Concrete Contractors in Monticello, LA

Monticello is a settled neighborhood, and concrete contractors in Monticello are usually called to replace driveways and walks that have worn out. The census-designated place counted 4,710 people in 1990 and 5,431 in 2020, with 1,670 housing units at the 2000 census. Its 2.39 square miles are densely built, at more than 2,200 people per square mile in 2020. We replace driveways, walks and steps, pour new patios and decorative concrete, and build slabs for sheds and garages.

Where it sits

Monticello lies in east-central East Baton Rouge Parish at about 49 feet. Greenwell Springs Road, Louisiana Highway 37, forms its northern border; Baton Rouge wraps around it to the west and south, and Central borders it to the northeast. Downtown Baton Rouge is 9 miles west. The community is unincorporated, so permits such as driveway culverts go through the City-Parish Department of Development.

What we find on Monticello lots

Homes on small, closely spaced lots give concrete less room to work with, and decades of rain on parish clay leave their mark:

• Driveways cracked into many pieces, often with one panel sunk near the street
• Front stoops that have settled an inch or two below the door threshold
• Walks that slope the wrong way and send water toward the house
• Carport slabs stained and cracked by years of runoff

On tight lots, forming and pouring takes careful planning so the work stays on your property and does not damage a neighbor's drive or fence. We protect edges, plan where the truck can reach, and pump concrete if needed.

Replacing steps and stoops

A stoop that has sunk below the door threshold is a trip hazard and a path for water into the house. We remove the old stoop, set a footing that reaches firm soil and pour new steps with even risers sized to your door height. Where the steps meet the house slab, we use an isolation joint so movement in one does not crack the other.

Driveways on narrow lots

On the narrower Monticello lots, the driveway often runs right along the property line. Replacing one cleanly takes care at the edges so the neighbor's grass, fence or drive is not disturbed. We saw-cut where the old slab meets anything that is staying, form tight to the line, and finish the edge so it does not shed water onto the next lot.

Small patios that add a lot

Backyards here are modest, so a patio does not need to be large to make a difference. A simple slab outside the back door, sloped slightly away from the house, adds a dry place to sit and keeps mud out of the house. We often pour these at the same time as a driveway or walk to keep mobilization simple.
