Concrete work for Woodland homes and lots
Woodland is largely flat, so the water on your driveway or patio only goes where the slab sends it. Most of the year's rain falls between November and April. A slab poured dead level holds puddles, and one that falls toward the house sends water at your foundation. We work out where the water should run before the forms go in.
The city's figures put summers in the mid to upper 90s, with records up to 114°F. Concrete finished in midday heat dries too fast on top and turns weak and dusty later, so in summer we pour early. In the older core, many houses date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and their walks and steps have often been patched over and over, so we tear out to a sound base.
From our base in Davis we cover Woodland along with West Sacramento and Winters. The price moves with the slab's size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the weather, the cure and any permit the City of Woodland's Building Division requires. I walk each job myself, and the estimate gives you your own figure.
Concrete services in Woodland
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk at the garage or holds water, we pour new on a packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling by the back door.
Stamped concrete services
For the look of stone or brick on a patio or walk without setting each piece by hand.
Concrete sidewalk building
Where a front walk has heaved, we pour a new one with a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or pitted garage floor, broken out and repoured flat with a slight fall toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Colored and textured finishes for slabs that sit in plain view, like an entry, a patio or a pool surround.
Concrete retaining walls
When a yard needs to hold back soil at a grade change, we pour a wall with drainage behind it.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured level so whatever goes on top sits right.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck should grip wet feet and slope water away from the pool, toward drains or the yard.
Concrete steps construction
If front or back steps have cracked, settled or pulled away from the house, we form and pour new ones.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for garages, additions and new homes, with rebar, the steel that holds the concrete together.
Foundation installation
For builders and owners starting a new structure, we form and pour the foundation it will stand on.
Concrete parking lot building
Bigger flat jobs for property owners, poured thick enough for the cars and trucks that will use the lot.
Concrete footings
Footings for walls, posts and additions, dug to firm ground so the weight above them stays put.
Foundation raising
Where part of a house or slab has settled, we raise it back toward level before the cracks spread.
Concrete cutting
When a doorway, a drain line or a damaged section means some concrete has to go, we saw it clean.

Questions we hear in Woodland
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Woodland?
Yes. Driveway work is on the city's list of work that needs a permit, and permitted work gets inspected. We check with the city for your address, and if your job needs a permit, we take care of it as part of the work. To ask the city yourself, call its permit staff at 530-661-5820.
Does a concrete patio or walkway need a permit in Woodland?
A ground-level patio or walk is on the city's exceptions list, which covers flat concrete other than driveways. A patio more than 30 inches above grade isn't, and a retaining wall is exempt only when it's under three feet tall and three feet away from the property line and other structures. Zoning rules such as setbacks can still apply.
What hours can concrete crews work in Woodland?
Construction hours in Woodland are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. On summer jobs we start the pour at the early end of that window, before the heat gets to the surface.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Woodland?
Not until it has cured, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, and you'll walk on it well before you park on it. Heat dries the top fast without making it stronger, so we keep it from drying out too soon. I'll give you the walk-on and drive-on days for your slab at the estimate.
Will a new concrete driveway in Woodland crack like my old one?
It can crack, because concrete does, but we pick where. We cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a line to crack along, soon after the pour, and set rebar, steel bars that hold the pieces together. Concrete shows every shortcut sooner or later, so the joints go in when they should.
