Driveways, patios and slabs for Dixon homes
When a driveway has sunk at one corner, a patio holds water against the house or a slab has cracked in a line nobody chose, the trouble usually started underneath. I learned that running crews for another contractor around here before I started this outfit in 2013. So we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before any concrete shows up.
Water is the other thing to plan for. The City of Dixon checks flood zone status address by address, and weather averages for nearby Vacaville show 24.53 inches of rain a year, a fair guide for Dixon. Before we set forms, we look at where water runs on your lot, so the new slab falls away from the house instead of toward it.
We're a concrete contractor in Davis, and we work the cities around it, Winters included. The price moves with the size, the old concrete coming out, how much base the ground needs and the finish. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather and curing, which is the wait while new concrete gains strength before you walk or drive on it. I do the walk-through myself, and the estimate gives you your number.
Concrete work we do in Dixon
Concrete driveway building
When the old driveway has sunk or pools water by the garage, we replace it from the base up.
Concrete patio construction
If the yard is bare or the old patio has cracked, we pour one that sheds rain away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
If plain gray won't do, stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways and front paths that have heaved or tipped, replaced so nobody catches a toe on the seam.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked, stained or uneven garage floor, broken out and repoured on a packed base.
Decorative concrete
Color, texture or a custom border, for when the concrete is part of how the yard looks.
Concrete retaining walls
When a slope keeps sliding onto the patio or lawn, a poured wall on a proper footing holds it back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for a shop, addition or outbuilding, poured flat and level so the floor finish goes down clean.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we pour a deck with grip underfoot that drains away from the water and the house.
Concrete steps construction
Cracked or settled front steps, rebuilt so every step is the same height.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for a new house, addition or garage, with steel rebar placed to hold it together.
Foundation installation
When you're building, we form and pour the foundation the framers build on, square and true to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Larger lots for property owners and builders, laid out so water and traffic both go where they should.
Concrete footings
Footings for a wall, post or addition, dug to the size the plans call for and poured solid.
Foundation raising
If a slab or foundation has settled out of level, we raise it back before the cracks spread.
Concrete cutting
When you need a trench, opening or clean edge through old concrete, we saw-cut it instead of busting it up.

Common questions about concrete in Dixon
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Dixon?
It can depend on the job, and the city's permit lists name structures and exempt work, not driveways or patios, so we check first. A city staff report also said Dixon planned to keep its local code amendments on concrete driveways and slabs. We ask the building division about your address, and if a permit is needed, we take care of it.
Does a shed or shop on a new slab in Dixon need a permit?
It does if it's over 120 square feet or attached to the house, under the city's rules for non-living spaces. A single-story building of 120 square feet or less with no plumbing, mechanical or electrical is listed as not needing one. We check how that applies before we pour the slab under it.
Does a concrete retaining wall in Dixon need a building permit?
Not if it's 4 feet or less, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, according to the city's list of exempt work. That ends if the wall holds up an added load, such as a driveway above it, or holds back certain liquids, and zoning can still apply. Taller walls need a permit, and we handle it as part of the job.
When does a concrete contractor need a California license?
The California Contractors State License Board requires one when a project needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Dixon also requires an active state license and a city business license from any contractor who files a permit application there. We're licensed and fully insured.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
It may crack, because concrete does, but the aim is for the cracks to land in the control joints, not across the middle. Old driveways usually fail from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or from joints cut late or skipped. That's where we spend our time.
