Concrete driveway building
We tear out the cracked or sunken driveway, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour a slab sloped to carry water toward the street.
Concrete contractor in Roseville, CA - slabs built on a solid base and sloped to drain
R&M Woodland Concrete Company is a concrete contractor working in Roseville, CA. We pour driveways, patios, walkways, steps and garage floors, and take on foundation and cutting work, with our own crew forming and finishing the concrete.
How we approach concrete work in Roseville
Most of our Roseville calls come from homeowners with a cracked driveway, a patio that's sinking at one corner or a backyard that needs a slab. We also hear from small builders and property owners with trickier jobs. We pour in West Sacramento and next door in Citrus Heights too, so this is familiar ground for our crew. The price on a job here turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete and loose dirt has to come out, and how close the truck can get. It also turns on the finish you pick, because stamped or colored work takes more hands than a broom finish, the light brushed texture that keeps a slab from getting slick. The schedule depends on whether the city wants a permit, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength before you walk or drive on it. Your own figure comes from the estimate, in writing.
Water is what we think about most here. Dry Creek, Miners Ravine and the other creeks that drain into Roseville meet inside the city, and the city says flooding is possible every winter. So before we set a form, we look at where the water runs off your roof and yard, and we slope the new slab away from the house, not toward it.
I write the estimate myself
I come out to your place, measure, ask a lot of questions and put the price in writing, so the person who priced your job is the one on site on pour day.
The base gets the money first
The subgrade, the packed ground the slab sits on, is buried on day one, so it's the first thing people cut. I'd rather trim the finish, because a fancy top on a soft base still settles.
Joints cut where cracks should go
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so it will crack somewhere. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the crack a straight line to follow, early enough that it lands where we chose.
Concrete work we do for Roseville homes and lots
Concrete patio construction
Backyard patios that pitch away from the house and the back door, so rain runs out to the yard instead of pooling against your siding or under the step.
Stamped concrete services
Concrete pressed with a pattern and color while it's still soft, for patios and walks where you want the look of stone without setting every piece by hand.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side-yard paths replaced where roots or settling have left a lip you trip on, with joints cut so new cracks follow straight lines.
Garage floor concrete
Garage slabs broken out and repoured level, with a slight fall toward the door so water off a wet car drains out instead of sitting by the wall.
Decorative concrete
Colored, exposed-aggregate and scored finishes for entries, courtyards and patios, picked with you on site so the surface suits the house and holds up underfoot.
Concrete retaining walls
Poured walls that hold back a slope or a raised bed, with drainage built in behind them so trapped water doesn't keep pushing on the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured flat and finished smooth, or left ready for whatever flooring goes on top later.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks finished with enough texture to be less slick when wet, and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and off the deck.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps formed with even risers, so each step is the same height, and a landing wide enough to stand on while you open the door.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for additions, garages and small buildings, with the base compacted, rebar placed and the forms checked before the truck shows up.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new structures laid out to the plans, with inspections fitted in at each stage, the way I learned it on tight commercial jobs.
Concrete parking lot building
Small parking lots and paved yards for shops and rental properties, graded so water runs to the drains instead of standing where people park and walk.
Concrete footings
Footings for patio covers, walls and posts, dug to the depth the plans call for and set with rebar, the steel that keeps them in one piece.
Foundation raising
When a slab or footing has dropped, we work out why it moved before lifting it, because raising it without fixing the cause just brings the problem back.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and foundation walls for new doors, plumbing runs or a wider driveway, planned so the cut doesn't weaken what's left.

Tell us what you're seeing
A note about cracks, sinking or water pooling by the house tells me what to look at first when I come out, so we use the visit well.
Permit questions settled up front
If we're not sure whether your job needs a permit, we check with the city's building office before we finalize the estimate, so it doesn't turn into a surprise later.

Questions about concrete permits and licenses in Roseville
These come up on most Roseville estimates, from who pulls the permit to what changes once the work reaches the street.
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Roseville?
That's the city's call, made by the Development Services Department that issues Roseville's building permits. Work the building code covers needs its permit before anyone starts, and starting early adds a fee on top of the permit fees. When your job needs one, we handle the application and schedule the inspections.
Who is responsible for getting the permit, me or my concrete contractor?
You are, in the end, even though the contractor usually pulls it. Roseville issues permits to a legal property owner or a licensed contractor, but it holds the homeowner responsible for making sure every needed permit is in place. On our jobs we take care of the application, and you're welcome to ask to see the permit.
Does a concrete contractor need a California license to work on my house?
Yes, whenever the job needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or its contracts total $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The state licensing board also requires a contractor to hold that license before bidding. Roseville adds its own city business license for any business working in the city, even one based outside it. We're licensed and fully insured.
Do I need a separate permit if my new driveway meets the street in Roseville?
Yes, if any of the work reaches into the public right-of-way, the street-side strip that belongs to the public. Roseville requires an encroachment permit before any construction there, while work wholly on private property falls outside that rule. Matching a driveway to the street is a detail I enjoy, and on the estimate I'll point out which parts reach it.
