Concrete work for Belgrade homes
Belgrade is a short drive from our base in Bozeman, and our crew works there on the same kinds of jobs we do at home. Our calls come from established streets inside city limits and from newer houses toward the edges of the city, and we also work in Four Corners and Livingston.
On most jobs here, the price turns on the size of the slab and how much digging the ground needs. The schedule turns on any permit question and on curing, which is the wait before the new concrete is ready to use, and your own figures come from walking the job with you. The ground matters most, because a slab stays flat only when its subgrade, the ground it rests on, has been dug out and packed instead of raked level.
What we pour in Belgrade most often
Around Belgrade, most of our calls are for flatwork, the flat pours like driveways, walks, garage floors and concrete patios, along with footings and slab foundations for new garages, shops and additions. The list below covers everything we do, and I'm glad to talk through a job that isn't on it.

What city limits and creeks mean for your slab
Inside city limits, the city reviews plans and inspects footings and foundations, so on a garage, an addition or a new foundation, those inspections are part of the schedule. We plan the pour around them from the first walk-through, so the timeline you hear from me already makes room for them.
Gallatin County's floodplain maps are built from FEMA flood maps that study selected streams, and the county notes that some flood threats fall outside them. The county lists permit requirements for grading, digging, fill and placing structures in the mapped floodplain, which is the same work a slab starts with. When a lot sits near a creek, we check the map and ask the County Planning Department at 406-582-3130 before we dig.
You'll know what the price covers before we start, and we'll move a pour date rather than rush the ground your slab sits on.

Belgrade concrete questions, answered
Here are the questions Belgrade homeowners ask us most before a pour. If yours isn't here, please call (406) 536-3025 and I'll answer it.
Who issues building permits for concrete work in Belgrade, MT?
Inside city limits, the City of Belgrade Building Department issues building permits and takes permit questions at 406-388-3560. The city accepts applications online, where you can track their status. Before work starts, we check the permit question for your address and help you through the paperwork when a permit is needed.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Belgrade?
The city's permit list doesn't settle it for flatwork, so it's a question for the Building Department before work starts. The city requires a permit to build, alter or repair a structure, and its list of exempt work names residential accessory buildings under 200 square feet, like a small shed. We put the question to the department for your job.
Does a concrete contractor need a license to work in Belgrade?
Yes. Since January 1, 2026, every construction contractor in Montana has to be licensed with the Montana Department of Labor & Industry, and the Belgrade city code requires a city license to do business inside the city. We're licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask any contractor about theirs before you hire.
How do I know if my Belgrade address is inside city limits?
The city's zoning map shows the city limits boundary, and planning staff can look up your property from its address at 406-388-3760 ext. 2. It's worth knowing early, because inside city limits the city handles permits and inspections for your job.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Belgrade?
The price turns on the slab's size and thickness, the digging and base work your ground needs, how easily a truck can reach the spot and the finish you choose. If the budget is tight, I'd keep a plain broom finish, a light texture for grip, rather than cut the base, because nobody can fix the ground once concrete is on it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like my old one did?
Concrete can still crack, but most of the cracks people dislike come from a soft base or missing joints, and we deal with both. We dig out and pack the base, add rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, where the job calls for it, and cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to form.
