Concrete Driveways Installation
A concrete driveway gives your cars a strong and flat place to park every day. It also boosts the look of your front yard right away.
We start by digging the ground to the right depth. Next, we spread four inches of crushed stone base and pack it down tight with a heavy roller. This step stops the ground from sinking later on. Also, we set a grid of steel rebar bars lifted off the dirt. This means that when we pour four thousand PSI concrete, the steel stays in the middle where it gives the most strength. As a result, your new driveway can easily hold heavy pickup trucks, delivery vans, and family cars without cracking.
Concrete Driveway Repair
Concrete driveway repair fixes damaged spots so you do not have to pay for a whole new driveway.
Over time, heavy cars and tree roots can chip or break small sections of a driveway. When this happens, you do not need to tear out the entire slab. Instead, we cut out only the broken parts with a diamond saw. Next, we clean out loose dirt and drill steel pins into the surrounding concrete. This ties the old concrete to the new pour. Also, we blend the new surface texture to match the rest of your driveway. This means you save thousands of dollars while keeping your driveway safe to drive on.
Concrete Driveway Crack Repair
Crack repair seals thin lines and splits in your concrete before water can sneak underneath.
Cracks often start small, but rain and winter cold make them grow quickly. When water gets under the slab, it washes away the dirt base. To fix this, we first grind open the crack with a special wheel to make a clean channel. Next, we blow out all dust and small stones with high pressure air. Then, we fill the gap with commercial polyurethane sealant. This material stays flexible during hot summers and cold winters. This means that the crack stays sealed tight and water cannot soften the soil under your home.
Concrete Driveway Joint Repair
Joint repair replaces old, rotten wood strips between concrete slabs with modern flexible sealants.
Old driveways often have wooden boards between slabs that rot away after a few years. When the wood rots, dirt fills the open spaces and water leaks down. Next, hot summer sunshine makes the concrete expand, and without open joints, the slabs push against each other and crush their edges. To fix this, we pull out the old wood and scrape the joint walls clean. Next, we push a round foam backer rod into the slot. Finally, we pour in self leveling sealant. This means your slabs can expand and shrink naturally without chipping.
Concrete Driveway Slab Repair
Slab repair fixes individual panels that have sunk into the ground or tilted out of line.
Sometimes rain washes dirt out from under one single concrete panel. As a result, that panel drops two or three inches below the rest of the driveway. This creates a sharp bump that can damage your car bumper or trip someone walking by. To fix this, we drill small penny sized holes in the low slab. Next, we inject high density foam under the panel. The foam expands with great power and lifts the heavy slab back to its exact original height. This means the work takes less than two hours and you can drive on it right away.
Concrete Patio Installation
A concrete patio gives your family a clean and durable outdoor space for dining, barbecues, and relaxation.
A good patio begins with careful planning. We shape the wooden forms to fit your backyard layout, whether you want straight edges or curved corners. Next, we slope the ground gently away from your house. This means that heavy rain flows into the yard instead of pooling against your home walls. Also, we add steel reinforcement and pour rich ready mix concrete. You can choose a light broom finish for slip resistance or a smooth trowel finish for easy cleaning. As a result, you get a solid backyard space that lasts for decades.
Concrete Erosion Repair
Concrete erosion repair stops running water from washing away soil around your driveway, patio, or home foundation.
Heavy winter rain can cut deep ditches in dirt yards and pull soil away from concrete edges. When dirt washes away, the unsupported concrete slab cracks under vehicle weight. To solve this, we rebuild the lost soil using compacted gravel. Next, we pour reinforced concrete swales and catch basins that catch running water and guide it safely to the street. Also, we install concrete curbing along hillside edges. This means that stormwater moves where you want it to go, keeping your yard safe and solid.
Stamped Concrete Installation
Stamped concrete imprints beautiful textures into fresh concrete so it looks just like real stone, brick, or wood.
If you want the luxury look of natural slate or brick without paying high stone prices, stamped concrete is the best answer. First, we mix rich color powder directly into the wet concrete so the color runs all the way through the slab. Next, while the concrete is still soft, our crew lays down textured rubber mats and presses them into the surface. This imprints deep patterns like cobblestone, slate, or wood grain. Then, we apply an accent color that highlights the deep grooves. Finally, we spray two coats of clear sealer. This means your patio looks like expensive hand placed stone while offering the rock solid strength of poured concrete.
Stamped Concrete Repair
Stamped concrete repair restores dull, cloudy, or chipped decorative patios back to their original glossy shine.
Years of strong sunshine and foot traffic can wear away the clear protective coat on stamped concrete. When this happens, the colors look dull and white haze can appear. To fix this, we power wash the surface with a gentle cleaner and strip off old failing sealer. Next, we touch up any small chipped corners with color matched repair cement. Then, we reapply antique highlight stains to bring back the stone texture. Finally, we apply a fresh coat of high solid acrylic sealer with a slip resistant grip additive. This means your patio glows with deep, rich colors once again.
Concrete Leveling
Concrete leveling lifts uneven and sunken slabs back to a flat position without having to tear them out.
When soil under a sidewalk or patio settles, one side of the concrete drops down. This creates an uneven step that can trip family members or guests. Concrete leveling solves this problem quickly and cleanly. First, we drill tiny dime sized holes through the sunken slab. Next, we pump high density foam through the holes. As the foam expands under the slab, it fills all empty pockets and gently lifts the concrete back up to match the next panel. Once the slab is level, we patch the tiny holes with matching cement. This means you can walk on the level surface right after we finish.
Driveway Resurfacing
Driveway resurfacing covers an old, stained driveway with a fresh layer of polymer concrete to make it look brand new.
If your driveway has surface stains, small flaking spots, and tiny web cracks, you do not need to spend money on a full replacement. As long as the base is solid, resurfacing is a great choice. First, we clean the surface with a diamond grinder to remove oil stains and rough up the concrete. Next, we spread a special bonding primer. Then, we pour a polymer modified cement coat across the entire driveway. We can finish this new layer with a clean broom texture or a decorative knockdown pattern. This means your old driveway gets a fresh, bright look for less than half the cost of new concrete.
Retaining Wall Repair
Retaining wall repair fixes leaning, cracked, or bowing concrete walls that hold back dirt slopes.
Retaining walls hold back tons of heavy dirt and wet soil on hillsides. Over time, clogged drainage pipes cause water to build up behind the wall. This heavy water pressure pushes against the concrete and causes it to tilt outward or crack. To fix this, we clear out clogged drain holes so water can flow out freely. Next, we install steel tie back anchors that go deep into the stable hillside behind the wall. Then, we repair cracks with high strength structural mortar. This means the wall stays upright and holds your yard firmly in place for years.
Our Five Step Concrete Installation Process in El Dorado Hills
Laser Survey and Digging
First, we measure your yard with laser tools. Next, we dig out soft topsoil so the concrete sits on solid ground.
Compacting the Rock Base
Second, we spread four inches of crushed rock and roll it tight. This step stops the ground from sinking when heavy cars park on it.
Setting Steel Rebar
Third, we build wooden forms and tie a grid of strong steel rebar. We lift the steel off the dirt so it sits in the middle of the slab.
Pouring Four Thousand PSI Concrete
Fourth, the ready mix truck arrives. We pour rich commercial grade concrete and spread it evenly with screed boards and power trowels.
Adding Texture and Protective Seal
Fifth, we apply your chosen surface texture, cut expansion joints, and spray a clear protective cure coat to lock in moisture.
