Concrete Driveway Replacement in Des Peres
Your driveway is one of the largest and most visible exterior features of your home.
Cracking, settlement, surface deterioration, drainage problems, and years of Missouri weather can eventually reach the point where replacement makes more sense than continuing to repair aging concrete.
Hoffman provides complete driveway tear-out and replacement.
Our process can include:
- Existing concrete demolition and removal
- Excavation and grading
- Subgrade evaluation and preparation
- Compacted aggregate base when required
- Proper concrete thickness for the application
- Reinforcement as specified
- Drainage considerations
- Thoughtful control-joint layout
- Professional concrete placement and finishing
- Careful jobsite cleanup
A driveway should look great when we’re finished.
But what happens underneath the concrete is just as important.
Quality concrete starts with quality preparation.
Custom & Large Residential Driveways
Larger residential properties can involve much more than replacing one rectangular driveway.
Your project may include:
Curved Driveways • Additional Parking • Walkways • Steps • Decorative Borders • Retaining Walls • Drainage Improvements
Hoffman can evaluate the complete area and discuss how these different elements should work together.
The goal is a finished project that looks like it belongs with your home—not a collection of unrelated improvements.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways in Des Peres
For homeowners looking for something more distinctive than standard broom-finished concrete, exposed aggregate is an excellent option.
Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stone within the concrete surface, creating a natural appearance that works especially well with:
Brick Homes • Stonework • Mature Landscaping • Decorative Borders • Retaining Walls
It can also be incorporated into sidewalks, walkways, patio areas, and entryways to create a consistent decorative appearance throughout your property.
Stamped Concrete Patios in Des Peres
Your backyard can become an extension of your home.
Hoffman Concrete installs custom stamped concrete patios ranging from individual patio projects to complete outdoor-living spaces.
Your project can incorporate:
- Stamped Concrete
- Decorative Borders
- Sitting Walls
- Fire Pits
- Retaining Walls
- Steps & Walkways
- Low-Voltage Lighting
- Water Features
Instead of installing one feature at a time, talk with Hoffman about the entire vision for your backyard.
Complete Outdoor Living
Imagine stepping outside onto a custom stamped patio surrounded by established landscaping.
A sitting wall defines the entertainment area.
A custom fire pit provides a gathering place for family and friends.
Low-voltage lighting highlights the patio, steps, walls, walkways, and landscaping after sunset.
A water feature adds movement and the relaxing sound of flowing water.
That’s more than another concrete slab.
That’s creating an outdoor extension of your home.
Retaining Walls in Des Peres
Retaining walls can provide both function and architectural character.
They can help manage grade changes, support driveways and patios, create more usable space, and complement the landscaping around your home.
Hoffman provides retaining wall installation and replacement for:
- Driveways
- Patios
- Sloped yards
- Landscape areas
- Walkways and steps
- Outdoor-living areas
- Sitting areas
What’s Behind the Wall Matters
A retaining wall shouldn’t be judged only by what you see from the front.
Depending on the project, proper installation may involve:
Excavation • Compacted Base • Drainage Stone • Drainage Pipe • Proper Backfill • Compaction • Reinforcement or Geogrid When Required
Water trapped behind a wall can create substantial pressure.
That’s why drainage should be part of the construction plan from the beginning.
Concrete Steps, Porches & Walkways
Hoffman also installs and replaces:
Concrete Steps • Porch Caps • Front Walkways • Sidewalks • Entry Areas
These features can be coordinated with driveway replacement to create consistent elevations, transitions, and finishes throughout the front of the property.
For many established homes, replacing several deteriorated areas together can create a much more dramatic improvement than replacing one isolated section.
Drainage & Grading
Drainage is an important consideration during any major exterior renovation.
Replacing or expanding concrete can change how water moves across a property.
Driveways, patios, retaining walls, walkways, downspouts, and surrounding grades all need to work together.
Hoffman evaluates existing elevations and drainage considerations during project planning.
Beautiful concrete still needs to function properly.
Respecting Your Property
Des Peres properties may include mature trees, established landscaping, irrigation, lighting, stonework, and finished outdoor areas.
Concrete construction requires demolition, excavation, heavy equipment, material movement, and concrete placement.
Access and jobsite planning matter.
Hoffman considers the surrounding property when planning the work.
We’re not simply working on concrete. We’re working at your home.
Built for St. Louis Weather
Exterior concrete in Des Peres must withstand:
Hot Summers • Heavy Rain • Freezing Temperatures • Snow & Ice • Repeated Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Long-term performance involves much more than producing an attractive finish.
Base preparation, drainage, concrete placement, finishing, control joints, curing, and maintenance all contribute to how concrete performs.
Control Joints Matter
Concrete naturally shrinks and moves.
Control joints create planned locations for that movement and help reduce uncontrolled random cracking.
Joint spacing, depth, layout, and timing are all important.
During extremely hot St. Louis summer conditions, joint timing can become particularly important because fresh concrete may lose moisture rapidly.
Hoffman evaluates project and weather conditions when determining the appropriate jointing method.
Protect Your Concrete Investment
A new driveway, decorative patio, or outdoor-living space represents a significant investment in your property.
Routine maintenance can help protect that investment.
Ask Hoffman about:
- Concrete Cleaning
- Concrete Sealing
- Joint Maintenance
- Crack Maintenance
- Decorative Concrete Care
- Seasonal Concrete Maintenance
Preparing exterior concrete before another Missouri winter can be an important part of protecting your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Des Peres?

An on-site estimate is the best way to establish accurate pricing.

Yes. Hoffman has the crews and in-house equipment to handle substantial residential driveway replacement projects.
Do you install exposed aggregate driveways?
Yes. Exposed aggregate is an excellent option for homeowners looking for a decorative alternative to standard broom-finished concrete.
Can you widen my existing driveway?
Potentially, yes.
Driveway widening and additional parking areas depend on property conditions and applicable local requirements.
We can evaluate those options during your estimate.
