"The crew showed up on time and finished the driveway in the two days they promised. The surface looks clean and the edges are sharp - it is exactly what we asked for. No surprises on the invoice either."
James R., Corte Madera - Concrete driveway building
"We had a patio poured last spring that we have been using all summer. The drainage slope is right - water actually goes away from the house now, which was not the case with the old one. Solid work."
Maria T., San Rafael - Concrete patio construction
"I was nervous about the permit process but they handled everything with the town. The stamped concrete on our front walkway turned out exactly like the sample photo they showed us. Neighbors keep asking who did it."

Concrete outperforms asphalt in wet, clay-heavy soil environments like Marin County because it does not soften or rut under load when saturated. Asphalt is cheaper upfront but typically needs resurfacing every 10 to 15 years, while a concrete driveway properly installed lasts 25 to 50 years.
Hairline cracks in concrete are normal and cosmetic. You should worry when a crack is wider than a quarter inch, when one side of the crack sits higher than the other, or when cracks spread in a web pattern. These signs point to ground movement or a failed base that will keep getting worse.
The dry season, roughly April through October, is the safest window. Concrete poured in rain or on saturated clay soil will be permanently weakened at the surface layer. That said, experienced local contractors can work in shoulder months if a dry forecast holds for at least 48 hours after the pour.
Verify their California Contractors State License Board number at cslb.ca.gov before signing anything. Ask whether they pull the required permits, how they handle base preparation in clay soil, and what is specifically included in the quote: demo, base, the pour, finishing, cleanup, and permit fees should all be itemized.
No. New concrete poured over an unresolved root problem will fail again within a few years. The root situation needs to be assessed and addressed first - through root pruning, a root barrier, or consultation with an arborist. Only then is new concrete the right next step.
Less than most homeowners expect. Sealing the surface every two to three years protects against staining and moisture, especially in coastal climates. The Portland Cement Association recommends rinsing with a hose and mild soap for routine cleaning. Avoid pressure washers at high settings, which can strip sealer.

Corte Madera Concrete is a licensed and insured concrete contractor based in Corte Madera, CA, serving Marin County and 12 surrounding communities since 2021. We hold a current California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) general contractor license, which is issued and verified by the State of California. In that time, our crews have completed driveways, patios, foundations, retaining walls, and 16 other concrete service types across residential and commercial properties throughout the Bay Area.
Learn more about our team and credentialsThe crew excavates to the right depth, removes soft or unstable material, and compacts a layer of gravel before any concrete is poured. This step is invisible in the finished product but is the single biggest factor in how long your concrete lasts.
Ask for a copy of the permit before work begins. Permitted projects will have a notice posted on-site during the work period and will receive a final inspection from a town inspector before the job is closed out.
Light rain during the curing period after the first day is usually manageable. Rain during or immediately after the pour itself can damage the surface permanently. Experienced contractors check the forecast carefully and have plans for protecting fresh concrete.
The American Society of Concrete Contractors publishes consumer guidance on what to expect from a licensed concrete contractor, including standards for base preparation and surface finishing.

Corte Madera is a small town of about 10,000 residents in Marin County, sitting between San Francisco Bay to the east and the wooded Marin hills to the west. The town has a strong homeownership culture - most housing units here are owner-occupied, and residents invest seriously in keeping their properties in good shape. Most homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, which means driveways, patios, and concrete surfaces throughout the town are at or past their expected service life.
The flat, low-lying neighborhoods near Corte Madera Creek and the bay sit on former marshland with clay-heavy soils that swell in winter and shrink in summer - conditions that crack poorly built concrete within just a few years. Hillside neighborhoods on the western side of town deal with sloped lots, mature trees, and retaining walls that take a beating every wet season. Whether your home is near the Town Center shopping area on Highway 101 or tucked into the wooded streets above town, the site conditions shape how every concrete project is planned and built.
Landmarks like Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve and the Town of Corte Madera civic center are well-known to anyone who lives here. Our crews have worked throughout these neighborhoods, which means we already know the permit requirements through the Town of Corte Madera Building Department, the clay soil behavior in the lower-elevation streets, and the access challenges on narrow hillside lots.
Corte Madera Concrete serves Corte Madera directly and extends to Mill Valley, Larkspur, San Anselmo, Tiburon, San Rafael, Novato, Sausalito, Fairfax, San Francisco, Richmond, and Berkeley. If your property is in any of these communities and you need concrete work done right, call us or send a message and we will schedule a free on-site estimate.
