Concrete driveway building
We break out the old driveway, dig out and pack the base, and slope the new slab so water runs toward the street instead of your garage door.
Concrete Contractor in Citrus Heights, CA - Driveways and Patios Built on a Solid Base
R&M Woodland Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Citrus Heights, CA. We tear out and replace driveways, patios, walks, steps and garage floors, and we take on foundation and cutting work that needs careful planning first.
What concrete work looks like in Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights has its own city offices, so when a concrete job needs a permit, it goes through the city's Building and Safety Division rather than the county. Most of what we're called out for here is replacing a tired driveway, patio or walk at an established house. It's the same work we do in Roseville next door and farther south in Florin.
The price turns on the size of the slab, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, how much base work the ground needs, how close we can get the truck, and the finish you pick, since a plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from getting slick, costs less than stamped or colored work. The schedule turns on whether the city wants a permit and on curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it can carry weight. I come out, look at the job and put your price in writing. On lots here we plan around mature trees, because roots that reach under a slab can lift it, and that decides where the slab goes and how we build the base.
I look at every job myself
I come out to your house to look at the job and write the estimate, so the person pricing it is the one answering for the details on pour day.
Our own crew on pour day
Our own crew forms, pours and finishes the concrete, and I'm on site on pour days, because timing and finishing that day decide how the slab holds up.
The base comes before the finish
I'd rather spend your budget on a dug-out, packed subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, than on a fancier finish, because a weak base is where most sinking starts.
Concrete services we offer in Citrus Heights
Concrete patio construction
We pitch backyard patios away from the house so rain doesn't pool at the door, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a planned place to go.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio, walk or pool surround the look of stone or brick, and we seal it so the pattern and color stay clean longer.
Concrete sidewalk building
We replace front walks and side paths that have heaved or sunk, often beside a tree, so the new path sits flush and stops catching toes.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor carries cars and takes oil drips, so we pour it thick enough, add rebar, the steel bars that hold a cracked slab together, and finish it smooth.
Decorative concrete
Colored, exposed-aggregate and scored finishes for entries, patios and walkways, worked out with you on site so the look suits the house before anything is poured.
Concrete retaining walls
Concrete retaining walls hold back a slope or raised yard, and we build drainage behind them so trapped water doesn't push the wall out of line.
Concrete floor installation
Interior and shop floors for additions, workshops and outbuildings, poured level and finished smooth so cabinets, flooring and equipment sit flat on them.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks get a finish with grip for wet feet and a slope that sends splash water to the drains, away from the pool and the house.
Concrete steps construction
We rebuild front and back steps with even rises and a solid footing underneath, so nobody misjudges a step and the stoop stays tight to the house.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for additions, garages and small buildings, with the base, steel and forms checked before the pour, the way I learned it on commercial jobs.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new structures, laid out to the plans and built for each inspection, and we work with your engineer when the design calls for one.
Concrete parking lot building
Concrete lots and drive aprons for small commercial properties, graded so water drains off and poured thick enough for the traffic they'll carry every day.
Concrete footings
Footings for walls, posts, additions and patio covers, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight above sits on solid ground.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has settled, we work out why before lifting it, so the repair deals with the cause and not only the low spot.
Concrete cutting
Saw cutting for new doorways, utility trenches and openings through slabs or foundation walls, the careful jobs other crews often pass on to someone else.
Get a written concrete estimate in Citrus Heights
Send the form and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out, look at the job in person and put the price in writing, free and with no obligation.
Free estimate on site
I look at the slab, the slope and what's growing around it in person, because a photo can't show me how the base or the drainage really sits.
Permits handled when needed
If your job needs a permit, we handle the application and schedule the inspections, and if we're not sure, we check with the city before the estimate is final.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, so you know where you stand before the truck shows up.
Questions about concrete work in Citrus Heights
These are the questions we hear most about permits, licenses and lot rules before a concrete job in Citrus Heights.
Do I need a permit to replace my concrete driveway in Citrus Heights?
Check with the city before you assume either way. Its list of work that needs a building permit names jobs like water heaters, re-roofs and windows rather than driveways, and the city says that list isn't complete. Permit Services answers this at (916) 727-4760 or Building@CitrusHeights.net, and work with no building permit can still need sign-off from the Planning Division or another city department.
Who can get a building permit for concrete work in Citrus Heights?
You can, or your agent, or a contractor licensed by the State of California, so you can apply for the permit yourself or have us do it. The application should include a plot plan drawn to scale showing the shape and size of your lot and any oak trees on your property or the neighbors'.
Does a concrete contractor need a Citrus Heights business license?
Yes, the city requires every business to hold a General Business License, apart from a few that state law exempts, and a contractor needs a valid one before the city will issue a building permit. Getting the license can take up to 60 days, so if your job needs a permit, ask your contractor about it early.
Can I pour a new driveway in the floodplain in Citrus Heights?
Usually not, because in most cases the city won't permit new driveways, garages, pools or fill in the 100-year floodplain. Additions or new structures within 50 feet of it need an Elevation Certificate showing they were built at least two feet above it. The flood maps were redrawn in 2024, so check your parcel with the city at (916) 727-4770 before we plan anything.
