Concrete Contractor services in Berkeley
Berkeley splits into two kinds of concrete job. West of Shattuck the ground is nearly flat, the lots are narrow, and most homes are brown-shingle houses and bungalows with a single-car drive squeezed along the side. East of it the streets climb fast into the Berkeley Hills, where the Hayward Fault runs close to the foot of the slope and several hillsides creep slowly downhill. Up there a driveway may drop a full story from the street to the garage, and almost every yard has a retaining wall holding something up. The clay swells through the rainy months and pulls back in the dry ones, which opens joints and tips steps. Big street trees add lifted sidewalk panels on the older blocks. For Berkeley we set the finish, the steel and the drainage by how steep the site is and where the winter water will go.
