Apex Concrete

Concrete contractor in Troy, OH

Concrete work in Troy changes with the ground under the house: outwash gravel along the Great Miami drains freely, while the clay till east of town holds water against a slab.

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

Gravel river terraces and clay uplands

Homes on Troy's valley floor sit on glacial outwash — sand and gravel that drains fast and carries a driveway slab well once it is compacted. The catch is uniformity: an old side channel or a pocket of river silt can hide inside otherwise clean gravel and only show itself when the excavation is open. Out east on the till the soil is silty clay that holds water instead of shedding it, so a concrete driveway in Troy on that side of town wants a deeper stone base and a plain answer for where roof and yard runoff goes. Driveways, front walks, garage slabs and patios all get built to whichever of those two profiles the test hole actually shows.

Older streets, narrow lots, city aprons

Much of the housing near the Public Square dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s, on narrow lots where the drive runs tight along the house and the alley is the only way in. That decides method before it decides price: forms placed by hand, spoil hauled out rather than stockpiled, and sometimes a pump instead of a chute. The postwar streets north and west are wider, with attached garages and original aprons now at the end of their service life, which is the usual reason for a concrete replacement in Troy. Any drive meeting a city street crosses the right-of-way, so the apron permit is pulled with the city before forms are set.
