About Hudson

Hudson is a city in Black Hawk County, Iowa, about 6 miles southwest of Waterloo. Wikidata lists 1857 as its founding year. U.S. Route 63, Iowa Highway 58 and U.S. Route 20 serve the town.

Like the rest of the Waterloo area, Hudson has a humid continental climate: cold, snowy winters and warm summers, so freeze-thaw cycles and spring storms are part of planning concrete work here.

Concrete contractors Services in Hudson

Concrete Driveways in Hudson

New driveways poured over compacted stone base to handle the clay soil. Local pros grade for drainage, reinforce with rebar or mesh, and finish with a broom texture for traction in winter.

Patios and Walkways in Hudson

Outdoor living spaces built to last through Iowa weather. Local pros pour patios with proper slope, add control joints to manage cracking, and can add color or stamps if you want them.

Garage Floors in Hudson

Level garage slabs with a smooth trowel finish or light broom for vehicles. Proper base prep prevents settling and keeps your floor flat for years.

Foundation Walls in Hudson

Residential and commercial foundations poured to code with proper footings below frost line. Local pros waterproof exterior walls and make sure drainage moves water away from the structure.

Concrete Steps in Hudson

Front steps, back porches, and basement entries built with correct rise and run. Local pros tie new steps into existing slabs and add texture for safe footing in snow and ice.

Repair and Leveling in Hudson

Local pros fix sunken sidewalks, replace broken sections, and patch spalled concrete. For slabs that have settled but are still solid, leveling brings them back without replacement cost.

How It Works

  1. Site Visit and Estimate. Local pros come look at your property, check drainage and soil conditions, and measure the area. You get a written quote with the scope of work and timeline, usually within two days.
  2. Excavation and Base Prep. Local pros dig out to the right depth for your project, remove any unstable clay, and bring in crushed stone. The base gets compacted with a plate tamper or roller so it won't settle later.
  3. Forms and Reinforcement. Local pros set wood or metal forms to the right height and grade, then place rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement. Everything gets checked for level and proper slope before the pour.
  4. Concrete Pour and Finish. Local pros order the right mix for your job and Iowa weather, pour the concrete, and work it into place. Finishing includes screeding, floating, and adding the surface texture you want. Control joints go in while the concrete is still workable.
  5. Curing and Cleanup. Fresh concrete needs time to cure properly. Local pros protect it from rain and temperature extremes, apply curing compound if needed, and let it set for the right amount of time before you use it. Local pros haul off all debris and leave your property clean.

What Concrete Work Costs in Waterloo

A typical driveway runs $6 to $10 per square foot for a standard 4-inch slab with broom finish, so a two-car driveway of 400 square feet costs about $2,400 to $4,000. Patios run similar rates, while decorative stamped or colored concrete adds $3 to $6 per square foot. Foundation walls cost $8 to $15 per square foot depending on height and access. Prices go up when the pro needs extra excavation in bad clay, when the site is hard to reach with a concrete truck, or when you want thicker concrete for heavy vehicles. Simple repairs and small pours cost more per square foot because setup time is the same whether local pros are pouring 100 square feet or 1,000. They give you an exact price after the pro sees your property and know what the job requires.
