Concrete Contractors in Elkhorn, NE

Homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Elkhorn usually fall into two groups. Some own houses in the subdivisions that grew up around the old town in the 1990s and 2000s, where the original driveways and patios are wearing out. Others are rebuilding. On April 26, 2024, a low-end EF4 tornado with estimated winds of 170 mph struck Elkhorn and damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses. Many of those properties have needed new driveways, walks, steps and garage floors as part of the repair.

Concrete after storm damage

A tornado damages concrete in ways that are easy to miss. Heavy equipment used for debris removal can crack driveways and aprons. Falling trees and walls can break steps and walks. A garage slab can be fine on top but undermined where a foundation was dug out and backfilled. When we look at a storm-damaged property, we separate concrete that is truly sound from concrete that only looks sound, and we put that in writing so it can go to an insurance adjuster or a builder.

If your house is being rebuilt, we coordinate with your general contractor on timing. Flatwork usually goes in near the end of the job, after the heavy trucks are gone, so new concrete is not cracked by the last delivery.

Subdivisions that joined the town, then joined Omaha

Elkhorn grew by annexing subdivisions. Rogers Ridge, Ramblewood, Quail Ridge and Skyline Oaks came in during 1996, and Greenbrier, Arbor Ridge and Fair Meadows in 2001. Then on March 1, 2007, Elkhorn ceased to be an independent municipality after Omaha's annexation was upheld. For homeowners, that means permits and right-of-way rules in Elkhorn now follow the City of Omaha. We handle that process the same way we do anywhere in Omaha.

Driveways from the 1990s and 2000s

Concrete poured in those annexed subdivisions has now been through 20 or more Nebraska winters. Typical problems include surface scaling where de-icing salt sat on the driveway, cracked aprons where plows and cars meet the street, and sunken panels near the garage. Depending on what we find, we may recommend replacing only the failed panels or the full driveway with a new base. We show you the difference in cost before you decide.

A river name and river soils

Elkhorn takes its name from the Elkhorn River, which runs about 290 miles from the eastern Sandhills to the Platte. Lots on the lower ground toward the river and its tributaries can hold water after heavy rain. We set patios and walks so they drain toward the yard or street, never toward the basement.
