Concrete Contractor in Campbell, CA - Driveways and Patios Built on a Solid Base
Precision Mountain View Concrete pours driveways, patios, walkways, steps and retaining walls for homes and small commercial lots in Campbell, CA, with the base dug out and packed and the water sent away from your house.
Concrete work in Campbell. Here's what we take on.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway, or a cracked and sinking one torn out and replaced, with the base dug out and packed first.
Concrete patio construction
If your patio pools water or tips toward the house, we rebuild it sloped to carry water out to the yard.
Stamped concrete services
Pattern and color pressed into fresh concrete so a patio or walkway reads like stone, over the same packed base.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways and front paths, worth redoing once a lifted or broken section starts catching feet on the way to your door.
Garage floor concrete
A garage slab poured new or replaced once it's cracked or pitted, finished smooth or textured to suit the room.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and other finishes for when plain gray doesn't suit the house or the yard around it.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down, a concrete wall holds the soil back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't pile up.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for additions, workshops and storage rooms, poured level over a packed base so floors on top sit flat.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs grip underfoot and a slope that drains away from the water and the house.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps rebuilt when they've cracked, settled or pulled away from the house, every one the same height.
Slab foundation building
The slab a new addition or outbuilding sits on, with rebar, steel bars that hold the concrete together, set before the pour.
Foundation installation
Foundations for additions and new buildings, dug, formed and poured to the plans that go in with your permit.
Concrete parking lot building
Small commercial lots that crack or hold water, rebuilt in concrete with the drainage worked out before the pour.
Concrete footings
Footings carry a deck, wall or addition down to firm ground, so we size them for what will sit on top.
Foundation raising
If a slab has dropped on one side or doors start sticking, raising can lift it back, depending on what's underneath.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new door, a drain line or a damaged section, so the rest of the slab stays whole.
Permits in Campbell come first. Then we plan the pour.
The City of Campbell's building department issues permits for all construction in the city, so when your job needs one, the city's review sets our start date. On permit work the contractor must keep a license in good standing with the state licensing board and a current Campbell business license for the whole job, so ask to see both.
When your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and set up the inspections, and if it isn't clear, we check with the city before we schedule anything. Price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work the ground needs, and I'll write your estimate on site.

(650) 447-1063Concrete in Campbell has to last. Most of that is underneath.
When the base is raked level instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles with the dirt under it and cracks where nobody chose. A slab that slopes toward the house sends water at the foundation, and concrete placed in midday heat can come up weak and dusty on top.
That's why the base is the last place I'd cut, even though it's the first thing a tight budget wants to trim. We dig down to the subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, pack the base, and work out where the water goes before anything gets formed.

Questions about concrete in Campbell. Start with these.
Read through these answers about permits, work hours and cracks, and if your question isn't here, call us and I'll talk it through with you.
Do I need a permit for a concrete retaining wall in Campbell?
Yes, if the wall is taller than 3 feet, since the city requires a building permit for walls over that height. A wall over 6 feet, or one that doesn't fit the city's wall standards, also needs a Fence Exception approved through the Planning Division first, so we work out what your retaining wall needs before we schedule it.
How long does permit review take for concrete work in Campbell?
The city's guide asks you to allow at least 4 to 6 weeks for the first round of plan review and 2 to 4 weeks for later rounds. Simpler permits, such as fences, can be issued over the counter or within 1 to 2 weeks, so we file early and plan the pour around the city's answer.
What hours can contractors pour concrete in Campbell?
The city lists construction hours of 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturdays, with no work on Sundays or state and federal holidays. On a hot day we book the concrete truck for early in that window, so the pour isn't fighting midday heat.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Not the way the old one did if the base and joints are right, though all concrete cracks a little as it shrinks. Control joints, grooves we cut so it cracks along lines we pick, keep those cracks in the grooves, and old driveways that broke up usually had a raked base or joints cut late. Those are the two things we watch closest on a driveway.
