Concrete services available in Des Peres
Des Peres takes its name from the River des Peres watershed, and two of its tributaries, Deer Creek and Two Mile Creek, flow through the city. The area began as farmland settled largely by German immigrants and is now a city of about 9,200 residents, with West County Center and the Edward Jones headquarters among its landmarks.

Curb replacement
Hardscape Design
Retaining walls, walkways, ponds and water features, and outdoor living upgrades that work with how water moves across the yard.
Retaining wallsTwo watersheds in one city
Parts of Des Peres sit in the Deer Creek watershed and others in the Sugar Creek watershed, so slab pitch is set from how each lot actually drains, not from the street next door.
Groundwater on some streets
Des Peres city staff have flagged streets where groundwater constantly seeps onto the pavement, so a slab in a wet spot needs a base that drains, not just surface pitch.
Shared entrances on Manchester Road
Des Peres zoning pushes businesses on Manchester Road to share entrances and cut down on curb cuts, so redoing a lot entrance there can mean moving or combining a curb cut, not just repouring it.
Retaining wall drains
Des Peres requires retaining wall drain pipes to end at least 10 feet from every property line, with footing and geogrid inspections, so a wall plan starts with where its water will exit.
Why concrete fails here
Creek drainage and where runoff goes come first on Des Peres concrete
With Deer Creek and Two Mile Creek running through town, it matters where a property sends its water. A new driveway or patio changes how rain leaves the yard, so the pitch is set to carry runoff toward the street or a safe drainage path, not toward the foundation or the lot next door. Under the slab, a compacted base keeps soil that stays damp after heavy rain from settling and cracking the new concrete.
- Full removal and excavation to stable soil when replacement is the right call.
- Proper compacted base rock to reduce settling and cracking.
- Reinforcement options selected for long-term durability in Midwest weather.
- Grading that moves water away from structures and finished surfaces.
Site checks
What Midwest Hardscapes checks before starting a project in Des Peres
These are the practical checks that separate a lasting project from a low-bid pour.
Runoff mapped first
We look at where water enters the property, where it leaves, and how the new slab can avoid sending more of it toward the house or the neighbors.
Base for wet periods
Full removal and compacted base rock keep the slab supported when the soil underneath stays damp after a storm.
Patios that shed water
Patios are pitched away from doors and foundations and laid out so downspouts do not empty onto the slab.
Manchester Road businesses
Curb, apron, and walk replacement for businesses along Manchester Road is staged around customer access and traffic.
Project surfaces
Concrete work Midwest Hardscapes plans for Des Peres properties
Every surface gets its own plan for base, joints, drainage, and finish.
Cost and value
The long-term cost comparison
Low-bid installation: less expensive upfront, but shallow base work, poor grading, and weak reinforcement can force early repairs or full replacement.
Built-to-last installation: proper base preparation, reinforcement, consistent thickness, and drainage planning cost more to do correctly, but protect the surface for decades.
Our goal is simple: build concrete and hardscapes that enhance curb appeal, handle St. Louis weather, and avoid the shortcuts that create failures five to ten years later.
Installation process
A cleaner way to replace concrete in Des Peres
Assess
Inspect the failed surface, drainage, access, use, and whether repair or replacement is the honest recommendation.
Remove
Take out failed concrete and expose the conditions that caused the original cracking, heaving, or settling.
Prepare
Build the compacted base, set forms, plan slope, and place reinforcement before concrete arrives.
Pour
Install consistent concrete thickness, finish the surface, cut clean control joints, and manage site cleanup.
Protect
Review curing, sealing, traffic timing, and maintenance so the new surface gets the best start.
FAQs
Des Peres concrete questions
Why does drainage matter so much for Des Peres driveways and patios?
Deer Creek and Two Mile Creek both flow through Des Peres. Concrete pitched the wrong way can push runoff toward a foundation or a neighboring lot, so drainage is planned before anything is poured.
Can a new patio fix water that pools by the back door?
Often, yes. Replacing the patio lets the slab be pitched away from the house, and nearby steps or walks can be reworked so water has a clear path off the surface.
Do you work on commercial properties along Manchester Road?
Yes. Commercial concrete, curb replacement, and parking-lot curb repair are available for Des Peres businesses, with the work staged around access.
