Solon's newer homes and acreages near Lake Macbride sit on long driveways and generous lots that demand concrete work built to last through Iowa winters and the freeze-thaw cycles that crack and heave driveways every year. Cedar Rapids Concrete serves Solon (52333) and the surrounding Cedar Rapids area with concrete driveways, patios, repairs, and decorative finishes that stand up to our climate.
When your driveway starts to settle, crack, or spall from road salt and winter weather, or when you want to add a stamped patio to your backyard, our team knows Solon's terrain, lot layouts, and the permit requirements that come with new concrete work here. We've built and repaired concrete for homeowners throughout the Cedar Rapids region, and we understand what Solon properties need.
Concrete in Solon (52333)
Solon's landscape is rolling upland with loess silt over glacial till clay, and that ground settles under concrete slabs. Drainage matters here. The newer homes and acreages toward Lake Macbride often have long driveways crossing sloped terrain, and the water table can rise in spring and after heavy thunderstorms. We design and build concrete work with proper grading and base preparation so that water drains away from your slab instead of pooling underneath and causing settlement, frost heave, and cracking.
Winters in Cedar Rapids and Solon are long and hard. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and road de-icing salt all take a toll on concrete surfaces. Driveways spall and pop; sidewalks crack and heave. We see this damage every spring. That's why we recommend sealing driveways and patios after installation, and why concrete repair and resurfacing are common jobs for us in Solon. Our team has repaired hundreds of driveways and patios across the Cedar Rapids area, and we know how to do the work right so it lasts.

How a Job Works in Solon
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (319) 774-7901 or reach out with photos and details, and we schedule a time to walk your property, look at the existing concrete or the site where you want new concrete, check drainage and grade, and talk through your goals and budget. We'll explain what we see, answer your questions, and give you a clear estimate in writing.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle any local permits required by Solon or the surrounding area. Depending on the job, we may need to coordinate with your HOA or confirm property lines with neighbors. We then schedule the work, prep the site, and do the concrete work itself. For driveways and patios in Solon, that means proper base preparation, correct grading for drainage, and finishing to your specifications. If access is tight (common on acreages with long driveways), we work with what you have and plan equipment placement carefully.
When the concrete cures, we clean up the site thoroughly, remove debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. You'll see a finished, clean property and concrete ready to use. We're done when you're satisfied.
Concrete work in Solon ranges widely depending on the job. Driveways and patios start at $6 per square foot; stamped and decorative concrete starts at $10 per square foot and goes higher for complex designs and colors. Concrete repair and resurfacing run from $3 per square foot for minor work to more for extensive damage. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, useful for sunken slabs and trip hazards, start at $4 per square foot. Pool decks, garage floors, and other specialty work have their own pricing based on size, condition, access, and what you want. The biggest cost factors are the size of the area, the condition of the existing site or concrete, whether we need to remove and haul away old concrete, and how soon you need the work done. For a free estimate tailored to your Solon property, call us at (319) 774-7901. We'll give you honest pricing and explain what's involved.
