Who We Are

We don't pour concrete to get by. We pour it to outlast the people who walk on it — proper base, proper prep, proper finish, every single job.

Shears Concrete Inc. is a licensed, bonded & insured concrete contractor serving Lake & Porter County, Indiana. For more than 28 years we've handled everything from a single residential driveway to large commercial pours — with the same care on all of them.

When Scot comes out for an estimate, he walks the job, explains the whole process, and answers every question before a truck ever shows up. Straight talk, clean work, and a finished product you'll be proud of. That's the whole pitch.

Stamped &
Decorative

Rich, sealed stamped concrete that reads like natural stone or slate — custom colors, borders and patterns that turn a plain slab into the best-looking surface on the property. Sealed to glow and built to take Indiana weather.
