Serving Yuba City, CA and surrounding areas. (530) 509-1072
Yuba City Concrete is a licensed concrete contractor serving Woodland, CA with slab foundations, driveways, patios, and sidewalks. We respond within 1 business day and work regularly throughout Woodland and Yolo County, handling both newer subdivisions and the city's older Victorian-era housing stock.
Woodland sits on flat valley floor terrain with clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts through every wet-dry cycle. Our slab foundation building process includes deeper subgrade compaction and a proper gravel base to give the slab a stable platform that resists the seasonal soil movement that causes older Woodland foundations to settle and crack.
Woodland driveways in the older downtown neighborhoods often date to mid-century construction and have been fighting clay-soil movement ever since. We build replacement driveways with the base prep that Yolo County soils require, so the new slab does not repeat the cracking pattern of the old one within a few years.
Woodland homeowners get real use out of their outdoor spaces in spring and fall before the summer heat arrives, and a concrete patio holds up to both the 100-plus-degree summers and the damp tule fog winters far better than wood decking. Proper drainage slope is built in from the start so water moves away from the house during winter rains.
The Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods near downtown Woodland have streets lined with older trees whose roots have heaved sidewalks over decades. We replace damaged sidewalks to current City of Woodland standards, with control joints and clearances designed to minimize future root interference.
Woodland lots are flat, but the clay soil does not drain well, and low spots near property edges can accumulate water during the winter rainy season. A concrete retaining wall combined with drainage planning keeps saturated soil from pooling against your foundation or washing across your lot after heavy rain.
Woodland's older housing stock - including homes along College Street and Second Street that date to the 1880s and 1890s - sometimes requires foundation work when additions or structural repairs are planned. We work on foundation installation projects across the full range of Woodland's housing, from century-old Victorians to newer subdivisions off Gibson Road.
Woodland sits on the flat Sacramento Valley floor in Yolo County, and nearly every property in the city is on clay-heavy soil. That soil absorbs rainfall in winter and expands, then bakes down and shrinks through the long dry summer. The technical term is shrink-swell soil, and it is the main reason concrete in Woodland cracks and settles faster than homeowners expect. A contractor who works in Woodland regularly knows to compact the subgrade more aggressively than is standard in other parts of California, add a gravel drainage layer to manage the moisture, and place control joints to channel movement before it becomes random cracking. Skipping any of those steps on Woodland soil means you are replacing concrete in five years instead of twenty-five.
The age of Woodland's housing stock creates a second set of considerations. A significant share of homes in and around downtown were built before 1970, and many are far older. Concrete poured on those properties was often done without modern base prep standards, and in some cases the soil under older slabs was never properly compacted. Replacing that concrete is not just a straightforward pour - it often turns up soft spots, old fill material, or drainage problems that need to be addressed before the new slab goes in. A contractor who knows what to look for in Woodland's older neighborhoods can price and plan for those conditions rather than treating them as surprises.
Our team pulls permits through the City of Woodland Building Division for driveway and flatwork projects within city limits and is familiar with Yolo County permit timelines, which typically run two to four weeks for residential concrete work. Knowing that timeline upfront helps Woodland homeowners plan their project schedule accurately.
Woodland is a city of about 60,000 people and the county seat of Yolo County, located about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento along Interstate 5. The older neighborhoods near the Woodland Opera House and downtown have Victorian and Craftsman homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. College Street and Second Street are lined with some of the best-preserved examples. The newer residential areas along Gibson Road on the north and west sides of town are mostly stucco-exterior homes built from the 1990s onward. Both types of neighborhoods have concrete work needs, but the conditions on the job are very different from one side of town to the other.
We also work in nearby Davis just to the south, where similar Yolo County clay-soil conditions affect concrete in much the same way. If you are in Woodland or anywhere in the surrounding area, we are familiar with the drive and the local permitting environment.
Call or fill out the form with a description of your project and approximate size. We respond within 1 business day and schedule an on-site visit shortly after to get a clear picture of what is needed.
We visit your Woodland property, evaluate soil conditions, drainage, and the scope of work, and give you a written estimate with no surprise additions afterward. This is also when we discuss permit requirements and whether any existing concrete or debris needs to come out first.
Our crew handles demolition if needed, subgrade compaction, gravel base, forming, and the pour itself. On Woodland's clay soil, base prep takes more time than on sandy or loamy ground - that extra step is what protects the finished slab from the shrink-swell cycle.
After the pour we walk the finished work with you and explain the curing timeline - 24 hours for foot traffic, 7 days before driving, 30 days for heavy loads. You leave with a clear picture of when your new surface is fully in service.
We serve all of Woodland and Yolo County. Free estimates and a 1-business-day response, every time.

Woodland is the county seat of Yolo County with a population of roughly 60,000 people, located about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento and about 10 miles from UC Davis. The city has strong agricultural roots - it was founded in the 1860s as a farming supply hub, and the surrounding Yolo County land still grows tomatoes, sunflowers, wheat, and other crops. The character of downtown Woodland is shaped by its historic buildings, including dozens of Victorian and Craftsman homes along College Street, Second Street, and Cross Street that date to the 1880s and 1920s. The Woodland Opera House, a fully restored Victorian theater built in 1896, is one of the city's most recognized landmarks. You can learn more at the Woodland, California Wikipedia page.
The housing stock reflects Woodland's history. The neighborhoods closest to downtown have century-old homes with original wood siding and older foundations that require careful handling. The north and west sides of the city along Gibson Road are mostly newer stucco-exterior tract homes built from the 1990s onward, where clay-soil cracking is a newer but already visible problem. Many residents commute to Sacramento or UC Davis, and the city has a homeownership rate of around 55 percent. Adjacent Chico to the north sits on the same Sacramento Valley clay-soil belt, and the concrete challenges homeowners face there are very similar to what Woodland properties deal with every season.
