Bethany Concrete for a Fast-Growing Community

Bethany grew by more than half in a single decade, and most of the homeowners who call concrete contractors in Bethany live in houses built in the last 30 years. The unincorporated community in Washington County had 20,646 residents in 2010 and 31,350 in 2020, with 11,159 housing units. We pour patios, driveways, walks and slabs for those homes and repair concrete that has started to settle.

Swiss roots

Bethany's first settler was Ulrich Gerber, who came from Switzerland in the mid-1870s. He helped establish the first post office in 1878 and suggested the name Bethany. The name first applied to a crossroads trading center about two miles northeast of today's community, where a Presbyterian church still stands. Today the area is mostly residential, and its streets are much newer than its name.

What newer homes need

Most Bethany homes came with a builder driveway and a modest patio. The jobs we see most often are about adding space: a bigger patio for outdoor dining, a covered patio slab, a walk along the side yard to the back gate, a pad for a hot tub or shed. Decorative finishes are popular too, such as stamped patterns at the entry or a colored border on a patio.

We also see early settling. On newer homes, backfill around the foundation is a common weak spot. A patio or garage apron poured over loose fill can drop an inch or more within a few years. We check the base before we pour anything new, and we cut out and replace settled panels on properly compacted material.

County rules in an unincorporated area

Bethany is not a city, so Washington County handles permits for work in road rights-of-way, like driveway approaches and public sidewalks. The county says sidewalks and landscaping are typically maintained by adjacent property owners unless the county installed them as part of a county project. If your HOA has its own rules for patios, colors or placement, send those along and we will design within them.

At about 266 feet, Bethany sits a little higher than the valley floor, with rolling ground in places. We set grade so every slab drains away from the house and toward the yard or street. In a wet climate, that one detail does more to make concrete last than anything else.

Planning for future plans

A lot of Bethany owners are planning a patio cover, pergola or outdoor kitchen down the road. If that is on your list, tell us at the estimate. We can thicken the slab or add footings where posts will land, run conduit under the slab for lighting or power, and size the patio for the furniture you plan to use. Building that in now costs far less than cutting into a finished slab later.

Hot tubs and pads

Hot tub pads are one of our most common Bethany jobs. A filled tub is very heavy, so the pad needs a level, well-compacted base, the right thickness and a location the delivery crew can reach.

Bethany Questions

Can you extend the patio that came with my Bethany home?

Yes. We can add on to the existing slab or replace it with one larger pour, depending on its condition and grade.

Why is my newer garage apron sinking?

Loose backfill near the foundation or curb is a common cause. We replace the settled section on a properly compacted base.

Who handles permits for approach work in Bethany?

Bethany is unincorporated, so Washington County handles right-of-way permits. We check the requirements before we schedule.

Can you add conduit under a new Bethany patio?

Yes. If you plan lighting, a heater or an outdoor kitchen, we can run conduit under the slab before the pour so you do not have to cut it later.
