Mount Sterling's downtown brick homes and postwar ranches sit on the same deep red-brown silt loam and shallow limestone bedrock as Lexington, but decades of freeze-thaw cycles, settling clay, and road salt have left their mark on driveways, garage slabs, and walkways across 40353.
When your garage floor cracks, your driveway sinks, or your front walk tilts and creates a trip hazard, Lexington Concrete knows exactly what's happened beneath the surface and how to fix it right. We've been serving Mount Sterling and the surrounding Lexington area with concrete repair, replacement, and new construction for years, and we understand the specific challenges that come with our region's soil, climate, and building stock.
Concrete in Mount Sterling (40353)
Mount Sterling's housing stock tells the story of the problem. The older brick Tudors and Colonial Revivals downtown, built in the 1910s through 1930s, sit on shallow foundations over limestone bedrock that can develop sinkholes and soft spots. The postwar ranches from the 1950s and 1960s, with their single-car driveways and modest footprints, have concrete that has endured fifty to seventy years of Kentucky winters. Every year brings dozens of freeze-thaw cycles, and every winter brings road salt and driveway de-icing chemicals that scale and spall the surface. The clay subsoil swells when wet and settles when dry, so walkways, porch steps, and driveway panels sink and tilt over time. Heavy summer thunderstorms test grading and drainage, and the occasional ice storm loads everything with weight. Garage floors, in particular, crack and heave as the ground beneath them shifts.
Our team has handled sunken slabs, settled driveways, cracked and spalling concrete, and new construction across Mount Sterling and Lexington. We know the soil, we know the freeze-thaw cycles, and we know how to build concrete that lasts in this climate.

How a Job Works in Mount Sterling
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (859) 710-6168 or reach out online, and we schedule a time to visit your property in Mount Sterling. We look at the concrete, the grade, the drainage, the soil, and the access. We ask questions about what you've seen, when it started, and what you need. We give you a realistic estimate, a timeline, and a clear picture of what we'll do.
When we start work, we coordinate with any HOA requirements, pull the necessary Mount Sterling permits for driveway or sidewalk work, and plan our access carefully, especially on narrower lots common in the older downtown neighborhoods. We do the work cleanly and efficiently. If we're removing and replacing concrete, we haul it away. If we're leveling a sunken slab, we use proven lifting and injection techniques. If we're sealing or resurfacing, we prep the surface properly so the work holds up through the next ten winters.
When we're done, we clean up completely. You walk the property with us, and we make sure everything meets your expectations. We stand behind our work.
Pricing in Mount Sterling depends on the job. A concrete driveway runs from $6 per square foot, and a typical two-car driveway might be 400 to 600 square feet, so expect $2,400 to $3,600 for new construction. A patio runs from $6 per square foot. Garage floors start at $5 per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which are very common here because of settling, run from $4 per square foot. Repair and resurfacing of existing concrete starts at $3 per square foot. Sealing, which is one of the best investments you can make to protect concrete from freeze-thaw damage and road salt, runs from $0.75 per square foot. The final cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing concrete, access and grading challenges, and how soon you need the work done. Call us at (859) 710-6168 for a free estimate.
