Concrete Contractor services in Walnut Creek
Cross the Caldecott Tunnel and the climate changes. Walnut Creek sits inland of the Oakland hills, cut off from the fog, with summer afternoons far hotter than anything on the bay side and winter nights that can bring frost. The soil across much of central Contra Costa County is heavy clay that swells strongly when wet and shrinks in the long dry season, and it is the reason so many local patios and pool decks crack and tilt. Homes range from ranch houses in Parkmead and Larkey Park to hillside properties in Walnut Heights and the large retirement community at Rossmoor. Pools are common, so pool decks, patios and outdoor kitchens make up a big share of the work. Here we pour early in the day in summer, cure the slab for longer, and give the clay a thicker compacted base and closer joints.

Permits and local rules
Walnut Creek is in Contra Costa County. State law makes the fronting owner responsible for the sidewalk, and work in the public right of way generally needs a City encroachment permit. The California Building Code exempts most on-grade flatwork from a building permit, but walls over 4 feet from the footing do need one. We have not confirmed local amendments.
