Why Grand Rapids Homeowners & Businesses
Choose Mitten Concrete
There are plenty of concrete companies in West Michigan. Here’s what sets Mitten Concrete apart.
We are fully licensed, insured, and bonded in the State of Michigan.
That means you’re working with a professional contractor that takes responsibility for the job, the crew on your site, and the quality of the finished concrete.
We focus on flatwork and specialty concrete—the visible surfaces you drive, walk, and work on every day. Our crews follow consistent prep and finishing standards so your concrete is:
- Properly graded and sloped for drainage
- Reinforced where it should be
- Finished for the right use (vehicle traffic vs foot traffic)
- Cured correctly to maximize lifespan and reduce early cracking
We treat your home or business like our own:
- Clearly marked work areas
- Cleanup at the end of each day
- Communication about access, noise, and timing
- Extra attention when customers, tenants, or employees are nearby
This approach keeps projects safer and less stressful for everyone on site.
Concrete in our region has to deal with freeze–thaw cycles, road salt, and clay-heavy soils.
Our team lives and works in West Michigan and knows what it takes for concrete to hold up here:
- Proper base preparation
- Drainage planning
- Expansion joints
- Realistic expectations for maintenance
Our Concrete Installation Process
Every project is different, but we follow a clear, repeatable process so you know what to expect when you hire Mitten Concrete.
We visit your property, take measurements, look at access and drainage, and listen to what you want. You’ll receive a written quote that outlines scope, prep, and expected timeline so there are no surprises.
For replacements, we remove the existing concrete or asphalt and haul it off-site for proper disposal. We keep debris contained, protect nearby landscaping where possible, and work to minimize disruption.
A solid base is what keeps concrete from cracking and shifting over time.
We:
- Excavate to the proper depth
- Install and compact base material
- Check slopes for drainage away from structures
This is one of the most important steps in the entire project.
We set forms to define the shape and elevation of your slab or flatwork, then add reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh) as needed based on the use of the slab—driveways and commercial slabs need different specs than simple walkways.
Concrete is poured, leveled, and finished according to the project:
- Broom finishes for driveways and walkways
- Smooth finishes for garage and basement slabs
- Decorative/stamped finishes where requested
We then cut control joints and give you clear instructions on curing time and when you can walk, drive, or park on the new surface.
We remove forms, pick up debris, and walk the project with you to answer questions and review maintenance tips. If anything doesn’t look right, this is where we make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Concrete in Grand Rapids
How far out are you booking concrete projects?
Availability changes with the season, but during peak months we may book several weeks out. If you have a specific timeline, let us know when you request a quote so we can plan accordingly.
Do you handle both tear-out and new concrete pours?
Yes. We handle full tear-out and replacement of old concrete and asphalt, as well as new installs for additions, new builds, parking lots, and other projects.
What thickness and reinforcement do you use for driveways?
For most residential driveways, we pour to local standards for thickness and use the appropriate reinforcement based on soil conditions, expected vehicle loads, and project design. During your quote, we’ll explain the specs we recommend for your property.
Do you work with general contractors and builders?
Yes. We regularly work with GCs, home builders, and commercial contractors on foundations, slabs, and flatwork. We can coordinate with your project schedule, inspections, and other trades to keep your project moving.
What affects the cost of a concrete driveway or slab?
Key cost factors include:
- Size and thickness of the slab
- Access to the site and how much demo is required
- Base preparation needed
- Reinforcement and finish type
Decorative options (if any)
If you’re comparing estimates, make sure you’re comparing the same specs, not just the lowest number.
How soon can I drive or park on new concrete?
Light foot traffic is typically allowed after a short curing period; vehicle traffic generally requires more time. We’ll provide specific guidance for your project based on slab thickness, weather, and use.
