Custom Concrete & Truck Service is based in Freeburg and works across Madison County regularly. Whether a homeowner in Edwardsville needs a driveway replaced or a property owner near Collinsville wants a stamped patio poured, we run our own trucks and keep the whole job in-house. No subcontracting the demolition, no waiting on outside haulers. We grade the base, handle the tear-out, and pour the new surface with the same crew, start to finish.
Concrete Work Across Madison County
Madison County sits just north of St. Clair County and covers a wide stretch of the Metro East, from Edwardsville and Collinsville down through Granite City and Troy. The housing stock varies a lot across the county. Older neighborhoods in Collinsville and Granite City have driveways and patios that were poured decades ago. Many of those surfaces have gone through enough Illinois freeze-thaw cycles to develop serious cracking, sinking, or drainage problems. Edwardsville and Glen Carbon have newer development with homeowners looking to upgrade a plain slab to something more finished, like stamped concrete or an exposed aggregate surface.
The soil and drainage conditions in Madison County reward a contractor who pays attention to base prep. Settling and cracking almost always trace back to a poorly compacted base or poor drainage underneath the slab. We grade and prep every base ourselves before the concrete goes in. That step is how we control quality from the ground up, not just the surface you can see.
Madison County also has a strong commercial side, with businesses along the major corridors and industrial properties in Granite City and Pontoon Beach. We handle commercial flatwork there too, including approaches, pads, and ADA-accessible walks, scheduled to keep disruption low.

Our Concrete Coverage in Madison County
We pour driveways, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, garage floors, slabs, and steps across Madison County. For homeowners dealing with a cracked or sinking driveway, we handle the whole job: tear out the old concrete, haul it off with our own trucks, prep and grade the base, then pour the new surface. You don't need to line up a separate demo crew. That's how we keep the schedule tight and the job moving.
For homeowners interested in a pool, we build inground concrete and gunite pools and pour the surrounding deck in the same project. Because we own our excavation equipment, the dig, the pool shell, and the pool deck installation all come from one crew on one timeline. If you want both the pool and the deck handled together, the pool and pool deck package keeps it under one contract with one point of contact.
Stamped and decorative concrete is popular in Madison County, especially for patios and pool decks where homeowners want a finished look without the cost of natural stone. We pour stamped concrete that holds up to Illinois weather and looks clean for years when properly sealed.
Common Questions From Madison County Homeowners
Homeowners in this area ask similar things before they hire a concrete contractor. The most common one: "Do I have to hire someone to take out the old driveway first?" No. We run our own dump trucks, so tear-out and haul-away are part of the job, not something you arrange separately.
Another question we hear often: "Why did my old driveway crack and sink so fast?" In most cases it's a base problem. If the subgrade wasn't compacted correctly or water wasn't draining away from the slab, the concrete works loose over time. We address that at the base before we pour, which is the step that determines how long the surface actually lasts.
