Frankfort Concrete Done With Care

Frankfort homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Frankfort often want more than a gray slab. Many homes here are larger, newer houses, and backyard patios, stamped finishes and wide driveways are common projects. The village had 7,180 residents in 1990, 10,391 in 2000 and 17,782 in 2010, a 71 percent jump in one decade. The 2020 census counted 20,296 people and 6,902 housing units across about 15.8 square miles.

Larger lots, larger slabs

Frankfort has about 437 housing units per square mile, a lower density than many nearby suburbs. Bigger lots mean bigger patios and longer drives, and bigger slabs need more thought: joint layout so cracks land in the right places, reinforcement suited to the size and grading that moves a large area of water off the slab. On a stamped patio, joint lines also need to fall within the pattern so they do not look out of place.

Stamped and decorative concrete

Stamped concrete is popular in Frankfort for patios, pool surrounds and front walks. Common patterns are ashlar slate, random stone and wood plank, with an integral base color and a release color for depth. We seal stamped work after it cures, and we recommend resealing every few years because sealer protects both the color and the surface from salt and freeze-thaw.

The historic downtown

Frankfort was incorporated in 1879, and its historic downtown includes the Frankfort Grainery, Breidert Green and part of the Old Plank Road Trail, a 22-mile paved recreation trail. Homes near downtown are older, and walks and steps there call for simple finishes that suit the houses.

Higher ground

Frankfort sits at about 735 feet, higher than Joliet's river valley. Higher ground does not mean dry ground: clay soils still hold water and still heave with frost. We prepare a compacted stone base under every slab and use air-entrained mixes to resist freeze-thaw damage.

Frankfort Questions

How long does stamped concrete last in Frankfort winters?

Stamped concrete poured on a good base with an air-entrained mix holds up well. The key is sealing it after it cures and resealing every few years to protect the color and surface.

Is stamped concrete slippery?

Sealed stamped concrete can be slick when wet. We can add a slip-resistant additive to the sealer for patios and pool decks.

Can you match a new patio to my existing stamped walk?

We can come close with pattern and color, but new and weathered concrete never match exactly. We bring samples to the estimate so you can see the options.
