Concrete & Landscaping Contractor Serving Martinez, CA

Martinez is home. Our shop sits on Milano Way, our trucks are loaded here every morning at six, and Ken Kincaid has been pulling permits with the City of Martinez since 1991. That matters more than it sounds: when a client in Alhambra Valley calls about a cracked driveway approach or standing water behind a garage, we can usually be standing in the yard the same day, not sometime next week. There is no mobilization fee built into a Martinez estimate because there is nothing to mobilize — we are already here.

Building in Martinez means building on hills and on old fill. Alhambra Valley and Morello Heights roll steeply enough that half the work is deciding where water is going to end up before a single form board goes down. The flats around downtown and the Marina sit on heavy expansive clay that swells in February and shrinks by August, which is exactly the movement that lifts a slab at the control joint if the subgrade was never compacted properly. Vine Hill and the older neighborhoods off Pacheco Boulevard have driveways poured in the fifties and sixties — thin, un-doweled, and often patched twice already. We spend a lot of time in Martinez back yards tearing out those slabs and repouring them at a real thickness with proper base rock and steel.

Our Martinez portfolio is mostly the unglamorous work that holds a property together for thirty years: long concrete walkways threaded through mature oaks, stone retaining walls terracing a hillside into usable lawn, re-routed area drains and French drains that finally move water to the street, plus stamped and colored patios, synthetic turf for dogs, paver driveways, fencing and putting greens. Many of our Martinez clients have hired us three and four times over the decades, and several of our Yelp reviews come from neighbors within a few miles of the shop.

If you live in Martinez and want an honest read on what your yard actually needs — including when the answer is 'repair it, don't replace it' — call us. We will walk the property with you and put the numbers in writing.
