Apex Concrete

Concrete contractor in Sharonville, OH

Sharonville straddles the Mill Creek valley, where a back yard near the creek and one a few streets uphill can sit on completely different ground and need completely different bases.

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

Two kinds of ground in one city

The Mill Creek valley is filled with a great depth of old sand and gravel layered with till and clay, so it is not uniform ground the whole way down. Close to the creek that shows up as variable near-surface material and a water table that answers quickly to rain; back from it, the soil behaves like the low-permeability clay of the surrounding uplands. Both can appear on one property. Land along the creek is mapped floodplain, so a new patio slab or pad there raises an elevation question before it raises a mix question, and it gets checked against current mapping rather than against whatever a neighbour poured. The base detail is settled once the hole is open.

Subdivision drives and city approvals

Most residential work in Sharonville is replacement rather than new: mid-century subdivision driveways breaking up along the joints, aprons settled away from the street, front walks that have heaved, patios tipping back toward the house. Add garage and shed slabs, steps and stoops, and stamped or broom-finished patios where a homeowner wants the back yard usable again. Permits and inspections run through Sharonville itself rather than the county, and anything meeting a public apron or sidewalk is right-of-way work with its own sign-off. Where a drive sits close to the creek, the drainage for it is worked out before the forms go down rather than after the first heavy rain.
