About our Sioux Falls concrete contractor
I started Sterling Sioux Falls Concrete Company in 2017 after working every summer through school on a concrete crew. We're a concrete contractor in Sioux Falls, SD, pouring driveways, patios, steps and garage floors for homeowners, and footings, slabs and lots for builders and property owners.
Why I chose concrete over a desk job
Every summer through school I worked on a concrete crew. By the time I finished, I knew I'd rather be finishing slabs than sitting at a desk, so in 2017 I started Sterling Sioux Falls Concrete Company here in Sioux Falls.
Those summers taught me something that still shapes every job. The part of a driveway or patio you look at is the top, but whether it lasts depends on what's underneath, the dug-out and packed base the slab sits on. Nobody sees the base the day we pour, so it's the first thing that gets trimmed when a bid runs tight. I'd rather spend the money there.
Concrete is hard to fix once it sets, so I ask a lot of questions and I'd rather take a few extra minutes than leave you guessing. A customer who knows why we did each step is the best way I know to earn the next job. It also beats explaining a crack later.
What you can expect when we work for you
Here's what working with us looks like from your side of the driveway. Each point comes from how I run jobs every day, from the first visit to the day we leave.
Every choice explained first
Before we pour, I go over each choice in your job in plain words, like how thick the slab will be, how we dig out and pack the base, and where we cut control joints so any crack runs along a line we picked. You'll know what you're paying for and why.
The owner stays on site
I look at your job myself, and I'm on site while our crew digs, forms, pours and finishes. That way what we talked about in your driveway is what gets built, and if a question comes up mid-pour, you're asking the person who wrote the estimate.
Written estimates you can compare
Your free estimate lists in writing what's included, from base work to finish, so you can set it beside other bids and see where they differ. If one price comes in lower, it's worth checking whether the base prep made it onto that list.
Help through the first winter
Before we leave, we show you how to look after your new concrete through its first winter. Concrete keeps curing, slowly gaining strength, well after it looks finished, so a few minutes of how-to on our last day are worth it.

How a job goes from your call to finished concrete
Here's the order we work in, so you know what's coming at each stage. What moves your price is mostly size, thickness, base work and finish, and the schedule turns on permits and curing time.
Call or send the form
Call us at (605) 305-1165 or fill out the form on our contact page, and tell us what's going on, whether it's a cracked driveway, a sinking patio or a new slab. We reply to every call and form within one business day to set up a visit.
I come out to look
I come to your place myself to look at the job, check where the water runs and ask what you need the concrete to do. The estimate is free, comes with no obligation and spells out in writing what's included, so you can compare it with other bids.
Permits and base prep
If your job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork. Rules differ between Sioux Falls and the cities around it, so we check with the office that covers your address first. Then our crew digs out and packs the base, because a slab is only as steady as what's under it.
Pour, finish and walkthrough
Our crew forms, pours and finishes the slab, and we cut the control joints early so cracks have a planned place to go. Before we pack up, I go over the care steps with you and how long to wait before you walk or drive on it.
