Concrete & Flat Work · Florence, Kentucky
Concrete Replacement and Flatwork in Florence
Florence is where Northern Kentucky's concrete goes to retire. Boone County's largest city, about 32,300 people, carries the most established housing stock in the county with a median build year around 1985, which means an enormous inventory of postwar-through-90s driveways, walks, and patios that have simply served their time. Most of our Florence calls aren't first pours. They're replacements, and replacement is where owning the demolition side pays off: we break the old slab, load it, and haul it on our own dump fleet, then bring the stone back on the same trucks.
The short answer
Pro Innovations replaces failed driveways, pours new slabs and sidewalks, and handles flatwork for homes and businesses in Florence, KY. We're an excavation company, so tear-out, haul-off, stone, and compaction all come from one crew, roughly 17 road miles up I-75 from our Crittenden yard. Call 859-910-9272.
The flat ground that made Florence the county's commercial core is Rossmoyne, and the soil survey is blunt about it, noting many wet spots in built-up areas where the fragipan perches water, with shrink-swell clay in the lower layers listed as a foundation limitation. Forty years of that perched water working under a 1980s slab explains most of the cracked driveways in town, so our replacements fix the base and the water before new concrete goes down. Much of the city drains to Gunpowder Creek's headwaters, cleaned up enough to come off the impaired list in 2022, and dense pavement here means runoff on every job gets managed, not ignored.
There's commercial work in the mix too. The city's 2024 economic development report counted 20 projects underway, and long-term redevelopment planning around the Mall Road corridor points to years of tear-out and regrade ahead. Aprons, dumpster pads, and sidewalks are one call to the same crew, with access easy off I-75 exits 178 through 182.
What makes Florence ground different
Replacement-age concrete
A median build year of 1985 means much of Florence's original flatwork is past its service life. We replace it properly: full tear-out, a rebuilt compacted base, and a new pour, instead of patches on a failed foundation of dirt.
Wet spots on Rossmoyne flats
The soil survey documents wet spots across Florence's built-up ground, where a fragipan holds water near the surface. Decades of that under a slab is why it cracked, so our pours get drainage and stone the originals never had.
Commercial corridor work
With 20 projects counted underway in the city's 2024 report and Mall Road redevelopment on the horizon, Florence has steady demand for aprons, pads, and walks. Our fleet and iron let us handle the site work and the flatwork together.

Concrete & Flat Work work we bring to Florence
Concrete & Flat Work in Florence: your questions
Do you replace old concrete driveways in Florence, KY?
All the time. Florence's older stock keeps us busy with full replacements: break-out, haul-off on our own trucks, a compacted stone base, and a new pour, quoted as one number.
Do you do commercial concrete work in Florence?
Yes. Aprons, dumpster pads, sidewalks, and slab work for commercial sites, backed by our excavation equipment and 14-truck fleet, so the dirt side and the concrete side don't need separate contractors.
Why does water stand on concrete in Florence?
Florence's flat ground perches water on a soil pan close to the surface, and older flatwork was rarely pitched or drained to deal with it. When we pour, the slab gets a deliberate slope and the base gets drainage, so water leaves instead of standing.
How long does a driveway replacement take in Florence?
Usually a few working days on site: tear-out and base prep, then forming and the pour. After that, plan on about a week before you park on it, and we'll walk you through the cure timeline before we leave.
