Subdivision Concrete Across Aboite Township
Homeowners searching for concrete contractors in Aboite are mostly living in subdivisions, and most of the calls we get from the township are about driveways and patios that came with the house. Aboite Township had 28,338 residents in 2000, 35,765 in 2010 and 42,082 at the 2020 census, making it one of the fastest growing parts of Allen County. Wikipedia lists neighborhoods such as Brierwood Hills, Covington Dells, Forest Ridge, Liberty Hills, Manor Woods, Parkway Hills, Rolling Hills, Westlakes and Westlawn. Many share the same builder-grade flatwork, and much of it is now old enough to need attention.
Inside the city, or not
On January 1, 2006, Fort Wayne annexed about 12 square miles of Aboite territory. That line matters for concrete. Addresses inside the annexed area fall under the City of Fort Wayne's right-of-way rules when a job touches the drive approach or the public sidewalk, while addresses outside it follow Allen County. Your mailing address does not always tell you which side you are on, so we look it up before we write the estimate and plan the permit to match.
What we see on Aboite driveways
A two- or three-car driveway poured when a subdivision went in has usually been through many winters of plowing, salt and freeze. The common problems are a cracked apron at the street, scaling where cars drip melted slush, and one panel that has dropped near the garage door where the original backfill settled. When the panels are still level and the cracks are tight, we can replace only the failed sections. When panels are rocking against each other or water is getting under the slab, a full tear-out and new stone base is the better use of your money.
Patios and backyard space
Subdivision lots in the township often come with a small rear slab outside the patio door. We hear a lot from owners who want to expand it into a larger patio, add a stamped border, or replace a slab that has tipped back toward the house. We pitch every patio away from the foundation, tie expansions in so the old and new sections move together, and plan joint lines so cracks fall where you cannot see them. Wikipedia puts the township's elevation around 850 feet, and the land drains to Aboite Creek, whose name is said to come from a French word for minnow. Many back yards slope toward drainage swales, so we check grade before we pick a patio height.
HOAs and covenants
Most Aboite subdivisions have an association with rules about driveway width, materials or stamped colors. Bring your covenants to the estimate, or send them ahead, and we will design inside them. If the HOA needs a drawing for approval, we can lay out the slab dimensions and finish for you to submit.

Aboite Questions
Does my Aboite address follow Fort Wayne or Allen County rules?
It depends on whether your lot is inside the area Fort Wayne annexed in 2006. We check before we quote, so the permit for any approach or public walk work goes to the right office.
Can you widen my subdivision driveway?
Usually yes, as long as your HOA and the setback to the property line allow it. We saw-cut a clean edge, dowel the new section into the old one where it makes sense, and match the finish.
My patio has tipped toward the house. Can it be fixed?
If the slab is sound, it can sometimes be lifted. If it is cracked through or the base has washed out, a new patio with a compacted base and proper pitch is the lasting fix.
