Concrete you can drive, walk and build on in Port Angeles, WA

Groundbreak Port Angeles Concrete takes on new pours and fixes for homeowners, builders and small business owners, and we work out the base, the drainage and the joints before any concrete arrives.

A smooth concrete driveway curves beside a green lawn and river-rock border, enclosed by a tall gray block wall.

We plan and pour driveways, patios, walls, floors and foundations for homeowners, builders and small business owners across Port Angeles, starting with the ground underneath.

Port Angeles sits on the water, with downtown on the waterfront and neighborhoods climbing the hill behind it, and a lot of everyday life here happens outside. People walk and ride the Olympic Discovery Trail through 6 miles of shoreline and bluff, families stop at the Feiro Marine Life Center on the City Pier, and Webster's Woods Art Park puts sculpture out among the trees.

Under all of that is ground that doesn't drain well. Poor-draining soil is very common in Port Angeles, so water tends to sit where a slab meets the dirt, and that's the first thing we plan around, whether it's a patio here in town or a driveway out in Sequim.

Why homeowners and builders call usWorked out before the truck.

Got a job with a catch? Tell us about it and I'll come take a look.

  1. Tricky jobs, worked out

    Give us a sloped lot or a cut by the street and we'll work the problem out with you before anyone mixes concrete. Your estimate then spells out what's included and what isn't.

  2. Base first, finish second

    Nobody sees the subgrade, the ground a slab sits on, once the pour is done, but it decides whether the slab stays flat. If the budget's tight, we'd rather trim the finish than the base.

  3. One person, start to finish

    I walk your site and write your estimate, and I'm on site with our crew when we do the work. What we talked about in your driveway is what gets built.

Concrete services in Port Angeles, WA

Groundbreak Port Angeles Concrete handles 16 kinds of concrete work in Port Angeles, from flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and floors that lie on the ground, to walls, footings and foundations. Most calls start with cracks, sinking, chipping or water pooling where it shouldn't. The price mostly turns on the size and thickness, how much digging out and base work the ground needs, whether old concrete comes out first, how easy it is to get a truck in and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the weather, the base work and whether the city needs to sign off first. Your written estimate gives your own figure and what's in it.

  • A broad concrete driveway leads to a white double garage, with landscaped flower beds along the house.

    Concrete driveway building

    We pour new driveways on a dug-out, packed base, with control joints, cuts that give cracks a chosen line, so the slab holds up under your cars.

  • Gray stamped concrete patio with an irregular stone-like pattern beside a stone-faced wall and potted plants.

    Concrete patio construction

    Want a spot for a table and a grill? We pour patios sized for how you'll use them and sloped so rain runs away from the house.

  • Stamped concrete patio with gray geometric paving, lounge chairs, planters and a closed umbrella beside a lawn.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio, walk or pool deck takes on the look of stone or brick.

  • Curved concrete sidewalk with a contrasting brown stamped border runs beside a brick house and garden beds.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    We build sidewalks and front walks for homes and businesses, and we check early whether the work reaches city land so the permit side gets sorted out.

  • Red sports car parked on a glossy, speckled concrete garage floor.

    Garage floor concrete

    A cracked or sunken garage floor comes out, and we pour a new slab thick enough for your vehicles and pitched to drain toward the door.

  • Stamped concrete driveway with a reddish stone pattern leading toward a large house, bordered by lawns and trees.

    Decorative concrete

    What counts as decorative? Colored, exposed-aggregate and patterned finishes that make a patio, entry or walk look like more than plain gray concrete.

  • Covered brick patio with a concrete floor, stone outdoor kitchen, grill, and seating beneath a wood ceiling.

    Concrete retaining walls

    We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope or level off a yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push on the wall.

  • Polished gray concrete floor in an open-plan room with a fireplace, windows, and a kitchen.

    Concrete floor installation

    For shops, basements and new rooms, we pour interior concrete floors finished flat and smooth enough to suit the flooring that goes on top.

  • Concrete pool deck with pale paving surrounds a blue swimming pool beneath a screened enclosure.

