Concrete contractor work in Hayward, CA
Creekstone Hayward Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Hayward, and we take on 16 kinds of work, from a front walk to the footings under an addition. Most of it comes down to ground that holds and water that runs away from the house. The price moves with the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and base your ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on whether the job needs a permit, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while new concrete gains enough strength to carry weight. I measure the job myself and send you the estimate in writing.
Concrete driveway building
We build driveways from the ground up, packing the base, setting steel and cutting control joints so the cracks concrete makes run where we planned.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place for a table and grill? We pour patio slabs sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling by your door.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is a regular slab pressed with patterns and color while it's still wet, so it looks like stone or brick on a patio or walk.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour front walks and side paths with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives your shoes grip when the concrete is wet.
Garage floor concrete
Need a garage floor that holds a car, a jack and a workbench? We pour it thick enough for the load and finish it smooth enough to sweep.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone, scored patterns and smooth finishes, for homeowners who want a slab that looks planned for the house.
Concrete retaining walls
We build poured retaining walls with steel inside and drainage behind them, for sloped yards where the dirt keeps creeping onto the patio or the drive.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior slabs for shops, sheds and additions, level the base first and finish the surface flat enough for shelving, flooring or a workbench.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to shed water and grip wet feet, so we slope it away from the pool and give it a textured finish.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour steps with even rises so nobody trips on an odd one, and steel inside so the steps hold together as one piece.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the floor and footing poured as one, for garages, backyard cottages and additions. Most of our time goes into the ground under it.
Foundation installation
What holds up a new addition or a rebuilt wall? We dig and pour the foundation to the plans, with steel set where the drawings call for it.
Concrete parking lot building
For small property owners, we pour parking lots and shared drives with a deeper base and thicker slab for daily traffic, sloped so water reaches the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under posts, walls and decks that spread the weight into firm ground, dug to the depth your plans call for.
Foundation raising
Doors sticking or a floor running downhill to one corner? We find out why that side settled, then lift and support the foundation to bring it back up.
Concrete cutting
Need a trench for a pipe or a broken section cut out? We saw through concrete with clean, straight edges and leave the rest of the slab alone.
Reasons Hayward homeowners hire our concrete crew
Most of what goes wrong with concrete starts underneath or before the truck ever shows up. These are the four things we do differently because of that.
The owner from estimate to walk-through
You deal with me from the first visit to the final walk-through. I measure the job myself and I'm on site running our crew, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and the people pouring.
Estimates that show what's underneath
Our written estimates spell out the digging, the base and the rebar, the steel that holds a cracked slab together, so you can compare bids on more than the bottom line.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete cracks. I'd rather tell you that now than explain it later, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a place to crack in a straight line.
Permits checked for your address
Depending on your address, the city or the county issues permits. We check which one, file when the job needs a permit and set the start date around the city's review if the work touches the street or public sidewalk.
Our process from first call to final walk-through
You call or send the form, and we get back to you within one business day. The estimate is free, done on site and obligation-free.
Call or send the form
Call (510) 264-7080 or use our contact form and tell us the address and what you're dealing with, like a sinking driveway or a patio you've been meaning to pour for a few summers now. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out.
I measure and send an estimate
I come out, measure and ask what the concrete has to carry and how you use the space, because a patio for chairs and a pad for a truck aren't built the same. Then I send a free written estimate that covers what goes under the slab as well as on top, with no obligation.
We prep, pour and finish
If you go ahead, we sort out the permit side first. Then our crew sets the forms, packs the base, places the steel and pours, timing it around the midday heat when we can so the top doesn't come out weak and dusty. We cut the joints before the slab picks its own crack lines, and I'm on site running it.
Walk the job together
When the work is done, I walk the job with you and go over curing, so you know when the slab is ready for feet and when it's ready for your car. Staying off it until then is the cheapest thing you'll ever do for that concrete.

Hayward, where our crew is based
Hayward is home base, and the concrete we see here runs from cracked driveways in front of older houses to backyard patios that have sunk toward the back door. The city's Building Division points to the Hayward fault close by, which is one more reason the ground under a slab or a foundation gets our attention before anything else.
There's more to the city than driveways. The Japanese Garden sits beside the Hayward Senior Center, the Sulphur Creek Nature Center runs a wildlife hospital, and the Shoreline Interpretive Center stands on stilts above a salt marsh by the bay. The HAHS Museum of History & Culture on Foothill Boulevard has a history gallery and an art gallery. We pour in the neighborhoods around all of them, and in the cities around Hayward too.

Questions about concrete contractors in Hayward
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Hayward?
It depends on your driveway, so the real number is the one in the free written estimate I send after measuring. Breaking out and hauling the old slab, how close the truck can get and a plain or stamped finish all move it, along with the size.
Why are concrete bids in Hayward so different from each other?
Most of the difference is under the slab, in how much digging, base and steel each bid includes. The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people cut to save money, and I won't cut it, because a nice finish on a bad base is just a nice-looking crack. Our estimates list the prep and the steel so you can compare line by line.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
Longer than the pour itself, because curing decides when you get it back, and you'll walk on it well before you drive on it. Cool, damp weather slows curing down. I'll give you the dates for your job before we start.
Does a concrete contractor in Hayward need a state license?
Yes, for most concrete jobs, because the California Contractors State License Board requires a license when the work needs a building permit, uses hired workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. The City of Hayward also requires a business license from every business working in the city, even one based outside it. We're fully licensed and insured.
How do you keep a new concrete slab from sinking?
We dig out to firm ground and pack a base before the forms go up, because a slab poured on raked dirt settles right along with the dirt. We also check where the water runs, so the slab slopes away from the house and not toward it.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. That isn't a promise the concrete won't crack, because concrete cracks and I'd rather say so now. What we control is where it cracks, with joints cut where we plan them.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It may crack somewhere, because concrete does, but it shouldn't crack the way a lot of old patios do, across the middle with one side sinking. Those cracks usually come from a base that settled, joints cut late or skipped, or a pour in the midday heat, and we plan around all three.
Does my concrete project need a building permit in Hayward?
It may, so it's worth finding out before anyone digs, because the city's guidance says building permits are required for almost all construction work, including structural work. If you're not sure, the city's Permit Center at 510-583-4140 can tell you. We also check whether the city or the county issues permits for your address and file when the job needs one.
