Concrete Work in Avilla
Avilla is a small Noble County town between Fort Wayne and Kendallville, and the concrete contractors who work here see a mix of older homes in the village center and newer houses built during its growth spurts. The town was founded around 1835 and incorporated in 1876. Its population grew from 1,366 in 1990 to 2,049 in 2000, a 50 percent jump, and reached 2,438 in 2020, with 1,049 housing units. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks, steps and slabs for garages and outbuildings.
Homes from the 1990s and 2000s
With so much of Avilla built in the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of the concrete in town is now 15 to 30 years old. That is the point when driveways start to crack at the street, panels by the garage settle over backfill, and back patios feel too small for the way families use them. Our most common Avilla jobs are driveway replacements, patio expansions and fixing stoops that have pulled away from the house.
High, rolling ground
Avilla sits at about 958 feet, well above Fort Wayne. The land around town is more rolling than the flat ground near the rivers, and that brings both an advantage and a challenge. Water drains more easily, but slabs need to be set carefully on sloped lots. We plan steps, thickened edges or slight terraces where needed, and always pitch slabs away from the house.
Freeze and thaw remain the main enemy of outdoor concrete here. We use air-entrained mixes, compact the base, and place control joints where they will do their job.
The village center
One of Avilla's oldest buildings is the St. James Hotel, now the St. James Restaurant, and the post office has operated since 1846. Homes near the center are older and often have walks and steps that have been patched many times. We replace the failing pieces down to a sound base so the new work lasts as long as the original did.
Out in Allen Township

Avilla Questions
Can you make my small back patio bigger?
Yes. We can extend the existing slab or remove it and pour one larger patio, pitched away from the house and tied together properly.
Why is my front stoop pulling away from the house?
The ground next to a foundation is backfill and often settles. We check the base and recommend lifting, rebuilding or replacing the stoop on compacted stone.
Do you pour farm and shop slabs near Avilla?
Yes. We pour pole barn floors, shop slabs and aprons across Allen Township.
