Concrete work for lived-in homesbuilt by a Dodge City crew
Ridgeline Dodge City Concrete is a concrete contractor in Dodge City, and I started it in 2021 after years of pouring slabs and footings on bare lots for new houses. I wanted to work on homes people already live in, with kids, dogs, gardens and old concrete to work around.
We're best known for new work that meets what's already there, like steps tied into an old slab, and we also pour lots, walks and floors for small business owners. You can read more about me and our crew.

Concrete work we dofor Dodge City homes and businesses
New driveways meet your garage and street cleanly, and we work with care for the lawn and plantings along the edges.
A patio slab gives you a flat, easy place for a grill and chairs, sloped so rain runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's fresh, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick.
Front walks and paths to the back gate get poured even, so nobody catches a toe where one section meets the next.
Your garage floor carries the car, the tools and the odd oil drip, so we pour it level and thick enough for the load.
Color, exposed stone or a scored pattern can dress up plain gray concrete and help new work match the house around it.
A concrete retaining wall holds a slope back so you get flat, usable yard, and we give the water behind it a way out.
Shops, basements, barns and storefronts get interior slabs poured flat, so shelving, equipment and flooring sit right on top.
Pool decks get a textured finish so wet feet grip, and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool and the house.
We build new steps that tie into the slab or porch you already have, with even rises that feel right underfoot.
Slab foundations for additions, garages and shops go down on a packed subgrade, the dirt the whole slab rests on.
From footings to walls, we build full foundations for new homes and additions, the kind of work I started out on.
Small business owners call us for parking lots that drain, carry daily traffic and give customers an even place to walk in.
Footings are the wide concrete base under a wall, post or addition, set below ground with rebar, steel that holds cracks tight.
When a slab or foundation has sunk, lifting it back toward level can spare you a tear-out, and we'll tell you when it won't.
Need a doorway through a wall or a trench across a slab? Clean saw cuts keep the rest of the concrete in one piece.
Many jobs mix these, like a driveway, walk and steps that tie in. Size, base work and finish move the price, the weather moves the schedule, and your written estimate spells out what's covered.
How a job runsfrom your first call to cleanup

I walk the spot with you
I come out, walk the spot with you and ask how it gets used and where the water runs, then write a free estimate showing what's in and what isn't.
Permits, planning and the pour
Once you say yes, we check with the city or county on permits, pull one when it's needed or tell you who files it, and plan the pour around the weather.
Cleanup and a walkthrough
We keep you posted until the wooden forms are off and the cleanup's done, then walk the finished job with you so you see the joints and where the water runs.

Why Dodge City calls usfor concrete that fits the house
We talk through the job plainly, including what concrete can and can't promise, and I'd rather you ask hard questions of us and any other crew you call.
Work planned around your household
Kids, dogs, gardens and old concrete all shape the plan, so we settle where trucks park, what gets protected and how you'll get in and out before we start.
The one who bids it helps build it
I look at your job myself and work right alongside our crew on pour day, so what we talked about in your yard is what gets built.
A packed base before a fancy finish
Nobody sees the base, so it's the first thing crews cut to save money. We dig it out and pack it, because a slab settles with the dirt under it.
Joints you see before we pour
Concrete cracks some, so I show you where we'll cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to go, instead of pretending it won't happen.
Curing and care from day one
We walk you through curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength, so you know when it's ready for feet, then tires, and how to care for it.
Bids you can line up side by side
Your estimate lists what's included and what isn't, so you can compare it fairly with other bids. Ask for yours at (620) 390-0780.

Questions we hear most
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Dodge City?
There's no single price, because the size, removing old concrete, how much dirt comes out for the base and the finish you pick all move it, so your number comes from an on-site estimate. Stamped or colored finishes cost more than plain gray, and tight access adds labor. Our concrete driveway building page goes into more detail.
Is it cheaper to raise a sunken concrete slab than replace it?
Raising a sunken slab usually costs less than replacing it when the concrete itself is sound, but a slab that's broken up or sitting on washed-out dirt is often better torn out. I'll tell you which I'd pick for yours at the estimate, and our foundation raising page has more on lifting.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, and we tell you when yours is ready for each, since the wait depends on the mix and the weather. Tear-out, base work and the pour take longer on a big driveway than a small patio, so plan to park on the street for a stretch.
Is Ridgeline Dodge City Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. In Dodge City, contractor licensing and renewals are handled by the City's Development Services Department, so that's the office for license questions about any crew you're weighing.
Can you match new concrete to my old driveway or steps?
We can get close in height, edges and texture, though fresh concrete looks lighter than weathered concrete at first. We tie the new pour into the old where it makes sense and line up the joints, so the seam looks planned instead of patched.
Do you guarantee a new concrete slab won't crack?
No one can honestly promise concrete won't crack, so we cut control joints where cracks should land, and our promise is satisfaction guaranteed on every job. A packed base and joints cut on time usually keep cracks small and in straight lines.
Is stamped concrete as durable as plain concrete?
Stamped concrete is the same concrete underneath, so it holds up as well when the base and pour are done right, but the colored surface usually needs resealing now and then to keep its look. A plain broom finish, a lightly brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, needs less upkeep and costs less.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Dodge City?
Ask the city first, since the same office that handles contractor licenses also issues building permits and is where to start on what your job calls for. For driveways, the City's engineering permitting page shows driveway examples, and we check before we start, as our steps above lay out.
