We come to your property, look at the area in person, and take measurements. We check the soil, the drainage, and any existing surface that needs to come out. You get a written quote that spells out exactly what is included - demo, base prep, the pour, and permits. No guessing on the final number.
Once you approve the quote, we pull any required permits and schedule your project. Our crew handles everything - demolition, base preparation, the pour, and cleanup. We communicate clearly throughout so you always know what day we are coming and what to expect. When we leave, your property is clean and your new concrete is ready to cure.
We carry full liability insurance and are registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. You can verify our registration on the L&I website before we ever set foot on your property.

We had a driveway that had been cracking for years and kept getting worse every winter. The crew came out, pulled the old concrete, prepped the base properly, and poured a new one in two days. It has been two seasons now and not a single crack. They also handled the permit, which I did not even have to think about.
Marcus T., Tacoma - Concrete driveway building
Our backyard was basically unusable from October to May because it was just mud. We had a concrete patio poured last April - 300 square feet with a broom finish - and now we actually step outside in the rain without tracking everything into the house. The slope is right, the drainage is right, and it looks clean.
Diane R., Puyallup - Concrete patio construction
I needed a set of concrete steps replaced at the front of the house before listing it. They matched the width of the original steps, got the height right so there is no trip hazard, and finished the job in one day. The inspector on the buyer side actually commented that the steps looked new. Helped us close on time.

Concrete outlasts asphalt in wet climates - typically 30-50 years versus 15-20 for asphalt. The key difference is that concrete does not soften in heat or get displaced by water the way asphalt does. In Lakewood's rainy winters, a properly sealed concrete surface stays firm and drain-ready season after season.
Hairline cracks are normal as concrete cures and adjusts to temperature changes. You should be concerned when a crack is wider than a pencil, runs diagonally across a slab rather than along a joint, or has caused one section to rise above another. Those patterns signal base movement, not just surface aging.
Lakewood sees 30-40 below-freezing nights per year. When water seeps into surface pores and freezes, it expands and chips the top layer away - a process called spalling. A quality penetrating sealer applied at installation, and reapplied every 2-3 years, is the most effective defense against this in the South Sound climate.
Mature trees and concrete do not coexist peacefully on a long timeline. Roots follow moisture and grow under slabs, eventually lifting and cracking them from below. In Lakewood's older neighborhoods, this is one of the most common reasons sidewalks need full replacement. Patching over a root problem does not stop the root.
You cannot see base preparation once the concrete is poured. But you can see it three years later when sections start sinking, tilting, or cracking diagonally. Clay-heavy soil like much of Lakewood needs proper compaction and a gravel base layer before any pour. The Portland Cement Association identifies subbase preparation as the leading factor in long-term concrete performance.
Most concrete work in Lakewood requires a permit from the City of Lakewood before work begins. Your contractor should pull this permit - not you. Permit approval typically takes a few days to two weeks depending on the city's workload. Build this into your timeline, especially if you have a deadline like a home sale or a move. Unpermitted work can complicate a sale years later.

Most new driveways, patios above a certain size, and any flatwork connecting to a public street require a permit in Lakewood. Your contractor should pull it - if they suggest skipping it, that is a red flag.
Ask specifically: how many inches of gravel base will you install, and how will you compact the subgrade? A contractor who cannot or will not answer is likely skipping the step that matters most.
A complete quote covers demolition and removal of the old surface, subgrade preparation, gravel base, the pour, finishing, control joint cutting, cleanup, and any permit fees. If any of these are missing, ask why.
The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries provides a free contractor lookup tool you can use to verify any contractor before you sign. If you are ready to talk through your project, call us at (253) 294-7057 or request a free estimate online.
Lakewood is a city of about 70,000 people in Pierce County, sitting just southwest of Tacoma along the South Puget Sound. The city borders Joint Base Lewis-McChord - one of the largest military installations in the country - which means a steady population of homeowners, many of them military families, cycling through the area. The American Lake area, Lakewood Towne Center, and neighborhoods like Tillicum, Woodbrook, and Lakeview are spread across the city, giving it a varied feel - from established postwar suburbs to newer construction closer to the commercial corridor.
A large share of Lakewood homes were built between the 1950s and the 1970s to house military families and workers connected to Fort Lewis. After 50 to 70 years, those homes are reaching the age where driveways, sidewalks, and concrete slabs need to be replaced rather than patched. The glacially deposited soil common across Pierce County - a mix of sand, gravel, and clay - shifts with each wet season, and that movement is the main reason so many older driveways and patios in Lakewood crack and sink. Getting the base preparation right before a pour is not optional here. It is what separates concrete that lasts from concrete that needs work again in five years.
Lakewood Concrete Company works in Lakewood every week. We know the permit process through the City of Lakewood Community Development office, we know which neighborhoods have the heaviest clay soil, and we know how to schedule around the wet season so your project cures correctly. Whether you are in a 1960s ranch in Woodbrook or a newer home near American Lake, we bring the same preparation and the same standards to every job.
By appointment only, no walk-ins.
