Reach out by phone or through the contact form. Tell us what you need, and we will schedule a free on-site visit within one business day. We look at the actual space, not just a photo, so the estimate we give you reflects real conditions at your property. No pressure, no obligation.
After the site visit, you receive a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, demolition, and any permit fees. We explain what we found, what we recommend, and why. If your project needs a permit from the City of Larkspur, we handle the application and the inspection. You do not deal with the city paperwork.
Our crew handles demolition, base preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing. When the concrete has cured, we walk the finished surface with you before we consider the job done. We point out control joints, explain any maintenance steps, and make sure drainage is working the way it should. You sign off, not us.
Here is what you actually get when you hire us, in plain terms.
Our California Contractors State License Board license is active and verifiable. Every project carries general liability and workers compensation coverage, so you are not exposed if something goes wrong on your property.
We come to your property, look at the actual conditions, and give you a written estimate that covers every line item including demolition and permit fees. You will not discover new charges after the crew arrives.
We know Larkspur's clay soils, permit process, HOA requirements, and rainy-season scheduling because we work here every week. You get a contractor who understands local conditions, not one who treats every market the same.
Every estimate request and every question gets a response within one business day. If we cannot pick up the phone, we call back the same day. You will never wonder whether your message was received.

"We had a significant slope problem on our driveway that was sending water straight toward the garage door every winter. The crew rebuilt the whole thing with proper drainage, and we had zero water issues through this past rainy season. They pulled the permit, handled the inspection, and stayed on the schedule they gave us."
David R., Larkspur, CA - Concrete driveway building
"I wanted a stamped patio that matched the craftsman look of our house, and they walked me through every pattern and color option without rushing me. The finished surface looks like real stone. Two years in and it still looks exactly the same as the day they sealed it. Worth every dollar."
Maria T., Corte Madera, CA - Stamped concrete services
"Our hillside retaining wall was failing after years of wet winters, and we needed someone who understood the drainage situation, not just someone who could pour concrete. They assessed the whole slope, recommended a proper solution, and finished the job in three days. The wall handled this past winter without any movement."

Six things worth understanding before you sign a contract or schedule a pour.
Concrete should not be poured during active rain or when temperatures will drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours. Larkspur's rainy season runs November through April, so most projects are best scheduled May through October. For authoritative guidance on concrete in weather extremes, see the Portland Cement Association's weather guidelines.
Larkspur's mature redwoods, oaks, and bay laurels have root systems that actively lift and crack concrete flatwork over time. Replacing the surface without addressing the roots creates the same problem within a few years. A contractor familiar with local trees should assess root conditions before any pour.
The visible surface of concrete is only as good as what is underneath it. A properly compacted base with the right gravel depth prevents settling, cracking, and uneven drainage. In Marin County's clay-heavy soils, this step matters more than in most other markets.
Most driveway replacements, new patio installations, and sidewalk work in Larkspur require a permit before any work begins. The permit triggers an inspection that protects you at resale. Your contractor should pull the permit as part of the project, not ask you to handle it.
Concrete typically lasts 30 or more years in Marin's Mediterranean climate, where mild winters and dry summers do not stress the material the way hard freezes do in colder regions. Asphalt softens in summer heat and requires resurfacing every 15 to 20 years, making concrete more cost-effective over its lifetime for most homeowners.
California requires all contractors to hold an active license from the Contractors State License Board. You can verify any contractor's license status, insurance, and complaint history in about two minutes at cslb.ca.gov. Never hire a contractor who cannot provide their license number upfront.
Larkspur Concrete is a licensed and insured concrete contractor based in Larkspur, CA, serving 12 communities across Marin County and the greater Bay Area since 2022.
Our license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board, the state authority that regulates all contractor activity in California. Every project we take carries general liability and workers compensation insurance, and we pull required permits on every job that needs one.
Since 2022, we have completed concrete projects across 16 service categories, from residential driveways and decorative patios to foundations, retaining walls, and commercial flatwork. We know Larkspur's clay soils, rainy-season scheduling constraints, and local permit process because we work here every week.
Learn more about our team and approachPatching works for isolated cracks with no base movement underneath. If sections have shifted vertically, water pools on the surface, or cracks keep reappearing after repair, replacement is more cost-effective. The American Concrete Institute offers detailed guidance on assessing concrete condition.
Most residential walkways and patios are poured at four inches. Driveways for standard vehicles should be four to five inches. If you park heavy trucks, RVs, or trailers, six inches is safer. Thicker concrete costs more upfront but resists cracking under load over time.
Stamped and colored concrete surfaces need to be resealed every two to three years to maintain appearance and protect the surface from Marin's winter moisture. Plain broom-finished concrete requires less upkeep but offers fewer design options.

Larkspur is a small city of about 12,000 residents in Marin County, incorporated in 1908 and built out primarily in the early-to-mid 1900s. A significant portion of homes in Larkspur were built before 1970, which means original concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks that have been in place for 50 or more years without replacement. That kind of age shows up fast in Marin's wet winters.
The city sits at the base of Mount Tamalpais, with neighborhoods climbing into the hills toward Baltimore Canyon and Dawn Falls Trail. Hillside lots throughout these neighborhoods have significant grade, mature redwood and bay laurel trees, and clay-heavy soils that shift with the wet-dry cycle each year. That combination creates ongoing demand for retaining walls, drainage corrections, and flatwork that is built to handle soil movement.
The flat areas near the bay, including the neighborhoods around Larkspur Ferry Terminal and the Larkspur Landing commercial corridor, have their own set of conditions. Properties near the bay can have high water tables and soil conditions that require additional attention to drainage during base preparation. The main corridor through downtown, Magnolia Avenue, runs through one of the best-maintained commercial streetscapes in Marin County, and homeowners on the surrounding residential blocks tend to invest accordingly in their properties.
Larkspur Concrete works throughout Larkspur and knows which neighborhoods have tree-root problems, which have clay-soil issues, and which require extra attention to drainage during a pour. If your home is here, we have likely worked on a property nearby.
