Concrete Contractors in Mission Hills, KS

Mission Hills has some of the largest and most carefully designed homes in the Kansas City area, and concrete contractors in Mission Hills are usually working next to stone, brick and mature landscaping that cannot be replaced. We plan each job around protecting what is already there, then pour flatwork that suits the house.

A planned district from 1914

The Mission Hills Home Company was founded on August 18, 1914, and J.C. Nichols began developing the area in the 1920s as part of his Country Club District. Many early houses were designed by Clarence E. Shepherd, Edward Tanner and Edward Buehler Delk. The city was incorporated in 1949, has about 3,594 residents, and its eastern edge is the state line at State Line Road. The Verona columns and reflecting pool at Ensley Lane, Mission Drive and Overhill Road, conceived by landscape architect S. Herbert Hare in 1924, appear on the city seal.

Right-of-way permits and bonds

The City of Mission Hills says a right-of-way permit is required for anyone who wants to work in the city's right-of-way, applied for through its online permitting system. A performance and maintenance bond must be attached: either a $5,000 bond held for the permit term plus two years, or an annually renewable $50,000 bond. Driveway approaches and walks near the street usually fall in that zone. We take care of the permit and bond before work starts.

Protecting the property during demolition

Tearing out an old driveway or terrace next to a stone wall, a mature tree or a planted bed takes care. We plan the route for equipment, protect lawns and walks with boards or mats where needed, and remove concrete in sections rather than breaking it all at once. Where old concrete meets stone steps or brick edging, we saw-cut a clean line so the new work joins without damaging the original.

Finishes that suit the house

A plain gray slab rarely matches a Tudor or Colonial Revival home. Depending on the house, we may suggest:

• A broom or light sand finish with a border that frames the drive
• Exposed aggregate that picks up the color of nearby stone
• Stamped and colored terraces that echo flagstone or slate
• Integral color in a soft tone that does not look new

We bring samples to the estimate and can match an existing border or band when part of a drive is being replaced.

Slopes, Brush Creek and drainage

Brush Creek flows through the northern part of the city, and many lots roll toward it. Large paved surfaces on sloped lots move a lot of water. We grade driveways and terraces to carry water to the street or an existing drain, and we watch for low spots where water could sit against a foundation or freeze on a walk.
