What We Do

Our Services

A look at the concrete work we handle most, from driveways to repair.

Concrete Driveways

A driveway poured on a compacted base holds up when the clay underneath moves.

Concrete Patios

A patio slab that drains away from the house instead of toward it.

Stamped Concrete

Get the look of pavers or stone without the joints that grow weeds.

Concrete Repair

We fix the crack instead of just patching over it.

Concrete Steps & Walkways

Steps poured to code, with a rise and run that doesn't trip people up.

Retaining Walls

A wall with drainage behind it, not one that leans over in year three.

Who We Are

Concrete We'd Pour at Our Own House

We're a concrete crew working driveways, patios, foundations and repair jobs across Palo Alto and the surrounding Peninsula. Most of the people who call us have a slab that's cracked, a driveway settling at one corner, or a patio that puddles instead of draining. You've probably already had one contractor tell you it just needs a patch.

We start every job by looking at what's underneath the concrete, not just what's on top of it. Good base compaction and the right reinforcement decide whether a slab lasts twenty years or five. We cut control joints early, grade for drainage before we ever pour, and tell you straight if a repair won't hold instead of taking the easy job.

What people said afterwards

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our driveway in Palo Alto had a corner sinking for years. They cut it out, repoured with rebar, and it hasn't moved since the rains this winter.

Had to reschedule twice because of rain but they called ahead both times instead of just not showing. Patio drains away from the house now, no puddle by the back door.

Stamped pattern looks like the flagstone we wanted without weeds growing between joints. Crew was out in Redwood City finishing another job same week, easy to coordinate.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people usually ask before they pick up the phone.

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Palo Alto?
A concrete driveway's cost depends mainly on square footage, base condition, and finish choice such as plain, stamped or exposed aggregate. Removing an old asphalt or concrete driveway first adds to the price, as does regrading for drainage. Getting a couple of quotes written to the same specs is the best way to compare numbers fairly.
Are concrete contractors in California licensed and insured?
Concrete contractors in California typically hold a C-8 concrete contractor license or a B general license depending on the scope of work, along with liability insurance. Any contractor should be able to show proof of both before a contract is signed.
How soon can a concrete contractor start my project?
Scheduling for concrete work depends on the season and the backlog already on the books, with spring and early summer typically the busiest months in the Bay Area. Smaller jobs like walkway repair can often be slotted in faster than a full driveway or foundation pour.
What areas does a Palo Alto concrete contractor usually cover?
Concrete contractors based near Palo Alto typically serve the surrounding Peninsula and South Bay, including cities like Redwood City, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and San Jose. Travel distance can affect scheduling for very small jobs.
Do concrete contractors work on both homes and commercial properties?
Most concrete contractors focus on residential driveways, patios and foundations, with some also taking on small commercial pads, sidewalks or parking areas. Commercial work often carries different code requirements around slab thickness and load rating.
Will a contractor take on a small job like one cracked slab?
Many concrete contractors take on smaller jobs such as a single cracked panel, a short walkway, or a small pad, though a minimum charge sometimes applies since mobilizing forms and a crew has a fixed cost regardless of job size.
How do I get started on a concrete project?
The usual first step is a site visit to look at the area, check the soil and existing grade, and measure square footage, followed by a written quote. Sending photos of the problem area ahead of time can speed up the process.
What actually moves the price on a concrete job?
Square footage is the starting point, but base preparation, reinforcement type such as rebar versus wire mesh, finish style, and truck access all affect the final number. A slab that needs old material demolished and hauled away first will always cost more than a clean pour on open ground.
Do concrete contractors require a deposit?
Most concrete contractors ask for a deposit to cover materials and scheduling, with the balance due on completion or in stages for larger jobs like foundations. Getting the payment schedule in writing before work starts is standard practice.
What happens if it rains on the day a slab is scheduled to be poured?
Concrete can be poured in light rain if the mix and site are managed for it, but a heavy or prolonged storm usually means rescheduling since standing water affects the finish and curing. A contractor watching the forecast should move the date ahead of time rather than pouring into a problem.
