Driveways, patios and slabs for Florin homes
Most calls start with something you can see: a driveway cracked clean through, a patio holding water by the back door, a walk that's gone uneven. Concrete is honest and shows every shortcut sooner or later. Usually the shortcut sits in the subgrade, the dirt the slab rests on, when it was raked level instead of packed, so the slab sank right along with it.
We're based in Davis and work the cities around it, so Florin gets the same crew we send to Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Arden-Arcade. Price moves with the size, how much old concrete comes out, the base work and the finish you pick. Timing turns on prep, pour-day weather and curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength, and the estimate gives you your own figures.
Florin is a community in Sacramento County, and county rules shape home work there, which is why the permit answer below points to the county. We're licensed and fully insured, and in California that license comes from the Contractors State License Board after an applicant passes two exams, one on law and business and one on the trade.
What we pour in Florin
Concrete driveway building
If your driveway has cracked through or sunk at the garage, we tear it out and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A patio that pools water by the back door needs a new slab sloped away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped patterns pressed into fresh concrete give a patio or walk the look of stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
For a front walk that's heaved or chipped enough to trip on, we break it out and pour it level.
Garage floor concrete
Worth redoing when a garage slab has cracked, settled or flakes dust every time you sweep it.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone or a scored pattern makes sense when the concrete is the first thing visitors see.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or dirt keeps creeping onto the patio, a poured wall holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions and outbuildings, set flat enough for whatever floor goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs a surface bare feet can grip and a slope that sends splash water away.
Concrete steps construction
If entry steps have pulled away from the house or crumbled at the edges, we pour new ones.
Slab foundation building
A new garage, shed or addition starts with a slab foundation, and that's where the base work counts most.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes and additions, formed and poured to the plans so the framing starts on something square.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners with a lot that's broken up or ponds after rain, we pour concrete built for traffic.
Concrete footings
Posts, walls and patio covers need footings, the buried concrete pads that carry the weight down into firm ground.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has settled and doors start sticking, raising it can level things before cracks spread.
Concrete cutting
A doorway, trench or clean edge in existing concrete gets saw-cut straight, so nothing breaks past the line.

Questions Florin homeowners ask
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Florin?
It can, and the office to ask is Sacramento County's Division of Building Permits and Inspection, which issues the county's building permits. We check with the office for your address, and if your driveway, patio or slab needs a permit, we take care of it as part of the work.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
It'll crack somewhere, because concrete does, but it should crack where we planned instead of across the middle. On top of the packed base, we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before the slab picks its own spot. If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish, not the base.
How much can a contractor ask for as a down payment in California?
A contractor can't ask for or take more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Every payment after that has to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered, and the state board applies those rules to all home improvement jobs.
How do I find out if my Florin property is in a flood zone?
Call the county's Flood Zone Hotline at (916) 874-7517, which answers that for parcels in the unincorporated county. The county's map information service can also give base flood elevations and copies of elevation certificates on file, if it has them. It's worth knowing before a slab foundation or footings go in.
