Fillmore driveways, patios and the ground under them
We're a concrete contractor based in Agoura Hills, CA, and Fillmore is one of the cities around it where I come out to look at the job, write the estimate and work the pour alongside our crew. We do the same work in Moorpark and Simi Valley, and out toward the coast in Port Hueneme.
Most Fillmore calls are about a driveway, patio or walk that's cracked, sunk or holding water. The price mostly moves with the size, how much old concrete comes out and gets hauled away, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose, and the schedule turns on the tear-out, any permit the job needs and the cure before you use it. Your own figure comes in the written estimate. Under an old slab, the dirt usually tells the real story, because whatever let it settle is still down there until we dig it out and pack a new base.
Fillmore slabs and what makes them last
- Lots of driveways we see in Fillmore carry pickups and trailers, so we size the slab and the rebar, the steel that holds cracked pieces together, for that load.
- When a patio or walk tips toward the house, water pools against the wall, so we check where the water runs before the forms go in.
- If the budget is tight, I'd drop a fancy finish before thinning the base, because a plain broom finish, brushed lines for grip, lasts on a base that holds.
Concrete work we do for Fillmore homes
Concrete driveway building
When your driveway has sunk, split or holds water, we break it out, dig and pack a new base, and pour a slab sloped away from the garage.
Concrete patio construction
A patio that's cracked, uneven or tipping toward the house gets torn out and rebuilt on a packed base, and it's a good time to make it bigger.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete presses a stone or brick pattern into a fresh patio or walk, and it only looks right for years when the slab underneath is built right.
Concrete sidewalk building
We replace front walks and paths that have heaved or broken into trip hazards, so you can get from the driveway to the door without watching your feet.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor that's cracked, stained or sloping the wrong way can be broken out and repoured, with the slab pitched toward the door so water runs out.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and other finishes that make a walk or patio match your house, and we'll tell you which ones hold up underfoot.
Concrete retaining walls
On a sloped yard, a retaining wall holds the dirt back so a patio or driveway sits level, and we plan the drainage behind it too.
Concrete floor installation
For a workshop, a room addition or a converted space, we pour interior concrete floors flat and smooth, ready for the covering or sealer you plan to put down.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck has to shed splash water away from the pool and the house and stay grippy when it's wet, so the finish choice matters here.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps that have cracked, settled or pulled away from the house get rebuilt with even risers, so nobody catches a toe on one tall step.
Slab foundation building
For a new garage or addition, we dig out and pack the subgrade, the dirt the slab rests on, before we form and pour the slab foundation.
Foundation installation
When a new structure needs footings and walls rather than a slab, we lay out, dig, form and pour the foundation to the approved plans.
Concrete parking lot building
For a shop, church or apartment lot, we pour concrete parking areas thick enough for the traffic and sloped so rain runs to the drains instead of standing.
Concrete footings
Footings carry the weight of a block wall, a patio cover or an addition, so we dig them to depth and pour them before anything goes on top.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has dropped at one end, raising it can sometimes beat tearing it out, and we'll tell you which makes sense.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut old concrete to widen a driveway, run a pipe or remove a broken section cleanly, so the slab you keep doesn't crack from a ragged edge.

How do I find out if my concrete driveway or patio needs a permit in Fillmore?
Ask the city's Building & Safety staff, because they issue building permits in Fillmore and they're the first contact before any construction work. The city's exemption list names fences up to 6 feet and small one-story sheds, not slabs, so don't assume a driveway or patio is exempt. We check with the building office for your address before we start, and if your job needs a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate and apply for it before any work begins.
Does a concrete contractor need a California license to work in Fillmore?
Yes, whenever the job needs a building permit, uses employee labor or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, the California Contractors State License Board requires a license. A project can't be broken into smaller contracts to get under that $1,000 mark, and Fillmore only issues building permits to licensed contractors and owner-builders. We're licensed and fully insured, and it's fair to ask anyone you're considering about theirs.
Does a contractor from outside Fillmore need a city business license?
Yes, the city requires a City Business License from anyone who starts or carries on business in Fillmore, and that includes contractors from outside city limits. Those businesses pay the basic rate plus an out-of-city rate, which the city's fee table lists at $114. We're based in Agoura Hills, so that rule applies to us when we work here.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Fillmore, CA?
The cost depends on your driveway's size and the ground under it, so the honest figure comes from the written estimate after I've seen it. Beyond size and tear-out, the big swings are extra digging where the dirt is soft, a retaining wall on a sloped lot, and a stamped or colored finish instead of a plain broom finish.
What causes concrete driveways in Fillmore to crack and sink?
Most sinking comes from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab drops as the dirt under it settles. Random cracks usually mean the control joints, the grooves cut so the slab cracks along a line we chose, went in late or not at all. Concrete can still crack, but we pack the base and cut joints on time so a crack lands where it's meant to.
How long does a new concrete driveway take before I can drive on it?
Not right away, because new concrete has to cure, the slow hardening that gives it strength, and a car is a lot more weight than feet. We'll tell you when it's ready for walking and when it's ready for driving, and parking on the street a little longer is cheap next to a slab marked or cracked early.
