Camarillo homes and the concrete around them
We're based in Agoura Hills, and Camarillo is a short drive up the 101, past Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks. Most of what we get called for here is homeowner work: cracked or sinking driveways, backyard patios, side walkways and front steps on single-story houses in neighborhoods that went in decades ago. A lot of those older slabs were poured on dirt that was raked smooth instead of dug out and packed, and that's usually what we find when we break them out.
The ground shifts across the city, from flatter lots on the side toward Oxnard to lots that climb into the hills. The subgrade, the dirt a slab sits on, is the part nobody can fully judge until the old concrete is up, and it's usually what moves the price and the schedule, so I look for soft spots and drainage at the estimate and tell you what we might find.
What Camarillo's weather and older slabs mean for concrete
- Camarillo averages about 12 inches of rain a year, mostly in winter, so a slab that tips toward your house shows it the first wet month.
- Warm, dry afternoons make concrete set fast, so we start pours early, because a slab that dries too quickly ends up with a weak, dusty top.
- Concrete shrinks as it dries and nearly every slab cracks somewhere, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the crack a straight line to follow, soon after the pour.
Concrete work we do for Camarillo homes
Concrete driveway building
Older driveways here that have cracked or sunk get broken out, dug down to firm ground and rebuilt on a packed base before we pour.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio needs a slight fall away from the house so rain runs out to the yard, not toward your back door or under the slab.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walkway the look of stone or brick, and we press the pattern while the slab is still soft enough to take it.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways along the side of a single-story house often heave or tip toward the wall, and we rebuild them to carry water away from the foundation.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or stained garage floor can be broken out and repoured on a fresh base, with joints cut so any new crack follows a straight line.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed aggregate or a scored border can give a front entry or patio some character without changing how we build the slab underneath it.
Concrete retaining walls
Lots that back up to a slope need walls that hold the dirt and let water drain from behind, because trapped water is what pushes walls over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for a workshop or converted garage start with a moisture barrier and a level base, so the flooring you set on top has a flat surface.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks need a finish with grip for wet feet and a slope that sends splash water to drains, not back into the pool or under the deck.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps that have pulled away from the porch or cracked at the edges get rebuilt with steel inside and even risers, so nobody catches a toe.
Slab foundation building
A new slab for an addition or accessory unit gets rebar, steel bars that keep cracks from spreading apart, set at the right height before we pour.
Foundation installation
When a detached garage, studio or other new structure needs a foundation, we dig, form and pour it to the plans your engineer or designer drew.
Concrete parking lot building
Small business lots and shared driveways take more traffic than a home driveway, so they need a thicker slab and a deeper, well-packed base.
Concrete footings
Block walls, patio covers and posts carry their weight on footings, so we dig them down to firm ground instead of the loose fill near the surface.
Foundation raising
If a slab or part of a house has settled, we look at why it sank first, because lifting it without dealing with the ground underneath just buys time.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut clean openings for a new drain line, a wider driveway or a doorway, so the concrete you keep has a straight, finished edge.

Do I need a permit to grade my yard in Camarillo?
Yes, the City of Camarillo issues grading permits for any grading, with a separate permit for each site, and one permit can cover both digging out and filling. The application asks for the estimated amount of dirt being moved, and jobs over 1,000 cubic yards need a plan from a civil engineer plus a bond of $3.00 per cubic yard, which is far more dirt than most driveway or patio jobs move. We check with the city for your address before we start, and if your job needs a permit, I tell you at the estimate and we apply for it before any work begins.
How do I file permit plans in Camarillo?
You file them online, because since July 1, 2025 the city no longer takes paper plans and every plan submission goes through its online permitting system. If you have questions, the public counter at City Hall answers at (805) 388-5340, and when your job needs a permit, we apply for it for you.
Does my concrete contractor need a California state license?
Usually yes, because the California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a project needs a building permit, uses employees, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Home improvement contractors have to be licensed before they even bid, though the board lists a few exemptions, and we're licensed and fully insured.
Does a contractor from another city need a Camarillo business license?
Yes, anyone doing business in Camarillo has to pay the city's yearly business tax, and a business license from another city doesn't take its place. An out-of-town contractor still has to apply with the city's business tax division, so it's a fair thing to ask before you hire.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Camarillo?
There's no fair number until I've seen your driveway, because the size, how much old concrete we haul off and how much base work the ground needs set most of the price. The finish moves it too, and a broom finish, the light texture dragged across the top for grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. If the budget gets tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, since the base is the one thing you can't fix later without tearing the slab out.
How long does a new concrete driveway take to cure before I can drive on it?
Usually a day or two before you walk on it and about a week before you drive on it, a little longer when the weather's cool. Curing, the time concrete takes to harden, keeps going well after the top looks dry, and parking on it early is how edges chip and cracks start, so we'll tell you when it's ready for your car.
