Concrete services in Woodland, CA and nearby cities
R&M Woodland Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Woodland, covering 16 kinds of concrete work in the 12 cities on this site and others nearby. Most calls start with something you can see, like a driveway that's cracked or sinking, a patio holding pooling water or a slab that has to go in before a building can. The price usually turns on the size of the area, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on permits, the weather and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you use it. I put your price in writing after I see the job.
Concrete patio construction
For a backyard patio, we start by checking where the water runs, so the new slab falls away from your house instead of toward it.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still soft, so a patio or walk can look like stone, brick or slate underfoot.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths with control joints, the grooves we cut so cracks form along them instead of wandering across the walk, and an even step-off.
Garage floor concrete
A new or replaced garage floor, poured level over a packed base with rebar, the steel inside that holds the slab together, so it carries cars and storage.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone, scored lines and sealed finishes for homeowners and businesses who want concrete to match the building, from a front entry to a whole courtyard.
Concrete retaining walls
Walls that hold back soil on a sloped yard, built with drainage behind them so trapped water doesn't push them out. Taller walls can need an engineer.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions, barns and commercial spaces, poured flat and finished smooth so flooring, racks or equipment sit level where you put them.
Concrete pool decks
The deck around your pool, finished with a texture that grips wet feet and sloped so splash water drains off instead of running back into the pool.
Concrete steps construction
Front, back and garage steps formed so every step is the same height, which keeps people from catching a toe, and tied into the walk or porch they lead to.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for homes, additions and small buildings, starting with the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, since a foundation is only as good as what's under it.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes, additions and replacement work under older houses, formed to the plans and checked by the inspector when the permit calls for it before we pour.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking lots and drive lanes for shops, offices, churches and apartments, graded so rain drains off and built thick enough for delivery trucks, not just cars.
Concrete footings
The concrete pads and trenches under posts, walls, patio covers and additions, dug to the size the plans call for so the weight above rests on firm ground.
Foundation raising
For a house that's sinking, out of level or sitting too low, we lift it so the foundation can be repaired or replaced, working with an engineer when needed.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and foundation walls for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or a damaged section that has to come out, planned so the rest stays sound.
Why owners and builders call us for concrete
I learned concrete on a commercial outfit where an inspector checked every phase, and I started this business in Woodland in 2013 to bring that care to homes and small properties. When a budget's tight, I'd rather trim the finish than the base, because nobody sees the base but it decides how the slab holds up. Read more about us.
The person who priced it is there
I look at your job myself, and I'm on site on pour days while our own crew does the work, so what we planned is what gets built.
Hard jobs get a real answer
A sloped yard, an opening through a foundation wall or a house to raise gets worked out instead of a quick no, and I'll tell you when an engineer or the city has to decide.
Licensed and fully insured on every job
We're licensed and fully insured, which is the first thing to ask any crew before they set up on your property, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How your concrete job comes together
Here's what happens from the first call to the walk-through, so you know what's coming at each stage.
I come out to see it
After you call, I come out, look at the site and ask how you'll use the concrete, then put the price in a written estimate that's free and carries no obligation.
Permits and checks come first
If the job needs a permit, an engineer or a check for buried lines, we sort that out before anything gets scheduled, including the permit application and inspection dates.
We pour, finish and walk it
Then our crew builds the forms, pours and finishes the concrete, and we walk through the finished job with you before we leave, so any question gets answered on the spot.
Concrete finish and layout examples
Look through plain, stamped and colored concrete in different layouts, and note what you like so we can talk it through at the estimate.
Get a written estimate for your concrete job
We'll reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out, and after I see the job you'll get a free written estimate with no obligation. Our contact page has every other way to reach us.
Tell us how you'll use it
Let us know whether it's for cars, foot traffic, a hot tub or a building, because that decides how thick the slab is, the base under it and the steel inside.
Describe what you're seeing
Describe the cracks, sinking spots or pooling water you're seeing, because that tells me what to look for underneath when I come out.
Reach us seven days a week
We're open 8 AM to 9 PM on weekdays and 6 AM to 9 PM on weekends, so you can reach us before or after your own workday.
Concrete questions we hear in Woodland
Straight answers to what people ask before a concrete job in Woodland, from cracks and curing to permits and pour days.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Woodland, CA?
It depends on your driveway, so I give you a written price after I've looked at it in person. Beyond size, the big swings are tearing out and hauling the old slab, fixing a soft or uneven base, adding rebar for heavier loads and choosing stamped or colored concrete over a plain finish. The estimate is free.
Will a new concrete slab crack like my old one?
It shouldn't, because most cracking I see starts underneath, with a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, water running toward the house, or joints cut late or skipped. We dig out and pack the base, check where the water goes and cut the joints on time, so if a crack forms it usually stays in a joint.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you the timing for your driveway at the estimate. It turns on the weather and the load it has to carry, since curing is what gives the slab its strength, and driving on it early is an easy way to mark up a good job.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Woodland?
A driveway does, because driveway work is on the City of Woodland's list of work that needs a permit and inspections, as is any patio over 30 inches above the surrounding ground. Other flat concrete is among the city's exceptions, but zoning rules like setbacks or a permit from public works can still apply. When one's needed, we handle the application and inspections.
Does a concrete retaining wall need a permit in Woodland, CA?
A short one may not, since the city's exceptions include retaining walls under three feet tall that sit three feet away from the property line and other structures. A taller wall, or one closer in, is a bigger job that may need an engineer. The city suggests calling its Building Division at 530-661-5820 while you're planning to ask.
Can you pour concrete year-round in Woodland, CA?
Yes, with some planning around the weather. Summers here average in the mid- to upper 90s, and concrete poured in midday heat can end up with a weak, dusty top, so we usually pour early in the day and keep the surface from drying out too fast. Most of Woodland's rain falls between November and April, which can move a pour date.
