Our concrete work in Los Gatos
We're based in Cupertino and do the same work in Los Gatos as next door in Saratoga and Campbell, and up the Peninsula to East Palo Alto. Where a lot sits up a steep, narrow road, we work out how the truck gets in before anything else.
Price turns on size, how much digging the base needs, access and finish, and the schedule on any permit and the weather. The estimate gives you your number.
What we pour in Los Gatos
Jobs here run from flatwork, the slabs you walk and drive on, to footings.
- Driveways dug out and rebuilt
- Patios and walkways
- Steps where the yard slopes

Finishes we build in Los Gatos

Why Los Gatos homeowners call us
I come out, check where the water runs and what the slab will sit on, and write the estimate myself. If the budget's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base, because nobody sees a good base and everybody notices a bad one. Our own crew pours, with me there.

(408) 746-6415Los Gatos concrete questions, answered
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Los Gatos?
Los Gatos permit rules name other work, not driveways or patios, so ask the Town Building Division before the pour. The division does review plans for all new construction, additions and remodels, which takes in the slab or footings under an addition. If your job needs a permit, we pull it and set up the inspections.
When does a concrete contractor in California need a state license?
The state licensing board requires one when a job needs a building permit, uses additional workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A bigger job can't be split into pieces under $1,000 to get around it. We're licensed and fully insured.
Does an out-of-town contractor need a Los Gatos business license?
Yes, a Town Business License is required when a business comes into Los Gatos to work, not only when it's located there. A contractor also needs a current one to get Los Gatos permits, and every license runs out on December 31.
Will a new concrete driveway crack like my old one?
It can still crack, so the aim is cracks in places we chose, and that comes down to the base and the joints. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, and we cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before it picks its own spot.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, because curing, the slow hardening after the pour, has to run before the slab takes a car's weight. In summer heat we'd rather pour early, since a slab that dries too fast ends up with a weak, dusty top, and we'll give you your dates before we start.
