Residential
Driveways, patios, retaining walls, and new foundations—installed with precision and care for Southeast Iowa homeowners.

At Jim Barton Construction, we provide residential concrete, foundation, and structural services that protect your home, improve its function, and add long-term value.
Our Residential Services
Retaining Walls
Water and soil movement can erode yards, create uneven ground, and even threaten nearby foundations. Retaining walls provide the stability needed to protect your property while also improving its usability. We build:
Structural Walls – Engineered with proper footing, reinforcement, and drainage systems to hold back soil and resist hydrostatic pressure. These walls are built to perform under heavy loads and challenging site conditions.
Decorative Walls – Designed with the same structural care but finished to complement landscaping. They improve curb appeal while still providing effective erosion control.
Concrete Driveways, Patios & Sidewalks
Concrete is only as good as the preparation that goes into it. Our team ensures correct slope, reinforcement, and finishing for:
Driveways
Designed to withstand heavy vehicle loads with proper base compaction, reinforcement, and slope. We build driveways that resist cracking and hold up year after year.
Patios
Available in smooth or decorative stamped finishes, our patios are poured with correct drainage and reinforcement, giving you a low-maintenance space that’s both attractive and functional.
Sidewalks & Walkways
Even surfaces built with durable concrete and careful finishing to prevent trip hazards and withstand Iowa’s freeze–thaw cycles.
New House Foundations
Every home depends on the strength of its foundation, and cutting corners here can lead to cracks, uneven floors, and costly structural issues down the road.
At Jim Barton Construction, we handle every phase of foundation work with precision and strict code compliance—starting with footings that are properly sized, reinforced, and poured to support the entire structure.
We build poured concrete walls designed to withstand soil pressure and keep water out, and we finish with reinforced, level slabs that provide a stable base for every living space.
The result is a rock-solid foundation that ensures your new home begins—and stays—on stable ground for generations.
