Wilsonville homes and lots where we pour concrete
As a concrete contractor based in Woodburn, OR, we come up to Wilsonville for driveways, backyard patios, front steps and garage floors in its planned neighborhoods, plus slabs and parking areas for small businesses. A lot of houses here sit close together, and the driveway is often the only way in and out. That's why I work out how the truck and the crew will reach the forms before anything else. We do the same work next door in Tualatin and over in Canby.
The price on these jobs moves with how much old concrete comes out, how much base we dig and pack, and how easy the access is. The schedule turns on your permit and on curing, which is the wait while new concrete hardens enough to use. I'll give you your own figure once I've seen the site, and on lots this tight the ground under the slab gets as much of my attention as the surface.
What we find under Wilsonville driveways and patios
- Many Wilsonville subdivisions have their own standards, and those can differ from the city's zoning rules, so we look at what your neighborhood allows before laying out a new driveway.
- Most sinking slabs we tear out sat on a subgrade, the dirt underneath, that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so they settled.
- Pooling water usually means nobody checked where it would run, and a patio or driveway that falls toward the house sends that water straight at your foundation.
- Cracks wandering across a slab usually mean the control joints, the cut lines that give concrete a planned place to crack, went in late or not at all.
Concrete work we do on Wilsonville properties
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk at the garage or cracked across the middle, we dig out the soft base, pack new rock and pour a new slab.
Concrete patio construction
Backyard patios here are often tucked between the house and a fence, so we plan the slope away from your foundation and the access for the pour.
Stamped concrete services
If you want the look of stone or brick on a patio or walk, we stamp the pattern into fresh concrete and seal it to protect the surface.
Concrete sidewalk building
When a front walk has settled into a trip edge, we replace it over a packed base with a broom finish, the light texture that gives shoes grip.
Garage floor concrete
Cracked or dusty garage floors usually come from a weak top or a poor base, and we pour a new slab that holds up to cars and storage.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed aggregate with the stones showing on top, and borders can make a patio or entry match your house without the upkeep of pavers.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard drops off beside a driveway or patio, we build a retaining wall on a footing, with drainage behind it so water doesn't sit against it.
Concrete floor installation
For shops, outbuildings and additions, we pour interior floors flat over a packed base so equipment, shelving and flooring sit level.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we slope the deck away from the water and the house and give it a finish with enough texture for bare feet.
Concrete steps construction
When front steps have pulled away from the house or cracked at the edges, we rebuild them with rebar, steel bars inside that hold the concrete together.
Slab foundation building
For a new garage, shop or addition, we pour the slab foundation over a dug-out, compacted base so the building above has something solid to sit on.
Foundation installation
Builders and homeowners call us for foundation walls on new homes and additions, checked for square and level before the pour because the framing sits on them.
Concrete parking lot building
For small business lots and drive aisles, we pour thick enough for delivery trucks and plan the slope so water heads to the drains, not the door.
Concrete footings
Decks, porch covers, posts and small additions need footings, the buried concrete pads that spread the load, and we dig them down to firm ground.
Foundation raising
When a corner of the house has settled and doors start sticking, we look at why it moved first, then raise and support the foundation.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut openings for doors and drains, trim a cracked section out of a driveway, or cut control joints in a slab that never got them.

Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Wilsonville?
The city's Building Division is the office to ask, since it issues building permits for homes and the structures that go with them, and every permit is submitted online through the city's Online Portal. If the project includes wiring, say lights in a new patio, electrical permits for Wilsonville come through Clackamas County at 503-742-4240. Before we set a date, I go over which office handles yours and who'll apply, and when it makes sense we file the paperwork as part of the job.
Does a large concrete driveway in Wilsonville need an erosion control permit?
It can, because the city requires an Erosion Control permit anytime a construction project disturbs more than 500 square feet of soil. A full driveway tear-out, or a driveway and patio dug at the same time, can get past that, so I measure the dig area when I look at the site. The city's forms and permits page lists that permit under Engineering.
How do I find where the service lines run under my yard in Wilsonville?
The city's Wilsonville Maps site may have records of the service lines on your property. Search with your address number only, no street name, then open the box in the upper right corner and click documents. It's worth pulling up before any digging, and I'm happy to look at it with you when I come out.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Wilsonville?
Your price comes from the tear-out, base and access work I described above, plus the size of the slab and the finish you pick, so I give you your own number after seeing the site. If you need to save somewhere, trim the finish and leave the base alone. Nobody sees the base on pour day, but it decides whether the slab sinks, and a plain broom finish can always be dressed up later.
How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced in Wilsonville?
Plan on parking somewhere else for several days after the pour, because concrete keeps curing well after it looks dry, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it. The tear-out and base work come first, and permit timing can move the start, so I lay out the order for your job before we set a date. With houses close together here, it helps to sort out street parking ahead of time.
What causes a concrete patio to crack in Wilsonville, and will a new one crack too?
Some cracking is normal because concrete shrinks as it dries, but the cracks that ruin a patio usually come from a soft base or control joints cut late or skipped. We pack the base, add rebar where the slab needs it and cut the joints on time, so any cracks that do show up are far more likely to stay in those lines than run across the middle.
