Concrete that survives Edwardsville winters.
Edwardsville is home base for Threshold Builders - our crew lives here, our trucks are parked here, and more of our projects go in within a few miles of downtown than anywhere else. Concrete here lives or dies by freeze-thaw: a wet 40-degree afternoon followed by a 15-degree night, over and over from December to March. Every patio we pour in Edwardsville gets compacted base, an air-entrained mix, control joints cut where the slab wants to crack, and a penetrating sealer - the four things that separate a 20-year patio from a 5-year one.
We pour across all of Edwardsville - century-old homes in Leclaire and Grandview, lake lots around Dunlap Lake, and newer subdivisions off Governors’ Parkway and Route 157. Stamped ashlar slate and wood-plank textures in warm tan and buff tones are the most requested finishes, usually colored to pick up the home's brick or siding.
The most common Edwardsville pour we quote is a 300-400 sq ft stamped patio with a border band - often with a fire pit pad or grill pad worked into the same pour.
