Concrete Work in Markle
Markle is a small town that straddles Huntington and Wells counties along Interstate 69, and homeowners here call concrete contractors mostly for driveways, walks and garage slabs on established homes. Markle was laid out in 1836 but did not grow much until the railroad reached it, and its post office has operated since 1852. The 2020 census counted 1,071 residents and 496 housing units. We pour driveways, sidewalks, steps, patios, garage floors and outbuilding slabs.
A river at the edge of town
The Wabash River runs along the south edge of Markle, and the town sits at about 807 feet. Lots near the river can be lower and wetter than those on the north side of town. On those properties, the base under a slab and the way water leaves it matter more than anything else. We dig out soft soil, compact stone in lifts, and set the slab with a pitch that moves water away from the house and garage.
Steady town, aging concrete
Markle's population has stayed close to 1,100 since 1990. Homes do not turn over quickly here, so concrete gets old in place. Garage floors crack, walks heave, driveways get patched, and steps wear at the edges. When we quote work in town, we look at what can be saved and what truly needs replacing, and we explain why.
Two counties, one job
Because Markle is split between Huntington and Wells counties, the office that handles a permit for a garage or larger outbuilding can depend on which side of the line your property sits. We check that before we schedule.
Close to the interstate
Markle sits where I-69 meets U.S. Route 224 and State Roads 116 and 3. The easy access brings commuters who want a wider driveway or an extra parking pad, and farm owners who need slabs for shops and pole barns. We size every slab to the weight it will carry. Call (260) 300-8234 to set up a visit in Markle.

Markle Questions
Which county handles my permit in Markle?
It depends on whether your property is on the Huntington or Wells County side. We check before we schedule any work that needs a permit.
My yard near the river stays wet. Can I still have a patio?
Yes, with a deeper, well-compacted stone base and a pitch that sends water away from the house. We look at the drainage first.
Can you add a parking pad next to my driveway?
Yes. We saw-cut a clean edge and pour the pad to match the existing driveway.
