Driveways, patios and slabs for West Sacramento homes
Most West Sacramento calls start with something you can see. A driveway cracked across the middle, a patio that's sunk toward the house, water pooling where it shouldn't. Usually the trouble is underneath, where somebody raked the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, level instead of digging it out and packing it, so the slab settled right along with the dirt.
The city notes that groundwater in the region rises and falls, somewhere between six and sixteen feet below the surface, and nobody controls it. That's one more reason I check where the water runs on your lot before we set a form, because a slab that falls toward the house is a problem you pay for every time it rains.
We're based in Davis and cover West Sacramento the same way we cover Woodland, Dixon and the other cities around us. Price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, any old concrete coming out and how much base work your ground needs. Timing turns on permits, weather and the cure, and the walk-through estimate gives you your own number.
What we pour in West Sacramento
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk or holds water, we tear it out and pour new on a packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio sloped away from the house, so rain runs to the yard instead of your foundation.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, poured and patterned together.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways that have heaved get replaced with a broom finish, the brushed texture that grips when wet.
Garage floor concrete
If the garage slab is cracked, stained or out of level, we break it out and pour fresh.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed aggregate or a custom finish for homeowners who want the slab to be part of the yard's look.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or an old wall is leaning, we form and pour a concrete one.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured flat and finished for the way you'll use them.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs a finish that isn't slick underfoot and a slope that sheds splash water.
Concrete steps construction
Crumbling or uneven front steps rebuilt with every step the same height, so nobody stumbles at the door.
Slab foundation building
For a new garage, shop or addition, we pour the slab with rebar, steel that keeps any crack tight.
Foundation installation
When a build needs a full foundation, we dig, form and pour it to the plans before framing starts.
Concrete parking lot building
Builders and property owners with bigger lots get the same base work and drainage check we give a driveway.
Concrete footings
Footings for posts, walls and additions, dug to the depth the plans call for and poured solid.
Foundation raising
If part of a slab or foundation has dropped, raising it can level things out without starting over.
Concrete cutting
When you need a section removed or a trench for a new line, we saw-cut it clean and straight.
What every West Sacramento job gets
I do your walk-through and estimate myself
I come out, check the ground and the drainage, and explain what you're paying for before you sign.
The base comes before the finish
If the budget's tight, I'll trim the finish before the base, because the base decides whether a slab settles.
Licensed, insured and there for the pour
We're licensed and fully insured, I'm on site for the pours, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

West Sacramento concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in West Sacramento?
The city's published permit lists don't name driveways or patios either way, so we check with the Building Division for your address before we start. If the job needs a permit, we take care of it as part of the work, which matters because the city can fine an owner who skips a required one.
Does a concrete retaining wall need a permit in West Sacramento?
Not if it's four feet or under, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, since the city lists those as needing no building permit. Taller walls are off that list, and masonry walls over four feet are on the list that needs one, so we measure at the walk-through and handle the permit if it's needed.
Does a concrete contractor from Davis need a West Sacramento business license?
Yes. The city requires every business working inside city limits to hold a city business license, and that includes businesses based somewhere else, like us in Davis. The city also recommends that a licensed contractor do the work, and questions about a city license go to the number the county lists, (916) 617-4645.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete cracks, so the goal is a slab that cracks where we planned and stays tight. We dig out and pack the base so it doesn't settle, add rebar where the job calls for it, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to go, soon after the pour instead of days later.
How long before I can walk or drive on new concrete?
Usually you can walk on it after a day or two and park a car on it after about a week. That wait is curing, the slab gaining strength while it holds its moisture, which is also why we pour early instead of in midday heat that dries the top weak and dusty.
