Concrete for a Fast-Growing Leavenworth County Town

Basehor has grown quickly, and most of the work concrete contractors in Basehor do is on homes built in the last 25 years. The town had 2,238 residents in 2000, 4,613 in 2010 and 6,896 in 2020, making it the third-largest city in Leavenworth County. New subdivisions bring builder-grade driveways and small patios, and many owners want to expand them once they settle in.

A farm town from 1889

Basehor was founded in 1889 by brothers Reuben and Ephraim Basehor, of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, as a farming community, and the town site was dedicated on November 30 of that year. It was not incorporated until 1965. A 1906 schoolhouse at 155th Street and Leavenworth Road once held both the high school and grade school, and the library building Reuben Basehor funded was moved to the city park in 2016. The farm-town roots still show in the larger lots and acreages around the edges of town.

Turning a builder pad into a patio

Many new Basehor homes come with a small concrete pad outside the back door. Our most common job here is extending it into a full patio. We:

Drill and dowel into the existing slab so the new section stays level with it
Match the broom finish and direction as closely as we can
Continue the existing joint pattern so the patio looks planned, not patched
Slope the new section away from the house

A stamped border or stamped field can also tie old and new concrete together when an exact color match is not possible.

Wider driveways and parking pads

The other frequent request is more driveway: an extra lane for a third car, a pad for a trailer or a side approach to a backyard gate. We check setbacks, HOA rules and any city permit before we draw the layout, and we tie the addition to the existing drive so the two do not drift apart.

Acreages and shops

Around Basehor, many properties have room for a detached shop or equipment shed. Those slabs need more than a patio does: a thicker section where vehicles will park, a well-compacted base, and joints placed to control cracking across a wide floor. We size the slab to the heaviest thing it will hold.

Weather and new-subdivision soils

New lots are often graded with fill, and fill that was not compacted well can settle under new concrete. We check the ground before we pour, remove soft spots and compact the base. All exterior concrete gets an air-entrained mix to handle freeze-thaw cycles.

Basehor Questions

Can you extend the small patio my builder poured?

Yes. We dowel into the existing slab, match the finish as closely as we can and continue the joint pattern.

Will new concrete match my existing driveway color?

New concrete is lighter at first and weathers over time. Where a close match matters, a stamped or colored border can make the transition look intentional.

How thick should a shop floor be?

It depends on the vehicles and equipment it will carry. We size thickness, base and reinforcing at the estimate.

Do I need HOA approval for a patio extension in Basehor?

Many newer subdivisions have homes associations with rules on patios and driveways. We review your HOA's guidelines and give you a drawing to submit if needed.

Can you pour on a lot with fill soil?

Yes, after checking it. We remove soft spots and compact the base so the slab does not settle where fill was placed.

How soon after moving in should I extend my patio?

Any time once the lot has settled. Many owners wait a year or two to see how they use the yard and where water flows after storms. That makes it easier to size the patio and set its slope correctly.
