Grandview Concrete From the Postwar Boom

Grandview's housing grew almost all at once, which gives concrete contractors in Grandview a familiar set of jobs. The city had 1,556 residents in 1950, 6,027 in 1960 and 17,456 in 1970, then 24,502 by 1980. It has stayed near that level since, with 26,209 in 2020. Most homes, and the concrete around them, were built in those three decades and are now 45 to 75 years old.

A town on high ground

Grandview was incorporated on February 6, 1912, and named for the view from its elevated town site. It sits at about 1,050 feet along U.S. Route 71 (now I-49), bordering Kansas City to the south. Harry S. Truman lived here for part of his early years. The Truman Farm Home at 12301 Blue Ridge Boulevard, rebuilt in 1894 and 1895 after an 1867 house burned, is where he farmed from 1906 to 1917, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

What postwar concrete looks like now

On Grandview's 1950s and 1960s homes we often find:

One-car or narrow two-car driveways with a cracked or scaled surface
Aprons broken where the drive meets the street
Front walks with sunken or lifted panels
Concrete stoops and steps pulling away from the house
Small patios that slope toward the back door

The usual fix is a full tear-out, a new compacted base and a new slab with control joints at proper spacing. Where only part of a driveway has failed, we can replace sections and match the rest.

Widening older driveways

Many owners want a wider driveway than their 1950s house came with. We check setbacks, the curb opening at the street and any city requirements before we plan added width, and we tie the new concrete to the old so they stay level.

Drainage on high ground

Being on elevated ground does not mean every lot drains well. Ranch homes on slab or crawlspace foundations need water carried away from the house. We set grades so patios and walks shed water toward the yard or street, and we look at where downspouts empty before we pour.

Missouri winters

Exterior concrete here faces repeated freeze-thaw cycles, plowed snow and road salt. Older concrete without air entrainment tends to flake and pit. We pour all exterior work with air-entrained concrete and can recommend a sealer for driveways and walks.

Grandview Questions

Is my 1960s Grandview driveway worth repairing?

If most panels are level and the surface is sound, section repair can work. Widespread scaling or several sunken panels usually mean full replacement on a new base.

Can you widen my narrow driveway?

Usually. We check setbacks and the street opening, then tie the new width into the existing slab so it stays level.

Why is my old concrete flaking?

Older concrete often lacks air entrainment, so freeze-thaw cycles and salt pop the surface. New exterior concrete we pour is air-entrained.

Can you pour a patio for a 1950s ranch in Grandview?

Yes. We size the patio to the back of the house, slope it away from the foundation and match the step height at the door.

How do you handle a driveway apron at the street?

The apron is usually in the public right-of-way, so we check city requirements first, then remove and replace it with the drive so the two meet cleanly.

Do you work on homes near the Truman Farm Home?

Yes. The farm sits in a commercially developed area between Blue Ridge Boulevard and I-49, with homes nearby. We serve residential properties across Grandview, including those blocks, and keep work tidy on busy streets.
