Kensington has a distinct small-town character that residents value deeply. Many homes here date back to the early 1900s, with Victorian and Craftsman architecture that gives the town its charm. When we work on concrete projects in Kensington, we keep this character in mind. Your new driveway or walkway should enhance your property, not clash with its historic style.
The historic homes along Detrick Avenue, Howard Avenue, and the streets near Warner Circle often have original concrete walkways that have served well for decades but now need replacement. These homes require thoughtful concrete work that maintains appropriate scale and style. We can match existing profiles, use traditional finishes, or suggest decorative options that complement period architecture.
Many Kensington properties have mature trees that create the lovely tree canopy the town is known for. These trees also present challenges for concrete work. Roots can push up driveways and walkways, and we need to plan carefully to avoid damaging root systems during excavation. We work around established trees whenever possible, protecting both your landscaping and your concrete investment. Our driveway installation services include careful planning around existing trees and landscaping.
Some Kensington properties fall within the historic district, which has specific guidelines for exterior work. We navigate these requirements regularly and can help you understand what is allowed and what requires special approval. Our goal is to give you concrete work that meets all requirements while serving your practical needs for decades to come.
Kensington backyards are special spaces. Many have mature gardens, privacy from neighbors, and a peaceful ambiance that makes outdoor living a joy. Adding a concrete patio gives you a stable, low-maintenance foundation for outdoor furniture, grills, and entertaining spaces. We design and install patios that enhance your backyard without overwhelming it.
The lots in Kensington vary significantly. Some properties have large, level backyards perfect for spacious patios. Others have slopes or terraces that require more creative solutions. We can design multi-level patios, add retaining walls to create usable flat areas, or work with the natural slope to create interesting transitional spaces between your home and garden.
Many Kensington homeowners ask about decorative concrete finishes for their patios. Stamped concrete works beautifully here, offering the look of natural stone or brick while providing the durability and low maintenance of concrete. Exposed aggregate is another popular choice that fits well with the natural, garden-focused aesthetic many Kensington properties embrace.
We also think about how your patio will be used. Do you need space for a dining table and chairs? Room for a grill and food prep area? A quiet corner for morning coffee? We design the size and shape to match your lifestyle, not just fill available space. The result is a patio that becomes an extension of your living area, a place you actually use and enjoy throughout the warm months.
Our patio installation services combine thoughtful design with quality construction. We handle everything from initial planning through final finishing, delivering a patio that enhances your Kensington property for years to come.
Kensington has a thriving commercial district centered around Antique Row and the shops along Howard Avenue and Connecticut Avenue. These businesses need concrete work that combines functionality with the aesthetic charm that draws visitors to Kensington. We provide commercial concrete services that meet both requirements.
Storefronts and shop entrances need level, attractive concrete that handles daily foot traffic while contributing to curb appeal. We install and repair commercial walkways and entryways using durable materials and professional finishing techniques. Your customers notice these details, and quality concrete work makes a positive impression that reflects well on your business.
Parking areas for businesses in Kensington often have limited space and need to accommodate both customer parking and deliveries. We design concrete installations that maximize usable space while meeting all code requirements for drainage and accessibility. Proper planning makes the difference between parking areas that work well and those that create constant headaches.
The Town of Kensington has its own requirements for commercial concrete work, especially when it involves public sidewalks or work within the historic district. We handle all the permitting and coordination with town officials so your project moves forward smoothly. We know what they require and how to present plans for quick approval.
Restaurant patios and outdoor seating areas are popular in Kensington, especially during pleasant weather. These spaces need concrete that is smooth enough for stability yet textured enough for safety. We create outdoor dining areas that work well operationally while enhancing the customer experience.

How we deliver quality concrete work for every Kensington project.
We visit your Kensington property to understand your needs and evaluate site conditions. We measure the work area, discuss your goals and preferences, and assess any challenges like slopes or tree roots. Then we provide a detailed written estimate that clearly explains all costs and what is included.
Even well-installed concrete eventually needs repairs. Tree roots, ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles, and simple wear all take their toll over time. We handle concrete repairs throughout Kensington, from small crack filling to partial slab replacement. The key is catching problems early before they turn into major issues.
Cracks are the most common concrete problem we see. Small cracks can be filled and sealed to prevent water infiltration and further damage. Wider cracks or multiple cracks radiating from one point suggest underlying base problems that need more comprehensive repair. We assess each situation honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that is repair or replacement.
Uneven or settled concrete creates trip hazards and drainage problems. Sometimes we can lift settled sections using specialized techniques. Other times, removing and replacing the affected area is the better long-term solution. We explain your options and help you decide the best approach for your situation and budget.
Surface damage from salt, chemicals, or weathering can sometimes be repaired without full replacement. We can grind down damaged surfaces, apply resurfacing products, or cut out and replace just the damaged sections. These targeted repairs cost less than complete replacement while extending the life of your concrete. Our repair services help Kensington homeowners get more life from their existing concrete.
