Our concrete work in Santa Paula
We're based in Oxnard and pour concrete in Santa Paula, as we do in Fillmore and Thousand Oaks. We build new driveways, patios, walks and steps, and where an old slab has cracked or sunk, we break it out and start again from the ground up.
The price turns on the size, how much old concrete comes out and the finish you pick, and the schedule turns on whether the city requires a permit. Your written estimate shows what's included.

(805) 342-2850Questions about concrete work in Santa Paula
Do I need a permit for a driveway, patio or retaining wall in Santa Paula?
Retaining walls over 3 feet, from the top of the footing to the top of the wall, need a permit from the City of Santa Paula's Building and Safety Department, but its list doesn't settle whether a flat driveway or patio does. When it isn't clear, we ask the department before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Can I pull my own permit for concrete work at my Santa Paula house?
Yes, the city lets either the property owner or a licensed contractor take out a permit for work at a residence. If you hire us and the job needs one, we prepare and file it ourselves and meet the inspector on site.
When does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Under the Contractors State License Board's rules, a license applies when a project needs a building permit or uses employee labor, or when one or more contracts on it total $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Santa Paula also requires a yearly business license from any business working in the city, including ones based elsewhere, with a few exceptions. We're licensed and fully insured.
Will a new concrete driveway in Santa Paula crack like my old one?
A slab can still crack, but bad cracks usually start with a base that settled or joints cut late. Our crew digs out and packs the base and cuts control joints, shallow grooves that tell cracks where to go. On a tight budget, I'd trim the finish before the base, because the base can't be fixed later.
Did the May 2025 flood map change affect my Santa Paula home?
It may have, if your house was in Santa Paula Creek's floodplain, which was mapped for years as Zone A99, a high-risk zone. The city's revised map reflects the flood control work along the creek, and since May 15, 2025, a lender may drop the flood insurance purchase requirement for a structure moved from Zone A99 to Zone X.
