Concrete Contractors in Colonial Park, PA

Colonial Park is one of the busiest residential areas east of Harrisburg, and concrete contractors here mostly work on homes that are a few decades old. It is a census-designated place inside Lower Paxton Township, not a separate town, and it grew from 13,229 residents in 2010 to 16,243 in 2020. The 2020 census counted 7,418 housing units, with 6.6 percent vacant. Those are mostly detached homes, duplexes and townhomes on suburban lots, with driveways, walks and patios that are reaching replacement age.

Where Colonial Park is

Interstate 83 forms the community's western boundary, Paxtonia borders it to the northeast and Progress to the west. US 22, Jonestown Road, runs through the middle and leads about 5 miles west to downtown Harrisburg. The Colonial Park Mall and much of the area's retail are here, and the ZIP code is 17109. The community sits around 500 feet in elevation.

Because Colonial Park is part of Lower Paxton Township, permits and any right-of-way questions go through the township. We sort that out with you before scheduling.

Common Colonial Park projects

Homes here tend to need the same handful of jobs:

• Driveway replacement where the slab has cracked across and the apron has broken at the street
• Front stoops on split-level and ranch homes that have settled or crumbled at the edges
• Rear patios that slope toward the house or have cracked corners
• Walks between the driveway and the front door
• Garage floor panels that have dropped at the door

Many of these slabs were poured without the air entrainment and joint spacing used today, which is why they scale and crack. Replacements fix both.

Townhomes and shared driveways

Some Colonial Park properties are townhomes or duplexes with shared walls and, sometimes, shared driveways or walks. On those jobs we confirm property lines and any association rules before we break out concrete. Where two owners share a slab, we can price the work for each side separately or together, and we line up the joints so the finished surface looks like one piece.

Doing it right the first time

Every pour starts with the base: digging out soft or organic soil, adding and compacting stone, and setting grades that carry water toward the street or yard. Then we place forms, add reinforcement where it makes sense, pour an air-entrained mix and cut control joints. We finish with a broom texture for traction on walks and drives, and recommend a cure and seal schedule for the first winter.

Close to everything

Colonial Park's location near Interstate 83, US 22 and the mall makes it one of the most convenient places in the area to live, and it also means many households have more than one car. Driveway widening is a common request here, along with parking pads beside the garage. We check setbacks, the curb cut and drainage before adding width, and tie new concrete into the old slab with dowels so the two stay level.
