Concrete in Overland Park, from the Metcalf ranches to the 159th Street subdivisions
Overland Park is the biggest city in the county and the one with the most concrete coming due at once, from 1960s ranch driveways near Metcalf to the 2000s tracts south of 135th.
Overland Park runs forty years of suburb from north to south. The ranches and split-levels between Shawnee Mission Parkway and 95th Street were built in the 1950s and 60s with driveways that have been patched, sealed and salted ever since. The 1970s and 80s streets around 103rd and 119th have the heaved walks and settled stoops that come with that age on clay. South of 135th, down to 159th and 179th, the 1990s and 2000s production driveways are failing the way Olathe's are: scaled at the garage, cracked corner to corner, sunk at the apron. Overland Park is where more of the metro's searches for a concrete contractor come from than anywhere else, and the reason is simple: there's more of it, and a lot of it is the same age.
The right-of-way is the City's. Overland Park's right-of-way permit covers work in the roughly 10 feet behind the curb, which on most lots takes in the approach and the public sidewalk; it costs $40 per address or parcel, the fee doubles if work is done without one, there is a $50 reinspection fee if the work isn't finished or corrected, and the City requires a surety bond and certificates of insurance from the contractor. We carry both, pull the permit, and put it on its own line. Many Overland Park HOAs, especially south of 135th, want to see a widened drive or a new patio before it's poured, and we send the drawing.

Questions from Overland Park homeowners
Do I need a permit to replace my driveway in Overland Park?
For the part on your lot, usually not. For the approach and anything else within about 10 feet of the curb, yes: the City's right-of-way permit, $40 per parcel, with a bond and insurance from the contractor. We handle it.
Who fixes the sidewalk in front of my house?
Work on the public sidewalk is right-of-way work under the City's permit. If the City has contacted you about a panel, bring the letter to the estimate and we price exactly what it asks for.
Can you lift my sunken garage apron?
If the concrete is sound, yes, with polyurethane foam, usually in a morning, and you can drive on it the same day.
How soon can you come out?
Usually within a day or two. Calls are answered 24 hours a day and an estimator calls back the next business morning.
