Concrete contractor services in Dixon, CA
Premier Dixon Concrete is a concrete contractor in Dixon, CA, and our 16 services run from new driveways and patios to lifting a slab that's sunk. Cracks, sinking and pooling water usually start with the ground under the slab or a slope nobody checked, so that's where I look first. The price mostly moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit, if your job needs one, and on curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it carries weight. Your own figure comes from an estimate at your site.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack a solid base and pour a driveway sized for your cars, sloped so rain runs to the street, not the garage.
Concrete patio construction
Want room out back for a table and grill? We build concrete patios that slope rain away from the house, finished to suit how you'll use them.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's wet, so a patio, walk or pool deck can look like stone, brick or tile.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour sidewalks and garden paths from the street to your door or around the side yard, set even and easy to walk on.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floor cracked, sunk or chipping? We break out the old slab, rebuild the base and pour a new floor thick enough for your car and workbench.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stain, exposed stone and patterned finishes, for homeowners who want a driveway or patio that looks like more than gray slab.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls for sloped yards, with a footing below and drainage behind so water runs out instead of pushing on the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Need a new floor for a shop, barn or room addition? We pour interior concrete floors flat and level, ready to seal, coat or tile.
Concrete pool decks
We pour pool decks with a textured top for wet feet and a slope that drains splash water away from the pool and house.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps crumbling or uneven? We form and pour new concrete steps with even risers and steel rebar inside to hold them together.
Slab foundation building
We build slab foundations for new homes, additions, sheds and garages, with the ground packed and the steel set before the pour.
Foundation installation
What holds up a new house or addition? We install the foundation it sits on, footings and walls set out to your plans before any concrete arrives.
Concrete parking lot building
For small property owners, we pour concrete parking lots and drive aisles with a thicker slab and drainage planned for daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads and strips under posts, walls and additions, and we dig and pour them to the depth your plans call for.
Foundation raising
Floor or slab sunk and tilted? We lift settled foundations and slabs back toward level, often without tearing them out and starting over.
Concrete cutting
We saw concrete cleanly for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or a cracked section that needs to come out, without breaking the slab around it.

Dixon homes, driveways and backyards
Dixon is a small city in Solano County, and the homes we work on range from older houses with narrow driveways to newer neighborhoods with wide drives and bare backyards waiting for a patio. It's the kind of place where people know Hall Park and plan their spring around the Dixon May Fair, and where a driveway gets used hard by trucks, trailers and family cars.
Flood zone status here is checked one address at a time, so if you're planning a slab foundation or an addition, the City of Dixon's flood zone page is a good first stop. I started Premier Dixon Concrete here in 2023 after years away from the trade, and you can read how I came back to concrete before you call.

About usFrom your first call to a cured slab
Call or send a message
Call (707) 640-8084 or send the form with a few lines about the job, like a cracked driveway, a new patio or a slab that's sunk. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out. A couple of photos help, but you don't need them.
I look at the site
I come out, walk the site with you and look at where the water runs and what the old concrete is doing. I'll ask how you'll use the new slab, whether that's two cars, a work truck or a patio table, and then you get a free estimate with no obligation.
We prep and pour
Once you say go, we take care of any permit steps first. Then we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so it doesn't sink later with loose dirt. I'm on site running our crew on pour day, start to finish.
We walk you through curing
Before we leave, I walk you through curing, how to treat the new slab, how soon you can walk on it and when it's ready for a car. We clean up the site, and if something doesn't look right later, you call me directly.

Common questions about concrete
Why do concrete quotes in Dixon vary so much?
Quotes usually differ in what happens under the slab, because one crew digs out and packs the base while another rakes the dirt level and pours. The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing cut to lower a bid, and a slab on loose dirt settles and cracks. If the budget's tight, I'd rather drop stamping or color than the base.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Dixon, CA?
The cost comes down to the square footage, whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, and the finish you pick. A broom finish, the light texture that gives tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped or colored concrete. I'll give you your figure after I see your driveway.
How long will I be without my driveway after a new concrete pour?
You're off it from tear-out until the new slab has cured enough to carry a car, and that wait runs longer than the wait to walk on it. Heat and slab thickness change the timing, so I tell you what fits your slab before we leave. If your job needs a permit, that adds time up front, before any digging starts.
Does a concrete contractor in Dixon need a license?
Yes, California requires a state contractor's license when a job needs a building permit, uses hired workers, or adds up to $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The city also requires contractors who file permits there to hold that state license and a current Dixon business license. We're licensed and insured.
How does the permit side work for a concrete job in Dixon?
If your job needs a permit, we pull it and set up the inspections, and if it's not clear whether it does, we ask the city before we start. The city lists retaining walls up to 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing, as exempt unless they hold back an added load, while a detached shed or garage over 120 square feet needs a building permit. For anything else, the city's building division answers questions.
Do you guarantee your concrete work in Dixon?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. What I won't promise is a slab that never cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures and nearly all of it shows a hairline or two. I'll tell you at the estimate what's normal and what would worry me.
How do you keep a new concrete slab from cracking in random places?
We cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, and we cut them on time. Joints cut late or skipped leave cracks wherever the slab picks, and rebar, steel bars tied in a grid inside the slab, helps hold any crack tight.
Does Dixon's weather affect a concrete pour?
Yes, mostly through summer heat and winter rain. On hot days we pour early, because concrete that dries out in midday sun ends up with a weak, dusty top. Nearby Vacaville averages about 24.5 inches of rain a year, so I check where water runs before setting the slope away from your house.
