What that age means for concrete
Concrete poured before air entrainment became standard practice does not cope well with freeze-thaw and de-icing salt. In Haverford that shows up predictably: front steps with crumbling nosings, walkways that have lifted over street-tree roots, driveway surfaces scaled across their whole area, and porch slabs that have pulled away from the house. Most of the township's concrete calls are about surfaces reaching the end of a long life rather than about anything that was built badly.
What we do here
- Driveway replacement, including the apron in the township right-of-way
- Front walks and steps, matched to the original riser heights
- Rear patios, plain or decorative
- Porch and stoop rebuilding where the structure has gone
- Garage and basement floor slabs
- Retaining walls where lots step between levels
Access on a Haverford lot
Rear yards here are usually reached through a side path or a shared drive rather than directly. Where a truck cannot chute into the forms, the concrete gets barrowed or pumped, and that changes both the sequencing and the price. It is the first thing we establish on the site visit, so the estimate reflects the job rather than a rate card.
Decorative concrete on the Main Line edge
Haverford sits where the township grid meets the Main Line, and a fair share of the decorative work we are asked for here is about matching stone or brick on an older house. See stamped concrete in Haverford.
Is Haverford in Delaware County?
Haverford Township is in Delaware County. The Haverford postal area also reaches into Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County, so a Haverford address is not automatically in Haverford Township, which decides whose code office issues your permit. We confirm that before any permitted work.
