Driveways, patios and slabs for Fairfield homes
Most calls start with something you can see, a driveway cracked across, a patio sunk at one corner, or water pooling against the house. The cause is usually underneath, a base raked level instead of dug out and packed. When a budget gets tight, I'd rather spend it on the base and go plainer on the finish, because a fancy top on bad ground cracks just the same.
We're based in Davis and work in the cities around it, from Woodland and Winters out to Roseville and Elk Grove, with Fairfield, Vacaville and Dixon on the list too. Inside Fairfield, the city's Building Safety Division reviews new construction and changes to existing structures, so we check with the city for your address and handle any permit as part of the job.
The price moves with the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish. A broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. The schedule turns on our calendar, the weather, any permit and how long the slab has to cure. You get your own number at the estimate.
Concrete work we do in Fairfield
Concrete driveway building
If your driveway has cracked across or sunk where the car sits, we tear it out and rebuild from the base.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio sloped away from the house, so rain heads for the yard instead of your foundation.
Stamped concrete services
For a patio or walk that looks like stone or brick but pours and cleans like concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways that have lifted, tilted or turned into a trip hazard get replaced with even, jointed concrete.

Concrete footings

Foundation raising

Fairfield concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Fairfield?
The city's homeowner guidance says a driveway under 30 inches high needs no building permit, but a Public Works encroachment permit is needed if the work alters the sidewalk. Since a driveway usually meets the sidewalk at the street, we check with the city for your address and take care of any permit as part of the job.
When does a concrete contractor need a California state license?
The Contractors State License Board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. Almost any driveway, patio or slab clears that mark. K&S Davis Concrete is licensed and fully insured.
Does a contractor need a Fairfield city business license?
Yes. The City of Fairfield requires a business license for anyone doing business inside city limits, and that includes contractors and their subcontractors. The contractor is the one responsible for making sure every sub has a license, so it's a fair question to ask before anyone starts on your driveway.
Will a new concrete driveway or patio in Fairfield crack?
Probably somewhere, because concrete cracks, so we decide where. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, and cut them early before the slab picks its own spot. The rest is underneath, a base dug out and packed so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt.
How long until I can drive on my new concrete driveway?
Not right away, and you'll be walking on it well before you park on it. Curing is the stretch after the pour when concrete keeps hardening, and driving on it too early is how edges chip and corners break. I'll give you the wait for your slab at the estimate.
