I started Port Hueneme Concrete in 2017 after years on big commercial pours, and we still plan every driveway, patio and foundation around the ground underneath it.
I learned concrete on big commercial jobs, pouring slabs, footings and parking lots for a large outfit, and those years taught me that most of a good pour is decided before the truck ever shows up. It comes down to the planning and the ground work nobody sees once it's done. In 2017 I started this business here in Port Hueneme so I could bring that same approach to homes and smaller jobs.
These days we're best known for driveways, patios and foundations, and our calls come from homeowners, property owners and small businesses that need a lot or a slab they can count on. What I care about most are the parts you can't see after the pour, like the subgrade, which is the packed ground the slab sits on, plus the joints and the curing. I'd rather spend an extra half hour explaining what to expect than have you surprised by a crack or a puddle later on.
We dig out soft dirt and pack the base instead of raking it level, because a slab on loose fill settles right along with it. We also check where your water runs, so the new slab sheds rain away from your house, not toward it.
I come out myself to look at the job and write the estimate, and I'm happy to answer every question in plain words. Our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, and we're licensed and fully insured on every job we take.
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so most slabs crack somewhere. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give those cracks a straight line to follow, and we tell you up front what concrete can and can't do, so the finished job matches what you heard at the estimate.
Call (805) 269-8744 or use our contact form to tell us what you have in mind, whether that's a cracked driveway, a new patio or a slab for a shop. We reply within one business day to set up a time to come look.
I come out, check the ground and where the water runs, and write you a free estimate that shows what's included, with no pressure to book. If your job needs a permit, I'll tell you then, and we handle the application and inspections with the office that issues it.
Our crew digs out and packs the base, sets the forms and any rebar, the steel that keeps a slab from pulling apart if it cracks, then pours and finishes it. Then comes curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength before you walk or drive on it.
Port Hueneme Concrete is based in Port Hueneme, California, and our crew pours driveways, patios and foundations in cities all around it, from Oxnard to Ventura. The 12 cities below each have their own page, and we're glad to come out to plenty of places in between too.
Call (805) 269-8744 or send the contact form, and I'll come out to check the ground and give you a free written estimate before anything gets poured.
