Hickman's newer subdivisions south of Lincoln are booming with fresh construction, and that means new driveways, patios, and garage floors that need to be done right the first time. We're Lincoln Concrete, and we've been building and repairing concrete for homeowners and contractors across Lincoln and the surrounding area for years, including the growing neighborhoods here in ZIP 68372.

If you're in one of Hickman's newer developments, or if you own property anywhere in this area, you know the terrain here sits on silty clay loam with real shrink-swell potential. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter, heavy spring saturation, and the occasional violent summer storm mean your concrete needs to be installed with local conditions in mind. That's why homeowners in Hickman call us: we understand the ground, the weather, and what it takes to build concrete that lasts.

Concrete in Hickman (68372)

Hickman sits on gently rolling terrain with clay subsoils that move with the seasons. Winter brings hard freezes and dozens of freeze-thaw cycles, plus de-icing salt that scales and spalls unsealed concrete. Spring thaw saturates the ground, and summer thunderstorms with large hail and high humidity put stress on any slab or walkway. The most common problem we see here is concrete that settles unevenly, cracks at joints, or spalls on the surface because it wasn't sealed or wasn't built to handle the local freeze-thaw cycle.

Hickman's newer subdivisions have wide driveways, three-car garages, and generous backyard spaces on freshly graded lots. Lot access is usually good, but we always check grade, drainage, and site conditions before we quote. We've installed hundreds of driveways and patios in subdivisions like these across Lincoln, and we know how to coordinate with builders, HOAs, and city inspectors to get the job done on schedule and to code.

How a Job Works in Hickman

First, we schedule a free on-site visit. We'll walk your property, measure the area, check the grade and drainage, look at soil conditions, and talk through what you want. If you need a city permit (most driveways and significant patios in Hickman do), we'll advise you on that and help you understand the timeline. We'll give you a detailed estimate in writing, with a price per square foot and a total.

When we're ready to build, our crew shows up with the right equipment for the job. We'll set forms, prepare the base, handle any necessary grading or fill, pour the concrete, finish it to your specs (smooth, broom finish, stamped, or polished), and manage curing time. If your lot is tight or access is limited, we know how to work around that. We coordinate with your neighbors and the city if needed, and we respect your property and your time.

When we're done, we remove all debris, clean up the site, and do a final walkthrough with you. You'll have clean concrete ready to use, and we'll give you care instructions so it stays in great shape for years.

In Hickman, a typical new driveway runs from 6 dollars per square foot for standard gray concrete, which usually totals between 1,800 and 3,500 dollars for a two or three-car driveway depending on size and site conditions. Patios start at the same 6 dollars per square foot. If you want stamped or decorative concrete, plan on 10 dollars per square foot or more. Repair and resurfacing jobs, like fixing spalling or cracking on an older driveway, start at 3 dollars per square foot. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend in Hickman to protect against freeze-thaw damage and salt, runs about 75 cents per square foot. Cost depends on the total square footage, site access, existing conditions, how urgently you need it done, and whether you need a permit. Call us at (531) 530-3730 for a free estimate. We'll give you a realistic number based on your actual property.

We just bought a new home in one of Hickman's subdivisions south of town. Do we need a permit for a driveway?

Yes, in most cases. Hickman and Lincoln require a driveway permit, and you'll need to meet city setback and width limits and comply with curb cut and right-of-way requirements. We handle that paperwork and coordinate with the city. It typically adds a week or two to the timeline, but it's the right way to do it.

A hailstorm last summer left cracks and spalling on our new driveway. Is this covered, and can you fix it?

Hail damage is tough, and it happens here. Whether your homeowner's insurance covers it depends on your policy, but we can definitely repair it. Spalling and cracking need to be addressed soon, especially before another freeze-thaw cycle makes it worse. Call us at (531) 530-3730 and we'll assess the damage and give you repair options and pricing.

What's the ballpark cost for a patio in Hickman?

A typical 200 to 400 square foot backyard patio runs between 1,200 and 2,400 dollars at our standard 6 dollars per square foot rate for finished concrete. Stamped or decorative finishes cost more, usually 10 dollars per square foot or higher. Grading, drainage, and site prep can affect the final price, so a site visit and free estimate is the best way to know.

Does Hickman require ADA compliance for a concrete walkway or ramp?

If the walkway or ramp is part of a commercial property or a public access route, yes, ADA compliance is required. Residential driveways and patios are generally not subject to ADA rules, but we always build to good standards and can advise you on slope, width, and surface finish. Check with the city or your HOA if you're unsure.

Our HOA has strict rules about driveway appearance. Can you work with that?

Absolutely. We work with HOAs all the time in Hickman and across Lincoln. Bring us your HOA guidelines, and we'll make sure the concrete meets their standards for color, finish, width, and any other requirements. We'll also coordinate with the HOA if needed before we start.

Are you fully insured for work at our Hickman property?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every job. You're protected, and so are we. We'll provide proof of insurance before we start work.

Our driveway is cracked and settling unevenly. Should we replace it, or can you level it?

It depends on how bad it is. If the concrete is structurally sound but just settled, we can often lift and level it using concrete leveling and slab lifting, which starts at 4 dollars per square foot and is much cheaper than replacement. If the concrete is cracked, spalling, or too far gone, removal and replacement at 7 dollars per square foot might be the better long-term choice. We'll assess it in person and give you both options.
