Fast scheduling
A tight service area means we can usually get out to look at the job within days, not weeks.
Who you are calling
A concrete crew that only works in Douglas County
Solid Ground Omaha pours and repairs concrete across the Omaha metro. We are locally owned, we do not sub the work out to whoever happens to be free that week, and the crew lead who scopes your job is on site for the pour.
We have taken on projects in communities like Dundee and Benson, and on the older housing stock closer to downtown Omaha where matching an existing driveway or walkway takes more care than a brand new pour. Whatever is on your property, we have almost certainly poured something like it before.
Most of our schedule comes from referrals and repeat customers. That only holds up if the concrete holds up, so we would rather tell you a repair is the wrong call than sell you one.

Four steps, in order, no shortcuts
A good pour is a sequence, not a single step. Skipping or rushing any one of these is where most concrete problems start, which is why the base and the cure time matter as much as the pour itself.
STEP 01
Base prep
We excavate to a consistent depth, compact a gravel base in layers, and grade it so water sheds away from the house instead of pooling. This is the step nobody sees once the job is done, and the one that decides whether the concrete holds up.
STEP 02
Forms and reinforcement
Wood forms set the shape and edges, and wire mesh or rebar goes in where the load calls for it. Control joints get planned out now too, so any future cracking follows a straight line instead of a random one.
STEP 03
Pour and finish
Air-entrained concrete gets placed, screeded level and floated flat, then finished with the texture you picked, broom, exposed aggregate, stamped or smooth. Timing the finish work to the weather is what keeps the surface from cracking or dusting later.
STEP 04
Cure and seal
Fresh concrete needs time and moisture to reach full strength, so we protect it while it cures instead of rushing you back onto it. A sealer applied once it has cured helps it stand up to salt and freeze-thaw cycles for years longer.

Service area
Where we work
We stay inside Douglas County and the towns around Omaha on purpose. A tight radius means we can get back out to a job the week you call instead of the month after.
Concrete Contractor in Omaha
Omaha sits on clay and loess soil that swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries out, and that movement is behind most of the sunken walks and cracked driveway panels we get called about. Add in a real freeze-thaw winter and de-icing salt on top of that, and concrete here takes a beating that milder climates never see.
Concrete Contractor in Bellevue
Bellevue is Nebraska's oldest city, and a lot of its older streets sit on bluffs above the Missouri River, which means drainage and slope matter more here than in flatter parts of the metro. We pay close attention to grading on every patio and driveway pour so water moves away from the house instead of pooling against the foundation.
Concrete Contractor in Papillion
Papillion has grown fast over the last two decades, and most of the concrete we see here is newer construction dealing with normal settling rather than decades of accumulated damage. The exception is drainage around patios backing up to retention areas, which is common in the newer developments east of Highway 370.
Concrete Contractor in La Vista
La Vista is a compact, mostly built-out city, so a lot of our calls here are repair and replacement on driveways and walks poured in the 1970s through 1990s rather than new installs. Narrow lots also mean access and staging matter more when we plan a pour.
Concrete Contractor in Gretna
Gretna is one of the fastest-growing parts of the metro, and most of our work here is new driveways, patios and garage floors on freshly graded lots. Getting the compacted base right matters even more on new subdivision soil that has not had time to settle on its own.
Concrete Contractor in Elkhorn
Elkhorn was its own town before Omaha annexed it in 2007, and the area still has that small-town mix of older farmhouses near the river and newer subdivisions built out over the last twenty years. In towns like Elkhorn, no two patios are exactly the same, since lot size and grading vary a lot block to block.
Concrete Contractor in Ralston
Ralston is a small city almost entirely surrounded by Omaha, with a lot of mid-century housing on modest lots. Driveways and garage floors here tend to be older and narrower than newer suburbs, which usually means full replacement makes more sense than a patch once cracking gets bad.
Concrete Contractor in Bennington
Bennington has shifted from a small rural town to one of the faster-growing suburbs north of Omaha, and most of the concrete work we take on here is new construction: driveways, garage floors and patios on newly developed lots.
Concrete Contractor in Millard
Millard was its own city until Omaha annexed it in 1971, and it still feels like a distinct part of the metro with its own school district and identity. Housing here spans several decades, so we see everything from aging 1970s driveways to newer construction near 168th Street.
Concrete Contractor in Springfield
Springfield is a small town on the edge of the metro, closer to the Platte River, and a lot of the properties we work on here have more acreage than you find inside Omaha proper, which usually means longer driveways and bigger concrete footprints per job.
Concrete Contractor in Plattsmouth
Plattsmouth is the Cass County seat, set on bluffs above the Missouri and Platte rivers, and a lot of the older concrete in town has to deal with more slope and drainage challenges than flatter parts of the metro. We have taken on projects in communities like Springfield and Gretna with the same river-bluff grading issues.

Common questions
Questions we get asked in Omaha
Price comes down to square footage, thickness, access for equipment, and whether we are working on a new pour or removing and replacing existing concrete. We measure the job on site and give you a written scope so you can compare bids line for line.
Yes. We come look at the actual site in Omaha and the surrounding area, take measurements, and send a written scope. Nothing gets quoted off a photo alone.
Yes, both. We are locally owned with a tight service area, which is what lets us get out to look at a job quickly and start scheduling sooner than a company juggling a much wider territory.
We work throughout Omaha and the surrounding Nebraska communities, including Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Gretna, Elkhorn, Ralston, Bennington, Millard, Springfield and Plattsmouth.
Spring and fall usually give the most predictable curing conditions, but we pour through summer heat and cooler weather too with the right mix and curing steps. We plan the pour around the forecast rather than rushing it into bad conditions.
