Serving White Plains, NY and surrounding areas. (914) 348-4177
White Plains Concrete Company handles concrete driveways, patios, steps, and foundations in Yonkers, NY. We work on the older properties that make up most of this city - tight lots, aging bases, and all the freeze-thaw wear that decades of hard winters leave behind. Licensed, insured, and responding within one business day.
Many Yonkers homeowners have compact backyards that go mostly unused because there is no defined outdoor surface. Even a modest poured concrete patio creates a usable space for your family - and unlike wood decking, it will not rot, warp, or need repainting after a few Westchester winters. See our full details on concrete patio construction to learn how we plan drainage and sizing for smaller lots.
Yonkers driveways take a beating from 25 inches of annual snowfall, road salt, and the city's heavy vehicle traffic. Many of the driveways we replace in Yonkers are original to homes built in the 1940s through 1960s - concrete poured thin, without reinforcement, and now showing decades of freeze-thaw deterioration. Replacement with a properly reinforced, correctly graded slab is almost always more cost-effective than continued patching.
Cracked or heaved front steps are one of the most common concrete problems we see on older Yonkers properties. The combination of age, freeze-thaw cycles, and deferred maintenance means most original stoops on pre-1960 homes are past the point where repair makes sense. We pour new reinforced steps that meet current city standards and stay solid through hard winters.
Yonkers is built on hilly terrain, and many properties - especially in the northwestern neighborhoods toward Crestwood and Dunwoodie - have slopes that lose soil to every rainstorm. A concrete retaining wall controls that erosion, creates usable flat space on a grade, and stops the slow expansion of muddy areas onto walkways and driveways.
Yonkers holds property owners responsible for maintaining the sidewalks adjacent to their homes. A cracked or raised sidewalk panel is a liability - and in a dense city where foot traffic is constant, the risk of a trip-and-fall claim is real. We replace damaged sidewalk sections with properly poured, city-compliant concrete that ties in cleanly to the surrounding grade.
Yonkers is the fourth-largest city in New York State, with about 211,000 residents in under 18 square miles. Most of the housing stock was built before 1960 - many homes date to the late 1800s and early 1900s - which means original driveways, steps, and foundations that have been through anywhere from 60 to 120 winters. Yonkers averages around 25 inches of snow per year and sees frequent freeze-thaw cycles throughout the winter months. That repeated freeze-and-thaw movement is what cracks concrete driveways, crumbles front steps, and shifts foundation walls on older properties. A contractor working in Yonkers needs to account for that history and those conditions in how they spec the job - the right concrete mix, the right base depth, and the right reinforcement for what a Yonkers winter will actually do to the finished surface.
The city's tight lots add another layer of complexity. Many Yonkers properties - particularly in the southwestern and central neighborhoods - have narrow driveways, close neighbors, and limited staging space for equipment and materials. In some blocks, the only vehicle access is from the street with a narrow opening. A contractor who plans every Yonkers job expecting open suburban lot conditions is going to create problems - broken fences, damaged lawns, unhappy neighbors - that would have been avoidable with better site planning during the estimate. We assess equipment access on every Yonkers property before we commit to a schedule.
We pull permits through the Yonkers Building Department and are familiar with the city's requirements for concrete flatwork, steps, and retaining walls. The permit process in Yonkers differs from White Plains in review timelines and inspector scheduling - knowing those differences from direct experience means we can give you a realistic start-date estimate rather than an optimistic one that gets pushed back.
The Yonkers properties we work on most often are brick two-family homes and wood-frame single-families in the older southwestern and central neighborhoods, and larger single-family homes in the quieter sections toward Crestwood and up near the Bronxville border. The two-families frequently have shared driveways and narrow equipment access - we plan for that during the estimate. If you are near the waterfront, the additional moisture exposure from the Hudson River means sealing is even more important for long-term surface protection.
Homeowners in Mount Vernon, which borders Yonkers to the northeast, often contact us with similar older-home concrete needs - we serve that area regularly as well. And for White Plains residents who have found this page, our base is in White Plains, just a short drive north.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within one business day to schedule an in-person visit to your Yonkers property. We do not quote concrete work from photos - conditions on the ground matter too much, especially on the older lots common throughout the city.
We come to your property, measure the work area, assess the existing base and drainage, and ask about your goals and timeline. You receive a written estimate that breaks out every line item - no vague totals that balloon later. We address any cost questions here, not after the job starts.
We pull the required Yonkers building permit before work begins and manage all city paperwork on your behalf. Permit processing typically adds one to two weeks to the start date - we build that into the schedule and keep you informed. You do not need to visit the Building Department.
Our crew completes the project and we coordinate the city inspection before closing out the job. After the concrete reaches full strength - around 28 days - we recommend sealing the surface to protect it through Yonkers winters. We are available by phone if you have questions after we finish.

(914) 348-4177Yonkers is the fourth-largest city in New York State, sitting directly north of the Bronx with a Hudson River waterfront that stretches several miles. The city is served by Metro-North Railroad, with trains reaching Grand Central Terminal in about 30 minutes. The Untermyer Park and Gardens on the Hudson is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, and MGM Empire City Casino at the former Yonkers Raceway has been a fixture in the city since 1899. You can read more about Yonkers on its Wikipedia page. The city is divided into distinct neighborhoods: the southwestern areas near the waterfront have dense rowhouses and multi-family buildings, the northwestern sections toward Crestwood and Dunwoodie have more single-family homes on small lots, and the northeastern areas near Bronxville have larger homes with more yard space.
About 35% of Yonkers households own their homes, many in properties that have not been significantly updated in decades. A large share of the housing stock dates to before World War II - brick rowhouses, wood-frame two-families, and stone-foundation single-family homes that have been through 80 or more winters. These are the properties where concrete driveways, front steps, and sidewalks have reached the end of their useful life and need proper replacement, not just patching. We also serve the neighboring city of Mount Vernon, which has similar older housing stock and faces many of the same concrete maintenance challenges as Yonkers.
