New and replacement concrete driveways in Polk County have to stand up to clay that heaves in winter and shifts with the seasons. JLB pours driveways on a properly prepared and compacted base so the slab resists cracking and settling for years. Whether you are updating a home in Des Moines or building on an acreage near Alleman, we deliver a durable, clean-finished driveway sized to your property.
A well-built concrete patio gives Polk County homeowners a low-maintenance outdoor space that handles Iowa's freeze-thaw winters. JLB designs and pours patios with the right thickness, reinforcement, and control joints to limit cracking on our region's expansive soil. From compact backyard spaces in Des Moines to larger rural patios near Berwick, we build to fit how you use the space.
Cracked, heaved, or uneven sidewalks are common in Polk County as clay soil shifts beneath them and freeze-thaw cycles take their toll. JLB pours new walkways and replaces failing ones on a stable, compacted base for safe, level footing. We handle residential walks throughout Des Moines and the smaller communities of Elkhart, Alleman, and Berwick.
Stamped concrete lets Polk County homeowners get the look of brick, stone, or pavers in a single durable slab. JLB pours and stamps patios, walkways, and entries with patterns and colors that complement Iowa homes, then seals them against moisture and freeze-thaw wear. It is a high-impact upgrade that holds up far better than loose pavers on shifting clay.
A concrete pool deck needs to be slip-resistant, comfortable underfoot, and built to resist the moisture and movement common in Polk County. JLB pours pool decks with proper slope for drainage and finishes that stay cooler and safer around water. We build decks that complement backyards across Des Moines and the surrounding county.
Stained concrete transforms plain gray slabs into rich, decorative surfaces for Polk County patios, entries, and interior floors. JLB applies acid or water-based stains that penetrate the concrete for lasting color that won't peel like paint. It is a cost-effective way to upgrade the look of new or existing concrete on Iowa homes.
Polk County's rolling terrain and clay soil make retaining walls a practical tool for managing grade and controlling erosion. JLB builds engineered concrete retaining walls with proper drainage behind them so water pressure does not undermine the structure. These walls protect landscapes and foundations on sloped lots around Des Moines, Elkhart, Alleman, and Berwick.
JLB handles the concrete groundwork that a quality pool depends on in Polk County, from the structural shell support to the surrounding deck. Building on Iowa's expansive clay requires careful base preparation so the installation stays stable through seasonal soil movement. We coordinate the concrete work so your pool project sits on a solid, properly drained foundation.
Commercial properties across Polk County rely on durable concrete parking lots that carry heavy traffic loads without cracking and rutting. JLB pours and repairs lots on a compacted, well-drained base engineered for our region's clay soil and freeze-thaw climate. We serve businesses in Des Moines and throughout the county with lots built to last and drain properly.
Warehouse and industrial floors in Polk County must handle forklift traffic, heavy racking, and constant use without failing. JLB pours thick, reinforced concrete floors with proper joint layout and finishing for a flat, durable surface. We build slabs for facilities in the Des Moines area that stand up to demanding industrial conditions on Iowa's shifting subsoil.
Accessible ADA ramps help Polk County homes and businesses meet code while providing safe, level access for everyone. JLB builds concrete ramps to the correct slope, width, and surface requirements, with proper drainage so they stay safe in Iowa winters. We install ramps for residential and commercial properties across Des Moines and the surrounding communities.

Central Iowa runs roughly 100-120 freeze-thaw cycles a winter on the Des Moines Lobe. JLB uses 5-7% air-entrained mixes, places control joints correctly, compacts the subgrade, and sets structural footings below the 42-inch frost line so flatwork resists scaling, cracking, and heave.
