Treynor Concrete, Town Lots and Acreages
Treynor sits in Pottawattamie County east of Council Bluffs, and the people calling concrete contractors in Treynor tend to have one of two jobs in mind. In town, it is a driveway, patio, front walk or garage floor. Out in the country, it is a shop floor, machine shed slab or apron. Settlement began here in the late 1880s, the post office opened in the early 1890s and the town incorporated in 1905. The 2020 census counted 1,032 residents in 394 households, up from 919 in 2010.
Upland farm country
Treynor sits at about 1,240 feet, on rolling farmland well above the Missouri bottoms around Council Bluffs. The area east of Middle Silver Creek was once known for its wolves. The soils across this part of western Iowa are fine, wind-laid silts that hold up when dry but soften and erode when water runs through them. We plan every slab around water: where the roof and the yard drain, how the slab is pitched, and whether a curb or swale is needed to keep runoff from undercutting the edge.
The road to Council Bluffs
Before the post office opened, local German immigrant farmers called the settlement Four Corners or High Five, and it was later named Treynor after a recently deceased Council Bluffs postmaster. The town's link to Council Bluffs grew with the road. After the Great Depression closed the Treynor State Bank, improvements followed on the Short-line Road from Treynor to Council Bluffs, which is now Iowa Highway 92. Today that road makes Treynor an easy commute and a regular stop for us.
Farm and acreage slabs
The 2020 census classed all of Treynor's residents as rural, and the land around town is mostly farms and acreages. Slabs on those properties work hard. Machine shed floors carry tractors and loaded trucks, and aprons take the turning and braking of every vehicle that comes through the door. We size thickness and reinforcement for the actual use, thicken edges where walls bear on the slab and plan floor drains or radiant heat before the pour.
In-town work
Treynor's town lots have a mix of older homes and newer houses. Common requests include:
- Driveway replacement and widening for extra vehicles
- Patios off the back of the house, plain or stamped
- Front walks and steps with even risers
- Garage floors replaced after cracking and settling
- Sidewalk panels lifted by frost or roots
A school town
The Treynor Community School District serves the town and the surrounding area, so weekday traffic follows the school schedule. We plan concrete deliveries around busy times when we can and keep trucks off fresh lawns. Call (531) 217-5944 to set up an estimate.

Treynor Questions
Do you serve Treynor and rural Pottawattamie County?
Yes. Treynor and the farms and acreages around it are part of our Iowa service area along with Council Bluffs.
How thick should a machine shed floor be?
It depends on the heaviest equipment it will carry. We size thickness and reinforcement to your use and thicken the apron where vehicles turn.
Can you widen my driveway in town?
Yes. We can add width beside an existing sound driveway or replace the whole slab if the old concrete is failing.
Why do concrete edges crumble along my Treynor driveway?
Usually water and soil loss. When runoff flows along the edge of a slab, it washes away the silt underneath and the unsupported edge breaks off. Backfilling, regrading and sometimes a thickened edge fix it.
Can you pour a pad for a grain bin or fuel tank?
Yes. We follow the supplier's size and anchoring requirements and pour on a compacted base.
