R. Clark Concrete, located at 7535 Ridge Avenue, is a family business specializing in masonry, concrete, and carpentry. Born and raised in Roxborough, Richard Clark got into the concrete business the old-fashioned way.

“I went to college in Alabama and worked in the concrete business while I was a student there,” said Rick Clark. “I liked it and started my own business in 1979 in Roxborough while completing my degree at Temple University.”

Today Clark's son works alongside him - following his father's footsteps of attending college and then working in the family business. “My son, Bradley, graduated with an engineering degree from University of Pittsburgh and works with me, providing important insights. Bradley has a strong work ethic and has been in the business since 2011.”

Clark’s daughter, Jessica, runs the office in addition to her full-time job as archivist for the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. The only family member not in the business is Clark’s other son, a Navy engineer of whom he is very proud.

Clark fondly recalls the neighborhood’s past. “I remember when Roxborough was a farming community with horses and livestock. My grandparents managed a farm that is now the YMCA. My son now lives in the house I grew up in on the Ridge,” said Clark, who built a home for himself in Andorra.

“We do residential and industrial work, including with Baker Street Partners in Roxborough and Manayunk,” said Clark. “We also did Saint Lucy’s Church and Parish House. I meet a lot of interesting people in my work.”
