Materials we use

What goes into every job, and a quick way to ask for the ones you want.

Know what you're paying for before the job starts. Want a particular material, a sample, or some delivered for your own project? Add it to a request and we'll call you back.

Concrete

Mixed at a local batch plant and delivered by truck. We choose the strength for the job.

  • 4,000 PSI ready-mix

    The strong mix. Stands up to cars, trucks and our freeze-thaw nights without scaling.

    Used for: Driveways, RV pads, garage floors, steps

  • 3,000 PSI ready-mix

    The standard mix for surfaces people walk on.

    Used for: Sidewalks, patios, mow strips

  • Fiber-reinforced mix

    Tiny fibers mixed through the concrete to hold surface cracks tight. Added on request.

    Used for: Patios and slabs where a hairline crack would bother you

Base and reinforcement

What's under the concrete matters as much as the concrete. Caliche soil moves, so nothing is poured straight on dirt.

  • Base course gravel

    Crushed gravel, spread and compacted under every slab.

    Used for: Under every driveway, walk and pad

    $55 per cubic yard, delivered, for your own projects, before tax

  • #4 rebar grid

    Half-inch steel bars tied in a grid and set on chairs so they end up in the middle of the slab, not the bottom.

    Used for: Driveways, pads, steps

    Part of the job, not sold on its own

  • 10-mil vapor barrier

    Heavy plastic under indoor slabs to keep ground moisture out of your floor.

    Used for: Garage floors, sheds, room additions

Finishes

How the top of the concrete looks and feels. Each one is priced in the calculator.

  • Broom finish

    A fine brushed texture for grip. The standard for driveways and walks.

    Used for: Driveways, walks, steps

    Part of the job, not sold on its own

  • Exposed aggregate

    The top layer is washed off to show the rounded river rock in the mix. Tough, grippy and hides dirt.

    Used for: Driveways, pool decks, patios

  • Stamped patterns

    Slate, flagstone and brick patterns pressed into the concrete, with color mixed in and a release color on top.

    Used for: Patios, walkways, front entries

  • Decorative river rock, 3/4 inch

    The same rounded rock we use in exposed aggregate, for landscaping around your new concrete.

    Used for: Borders, beds, drainage

    $95 per cubic yard, delivered, before tax

Sealers and joints

What keeps new concrete looking new.

  • Acrylic cure and seal

    Rolled on the day of the pour. Slows drying so the surface cures hard, and adds a light sheen.

    Used for: Stamped and colored concrete, repairs

  • Penetrating sealer

    Soaks in rather than sitting on top, so it doesn't change the look. Keeps out oil and water.

    Used for: Driveways and garage floors

  • Flexible crack sealant

    Stays flexible as the slab moves with the seasons, so a repaired crack stays sealed.

    Used for: Crack repairs, joints next to the house

Framing, decking and roofing

What additions, decks and patio covers are built from. Each one is named in your written quote.

  • Pressure-treated lumber

    Rated for ground contact where it touches the footings, and for the sun everywhere else. Framing and wood deck boards.

    Used for: Deck frames, wood decks, wood patio covers

    Part of the job, not sold on its own

  • Composite deck boards

    Wood fibers and plastic, capped against fading. No sanding or sealing, and no splinters.

    Used for: Decks, stairs

    Part of the job, not sold on its own

  • Metal roof panels, 26 gauge

    Ribbed steel panels with a baked-on finish that reflects the sun. Quiet, light and good for forty years.

    Used for: Patio covers, carports, additions

    Part of the job, not sold on its own

  • Sheathing, 7/16 inch

    Structural panels over the framing of additions and garages, under the stucco or siding.

    Used for: Additions, garages

    Part of the job, not sold on its own
