Custom Concrete & Truck Service runs out of Freeburg, right on the St. Clair County side of the Metro East. Monroe County is part of our regular service area, covering communities from Columbia and Waterloo down through the bluffs toward the river. We bring the same crew and equipment we use in our own backyard, our own trucks for hauling, our own excavation gear, and one point of contact from the first estimate through the last pour.
Concrete Work Across Monroe County
Monroe County sits south of St. Clair County along the Mississippi bluffs, with a mix of rural properties, river towns, and expanding residential areas. The soil and drainage conditions here shift depending on where you are. Properties closer to the bluffs can deal with runoff and settling that puts real stress on concrete. Flat lots near the river lowlands often hold water longer after rain, which accelerates freeze-thaw damage on driveways and patios.
That's why base prep matters more here than people expect. Most cracked or sunken concrete traces back to a poor base or drainage that was never addressed when the original slab went down. We grade and compact the base properly on every job, set the right thickness, and use reinforcement matched to the load. That's not an upsell. It's how you get a driveway or patio that doesn't need replacing in eight years.
We work on both residential and commercial projects throughout Monroe County. On the residential side, that's mostly driveway replacements, patios, sidewalks, and the occasional inground pool build with a poured deck. On the commercial side, we handle flatwork like pads, approaches, and ADA walkways for small businesses and light industrial properties. Because we run our own dump trucks, we don't wait on outside haulers to get a job moving or wrapped up.

Our Concrete Coverage in Monroe County
We pour driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, slabs and pads, steps, and decorative stamped surfaces. When a project involves tearing out old concrete first, we handle that in-house. We break up the existing slab, load it onto our own trucks, haul it away, and prep the base before the new pour. You don't need to find a separate demo company or coordinate a third-party hauler. One crew handles it start to finish.
The inground pool side of the business is worth mentioning here too. We build concrete and gunite pools and pour the deck surrounding them. Because we own the excavation equipment and the concrete operation, the dig, the pool shell, and the surrounding deck all move on one schedule. That's different from hiring a pool company that subcontracts the deck to someone else.
For Monroe County homeowners dealing with aging driveways, settling patios, or a backyard that's been waiting on a pool for a few years, we're set up to handle it without the coordination headaches that come with juggling multiple contractors.
Common Questions From Monroe County Homeowners
Homeowners across Monroe County ask us similar questions before they hire. How much does a new driveway cost? The honest answer is that it depends on size, whether there's old concrete to remove first, what finish you want, and what the base looks like. We give free on-site estimates so you get a real number, not a range pulled from a website.
Another common one: will the new concrete crack like the old stuff did? If the base wasn't prepped properly the first time, yes, it probably will again. That's why we don't skip that step. We grade, compact, set the right thickness and reinforcement, and pour on a base that's actually ready for it. We'll walk you through what we find when we look at your site so you understand what we're doing and why.
People also ask about timing. Spring and summer fill up fast, so if you're planning a driveway replacement or a pool build, the earlier you call to get on the schedule, the better. We do pour in cooler months with the right mix and curing approach, but the schedule is tightest from April through September.
