Concrete in Gardner and Edgerton, where the subdivisions are still going in
Gardner added 12 percent to its population in five years. A lot of the concrete there is new, which means the questions are about pads, patios, widening and getting the first driveway right.
Gardner had 23,349 people in April 2020 and 26,154 by the Census Bureau's July 2025 estimate, up 12 percent in five years, with 67.6 percent of homes owner-occupied at a median value of $306,200. The growth is in the subdivisions along 175th Street, Moonlight Road, Gardner Road and Center Street, where the houses are new and the first driveway is still white. Edgerton, next door, has the BNSF intermodal and Logistics Park on one side and a small old town on the other. Between the two, the concrete work is different from Overland Park's: fewer replacements, more first-time patios, RV and trailer pads, shop slabs on the acreage lots out toward the county line, and driveway widening for the third car.
New concrete here deserves the same care as old. Production driveways in new subdivisions are the ones we replace twenty years later in Olathe, and the faults are the same: thin, unjointed, on uncompacted backfill at the garage. When we pour a patio, a pad or a widening next to one, we build the base, use air-entrained concrete, cut the joints the same day and seal before winter, so it outlasts the driveway it sits beside. Gardner's downtown streets around Main and Elm have the older concrete, heaved walks and settled stoops that the rest of the county knows. Approaches and public sidewalks in both cities are city right-of-way and go through each city's permit, and the newer subdivisions have HOAs that want to see a pad or a widening first.

Questions from Gardner & Edgerton homeowners
Our driveway is new. Why would we need you?
Most people in Gardner call us for what the builder didn't pour: a patio, a trailer pad, a wider drive, a walk to the back gate. We also seal new driveways before their first winter, which the builder rarely does.
Can we park a camper on a pad beside the house?
Often, subject to the city's rules and your HOA's. We check both before we lay out a pad, and we pour it six inches thick for the jacks.
Do you pour shop slabs on acreage?
Yes, out to the county line: frost footings for a building, turned-down edges for a shed, and the base built over the clay first.
Do you serve Edgerton?
Yes, Edgerton, the Logistics Park area and the lots along Sunflower Road.
