Concrete Driveway Replacement in Ladue
A driveway is one of the largest and most visible exterior features of your property.
On a beautiful Ladue home, the driveway shouldn’t look like an afterthought.
Hoffman Concrete provides complete driveway replacement, including:
- Existing concrete removal
- Excavation and grading
- Subgrade evaluation and preparation
- Compacted aggregate base when required
- Proper concrete thickness for the application
- Reinforcement as specified
- Drainage considerations
- Proper control-joint layout
- Professional concrete placement and finishing
- Careful jobsite cleanup
We believe quality concrete starts before the concrete truck ever arrives.
What goes underneath your driveway matters.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways in Ladue
For homeowners looking for a more distinctive appearance, exposed aggregate concrete can be an excellent alternative to traditional broom-finished concrete.
The natural stone appearance works beautifully with many Ladue homes and landscapes.
Exposed aggregate can be incorporated into:
Driveways • Walkways • Sidewalks • Patio Areas • Decorative Borders
Our goal is to create concrete that complements the architecture and character of your property.
Custom Driveways & Decorative Details
Large residential properties deserve thoughtful planning.
Curves, borders, approaches, walkways, steps, landscaping, drainage, and transitions between different surfaces all affect the finished appearance.
Hoffman can evaluate the complete area rather than looking at your driveway as an isolated slab of concrete.
Stamped Concrete Patios in Ladue
Your outdoor space can become a natural extension of your home.
Hoffman Concrete installs custom stamped concrete patios ranging from intimate backyard spaces to larger outdoor entertainment areas.
Your patio can be combined with:
- Decorative Borders
- Retaining Walls
- Sitting Walls
- Fire Pits
- Steps & Walkways
- Low-Voltage Lighting
- Water Features
The result can be much more than a new patio.
It can become a complete outdoor-living environment.
Create an Outdoor Living Space
Imagine walking out your back door onto a custom decorative patio designed around your home and landscape.
A sitting wall defines the entertainment area.
A fire pit creates a gathering place for family and friends.
Low-voltage lighting highlights steps, walls, landscaping, and walkways after sunset.
A water feature adds movement and the relaxing sound of flowing water.
These features can be planned together so the finished project feels intentional rather than like several unrelated additions.
One property. One design. One coordinated project.
Retaining Walls in Ladue
Retaining walls can provide both structural function and architectural interest.
They’re often used to manage elevation changes, support driveways and patios, improve usable yard space, and create multi-level outdoor areas.
Hoffman provides retaining wall installation and replacement for:
- Driveways
- Patios
- Landscape areas
- Sloped properties
- Outdoor-living spaces
- Walkways and steps
- Sitting areas
What’s Behind the Wall Is Critical
A retaining wall should never be judged only by what you can see.
Depending on the project, proper construction may require careful attention to:
Excavation • Base Preparation • Drainage Stone • Drainage Pipe • Backfill • Compaction • Reinforcement or Geogrid When Required
Water management is particularly important.
A beautiful retaining wall isn’t successful if poor drainage causes problems behind it.
Drainage & Grading Matter
Drainage should be considered before concrete and hardscape construction begins.
Changing a driveway, patio, retaining wall, or other paved area can affect how water moves across a property.
That’s why Hoffman evaluates grading and drainage conditions as part of planning the project.
The objective isn’t simply to make the project look good on completion day.
We want the entire property to function properly.
Concrete Steps, Porches & Walkways
Hoffman also installs and replaces:
Concrete Steps • Porches • Sidewalks • Walkways • Entry Areas
These features can be coordinated with your driveway or outdoor-living project so elevations, finishes, borders, and transitions work together.
Respecting Your Property
Ladue properties often include mature landscaping, established trees, irrigation systems, stonework, finished outdoor spaces, and other features that need to be considered during construction.
Concrete work requires heavy equipment and significant material movement.
Planning access and maintaining an organized jobsite are important parts of a professionally managed project.
We respect the fact that we’re working at your home.
Built for St. Louis Weather
Missouri weather isn’t easy on exterior concrete.
Our area experiences:
Hot Summers • Heavy Rain • Freezing Temperatures • Snow & Ice • Repeated Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Long-term concrete performance depends on more than achieving an attractive finish.
Base preparation, drainage, concrete placement, finishing, jointing, curing, and maintenance all contribute to the performance of your concrete.
Control Joints Matter
Concrete naturally shrinks and moves.
Proper control joints create planned locations for that movement and help reduce uncontrolled random cracking.
Joint spacing, layout, depth, and timing are all important.
Hot St. Louis summer conditions can make timing particularly critical because fresh concrete can lose moisture rapidly.
Hoffman evaluates the conditions of the project and determines the appropriate jointing method for each pour.
Permits, Drainage & Project Planning
Certain concrete and retaining-wall projects may require municipal permits, site plans, engineering, drainage information, or other approvals.
Requirements can depend on the project’s size, location, grading, drainage impact, and wall height.
Hoffman can discuss these considerations during the planning process so they can be addressed before construction begins.
Protect Your Concrete Investment
Your driveway, patio, or outdoor-living project represents a substantial investment in your property.
Proper maintenance can help preserve its appearance and performance.
Ask Hoffman about:
- Concrete Cleaning
- Concrete Sealing
- Joint Maintenance
- Crack Maintenance
- Decorative Concrete Care
Preparing exterior concrete for Missouri’s winter conditions is an important part of long-term ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Ladue?
Every property is different.
Pricing depends on square footage, concrete thickness, demolition, accessibility, excavation, grading, base preparation, reinforcement, drainage, finish selection, decorative details, and other site conditions.
An on-site evaluation provides a much better estimate than a generic square-foot price.
Does Ladue require permits for concrete work?
Permit requirements depend on the type and scope of work.
Driveways, retaining walls, grading changes, stormwater considerations, and other improvements may require plans or municipal approval.
We recommend determining the applicable requirements during project planning rather than waiting until construction is ready to begin.
Do you install exposed aggregate driveways?
Yes. Exposed aggregate is one of our options for homeowners who want a more decorative appearance than traditional broom-finished concrete.
Do you install stamped concrete patios?
Yes. Hoffman installs stamped patios and can combine them with retaining walls, sitting walls, fire pits, lighting, steps, walkways, and water features.
Do you build retaining walls?
Yes. We provide retaining wall installation and replacement and can coordinate retaining walls with concrete, grading, drainage, driveways, and outdoor-living projects.
Can Hoffman handle a large residential project?
Yes. Our combination of experienced crews, concrete knowledge, hardscape capabilities, and in-house equipment allows us to take on substantial residential projects involving multiple phases and features.
Does concrete crack?
Concrete can crack.
Proper preparation, placement, control joints, curing, drainage, and reinforcement where specified help manage concrete’s natural shrinkage and movement.
We believe homeowners deserve realistic expectations rather than promises that concrete will never crack.
