About our Arcadia concrete contractor business
We pour driveways, patios, slabs and footings for homes in Arcadia and the cities around it. Every job starts with the ground under the concrete, because that's the part nobody fixes later.
From hauling broken concrete to pouring it
Before this, I ran a small hauling business, and most of what I hauled was other people's broken concrete. I got curious about why it broke and went to work for a finisher. In 2017 I started R&C Arcadia Concrete Contractors here in Arcadia.
Most of it broke because of what was under it. Concrete is only as good as the ground it sits on, and once it's poured nobody gets a second look. The base is the first thing people want to trim from a budget, since it's buried on day one. If something has to give, I'd rather it be the finish.
We're best known for driveways, patios and the ground work nobody sees, for homeowners in Arcadia and the cities around it and a few owners with a lot or slab that needs attention. I look at every job and write the estimate myself, and our crew does the work with me there. If your city isn't listed, ask on our contact page.
The concrete work we take on
Get a quoteConcrete driveway building
When your driveway is cracked, sinking or pooling water, we tear it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a base and pour a new one.
Concrete patio construction
A concrete patio for the backyard, sloped so rain runs away from the house. Good for a new space or replacing a chipped, uneven one.
Stamped concrete services
Concrete pressed with patterns and color while it's still wet so it looks like stone, brick or tile, for patios, walkways and pool areas.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways from the driveway to the door or along the side yard. If one section has lifted and become a trip hazard, we replace that section.
Garage floor concrete
A new garage slab, or a replacement for a cracked, stained one, finished smooth so it sweeps clean and stands up to a parked car every day.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed aggregate with the top washed back to show the stone, and other finishes for when plain gray concrete doesn't suit the yard.
Concrete retaining walls
A concrete wall that holds back a slope, set on a footing with drainage behind it so built-up water doesn't push it over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and other rooms, poured over a packed base and finished smooth or ready for whatever flooring goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
The concrete around your pool, sloped so splash water drains off and given a textured finish that wet feet can grip. Plain, stamped or colored.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps poured in place with every step the same height. Worth replacing once the old ones crack, tilt or pull away from the house.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for garages, additions and backyard buildings, poured over a packed base with steel rebar inside to hold any crack tight.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new structures and additions, laid out to the plans and poured after any required inspection of the forms and steel.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners with a lot that's cracked, sinking or holding water, we rebuild the base and pour concrete thick enough for the traffic it gets.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under walls, posts and patio covers that carries the weight. We dig them to the depth the plans call for, then pour.
Foundation raising
If part of a slab or foundation has sunk and doors stick or floors slope, we lift it back toward level and fill the gap underneath.
Concrete cutting
Saw cutting for a new opening, a utility trench or a bad section of slab, plus control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned place to go.
