Concrete services in Seymour, IN
Seymour Concrete is the concrete contractor homes and businesses in Seymour, IN call when a slab is cracked, sinking or holding water, or when it's time for something new. Since 2017 we've offered 16 kinds of work, from flatwork like driveways, patios, walks and floors to footings, foundations and walls. The price moves most with the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work your ground needs and any finish beyond a plain broom texture. The schedule turns on the weather and on any permit your city or county needs first. Your written estimate spells out what's included, and you can read how I got started.
Concrete driveway building
We tear out the old driveway, dig out and pack a firm base, and pour a new one sloped so water runs away from your garage.
Concrete patio construction
Want a spot out back for the grill and a table? We build concrete patios pitched so rain drains off and away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is a regular pour pressed with patterned mats and colored while it's still soft, so a patio or walk looks like stone, brick or slate.
Concrete sidewalk building
When a front walk has heaved or broken into trip hazards, we replace it with an even concrete sidewalk and cut joints where cracks should go.
Garage floor concrete
We pour new garage floors and replace cracked or sunken ones, over a packed base with steel inside to carry cars, tools and storage.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stains, exposed stone and custom borders, for homeowners and businesses who want an entry, patio or walk that looks finished instead of plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Is your yard sliding toward the driveway or the neighbor's? We build poured concrete retaining walls on solid footings to hold back soil and level out a slope.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for basements, shops, barns and commercial spaces, finished smooth or textured depending on whether the floor stays bare or gets covered.
Concrete pool decks
We build concrete pool decks with a textured surface that grips wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and the house.
Concrete steps construction
Crumbling front steps are a fall waiting to happen. We form and pour new concrete steps with even risers and a finish that grips in wet weather.
Slab foundation building
For a new house, addition, garage or shed, we form and pour the slab foundation the building sits on, over ground we've dug out and packed first.
Foundation installation
We build poured concrete foundations, with their footings and walls, for new homes and additions, working from your builder's or designer's plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Business owners call us for concrete parking lots that carry daily traffic, with thick slabs, steel reinforcement and grading that keeps water from standing on the lot.
Concrete footings
Footings are the wide concrete base buried under a wall, porch, deck post or addition, and we dig and pour them below the frost line so they stay put.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has settled and cracked, we lift it back toward level and fill the gap underneath so it has solid support again.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway opened, a trench cut for a line or a damaged section removed? We saw-cut concrete cleanly and leave the rest of the slab intact.

Seymour homes, yards and driveways
Seymour is a Jackson County city with older homes close to downtown and newer neighborhoods farther out, so the driveways, walks and slabs here come in every age and condition. It's a town with history worth a visit, from the Freeman Army Airfield Museum, across from the terminal at Freeman Municipal Airport with WWII aircraft engines and a Link Trainer flight simulator, to the Seymour Museum Center, where tours of the building can be arranged.
Shields Park adds 13 acres of park and playlot, and downtown has a historic district with its own review board, so changes to a property there can need its approval before work starts. We're based here in Seymour and work across the cities around it, so the cracked driveways, sinking walks and new patios we see around town are the same calls we answer nearby.

About usFrom your first call to the final walkthrough
Call or send the form
When you call or send the form, we get back to you within one business day. I'll ask a few questions about the job, like what's there now and what you'd like instead, and then we set a time for me to come out and look at it with you.
Walk the site together
I walk the site with you, look at the ground, the slope and where the water runs, and talk through your options and what each one means for the job. Then I send a written estimate that says what's included. It's free, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Form, pour and finish
Once you say go, I'm on site with our crew of experienced finishers from forming to finishing. We dig out and pack the base, set the forms and steel, pour and finish the surface, then cut control joints, the shallow grooves that give cracks a straight place to go.
Walk the finished job
When the work's done, we clean up and walk the finished job together before we leave. I'll go over how long to stay off it while it cures and how to treat it that first winter, and answer anything else you want to ask.

Common questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Seymour, IN?
Your price comes from a written estimate after I see the site, because size, tear-out, base work and finish change it more than anything else. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and extra thickness or steel for heavy trucks adds to it.
Why are concrete quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Quotes usually differ because of what's under and inside the slab, the base, the mix, the thickness and the joints, none of which you can see once it's poured. If a budget has to give, I'd rather cut a fancy finish than the base, because a nice surface on a soft base still settles and cracks. Ask every contractor to put those details in writing.
How long will I be without my driveway after a new pour?
You're usually off a new driveway longer than the pour itself takes, because the concrete has to cure, which is the wait while it hardens enough to carry weight. You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and cool weather slows things down. I'll tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for tires.
Is Seymour Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. It's worth asking any contractor the same question before they start, and you can read more about us and how we work.
How do you prepare the ground before pouring concrete?
We dig out the soft soil and pack a firm subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before any concrete arrives, because a slab is only as steady as what's under it. Raking dirt level and pouring over it is the most common shortcut, and it's why so many old driveways sink. We also check where the water runs so the new slab falls away from the house.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." The way we back that up is by having the owner on site through the pour and walking the finished job with you before we leave.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?
Most concrete gets a few hairline cracks over the years, but a packed base, steel and well-placed control joints keep them small and where we planned them. Rebar, the steel bars inside the slab, holds the pieces together if a crack opens. We also avoid pouring in midday heat when we can, since a top that dries too fast turns weak and dusty.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Seymour, IN?
It depends on the job, so the Building Commissioner, who provides the city's permit forms, is the one to ask, since the city requires a permit before building or repairing any building or structure. An application usually needs a sketch of the lot lines and plans of the work, and fees are paid to the Clerk-Treasurer. That's the check we make before scheduling.
