Concrete Work From Preparation to the Finished Surface
ASRE pours residential, commercial and stamped concrete in Allentown and the Lehigh Valley. Projects include driveways, sidewalks, steps, patios, pool decks and commercial slabs and parking surfaces. Concrete removal, excavation and base preparation are also available, allowing the estimate to cover the existing surface and the work needed for its replacement.
A concrete project needs decisions about its footprint, elevation, use and finish before placement. The prepared base matters as much as the surface you see. ASRE discusses removal limits, access, drainage and connected walkways or steps when reviewing the work. For decorative surfaces, stamped concrete adds pattern and color choices to that conversation. Call 610-797-3212 for a free estimate and describe how the finished area needs to function for your home or commercial property.

How it works
Plan the Surface and What Supports It
- 01
Define how you will use the area
A driveway supports vehicles, a walkway connects entrances, and a patio needs a footprint fitted to the house and yard. Tell ASRE the intended use, dimensions and existing conditions so the estimate starts with the surface you need rather than only an approximate amount of concrete.
- 02
Review levels, edges and drainage
Look at nearby doors, steps, pavement and walls to determine how the new surface connects. Discuss runoff and the concrete staying in place, since the edges and elevations need to work with the property instead of creating a low area or an awkward access transition.
- 03
Choose the finish and plan removal
Discuss a standard concrete surface or stamped concrete where pattern and color suit the project. Identify old concrete needing tear-out and whether the footprint is changing, then separate removal, hauling and new placement in the estimate so everything included is clear before work starts.
- 04
Prepare the ground for placement
ASRE provides removal, excavation, grading and stone base work for concrete projects. A compacted, properly shaped base matters to support, so preparation should fit the planned slab and use instead of assuming the ground under an old surface is suitable without review.
- 05
Place, finish and discuss use
ASRE places and finishes the agreed concrete surface. Ask about curing, care for your finish and when your concrete is ready for foot or vehicle traffic. Timing depends on your project and conditions.

For Homes, Businesses and Institutional Properties
Homeowners use concrete for driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps and pool decks. Businesses need practical access surfaces, slabs and parking areas, while institutional work adds public-facing pedestrian routes and site improvements. ASRE handles residential and commercial concrete across Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Emmaus, Macungie, Whitehall and surrounding Lehigh Valley areas. Tell us about everyday traffic and the surfaces connecting to the new work. A decorative patio, residential driveway and commercial slab need different discussions even when each requires removal and base preparation. Your estimate should reflect how you plan to use the concrete.
Project example
Residential Flatwork and Local Commercial Projects
ASRE's Mr. Smith driveway project included demolition, preparation, placement and finishing for residential concrete flatwork. Commercial examples include concrete work at Harbor Freight in Allentown and concrete and hardscape work for Equipto. ASRE also completed institutional concrete and hardscape work at Lehigh University. For a larger recreation area, the campground project included 14,000 square feet of broom-finished concrete seating and circulation area. These projects include concrete work at residential, business and institutional properties, each with its own installation needs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Need something else? Give us a call.
What kinds of concrete work does ASRE provide?
ASRE pours residential, commercial and stamped concrete. Projects include driveways, aprons, sidewalks, steps, patios, pool decks, commercial slabs and parking surfaces. Removal and preparation are also available when existing concrete needs replacement. Describe the intended use and layout during the estimate. Your estimate should list the dimensions, base preparation and finish included in your concrete project.
Can you remove the old concrete before pouring new?
Yes. ASRE breaks, saw-cuts, removes and hauls old concrete and pours replacement surfaces. Define the tear-out limits and the concrete staying in place, especially when replacing only part of a walkway, driveway or slab. Removal exposes the base beneath the surface, which needs review before new placement. Ask for an estimate covering the removal, preparation and new concrete so you know where each part of the work starts and ends.
How do I choose standard or stamped concrete?
Start with the use and appearance you want for the area. Stamped concrete offers patterns, texture and color choices for patios, walkways, driveways and related surfaces. Standard concrete is another option for residential and commercial work. Discuss both with ASRE, including the planned layout and care for the finish. Decorative concrete still needs maintenance, and traction varies in wet or icy conditions. Ask about both when choosing your finish.
Why is preparation important for a concrete slab?
The slab depends on the support beneath it. Excavation, the grade and a compacted base help establish the conditions for placement. Drainage and the connection to nearby surfaces also affect how the area functions afterward. ASRE provides site preparation and grading as well as concrete work. When replacing a slab, discuss the exposed base instead of assuming a new pour alone addresses problems caused by ground conditions or the existing layout.
Do you take on commercial concrete projects?
ASRE provides commercial concrete, with project examples at Harbor Freight in Allentown and Equipto, plus institutional concrete and hardscape work at Lehigh University. Commercial concrete work includes slabs, sidewalks, steps, parking lots and garages. Tell ASRE about deliveries, pedestrian routes and access requirements during the estimate. The work should be planned around the specific business property, so discuss the size and requirements of your job rather than relying on past project examples alone.
What warranty and estimate options are available?
ASRE offers free estimates and a one-year workmanship warranty. Ask how the warranty applies to your proposed work and discuss care for the selected finish. Ask ASRE about curing and when your concrete is ready for use. Timing depends on the surface and your project. Call 610-797-3212 with the address, approximate dimensions and whether you need removal, a replacement pour or a new concrete installation.
