Driveways, patios and slabs for Arden-Arcade homes
We've poured concrete out of Davis since 2013 and work the cities around it, with Arden-Arcade, West Sacramento and Rancho Cordova among them. Calls usually start with something you can see, like a driveway that's dropped at one corner or a patio holding water against the house. The cause tends to be underneath, in a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed.
Most of Arden-Arcade is unincorporated Sacramento County, though part sits inside Sacramento city limits, so the first thing I check is which office covers your address. Tree shade is thinner here than in a lot of the region and the heat hits hard, so on hot days we pour early and keep the slab damp while it cures, the slow set before you can use it, which keeps the top from drying out weak and dusty.
Price turns on the slab's size and thickness, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish. Timing turns on permits, weather and the cure, and you'll walk on it before you park on it. If money's tight, cut the finish, not the base, because nobody sees the base but the slab settles with it. Your own number comes from the estimate.
What we pour in Arden-Arcade
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk, cracked or started holding water by the garage, we tear it out and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A back patio poured to fall away from the house, so rain heads for the yard instead of your foundation.
Stamped concrete services
For the look of stone or brick without loose pavers, we press the pattern into the fresh concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways and side paths that have heaved or tipped, replaced so nobody catches a toe on a raised edge.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is cracked, stained past saving or pitched the wrong way, we break it out and repour it.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and scored patterns, for when plain gray isn't what you had in mind.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope keeps pushing dirt onto a patio or walk, a poured wall with drainage behind it holds it back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for additions, shops and workspaces, set level and smooth for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks finished for grip when wet and sloped to send splash water away from the pool.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps rebuilt with every rise the same height, so nobody misjudges the last one.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for an addition or garage, poured on a base we dig out and pack first.
Foundation installation
New foundations for additions and outbuildings, formed and set to the plans before the truck shows up.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners with a bigger lot, we pour parking areas thick enough for the traffic and graded to drain.
Concrete footings
Footings for decks, patio covers, walls and posts, sized for the load so whatever sits on top stays put.
Foundation raising
If part of a slab has dropped, we find out why before lifting it, or it just drops again.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for doorways, plumbing trenches or pulling out a broken section without cracking what stays.

Questions before you pour in Arden-Arcade
Do I need a permit to pour a driveway or patio in Arden-Arcade?
The county's list of typical permit work doesn't name driveways or patios, so we check with the office for your address and take care of the permit if the job needs one. For unincorporated addresses, county policy says work that needs a permit can't start until it's issued, and inspectors can stop a job that starts early.
Does a concrete contractor in Arden-Arcade need a California license?
Yes, if the labor and materials come to $1,000 or more, the job needs a building permit or the contractor has employees on it, the state licensing board requires a license. Home improvement contractors also have to be licensed before they bid. We're licensed and fully insured.
How do I find out if my Arden-Arcade home is in a flood zone?
For an unincorporated address, call the county's Flood Zone Hotline at (916) 874-7517, one of the ways the county lists. It's worth knowing before a new slab goes in, because a local civic group notes minor flooding along the area's creeks, and that shapes how we grade around it.
Will a new concrete driveway crack like my old one?
It can, because concrete cracks, but ours should crack where we planned instead of wherever it likes. We pack the base so the slab doesn't settle and cut control joints early, grooves that give a crack a straight line. Where the load calls for it, we add rebar, steel inside the slab that keeps a crack from spreading.
