Owner homes and rentals across Parkway
Renters live in more of Parkway's homes than owners do, so a good share of our calls here come from small property owners. We also hear from people fixing up the house they live in. The jobs are mostly everyday ones. A driveway is cracked and sinking at one corner, a front walk has gone uneven, the steps are chipping, or water pools on a backyard slab. As a concrete contractor based in Dixon, we drive over for this work and do the same jobs in the cities around it.
Concrete at a rental gets hard use, with more cars, more move-ins and less care between tenants, and the slabs we tear out here usually failed from underneath. So the job starts with the ground. We dig out the soft dirt and pack the subgrade, which is the layer the slab sits on, until it's solid, and we set the slope so water runs away from the house.
Working in Parkway under Sacramento County's rules
For Parkway homes in the unincorporated area, building permits come from Sacramento County, not a city hall, through its Building Permits and Inspection Division, and its inspectors check that the work is safe and built to code. When your job needs a permit, the county's review and inspection visits go on the schedule, so I sort that out at the estimate, not after the forms are set. Before you hire anyone, check that they hold a California contractor license. The county business license is a legal requirement for some businesses, but the county says it doesn't judge the quality of the work. We're licensed and insured.
If your job needs a permit, we pull it and set up the inspections, and if I'm not sure, I ask the county before we start. The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns mostly on permits and curing. We're on the Sacramento side often, with jobs in Lemon Hill and Rancho Cordova as well.

Concrete driveway building
Driveways at Parkway rentals carry cars every day and sink when the base was only raked flat. We dig out, pack the base and pour a slab that holds up.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks here often lift or drop at the joints and turn into a trip spot for tenants and guests. We break out the bad sections and pour them back level.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps take a beating from move-ins and daily traffic until the edges chip away. We form and pour new steps with even risers and a grippy finish.
Concrete patio construction
Plenty of backyard slabs here hold water or tip toward the house. We pour patios that slope away from your walls so rain runs off into the yard.
Foundation installation
When an owner here adds a room or a garage, foundation installation decides how everything above it holds up. We dig, set the forms and steel, and pour to the plans.
Concrete cutting
Sometimes only one cracked or sunken section of a driveway needs to go. We saw-cut it out cleanly so the rest stays put and the patch ties in.
What happens when you call us about a Parkway job
Call or send a message
Tell us what you've got, such as a cracked driveway, a sinking walk or a new slab. We get back to you and set a day for me to come out.
I walk the site
I come out myself, look at the old concrete and where the water runs, and ask how you'll use the slab. Then you get a price for your job, so you know the cost before anything starts.
Permits and ground prep
Once you say go, we handle any county permit steps, and the county takes plans only electronically, so that part moves without office visits. Then we dig out, pack the base and set the forms.
Pour and go over curing
I'm on site running our crew for the pour. Before we leave, I walk you through curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, which usually means walking on it after a day or two and driving on it after about a week.
Common questions
What permits does Sacramento County issue for concrete work in Parkway?
The county issues building permits, and its permit directory also lists grading and encroachment permits, which can come into play on concrete work. The county's Do I Need a Permit? guide for home projects is a good first check. If your job needs a permit, we pull it and book the inspections.
Does a concrete contractor in Parkway need a California state license?
Yes, in most cases. California requires a state contractor license when a job needs a building permit, uses any workers beyond the contractor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The exemption for small work only covers jobs under $1,000 with no permit and no employees, so most driveways and patios fall under the license rule.
Which building code applies to concrete projects in Parkway in 2026?
Projects submitted for a county permit now fall under the 2025 California Building Standards Code. That's the code the county's inspectors check your job against when they come out, so we build to it from the start.
How do I find out if my Parkway home is in a flood zone?
Check your parcel on the county's flood zone information page, which lists four ways to look it up for homes in the unincorporated area. Flood status goes parcel by parcel, so your neighbor's answer may not be yours. Either way, we check where water runs on your lot and slope the slab away from the house.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Parkway, CA?
Your price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, how much base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick. If the budget's tight, save on the finish, because a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped. Don't cut the base, though. Nobody sees it the day we pour, but it decides whether the slab settles. I'll give you your own number at the estimate.
What causes a concrete driveway to crack, and will a new one crack too?
Most bad cracks come from a base that settles, water working under the slab, or joints cut late or not at all. All concrete shrinks as it cures, so we cut control joints, the straight grooves that give a crack a place to form where it won't show, and we set rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together if a crack opens. A thin line in a joint is normal. A slab that drops and breaks apart is not.
