Precision Calabasas Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Calabasas, and we pour driveways, patios, steps, walls and slab foundations for homes and properties in Thousand Oaks, starting with the ground under them.
Thousand Oaks is mostly neighborhoods, block after block of single-family homes with busy commercial strips running through the middle, and plenty of streets climb toward the open space hills at the edges of the city. A lot of the driveways and patios I look at here are older slabs that came with the house, and they show it with cracks, sunken panels and water pooling where it shouldn't.
It's a short drive over from Calabasas, past Agoura Hills and Westlake Village. On hillside lots and older yards here, the job is mostly about the ground, because a slab only stays flat when the base under it was dug out and packed and the water has somewhere to go.
Driveways here usually fail at the street or the garage, so we break out the old slab, dig to firm soil and pour on packed base.
Explore serviceWant a patio that stays dry? We set its slope away from the house first, then pour, because on a sloped backyard the water has to go somewhere.
Explore serviceStamped concrete presses a stone or brick pattern into the fresh slab, and we plan the joints so they fall along the pattern instead of cutting through it.
Explore serviceWe pour front walks and side-yard paths that tie your door to the driveway, sloped so rain runs off and set with joints placed to guide cracks.
Explore serviceA garage slab carries your cars every day, so we build it thick enough for the load, add steel, and slope it toward the door to shed water.
Explore serviceWe do colored, exposed-aggregate and scored finishes for the parts of your yard people see, picked at the estimate so we plan the forms around them.
Explore serviceOn a lot that steps uphill, a retaining wall holds the slope back, and the footing, steel and drainage behind it decide how long it lasts.
Explore serviceWe pour interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and outbuildings, with the ground under them packed and a vapor barrier laid to keep moisture below the slab.
Explore servicePool decks need grip and drainage, so we slope them toward the drains, away from the pool and the house, and finish them for bare feet.
Explore serviceFront steps need even rises and a firm footing, so every step feels the same underfoot and the whole set stays tight to the porch.
Explore serviceFor additions, backyard units and new buildings, we form and pour the slab the structure sits on, with the ground packed, the steel tied and the plans followed.
Explore serviceFoundation work starts with what you can't see later, so we lay out, dig and set forms and steel to the engineer's plan before any concrete arrives.
Explore serviceProperty owners with a lot to pave get grades, drainage and thickness planned for daily traffic, and we can pour in sections when part must stay open.
Explore serviceFootings are the buried concrete under walls, posts and patio covers, and we size and dig them for the load so what sits on top stays put.
Explore serviceIf a slab or foundation has settled and doors stick or floors slope, we find what moved underneath first, then plan the lift around that cause.
Explore serviceWe saw-cut concrete for new openings, utility trenches and clean breaks between old and new slabs, so the part that stays isn't cracked by the demolition.
Explore servicePermits here come from the City of Thousand Oaks, and its Public Works side handles grading, paving and encroachment permits. Whether your job needs one is the city's call, not ours, so I check with them for your address before we set a date, and if they want a permit, the start waits on it while we work through what they ask for with you. We're fully licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask for proof before you sign anything.
We do the same work in Simi Valley and the other cities around here, so we're used to hillside streets where a concrete truck can't back all the way up and we have to pump or wheel the concrete in. The price comes down to the size of the slab and how thick it needs to be, how much old concrete comes out, how deep we dig for the base, how close the truck can get, and the finish you pick, from a plain broom finish, the light texture dragged across for grip, up to stamped or colored work. Your own number comes from the estimate I write after walking the site with you.
Send the form or call (747) 269-3817 about your driveway, patio, steps or wall, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out myself, look at the ground and the old concrete, and write the estimate there. It's free, and there's no pressure to book.
(747) 269-3817You apply online through the city's TO/24 system, which is open around the clock and takes building permit applications along with the Public Works grading, paving and encroachment permits. You can start a plan check there too, so if you've already begun an application, tell me and I'll work from what's on file.
You schedule inspections on TO/24, the same place the permit lives, and you can see the status and the results there as well. If your job has a permit, I'll keep you posted on where it stands so the pour date follows it.
The city doesn't accept wire transfers, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle or cryptocurrency for permits, so plan on another way to pay. Payments go through TO/24, the same place you apply.
Concrete can still crack, but on the packed base I described above, with control joints, it usually cracks along those lines instead of across the middle of the driveway. Control joints are the shallow grooves we cut on time to give the slab a planned place to crack, and we set rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together, and pour early in the day so the top doesn't come out weak and dusty.
We're based in Calabasas and work across the cities around it, including the ones listed here. If your city isn't on the list, call and ask.
We pick up seven days a week from 8 AM to 9 PM, so call (747) 269-3817 or send the form whenever it suits you.
If you've got a question about your slab before you're ready for an estimate, send it over and I'll give you a straight answer.
