Concrete work in Lebanon, the county seat with a historic main street and new streets behind it

Lebanon is two towns: a well-kept nineteenth-century downtown with the old walks and steps that go with it, and a ring of newer subdivisions with patios and driveways. We do both, with the same base and mix.

Lebanon is the Warren County seat, north of Mason up Route 42, with one of the better-preserved small-town main streets in the state and a grid of older houses around it. Those houses have the walks, stoops and steps of their age, and the public sidewalks in front of them are the City's to inspect and the owner's to maintain. Beyond the old grid, Lebanon has grown the way Mason and West Chester did, with subdivisions from the 1990s onward where the work is patios, driveways, garage floors and the first round of replacements.

People in Lebanon search for custom concrete more than most places, and what they usually mean is a patio or walk with a specific look: a stamped pattern that suits an older house, exposed aggregate, a border, a color that works with brick. We'll bring samples and pour a test if the job is big enough. The structure under the look is the same as anywhere: a base that drains, 4 inches air-entrained, joints cut right, sealed the first fall.

Lebanon is a city with its own building department and engineering rules for its streets; the township edges toward Turtlecreek and Union fall under Warren County, and Route 42 and Route 48 are ODOT's. We confirm which office before pricing.

Asked in Lebanon

What does custom concrete mean on a price?

The finish by name: pattern, colors, border, texture and sealer, each a line. Custom is the look; the slab under it is standard.

Can you match an old brick house with a stamped walk?

A cobble or running-bond brick pattern in a warm color does it well, and it's one slab rather than loose pavers. We bring samples.

Who maintains the sidewalk in front of my downtown house?

The owner, as in most Ohio cities, with the City able to issue notices. We price by panel when one arrives.

Do you work on the county roads outside Lebanon?

Yes. Aprons on county roads go through Warren County's engineer rather than the City; we sort out which before quoting.
