Concrete that’s built for Seattle ground and weather

Most concrete problems around Puget Sound start underneath the slab or behind the wall, not on the surface. These are the things we look at before anything gets poured.

Water has to go somewhere

Fall through spring brings long stretches of rain. Slope, joints and drains are planned so water runs away from the house and doesn’t sit under the slab.

The base matters more than the finish

Glacial till, clay pockets, river soils and old fill are all common around Puget Sound. Soft or wet soil gets dug out and replaced with compacted gravel before forms go in.

Hills and tight lots

Steep driveways, stepped yards and narrow side yards change how concrete is placed, whether a pump is needed, and where a wall or steps make sense.

Freeze, thaw and de-icer

Hard freezes are occasional here, but they happen. Air-entrained mixes and a cure-and-seal plan help outdoor concrete handle them.

Moss and slick surfaces

Shaded flatwork grows moss. Finish texture and sealer choice affect how slippery steps, walks and pool decks get when they’re wet.

Permits, when they apply

Larger paving jobs, taller retaining walls and work in the sidewalk or planting strip can need city permits. We flag these early.

Seattle permits in plain terms

WorkWhen a permit usually comes up in SeattleWho issues it
Driveways and patiosAdding or replacing 750 sq ft or more of paving generally needs a grading permitSDCI
Retaining wallsWalls taller than 4 ft from the bottom of the footing, walls in an environmentally critical area, or walls that could affect a neighborSDCI
Sidewalks, curb cuts, driveway apronsAny work in the public right-of-way. Small sidewalk repairs use a simpler permit; larger ones need a construction permitSDOT

Rules change and every lot is different. Check SDCI’s permit guide and SDOT’s sidewalk repair guide. Outside Seattle, each city’s own permit office applies; our service area pages link to each one.

Common questions

What kinds of concrete work do you take on?

Driveways, patios, stamped and decorative concrete, steps and stairs, retaining walls, pool decks, sidewalks and walkways, slabs, foundations, and repair or leveling of existing concrete.

How do I get a quote?

Use the form on this page or call (206) 566-0528. Photos, rough measurements and a short description of the problem or the goal are the fastest way to start.

Can you fix my concrete instead of replacing it?

Sometimes. A slab that’s sunk but mostly intact can often be lifted or patched. Wide, spreading cracks, crumbling surfaces or a failed base usually mean replacement. Photos help us tell which.

Do I need a permit?

Small patios and like-for-like repairs often don’t. Bigger paving jobs, taller retaining walls and anything in the sidewalk or street right-of-way usually do. We’ll tell you what applies.

When can I walk or drive on new concrete?

Foot traffic usually after a day or two, cars after about a week, and full strength takes around four weeks. Weather and the mix change those numbers.

Which areas do you cover?

Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Issaquah, Tacoma, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way and Tukwila. If you’re nearby and not on the list, call and ask.
