I check with the city or county office on each one rather than guess. Building permits come from the city's Building and Code Enforcement Division, whose list names work like roofs, siding and room additions, so that's the office to ask about your job. When a permit is needed, we pull it before work starts and call in the inspections, since the city charges double the permit fee, up to $500, for a permit taken out after a job has begun.
