Our Services
We bring over two decades of combined experience to every Castro Valley project, whether you need a new driveway installation or decorative concrete work.
Working with Castro Valley's Hillside Properties
Here in Castro Valley, we work with a lot of hillside homes and sloped driveways. The terrain around the Castro Valley hills means your concrete work needs proper grading and drainage planning from day one. We have poured hundreds of driveways on slopes throughout the area, from the neighborhoods near Five Canyons up to the properties along Redwood Road.
Your hillside driveway needs more than just a standard pour. We factor in slope angles, water runoff patterns, and soil stability to ensure your concrete lasts for decades. Many Castro Valley homes have steeper driveways than nearby flatland communities like San Leandro or San Lorenzo, which is why we use specialized techniques for proper adhesion and curing on inclines.
We also see a lot of older properties built in the 1960s and 70s that need driveway replacement due to settling and cracking. The clay-heavy soil here shifts more than in other parts of the East Bay, so we always prepare a proper base to prevent future movement.
Backyard Patios That Handle Bay Area Weather
Castro Valley gets its share of winter rain, and your backyard patio needs to handle the moisture without cracking or settling. We install concrete patios with proper pitch and drainage so water flows away from your home's foundation. This is especially important for properties in the flatter areas near Castro Valley Boulevard and the neighborhoods around the BART station.
Many of your neighbors are upgrading their outdoor spaces, and concrete patios are a popular choice because they hold up better than wood decks in our climate. You do not have to worry about rotting boards or constant maintenance. A well-installed concrete patio just needs an occasional wash and reseal every few years.
We also handle patio extensions and custom shapes to fit your yard's layout. Whether you have a small backyard typical of homes near the Castro Valley Elementary area or a larger lot up in the hills, we design patios that maximize your usable outdoor space and complement your home's style.
Foundation Work for Additions and ADUs
With housing demand growing in the East Bay, many Castro Valley homeowners are adding ADUs or building room additions. We pour concrete foundations for these projects, ensuring they meet Alameda County building codes and pass inspections the first time.
Foundation work here requires careful attention to soil conditions. Castro Valley sits on a mix of clay and decomposed granite, which can expand and contract with moisture changes. We excavate to proper depth, compact the base thoroughly, and use rebar reinforcement to create a stable foundation that will not shift or crack over time.
We also work with local contractors and architects who are familiar with the area's building requirements. If you are planning an ADU in your backyard or a garage conversion, we coordinate with your builder to ensure the foundation is poured on schedule and meets structural specifications.
Our team has completed foundation work throughout Castro Valley, from smaller single-story additions near the Lake Chabot area to larger multi-level projects in the hillside neighborhoods. We handle the permitting process and work closely with county inspectors to keep your project moving forward.
Our Process
We follow a proven three-step process to deliver quality concrete work that lasts. Here is what you can expect when you work with us.
We start by visiting your property to assess the scope of work. We measure the area, check the slope and drainage, and examine soil conditions. This is especially important in Castro Valley where hillside properties and clay soil require special attention. We discuss your goals, timeline, and budget, then provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees.
Retaining Walls for Hillside Properties
If your property has significant elevation changes, you might need retaining walls to prevent erosion and create usable flat areas. This is common throughout Castro Valley's hillside neighborhoods where homes are built on slopes. We design and build concrete retaining walls that are both functional and attractive.
A properly built retaining wall does more than hold back soil. It needs drainage behind it to prevent water pressure from building up, which can cause the wall to lean or crack. We install drainage systems and backfill with gravel to keep your wall stable through wet winters and dry summers.
Many Castro Valley homeowners use retaining walls to create terraced yards, adding garden beds, flat lawn areas, or extended patio spaces. We can build walls in various heights and styles, from simple utilitarian walls to decorative masonry that enhances your landscaping.
If you are dealing with erosion issues or want to expand your usable yard space, retaining walls are an investment that pays off in both function and property value. We have built walls throughout the area and understand the engineering requirements for safe, long-lasting results.
