Concrete services available in Ladue
Ladue was formed in 1936, when the villages of Ladue, Deer Creek, and McKnight merged, and it is now a city of about 9,000 residents across more than 8 square miles. Ladue Road, which gave the city its name, was named for Peter Albert LaDue, whose property near Ladue and Warson roads included what is now St. Louis Country Club.

Hardscape Design
Retaining walls, walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and outdoor lighting designed to fit an established property.
Retaining wallsDeer Creek and runoff
Deer Creek runs through Ladue past the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center and flash floods in heavy rain, mainly from runoff off roofs and pavement, so new paving is pitched to shed water onto lawn.
Same footprint, no permit
Ladue does not require a permit to replace a driveway, patio, or walk at the same size and location, but a new or enlarged one, a retaining wall, or a change in grade does.
Outdoor rooms go to the ARB
Ladue’s Architectural Review Board reviews outdoor living areas, raised fireplaces, and driveway monuments, so a hardscape design with those features goes through that board before the permit.
Front-yard wall limits
Ladue zoning caps front-yard retaining walls at 36 inches, set at least six feet from any property line, and requires 20 feet between walls in a yard, so a sloped front yard is terraced to fit.
Why concrete fails here
Established Ladue properties need replacement work that respects what is already there
On an established property, older concrete has often been patched, overlaid, or extended in stages, so the base underneath can change from one section to the next. Pouring new concrete over that mix repeats the problem. Replacement starts with full removal and one consistent compacted base, then a layout that works with existing walls, steps, plantings, and mature trees instead of fighting them.
- 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 Ladue
These are the practical checks that separate a lasting project from a low-bid pour.
Full removal, uniform base
Old overlays and patched sections come out so the new slab sits on one consistent, compacted base from end to end.
Protecting what stays
Stone walls, steps, plantings, and large trees the homeowner wants to keep are protected during removal and built around.
Matching the house
Finishes, borders, and stamped patterns are chosen to suit the home’s architecture and the existing hardscape.
Drive, walk, and court together
Driveways, front walks, and parking courts are planned as one layout so grades, joints, and edges line up.
Project surfaces
Concrete work Midwest Hardscapes plans for Ladue 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 Ladue
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
Ladue concrete questions
Can you replace an old driveway that has been patched many times?
Yes. Patched and overlaid concrete is removed down to the base, the base is rebuilt and compacted evenly, and the new driveway is poured as one planned surface with proper joints.
Can new concrete suit an older Ladue home?
Yes. Broom, stamped, and smooth finishes, colored concrete, and decorative borders can be chosen to fit the home and the rest of the property.
Can a stone wall or front steps stay while the driveway is replaced?
Usually. Features that are staying are identified during the estimate and protected during removal, and the new slab is formed to meet them cleanly.
