Concrete driveway building
We dig out and pack the base before we pour your driveway, then cut control joints, grooves that give shrinking concrete a planned place to crack.

Concrete services for homes and businesses in Toledo, OH
Monolith Toledo Concrete is a concrete contractor in Toledo, OH, offering 16 services, from flatwork like driveways, patios and walks to footings, foundations and walls. Most calls start with something cracked, sinking or holding water, and the answer is usually new concrete on a better base or a sunken slab raised back toward level. The price mostly turns on the size of the area, how much old concrete comes out, the ground underneath and the finish you pick, and the schedule turns on permits and the weather. Your estimate puts the measurements and what's included in writing.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard slab sized around how you'll use it, for a grill, a table or chairs, and sloped so rain runs away from the house, not toward the back door.
Stamped concrete services
Concrete pressed with patterns that look like stone, brick or slate while it's still soft, a good fit when you want texture on a patio or walk.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths to the yard or garage, set with a slight slope for drainage and a broom finish, the brushed texture that gives shoes grip when wet.
Garage floor concrete
A new garage slab built for the weight of cars and storage, finished smooth enough to sweep clean, with joints laid out before the pour rather than as an afterthought.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and shaped edges for concrete that should look as good as it works. We talk through finish choices at the estimate, since some need more upkeep.
Concrete retaining walls
Walls that hold back a slope or level out a yard, built on footings with drainage behind them so trapped water doesn't build up and push on the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for basements, shops, workrooms and commercial spaces, poured level over a packed base and finished to suit what goes on top, whether that's flooring or bare concrete.
Concrete pool decks
The slab around your pool, sloped to send splash water to drains or the lawn and finished with texture so bare feet have some grip near the water.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps of even height so nobody catches a toe, built with rebar inside, steel bars that hold the concrete together if it cracks.
Slab foundation building
A slab that serves as both floor and foundation for a garage, addition or outbuilding, with thickened edges and rebar laid out to carry the walls above.
Foundation installation
Foundations for homes, additions and commercial buildings, set on footings below the frost line, the depth winter freezing reaches, so frost doesn't heave them.
Concrete parking lot building
Lots and drive lanes for small businesses, built thicker where trucks turn and sloped so rain heads to drains instead of pooling by your door.
Concrete footings
The concrete base under a deck, porch, addition or wall, dug to the depth your plans and the local code call for, since a footing that's too shallow can shift.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk, we lift it toward level and fill the gap underneath. I'll tell you at the estimate whether raising or replacing makes more sense.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for new doorways, drain lines or a damaged section, so the concrete you keep isn't cracked by hammering.
How we handle your concrete job
I started out pouring walks and small patios for neighbors on weekends, and word got around until it became my full-time work in 2023. I learned the trade beside finishers who'd been at it a long time, and I still pick up something new on most jobs. You can read more on our about page.
Concrete is hard to undo, so I'd rather tell you something you don't want to hear at the estimate than have you find it out a year later. When a budget's tight, the base is the first thing people want to trim since nobody sees it, and it's the last thing I'll trim, because a slab moves with whatever's under it.
The one who quotes you is on site
I walk your job and write the quote myself, and I'm there with the crew the day it's poured, so what we talked about at the estimate is what gets built.
Where it's likely to crack, said up front
All concrete shrinks and most slabs crack somewhere, so I'll show you where that's likely and where we'll cut joints to steer it, instead of promising a slab that never cracks.
Tear-out and haul-away written into the quote
Your quote spells out what's included, like breaking up the old concrete and hauling it off, and what isn't, so nothing on the bill is a surprise later.

Common questions about concrete work in Toledo
Straight answers to what people ask us most about cost, curing, cracks, permits and where we work around Toledo.
How much does a new concrete driveway or patio cost in Toledo?
I give a price only after I've seen the site, because size, tear-out, the base and the finish all move it. A plain broom finish usually costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and soft ground or a slab that's sunk can need more base work. Your written estimate lists what's included and what isn't.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll walk on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength while it cures, the slow hardening that goes on for days after the pour. The exact wait depends on the weather and the slab, and I'll tell you yours before we pour so you can plan where to park.
Will my new concrete crack like the old one did?
It may get small cracks, because concrete shrinks as it dries and almost every slab cracks somewhere. What we control is where and how much, with a dug-out, packed base so the ground under it is less likely to move, a slope that sends water away from the house, and joints cut on time so cracks fall in lines we chose.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Toledo?
Yes, Toledo's city code requires a zoning certificate for every residential driveway, separate from any building permit. The city's Division of Building Inspection issues building permits. We pull the permits our work needs and check the rules with the city before we start, so you'll know what your job involves and where things stand.
Does a concrete contractor need a city license to work in Toledo?
Yes, the City of Toledo requires contractors to register and keep a license to do business in the city, and city code requires a license before anyone works in home improvement or remodeling. Owners doing their own work are exempt. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'm glad to answer questions about it at the estimate.
Do you pour concrete outside Toledo, including in Michigan?
Yes, we're based in Toledo and work across the cities around it in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan, including Perrysburg, Sylvania and Temperance. Those aren't the only places we go, so call (419) 392-9683 with your address and we'll let you know.
