Concrete Contractor services in Davis
Two things shape concrete work in Davis more than anything else: the trees and the clay. The city has one of the thickest street tree canopies in the region, and roots from mature trees have raised sidewalk panels and driveway edges across Old North Davis, Central Davis and the older parts of East Davis. The soil is flat valley clay that moves with the seasons, so a slab needs a firm rock base and joints placed with care. Housing ranges from early bungalows near downtown and the university to 1970s tracts in West Davis, then Mace Ranch, Wildhorse and The Cannery. Many lots back onto greenbelts and bike paths, which limits truck access, and a pump or wheelbarrows may be needed to reach a back yard. Davis is in Yolo County and has its own review for drainage and paving, so we look at the rules before we draw a layout.

Permits and local rules
Davis normally requires an encroachment permit for work in the public right of way, including sidewalks and driveway approaches. The city protects certain trees, so cutting roots near a street tree or a large private tree may need city review first. Flat concrete on your own lot is often exempt from a building permit under the state building code, but zoning setbacks and coverage rules still apply. We confirm the current rules with the city for your address.
