FLATWORK · GRADED · FINISHED
Driveways poured for SF grades.
A driveway on a flat lot is a slab. A driveway on a San Francisco lot is a ramp, a drainage plan, and a slope transition that decides whether your bumper survives. We tear out, form, and pour driveways built for the hill they sit on.

SCOPE OF WORK
Tear-out to broom finish, one crew
Demolition, base, forms, steel, pour, and finish — self-performed, scheduled around your street’s parking reality.
Tear-out & grading
Old slab out, base compacted, and the grade corrected — most cracked SF driveways failed because the original base or drainage was wrong, not the concrete.
Slope engineering
Apron, transition breaks, and garage approach angles set so vehicles don’t scrape entering or leaving. On steep lots this is the whole job.
Broom, aggregate, or stamped
Standard broom finish for grip on a grade, exposed aggregate for curb appeal, or stamped and colored to match the house. All sealed for fog and rain.

What SF adds to a driveway job
Tight lots, steep approaches, and a public right-of-way between your garage and the street.
△ The scrape problem
On a steep lot, a driveway poured at a single constant angle will ground out most cars. The fix is vertical curves — short transition sections at the top and bottom that ease the angle change.
We check approach angles against the vehicles you actually park before we set a single form.
§ The apron is city territory
The section between the sidewalk and the curb — and often the sidewalk crossing itself — sits in the public right-of-way and needs a Public Works permit to replace. New curb cuts for added parking are their own permit process.
We pull the right-of-way permits with the driveway job so it’s one project, one inspection trail.
≈ Water goes to the gutter
A driveway that drains toward the garage floods the garage — and on a downslope lot that’s exactly what a lazy pour does. We set cross-falls and channel drains so winter runoff ends up in the street gutter where the city wants it.
