Apex Concrete

Concrete contractor in Cedarville, OH

Cedarville is limestone country — the dolomite that carved the Massie Creek gorge often sits a shovel's depth under a front yard, which changes how a slab has to be built.

Apex Concrete pours across Greene County and gives you a fixed written price after measuring the actual space in Cedarville — not a guess over the phone.

When the dig hits bedrock

Soil cover over the bedrock is thin in places here, and that flips the usual order of work. Instead of digging to a chosen depth, the excavation goes down to a competent surface and the section is built up from there, with base stone thickness making grade rather than the hole getting deeper. Rock also has to be cleaned of loose spall before stone goes in, because a slab bearing partly on solid rock and partly on soft pockets cracks along that transition every time. The upside is real: once the base is right, a concrete driveway in Cedarville bearing on rock does not settle. Aggregate is quarried close by, one of the few genuine advantages of working this ground.

Village homes and term-time timing

The village population swings with the university's terms, and the practical effect on residential work is timing — parking pressure, street traffic and tolerance for noise near campus are different things in July than in October, so a disruptive tear-out is planned around that. The housing is a mix of older village homes on narrow lots and newer builds toward the edges, and the requests follow: replacing a cracked front walk, pouring a patio behind a bungalow, a garage or shed slab, steps rebuilt where a stoop has settled. Anything touching a village street or public walk is cleared with Cedarville first, and property outside the corporation limits falls to Greene County.
