Sacramento-metro specialty
About this service
Most parking lots are paved with asphalt and they wear out on a 7–15 year cycle. Concrete parking lots cost more up front and last 30–40 years with virtually no maintenance — no annual seal coats, no crack-fill, no overlay every decade. For lots that see heavy loads (truck routes, delivery vehicles, dumpsters, mobile equipment), concrete is almost always the better economic choice when the full lifecycle is honestly priced.
What kills concrete parking lots — when they do fail prematurely — is undersized slab thickness, weak sub-base, or joint layouts that ignore the rack/truck patterns above. We design parking-lot slabs to the actual load they'll see: car-only lots at 5 inches, delivery and light commercial at 6 inches, garbage trucks and heavy industrial at 7–8 inches with thickened-edge panels at dumpster pads and turning radii.
Lots include forming, sub-base prep, reinforcement, pour, finish, jointing, curing, and striping. We work with engineers of record on larger lots, pull permits in every metro jurisdiction, and stage work to keep partial operations running through replacement of phased sections.
Working in Citrus Heights
Every Sacramentoneighborhood has its own soil, drainage, and permitting realities. Here's what we've learned pouring concrete in Citrus Heights.
Citrus Heights is a mix of 1950s post-war tract homes and 1980s suburban infill. The older Birdcage and Foothill Farms areas have settled sub-grade and decades of root encroachment from mature trees — re-pours here almost always need root barriers and partial sub-base replacement, not just a surface tear-out. Younger Stock Ranch lots are cleaner pours on stable engineered fill.
Citrus Heights has its own Public Works since incorporation in 1997 — permit process is short and predictable. HOAs are minimal here; most neighborhoods are unrestricted. The bigger constraint is mature-tree heritage protection on some lots, which limits how much demo we can do near a trunk; we core-cut and form around protected roots when needed.
Aging driveways with shifted slabs from oak roots dominate residential work — full removal with root barrier and re-pour is the typical scope. We also do a steady run of walkway and trip-hazard repairs in Birdcage and Foothill Farms. Sunrise Mall and Auburn Boulevard commercial corridors give us pad and parking-lot work.

What's Included
These are the specifications and details we build in by default. Not upgrades. Not extras. Standard scope on every project.
Slab thickness matched to the actual vehicle load: 5 inches for car-only, 6 inches for delivery, 7–8 inches plus thickened pads for heavy truck. No one-size-fits-all spec.
Dumpster pads get a thickened-edge slab (8–10 inches) with extra reinforcement. Standard slab thickness under a loaded dumpster lasts about 2 years before it cracks.
Joint patterns laid out to keep individual panels within engineered length-to-width ratios, with isolation joints around light poles, manhole frames, and at building junctions.
Class II aggregate sub-base compacted to 95% relative compaction, with geo-textile fabric where the underlying soil is weak or wet. The slab is only as good as what's under it.
Final striping includes ADA-compliant stall counts and dimensions, accessible aisles, and access path striping back to the building entrance. Coordinated with the slab pour.
For existing lots being replaced while the business stays open, we phase work so half the lot is available at any time. Daily clean-up to keep the customer experience usable.
Our Process
Walk the site, identify vehicle types and frequency, locate dumpsters and delivery zones, check existing drainage. Pavement design recommendation follows.
For lots over 5,000 sq ft, engineer-stamped pavement design and permit applications. Smaller lots use our standard design, still permit-pulled.
Demo existing pavement, haul off, regrade subgrade, install Class II base and compact to spec. Geo-textile installed where needed.
Forms set to drainage spec, reinforcement placed, concrete poured per the engineered sequence with finishers riding power trowels for large slabs.
Saw-cut joints within 4–8 hours, curing compound applied, cure for 7 days minimum, then stripe per ADA and the approved layout.
