Concrete that lasts past the warranty.
Hand-finished driveways, patios, walkways, footings, and decorative flatwork — built with the proper sub-base, reinforcement, and joint planning so your slab doesn't crack two winters in.
The cracks come from
what's under the slab.
Almost every "bad concrete job" we're called to fix wasn't bad concrete. It was bad sub-base. Concrete is only as stable as what's under it — and if the base prep, compaction, and drainage aren't right, no amount of rebar saves the slab.
We over-build the sub-base. Properly compacted Class 2 base. Vapor barrier where it belongs. Rebar tied on chairs — not laid on the dirt and "lifted up during the pour" (which never happens). Saw-cut control joints planned, not chopped wherever someone gets to.
And we hand-finish. Power trowels for the field, but every edge, joint, and transition gets passed by a finisher who cares what it looks like.
Flatwork we pour every month.
Driveways
New driveway pours, driveway widening, and full driveway replacements — with proper apron and approach work.
Patios
Backyard patios, front entry pads, side yard slabs — broom, salt, or smooth finish.
Walkways & Paths
Front walks, side yard paths, garden paths — properly drained and joint-planned.
Footings & Foundations
Spread footings, grade beams, slab-on-grade foundations for additions and outbuildings.
Decorative Concrete
Board-formed concrete walls, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, integral color, acid stain.
Stairs & Retaining Walls
Poured stairs, retaining walls, and grade-change structures for sloped Sonoma lots.
The flatwork they asked us back for.

A small amount of cracking is normal — concrete shrinks as it cures. What matters is where and how. Properly planned control joints encourage cracking along clean lines you don't see. Cracks across the field of the slab are almost always a sub-base or rebar issue — both of which we plan for.
Pour it once. Pour it right.
From a single patio to a complete driveway and walkway replacement.
