Crete sits on the edge of Lincoln's gently rolling loess hills, where the Big Blue River cuts through terrain that shifts and settles with every freeze-thaw cycle. Your home in ZIP 68333, whether it's a vintage brick cottage near the river or a newer subdivision property on the high ground, is built on silty clay that heaves, shrinks, and moves with the seasons, and that movement cracks driveways, buckles sidewalks, and pulls concrete apart at the joints.
That's why homeowners and property managers in Crete call Lincoln Concrete. We've spent years repairing and replacing concrete across the Lincoln area, and we know exactly how the Nebraska winters and spring thaws damage the surfaces around your home. When your driveway is cracked and spalling from salt and freeze cycles, when your front walk has settled and become a trip hazard, or when you need a new patio or garage floor that will hold up, we show up with the expertise and the crew to get it right the first time.
Concrete in Crete (68333)
Crete's terrain is deceptive. The silty clay loam and clay subsoils beneath your property are prone to shrink-swell, which means your concrete slabs and sidewalks are in constant, subtle motion. Winter brings dozens of freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and de-icing salt that scale and spall unsealed driveways. Spring runoff saturates the ground and pushes slabs upward. Summer heat and violent thunderstorms add stress. The result: cracked driveways, heaved and uneven sidewalks, settling garage floors, and foundation slabs that pull apart at the joints. We've seen it all, and we know how to fix it so it stays fixed.
Our team has been serving Crete and the surrounding Lincoln area for years. We understand the specific challenges of your neighborhood, the lot sizes and access constraints, the HOA rules, and the local permit requirements. We show up on time, we do the work right, and we leave your property clean.

How a Job Works in Crete
First, we come to your property in Crete for a free on-site assessment. We look at the concrete, the drainage, the grade, the access, and the scope of the work. We listen to what you need and what you're concerned about. We answer your questions and give you a realistic estimate in writing, with no surprises later.
Then we schedule the work at a time that works for you. If your property has a narrow alley-fed garage or tight lot access, we plan accordingly. If you need a local permit (and Crete and Lincoln do require permits for driveway and sidewalk work), we coordinate with the city and handle the paperwork. We show up with our crew and equipment, do the job to code, and manage the site so your neighbors aren't disrupted.
Finally, we clean up completely, haul away the old concrete if we're doing a removal and replacement, and do a final walkthrough with you. Your property looks better than before, and the work is backed by our reputation and our insurance.
Concrete work in Crete ranges widely depending on what you need. A concrete driveway or patio typically starts at 6 dollars per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete runs from 10 dollars per square foot. Concrete repair and resurfacing, which is often the right choice for an aging driveway or sidewalk, starts at 3 dollars per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, useful for settling driveways and uneven walks, begins at 4 dollars per square foot. A full removal and replacement of damaged concrete runs from 7 dollars per square foot. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend for Crete's harsh freeze-thaw environment, starts at 75 cents per square foot. The final price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing concrete, site access, soil conditions, and how quickly you need the work done.
