Serving Woodward, OK and surrounding areas. (580) 290-2465
Woodward Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Fargo, OK and Ellis County with sidewalks, driveways, slab foundations, and flatwork for rural homes and farm properties. We make the drive to Fargo, we know the local soil conditions, and we do the job right the first time.
Fargo properties - especially older homes on larger lots - often have sidewalks and walkways that have buckled or crumbled after decades of Ellis County freeze-thaw cycles. We replace them level and properly jointed so they flex with the seasons instead of cracking again. See our concrete sidewalk building service.
Many Fargo properties are on large rural lots where a gravel driveway has been the only option for years. A poured concrete driveway handles farm trucks and heavy equipment better than gravel, stays in place during rainstorms, and eliminates the seasonal gravel-spreading that adds up in time and cost.
Outbuildings, shops, and storage structures on Fargo farm properties need a solid concrete slab to keep equipment off dirt floors and to anchor the structure against wind. We pour slabs sized for whatever you are building - from a small equipment shed to a full working shop.
Fargo summers are hot and open, and a concrete patio off the back of your house gives you a usable outdoor space that won't turn to mud after a storm. We slope every patio away from the foundation so rain drains away from the structure rather than pooling against the wall.
Any structure you add to your Fargo property - a fence, a carport, a barn addition - needs footings that go deep enough to sit below the frost line for Ellis County winters. Shallow footings heave when the ground freezes and create problems that are expensive to fix after the fact.
Older Fargo homes often have front entry steps that have settled or cracked away from the porch over the years. Crumbling steps are a safety hazard and a sign that the base soil has shifted. We replace them properly anchored so the new steps move with the structure rather than away from it.
Fargo sits in Ellis County on semi-arid land that swings hard between drought and heavy rain. The soil here - a mix of sandy loam and silty deposits across the area - compacts differently than the clay-heavy ground closer to Woodward. During dry stretches, sandy soils lose their bearing and can allow slabs to settle unevenly. When the rains return, water moves quickly and can undercut a slab that was not set on a properly prepared base. Most homes in and around Fargo were built in the mid-20th century or earlier, which means driveways, sidewalks, and foundation slabs are often well past their service life and showing the results of decades without maintenance.
Ellis County winters bring hard freezes that push the ground several inches deep, and that frost pressure lifts and cracks concrete from below. Every summer, temperatures top 95 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks at a time and the intense sun breaks down surface sealers faster than in cooler climates. The area is also well within Tornado Alley, and spring hailstorms can damage unprotected concrete surfaces. A contractor who works regularly in this part of northwest Oklahoma understands all of these variables and builds them into how they prepare the base, place the mix, and finish the surface.
Our crew works throughout Fargo regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Fargo is a compact community in Ellis County, located along U.S. Highway 283, the main north-south route through this part of Oklahoma. Most properties in town are single-family homes on larger-than-average lots, and many include a detached garage, a shop building, or outbuildings used for storage or farm equipment. Jobs here often involve multiple poured surfaces on a single property, not just one slab.
The Black Kettle National Grassland that spreads across Ellis County is a reminder of how open and wind-exposed this landscape is. That wind matters when we are pouring - afternoon pours on windy days dry too fast on the surface, which leads to cracking. We plan our schedule and wind-blocking on every Fargo job specifically because of this. Many properties we work on here also have equipment access needs - farm trucks, trailers, and tractors - that require us to build for heavier loads than a standard residential driveway spec would require.
We also serve nearby Gage and other Ellis County communities. For permit and code questions in this area, Ellis County residents can reach out to county officials or check with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce for local building authority contacts.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within one business day. We'll ask about the project type, approximate size, and your property location in the Fargo area so we can plan the site visit.
We come out to your property in Fargo at no charge and measure the area, check soil and drainage conditions, and talk through the project with you. You receive a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any site prep - no guesswork on price.
We handle all excavation, forming, base compaction, and reinforcement before the concrete truck arrives. Our crew places and finishes the pour the same day in most cases, and we protect the surface from wind and sun during the initial cure.
We return to remove forms and do a final walk with you once the concrete has cured enough to inspect. We confirm the surface, joints, and drainage are correct before we consider the job done.
We serve Fargo and Ellis County. Tell us about your project and we will get back to you within one business day.
(580) 290-2465Fargo is a small community in Ellis County in the northwestern corner of Oklahoma, situated along U.S. Highway 283 in a part of the state defined by wide-open plains, wheat farming, and cattle ranching. The town has a population of fewer than 400 people and is one of the more remote communities in the region. Most residents are long-term owners who have deep ties to the land and the community. The nearest sizable city, Woodward, is roughly 45 miles north. Ellis County as a whole covers more than 1,200 square miles with fewer than 4,000 residents, which makes Fargo feel genuinely isolated in the best way - everybody knows everybody, and a contractor who does poor work will hear about it quickly.
The housing stock in Fargo is mostly single-family homes built in the mid-20th century, sitting on large lots that often include a detached garage, a storage building, or working farm structures. The Black Kettle National Grassland spans a significant portion of Ellis County and shapes the open, wind-swept character of the area that every Fargo resident knows well. Concrete work here is practical and driven by necessity - homeowners need surfaces that hold up to farm equipment, winter freezes, and summer heat - not decorative upgrades. We also serve communities near Fargo including Mooreland and the surrounding Ellis County region.
