Frederick Concrete Company brings concrete contractor services to Gaithersburg, MD, including patio construction, driveway building, and retaining walls — serving Kentlands, Montgomery Village, and neighborhoods throughout the city with a crew that responds within one business day.
Gaithersburg homes, from the Craftsman-style houses of Kentlands to the mid-century ranches near historic downtown, sit on clay soil that makes poured concrete the most stable outdoor surface option available. We build concrete patios graded to move water away from your foundation, which is critical in this part of Montgomery County where clay does not drain quickly after heavy spring rain.
Gaithersburg driveways take repeated abuse from the same freeze-thaw cycles that crack concrete throughout Montgomery County every winter. Homes in Montgomery Village and the Lakelands communities often have driveways that date back to the 1980s and 1990s, putting them well past the typical 25-to-30-year lifespan for a poured concrete surface.
Kentlands and Lakelands homeowners frequently need exterior finishes that meet HOA appearance standards while still expressing individual style. Stamped concrete can mimic the look of brick or natural stone at a lower cost, and the color and pattern options are wide enough to satisfy most association guidelines in this area.
Properties near Seneca Creek and the wooded lots in Gaithersburg's older neighborhoods often have graded slopes that erode after heavy rain. Concrete retaining walls handle the seasonal soil movement in this area better than older wood or block alternatives, which tend to shift and fail within a decade on Montgomery County clay.
Gaithersburg's older neighborhoods near the historic downtown have sidewalks that have been lifted by tree roots or cracked by decades of freeze-thaw action. Work on City of Gaithersburg sidewalks typically requires coordination with the city's public works office, which our crew handles as part of the permit process.
Attached garages in Montgomery Village and the townhome communities throughout Gaithersburg often have original concrete floors from the 1970s and 1980s that are now pitting, cracking, or staining. Replacing or resurfacing these floors is one of the most visible interior upgrades a Gaithersburg homeowner can make before listing a property.
Gaithersburg sits on the heavy clay soils that run throughout Montgomery County, and that soil is one of the most demanding environments for concrete work in the region. Clay expands when it absorbs water and shrinks when it dries out, and that seasonal movement pushes against the underside of every slab, walkway, and retaining wall in the city. Combined with Gaithersburg winters that bring enough freeze-thaw cycles to open up even small cracks from November through March, the result is that concrete here fails faster than most homeowners expect unless the base preparation and drainage were done correctly from the start.
The housing mix in Gaithersburg adds its own layer of complexity. Planned communities like Kentlands and Montgomery Village were built to tight HOA standards that govern what materials and finishes are acceptable on exterior surfaces. Homes near the National Institute of Standards and Technology campus and along the I-270 corridor sit on lots graded by developers in the 1970s and 1980s, meaning the fill soil under those properties is often less stable than the original ground it replaced. A contractor who works regularly in Gaithersburg understands these differences and adjusts accordingly, rather than treating every slab like a blank-field pour.
Gaithersburg city properties and unincorporated Montgomery County properties are permitted through two separate offices, and getting that distinction right before submitting an application matters. City of Gaithersburg permits go through the city directly, while properties in unincorporated pockets of Montgomery County route through Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. Submitting to the wrong office can add weeks to your start date, and our crew verifies the correct jurisdiction before paperwork goes in.
On the ground, Gaithersburg is a city of distinct neighborhoods with distinct site conditions. Lots in Kentlands have smaller footprints with alley access and mature landscaping that limits equipment swing room. Montgomery Village properties from the 1970s often have drainage swales built into the original grading that need to be preserved during concrete work. The areas near Seneca Creek State Park bring wooded lots with root systems near the surface that affect how we plan base excavation. Route 355 (Rockville Pike) and I-270 define the city's main arteries, and we serve the full spread of neighborhoods on both sides.
Homeowners in Rockville, MD just to the south and in Germantown to the north share the same Montgomery County clay-soil and freeze-thaw challenges that drive most of the concrete work we do in this corridor. We cover the full stretch of the I-270 corridor for concrete projects of all sizes.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within one business day. For Gaithersburg projects, we ask upfront whether the property is inside city limits or in unincorporated Montgomery County so we can identify the right permit office from the start.
We visit the site before quoting anything. In Gaithersburg, that means checking the soil type, slope, HOA restrictions if applicable, and access for equipment. You get a written itemized estimate at the end — no verbal quotes, no surprises after you sign.
We pull the required permit before any work begins. If your neighborhood has an HOA, the homeowner handles that approval concurrently. Once permits are in hand, we schedule your job and confirm the start date — no vague "we will call you" timelines.
The crew handles excavation, base prep, forming, and the pour. Before we leave, we walk you through the curing timeline and any care instructions, and we clean the site. For decorative finishes, we return at the 30-day mark to apply sealant once the concrete has fully cured.
We serve all of Gaithersburg, MD — from Kentlands and Montgomery Village to historic downtown. Free estimates, written quotes, and permits handled for you.
(240) 971-0250Gaithersburg is one of Maryland's largest incorporated cities, with roughly 70,000 residents spread across a wide range of neighborhoods and housing types along the I-270 tech corridor in Montgomery County. The city runs from its historic downtown core, where streets date back to the 19th century and some homes predate World War II, out to large planned communities that were developed from the 1960s through the 2000s. Montgomery Village, one of the largest planned communities in the region, covers a significant portion of the city's western side and includes thousands of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos built across several decades. Kentlands and Lakelands, newer traditional-style communities built in the late 1980s and 1990s, are among the most recognizable neighborhoods in the area and are known for their walkable layout and active HOA governance. You can read more about the city's history and neighborhoods on Gaithersburg's Wikipedia page.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains a major campus in Gaithersburg, making it one of the city's most recognizable institutional anchors. Seneca Creek State Park runs through and around the city, providing green space and watershed drainage that affects site conditions on many residential lots near its edges. The city's housing stock ranges from modest 1960s split-levels to newer luxury townhomes, and each segment has its own maintenance patterns and concrete service needs. Homeowners in nearby Germantown, MD and Rockville, MD face similar soil and climate conditions, and we serve all three communities as part of our regular coverage area.