    Concrete pool decks

    We pour pool decks with a textured finish for grip and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool and the house.

  • Wide gray concrete steps with textured risers rise through landscaped garden beds to a house entrance.

    Concrete steps construction

    Loose or crumbling front steps? We form and pour new concrete steps with even risers, so every step is the same height underfoot.

  • Light-colored concrete sidewalk and driveway beside a garage, with a narrow planted bed along the house.

    Slab foundation building

    We build slab foundations for houses, garages and shops on packed ground, with rebar, steel bars that tie the concrete together, set before the pour.

  • Concrete steps and walkway border a flower-filled gravel garden beside a brick house and leafy front yard.

    Foundation installation

    Building new or adding on? We set the forms and pour the foundation your builder or plans call for, so it's ready for framing.

  • A patterned concrete patio sits inside a curved stone retaining wall, overlooking a wooded lawn.

    Concrete parking lot building

    We build concrete parking lots for small businesses and multi-unit properties, thick enough for daily traffic and graded so water drains off instead of pooling.

  • Stamped concrete patio with a warm brown stone pattern extends from a brick house, bordered by rounded landscaping rocks.

    Concrete footings

    What are footings? They're the wide concrete base under a wall, post or deck that spreads its weight, and we dig and pour them to your plans.

  • Pale stone-look concrete decking surrounds two swimming pools beside a landscaped rock waterfall and garden.

    Foundation raising

    If a house or slab has settled and the floors feel uneven, we lift it back toward level and firm up the ground underneath it.

  • Stone outdoor fireplace anchors a landscaped patio with wicker seating, potted flowers, and gray paving.

    Concrete cutting

    Need an opening in a slab or wall, or a section of driveway taken out cleanly? We saw-cut concrete for doors, drains, repairs and new joints.

Concrete work, start to finish

Concrete questions from Port AngelesStraight answers before you call.

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Port Angeles?

It depends mostly on the size, the thickness and how much base work the ground needs, so we price each driveway after seeing it. Tearing out an old slab, a tight spot for the truck and a decorative finish all add to it. Call (564) 203-7120 to set up an estimate.

Why are concrete quotes so different from each other?

Bids usually differ in what they include under and around the slab, like how deep the base is dug and packed, whether old concrete gets hauled off and how the joints are handled. The base is often the first thing cut to lower a price, and you won't see it until the slab starts to sink. Our estimate lists what's in and what isn't so you can compare line by line.

How long will I be without my driveway or patio?

That depends on the size of the job, the base work and the weather, and much of the wait comes after the pour while the concrete cures. Curing is the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, so walking or driving on it too soon can mark or weaken it. We'll tell you when your slab is ready for each.

Does a concrete contractor need a license in Washington?

Yes, Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the state Department of Labor & Industries and to be bonded and insured. Specialty contractors can only take work in the specialty they're registered in. We're licensed and insured, and any business working inside Port Angeles city limits also needs a city endorsement on its state business license.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Port Angeles?

It depends on the job, so the place to ask is the city's Building Division at 360-417-4817. The city issues building permits for structures 120 square feet or larger, and its FAQ exempts retaining walls under 4 feet high, or under 2 feet when there's extra weight above them like a driveway or a slope. We look early at whether your work reaches city land, and we handle the paperwork or help you get your questions to the city's permit staff.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. That rests on the parts you can't see once the concrete's down, the base, the drainage and where the joints go, because those decide how a slab holds up over the years. I'd rather you understand what you're paying for, so ask me anything along the way.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

Most concrete gets some fine cracks as it dries and moves, so the work is in deciding where they go and keeping the slab from settling. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a planned line, before the slab cracks on its own, and we build on a dug-out, packed base so it doesn't sink with the dirt. We also avoid pouring in the worst midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.

Does the soil in Port Angeles cause problems for concrete patios and driveways?

It can, because poor-draining soil is very common in Port Angeles, so water tends to sit under and around a slab instead of soaking away. That's why we check where the water runs, slope the slab away from your house and build a packed base under it. A slab that tips toward the house is one of the most common problems we see.
