Concrete for Millard's Subdivisions
Millard was laid out in 1870 by Ezra Millard and named for him. It incorporated as a town in 1885 and stayed independent until Omaha annexed it in 1971, after lengthy legal fights. Today people looking for concrete contractors in Millard live in one of the largest residential areas of southwest Omaha, roughly from 108th Street to around 180th, and from Blondo Street south to Harrison Street, centered on 144th and L.
A big area with a lot of driveways
Wikipedia lists about 42,305 housing units in the Millard area and an estimated 110,480 residents in 2019. That is a lot of flatwork, much of it poured as the subdivisions filled in after annexation. Concrete from those decades has now been through many Nebraska winters, and the problems are familiar: scaled surfaces where salt sat on the driveway, cracked aprons at the street, sunken panels by the garage and patios that have tilted toward the house.
We look at each slab to decide whether a partial or full replacement makes more sense. If most panels are sound and only a few have dropped or cracked, we replace those. If scaling and cracking run across the whole driveway, or water is getting under it, a full tear-out with a new compacted base is the better investment.
City rules since 1971
Because Millard is part of Omaha, City of Omaha rules apply to work here. That includes the city's approach to public sidewalks: state law and city ordinance make the adjacent property owner responsible for the public walk, and city inspectors mark hazardous panels after complaints and send repair notices. If you have one, send us a photo and we will price the panels and schedule them before your deadline.
Schools stayed separate
When Omaha annexed Millard, the state legislature and the courts also tried to fold Millard's schools into Omaha Public Schools, but Millard Public Schools remained independent. For homeowners, the practical effect is a strong neighborhood identity and a lot of families who stay put and invest in their houses. Patios, wider driveways for teen drivers and new walks to the backyard are frequent requests.
Patios and outdoor space
Many Millard backyards have an original small patio off the back door. Expanding that slab or replacing it with a larger stamped patio is one of our most common projects here. We tie new concrete to old where it makes sense, or remove the original slab and pour one continuous patio with joints planned around the pattern. If you are adding a hot tub, pergola or fire pit, we plan the thickness and footings in advance.

Millard Questions
Does Millard follow Omaha's rules for concrete work?
Yes. Millard has been part of Omaha since 1971, so City of Omaha rules apply, including the owner's responsibility for the public sidewalk.
Can you expand my small original patio?
Yes. We can add onto a sound existing slab or remove it and pour one larger patio, plain or stamped, sized to your yard.
Should I replace a few driveway panels or the whole driveway?
If only a few panels have cracked or dropped, replacing those can work. If scaling and cracking cover the whole slab, a full replacement with a new base lasts longer.
Can you widen my Millard driveway for an extra car?
Yes. We can pour a side extension next to a sound driveway or replace the whole driveway at a new width, within your HOA's rules.
