About our concrete contractor team in Lincoln
From restaurant lines to concrete in Lincoln
I spent years cooking on restaurant lines before I ever picked up a float. Then I learned concrete on flatwork and foundation crews around Placer County, and in 2020 I started One Call Lincoln Concrete here in Lincoln. A kitchen teaches you that the prep before service decides how the night goes. Concrete's the same, because once the truck shows up there's no starting over.
Most of our calls come from homeowners who want a driveway, a patio or stamped work, plus some property owners who need bigger slabs, foundations or lots. What I care about most is the part nobody sees when we're done, the ground, the steel and the timing, because that's what decides how a slab holds up. I also want you to understand your own job well enough to compare quotes and ask good questions, even if you end up hiring someone else.

Driveways, patios and stamped finishes
What working with us is like
You'll know what goes under the finish
I come out to look at your job myself and explain the base, the steel and the joints, so you know what you're paying for before we pour. If a budget has to give somewhere, I'd rather trim the finish than the base, because you can redo a surface but you can't fix the ground under a slab without tearing it out.
An estimate you can line up against others
Your estimate is free, done on site and put in writing, and it spells out the base, steel and joints along with the look you want. That makes it easy to compare with other quotes, so send us a request or call (916) 884-6595 when you're ready.
We sort out the permit side
Before we start, we check with the city or county office that covers your address. In Lincoln, the city's Building Division issues residential permits, and when your job needs one, we handle the paperwork and inspections with you.
A tidy site and a walk-through at the end
Our crew does the forming, pouring and finishing with me on site, and we keep the place tidy while we work. When we're done, we walk the job with you and go over curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength, so you know how to care for it from day one.
How we go about a pour
Check the water
We look at where the water runs on your lot first, because a slab that falls toward the house causes trouble for years.
Dig and pack
We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, instead of raking dirt level, since a slab settles with whatever's under it.
Set the steel
We place rebar where the job calls for it, steel bars that hold the concrete together when the ground shifts or the slab takes weight.
Time the pour
We plan pours around the midday heat, because concrete that dries too fast can leave a weak, dusty top later.
Cut the joints
We cut control joints on time, shallow grooves that give the slab a place to crack, so cracks land where we chose.
