Concrete built for the way you use your property in Santa Maria, CA
J&D Santa Maria Concrete Company builds concrete for homeowners and property owners, and we tell you straight what your job needs, even when that's a smaller fix than you had in mind.

Concrete work we do around Santa Maria
Every job starts with me on your site, looking at the ground, the access and what you're after. Price and schedule turn mostly on size, tear-out, base work, finish and weather. Your written estimate spells out each part.
Concrete driveway building
We tear out the old driveway, dig out and pack a solid base, and pour a new slab sloped so water runs away from the house.

Concrete patio construction
A patio gets the same packed base as a driveway, plus control joints, cut grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack instead of a random one.

Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick. It still needs the same solid base underneath.

Concrete sidewalk building
When a walkway has heaved or cracked into trip edges, we replace it with a straight, even walk that sheds water off to the side.

Garage floor concrete
A garage slab takes car weight every day, so we set rebar, steel bars that keep cracked pieces from separating, and trowel the top smooth for easy sweeping.

Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and custom finishes for when plain gray doesn't suit the house or yard. We'll walk you through what each finish looks like before you pick.

Concrete retaining walls
Concrete walls that hold back a slope or level a yard, built on a proper footing with drainage so water pressure doesn't build up against them.

Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions and barns. We compact the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, before pouring, because soft spots turn into cracks later.

Concrete pool decks
The deck around a pool needs grip when wet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and the house. We plan both before we set forms.

Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps with even rises, so nobody catches a toe, and a solid footing so they don't pull away from the house over time.

Slab foundation building
For a new house, addition or garage, a slab foundation is a single pour that carries the walls. The forms, steel and footings get checked before the truck arrives.

Foundation installation
Perimeter foundations with stem walls, the short concrete walls a house frame sits on, formed and poured by our own crew to the approved plans.

Concrete parking lot building
Lots and drive aisles for shops, offices and small commercial properties, built thicker than a home driveway and sloped to drains so water doesn't sit where people park.

Concrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete under posts, walls and additions that spread the weight into the ground. We dig them to the depth your plans call for.

Foundation raising
If floors slope or doors stick, part of the foundation may have settled. We find out why before lifting and supporting it back toward level.

Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for new doors, plumbing trenches or removing a damaged section, so the concrete you keep stays intact.

Questions people ask before we pour
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Santa Maria?
It depends on size, how much old concrete we tear out and haul, how much base work the ground needs, truck access and the finish you pick. If the budget's tight, trim the finish before the base, because a nice top on a soft base still sinks and cracks.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and we'll give you both dates for your pour. Concrete keeps getting stronger for days while it cures, slowly hardening as long as it holds its moisture, and weather and the mix change how fast.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
Some fine cracking is normal because concrete shrinks as it dries, but a good slab cracks where we plan it to, in the control joints. Old slabs usually break up because the base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or the joints were cut late or skipped.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Santa Maria?
It depends on the job, so check with the city's Building Division at (805) 925-0951 ext. 2241. The city has exempted retaining walls up to 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing, unless they hold back extra weight. Outside city limits, ask that city or the county instead.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, in most cases. The state licensing board requires one when the job needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. You can check any contractor, us included, with the board's license lookup, which also shows complaint disclosures.
