Our concrete work in Palo Alto
We're based in Cupertino and come up to Palo Alto for driveways, patios, walks and garage floors, the same work we do next door in Mountain View and East Palo Alto, and over in Milpitas.
The price mostly follows the size, how much old concrete comes out and how much base the ground needs, and the schedule follows the permit and the cure, so the on-site estimate is where you get your own numbers.
What Palo Alto homeowners call us for
Most calls here are flatwork, the slabs you walk and drive on, plus a few bigger jobs.
- Replacing cracked or sinking driveways
- Patios and pool decks
- Front walks and steps
- Concrete floors for garages and ADUs
- Footings for additions and new builds
Finishes we pour in Palo Alto
- Broom finish for grip
- Stamped concrete patterns
- Colored decorative concrete
- Rebar to hold cracks tight
Why Palo Alto homeowners call us
I come out, look at where the water runs and what the old slab sat on, and write the estimate myself. If the base is soft, we dig it out and pack it before we pour, because that's where a slab fails, and our own crew does the work with me on site.

(408) 746-6415Questions about concrete work in Palo Alto
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Palo Alto?
Ask the city's Development Services office, which issues building permits in Palo Alto and lists examples like remodels, re-roofs, new homes and ADUs. If your job needs one, we pull it and set up the inspections, and anything that reaches the sidewalk or street we plan with the city's public works office from the start.
Which building codes apply to a concrete project in Palo Alto right now?
Projects submitted to the city after January 1, 2026 have to meet the 2025 California Building Codes along with Palo Alto's own amendments. The city takes all plans as digital files, and when your job needs a permit we pull it and set up the inspections for you.
Is an emailed PDF invoice from the City of Palo Alto real?
Not if it asks you to reply to get a separate payment link, because the city says its staff don't send those. Treat it as coming from outside the city, and if it mentions a permit on your job, call us at (408) 746-6415 before you pay anything.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It may get a hairline crack, because concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give that crack a straight place to go. What keeps it from sinking and breaking up like the old one is the subgrade, the packed ground it sits on, and that's the last place I'll cut to save money.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll be walking on it well before you can drive on it, because the slab keeps curing, slowly gaining strength, for a while after the pour. I'll give you the walk-on and drive-on timing for your slab at the estimate, so you can plan where the cars go.
