Concrete work we do around Menlo Park

Every job starts with me at your property, and you'll hear what I think of the ground before anyone talks price. Price follows the size, the base work and the finish, and the schedule mostly turns on what the city asks for.

Request an estimate

  1. Concrete driveway building

    A new driveway, or a replacement for one that's cracked, sinking or holding water, poured over a dug-out, packed base so it doesn't settle with the dirt underneath.

    Concrete driveway extends across the foreground to a tan shingle-sided house, with autumn leaves scattered on the slab.

  2. Concrete patio construction

    Patios for eating, sitting or a grill, sloped gently away from the house so rain runs off into the yard instead of pooling against your walls.

    Stamped concrete pool deck surrounding a swimming pool, with pale coping and low stone walls.

  3. Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored while it's still soft, so a patio, walkway or pool deck looks like stone or brick without the loose pieces.

    Stamped concrete pool deck with a stone-pattern surface, patio table and chairs beneath a colorful umbrella.

  4. Concrete sidewalk building

    When a walkway has lifted or chipped, we pour new sections with control joints, shallow cuts that give any crack a straight line to follow.

    Concrete sidewalk curves beside a stone-faced house, with a gravel bed, planter, and black metal bench.

  5. Garage floor concrete

    A garage slab carries cars, tools and storage, so we pour it thick enough for the load and finish it smooth enough to sweep clean.

    Stone steps with black railings descend beside a tiered rock waterfall and retaining wall.

  6. Decorative concrete

    Color, exposed stone, scored lines or a polished look. Decorative work suits entries and outdoor spaces where the surface is part of how the house looks.

    Decorative stamped concrete patio with a glossy brown, irregular stone pattern in front of a brick house.

  7. Concrete retaining walls

    Walls that hold back a slope or level out a yard, with rebar, the steel bars that hold the concrete together, and drainage behind them so water doesn't build up.

    Wood-look concrete step and landing beside a sliding door, bordered by a gray stamped patio and pool edge.

  8. Concrete floor installation

    Floors for workshops, additions and commercial rooms, poured over a packed base and a moisture barrier so the slab stays flat and ground damp stays below it.

    Smooth finished concrete floor with control joints fills an insulated timber-framed garage.

  9. Concrete pool decks

    A pool deck needs grip for wet feet and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool, and we plan both before the forms go in.

    Concrete pool deck with gray stamped paving surrounds a blue swimming pool beside a two-story house.

  10. Concrete steps construction

    Front and back steps built to even heights, so nobody misjudges one, with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes some grip in the rain.

    Curved stone steps lead from a sliding door to a gray paver patio with a circular fire pit and landscaped beds.

  11. Slab foundation building

    The slab under an addition, ADU or garage. We pack the subgrade, the soil it sits on, because a slab is only as level as the ground below.

    Stamped concrete patio with a circular stone fire pit, dining set, lounge chairs, and potted flowers.

  12. Foundation installation

    Foundations for new homes and additions, the footings and short walls a house frame sits on, laid out to the plans and checked for level before the pour.

    Broad gray decorative concrete patio with a repeating rectangular stone pattern.

  13. Concrete parking lot building

    For shops, offices and apartment buildings, a concrete lot that stands up to daily traffic, with thickness and drainage planned around the cars and trucks it will carry.

    Stamped concrete patio beneath a covered seating area, with curved concrete steps leading to the lawn.

  14. Concrete footings

    Footings are the buried concrete under posts, walls and decks, dug to the size the plans call for so the weight spreads into firm ground.

    A large light-gray concrete patio with diagonal joints and a dark border sits beside a house in warm sunlight.

  15. Foundation raising

    If floors slope, doors stick or a foundation has dropped at one corner, raising lifts the low section back toward level once we've found why it sank.

    A landscaped concrete patio with a round seating area sits below a raised deck, surrounded by lawn and garden beds.

  16. Concrete cutting

    Clean saw cuts through slabs, walls and driveways for new doors, plumbing runs, or removing one damaged section without breaking up the rest around it.

    A broad decorative concrete driveway with geometric joints leads to a garage beneath autumn trees.

Questions people ask before a pour

How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost in Menlo Park?

It depends mostly on the size, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you choose, so the real number comes from a look at your site. Removing old concrete, a stamped or colored surface and a tricky slope all raise it, while a plain broom finish keeps it lower.

How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?

You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it needs curing, a stretch of days where it keeps hardening and gaining strength. Driving on it too early can crack or mark it, so I write both waits on your estimate and you can plan around them.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?

It can, a little, and I'd rather tell you that now than have you find out later. Most bad cracking starts underneath, so we dig out and pack the base instead of raking it level, and cut control joints in time so a crack has a planned line to follow. If the budget is tight, I'd trim the finish before the base.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Menlo Park?

It depends on the job. In Menlo Park the city's Building Division issues building permits, and its list of work that needs none covers finish work like painting and countertops, not flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks. We check what applies to your address before we set a date, and handle the paperwork or help you with it.

Does a concrete contractor need a business license to work in Menlo Park?

Yes, with few exceptions every business working within Menlo Park city limits needs a valid City of Menlo Park business license. It's a fair thing to ask any contractor about before you hire.

Who comes out to look at my concrete job and give the estimate?

I do, and I'm the one who measures and writes the estimate. Our crew does the work and I run the job on site, so the person who planned it is there when it's poured. There's more about us and how we work if you'd like it.
