Concrete contractor in Everett, WA

Bluff-top lots in View Ridge-Madison and Boulevard Bluffs have grade changes that direct water runoff toward the downhill edge of any slab. That concentrated water flow erodes the base unevenly, causing the downhill sections to settle faster than the uphill sections. Driveways on these lots need drainage slope built into the pour and a base depth that accounts for the soil conditions at that elevation.

Yes. Walkways on early 20th-century homes in Riverside and Broadway often have heaved sections caused by mature tree roots growing beneath the slab. We remove the old concrete, assess the root situation, and pour new walkways with joint placement and slab depth adjusted for the specific conditions on that lot. The finish can match the character of the home or be updated to a more modern look.

A section that has sunk near the garage apron is a sign that the base beneath it has eroded or shifted. Patching the surface will not stop the slab from continuing to settle. The right fix is to remove the affected section, rebuild the base with properly compacted gravel, and pour a new slab that is tied into the adjacent concrete at the correct grade.

Yes. Retaining walls are a common scope on Everett's bluff-top and hillside properties, where grade changes between the street and the home create soil management challenges. The wall height, footing depth, and drainage behind the wall depend on the slope, soil type, and what is being retained. We size the wall for the actual load conditions on the property.
