Concrete Contractor in Prosser, WA - Solid Bases for Driveways and Footings
R&S Richland Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, steps, footings and foundations for homes in Prosser, WA, plus parking lots and cutting jobs for property owners, from our base in Richland.
I started R&S Richland Concrete Construction in Richland, and I still come out to look at each job myself. We build driveways, patios, steps, garage floors and foundations for homeowners in Prosser, and we take on lots and cutting work for property owners. Ask why we slope a slab or cut a joint where we do, and I'll explain it until it makes sense.
- Base dug out and packed first
- Every estimate line explained
- Site cleaned up before we leave
What Prosser ground asks of new concrete
The city lists Prosser's frost line at 24 inches, the depth winter freezing can reach. Footings for a garage, an addition or steps usually go below it, because frozen soil swells and lifts whatever sits in it. Under a slab, we dig out and pack the subgrade, the soil and gravel it rests on, so the slab doesn't sink with loose dirt.
The city also rates all of Prosser Seismic Design Category C, an earthquake rating that shapes how a foundation is designed. When a foundation or retaining wall needs an engineer's design, we bring one in and build to it.
Concrete work we do in Prosser
Pick the job you're planning for your Prosser home or property, and each page explains how we build it, what moves the price and what to expect.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway on a dug-out, packed base, sloped so water runs to the street instead of the garage.
Concrete patio construction
Where an old patio has sunk or holds puddles, we pour a new slab that sheds water from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Patterns pressed into fresh concrete to look like stone or brick, laid on the same packed base as plain slabs.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways from the drive to your door, broom-finished so the brushed texture gives your shoes grip when it's wet.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is cracked, chipping or dusty, we can replace it with a slab built for vehicle weight.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and custom finishes for a patio, entry or walkway that should look like more than gray concrete.
Concrete retaining walls
Walls that hold back a slope, with drainage behind them so trapped water doesn't push them over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops and outbuildings, with control joints, shallow cuts that tell cracks where to go.
Concrete pool decks
Decks around a pool, finished so wet bare feet keep their grip and sloped so splash water drains off.
Concrete steps construction
New front or back steps with even risers, set on footings so they stay tight to the house.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for a home, shop or addition, with rebar, the steel grid that holds the concrete together.
Foundation installation
Full foundations and foundation walls for new construction, with an engineer's design brought in when the job calls for one.
Concrete parking lot building
For a business or rental property, a parking lot laid out for traffic, drainage and the weight it will carry.
Concrete footings
Footings for decks, posts, walls and additions, dug to the depth the ground and the plan require.
Foundation raising
When part of a house has settled, we raise and support the foundation after finding out why it sank.
Concrete cutting
Clean cuts through slabs and walls for new doorways, plumbing runs or removing a damaged section.
Serving Prosser from Richland
We're based in Richland and come out to Prosser for estimates and pours the same way we cover jobs across the river in Umatilla, OR, with me on site alongside our crew when the concrete goes in.
To set up a visit, call (509) 581-2407 or send the form below with your address and a few words about the job, and we'll find a time for me to come take a look.
Before your Prosser pour
Price mostly follows the size of the slab, how thick it needs to be for what it carries, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick, since stamping or color takes more labor than a plain finish. I'll walk you through each of those on your written estimate.
The schedule turns on the season, since we plan pours around heat that leaves a weak, dusty top, and on curing, the days fresh concrete needs to gain strength before you load it. When a job needs a permit, we sort it out with the city before we set a pour date.
- Where water goes now when it rains or the sprinklers run
- Plain broom finish, stamped pattern or color, decided before forms go up
- What will park on it, so we set the right slab thickness
- How you'll get in and out while the new concrete cures

Prosser concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Prosser?
Ask the city first, because its permit list names building, altering or repairing a structure and fences, but doesn't name driveways or patios. The Building Department answers at 509-786-8210, and when your job needs a permit, we check for your address and sort it out before work starts.
Can I apply for a building permit online in Prosser?
Yes, the city's Public Portal takes Building, Planning and Public Works permit applications. Permit costs vary with the type of project, so the department is the place to ask what yours will run, and on our jobs we tell you what to expect along the way.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete can still crack, but on old driveways the cracking usually traces back to a base raked flat instead of dug out and packed, water running under it, or joints cut late. We pack the base, check where water runs and cut joints on time, and if the budget's tight, I'd drop the fancy finish before I'd skimp on the base.
How long will I be without my driveway after a new pour?
You'll stay off it for as long as curing takes, and that count depends on the weather and the slab, so I tell you when it's safe to walk and drive on before we leave. Driving on it too soon can crack a slab that would have held up fine.
