Concrete Contractor in West Richland, WA - Slabs Planned for Each Lot
R&S Richland Concrete Construction pours driveways, patios, steps, foundations and retaining walls for homes in West Richland, WA, and I come out myself to look at each lot before we plan the work.
We're a concrete contractor based in Richland, and West Richland is part of our regular work. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, steps and foundation work, and property owners call us for lots and cutting jobs. I spent my school summers pouring slabs and stripping forms, and I still explain the reason behind every step so you can judge the work yourself.
- Base dug out and packed first
- Every step explained before we pour
- Site cleaned up before we leave
Homes and lots we work on in West Richland
In West Richland the city's building official sets the snow load for each site, and the earthquake design level varies from site to site too, so a footing or foundation plan that suited one lot may not fit the next. That's why I look at your lot myself, and when a job needs an engineer's design, we bring one in.
Most calls start with something you can see, like a driveway sinking at one edge, a patio that holds water or cracks that keep spreading. When that's the case, the fix usually starts below the surface, with the base and where the water runs.
Concrete work we do in West Richland
Pick the job you have in mind to see how we handle it for a home in West Richland, from the base we dig to the finish you walk on.
Concrete driveway building
New driveways poured on a dug-out, packed base and sloped so water runs away from your garage.
Concrete patio construction
Where an old patio has sunk or holds water, we tear it out and pour a level, drained slab.
Stamped concrete services
Patterns pressed into fresh concrete give a patio or walk the look of stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways and front paths poured with joints cut so any cracks stay in lines we chose.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor built for the weight of your vehicles, with a smooth finish that sweeps clean.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and other finishes for when you want the concrete to suit the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Walls that hold back a slope in your yard, with drainage behind so water doesn't build up and push.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, basements and additions, poured flat and level for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck with a texture that grips wet feet and a slope that carries water away.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps formed to even heights, so nobody catches a toe on one taller step.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for new homes, garages and additions, built on a base we dig and compact first.
Foundation installation
Footing and wall foundations for new building, laid out to the plan and the ground on your lot.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners, we build parking lots graded to drain and thick enough for the traffic they carry.
Concrete footings
Footings for posts, walls and additions, dug down to firm ground so the load sits steady.
Foundation raising
Where part of a house has settled, we find out why and lift the foundation back toward level.
Concrete cutting
Saw cutting for a new doorway, a utility trench or one damaged section without breaking up the rest.
Serving West Richland from our Richland base
We're based in Richland and work across the Tri-Cities and the cities around them, so West Richland is regular ground for our crew, just like Pasco and Kennewick. Those are the cities with their own page here, not the only places we go.
To set up a visit, call (509) 581-2407 any day of the week or use the form below, and tell us your address and what you're seeing so we come ready.
What to know before the pour
Price turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete we haul out, how much base work your ground needs and the finish you pick, since a plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that keeps shoes from slipping, costs less than stamped or colored work. Your written estimate spells out each of those.
If the budget's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base work, because nobody sees the subgrade, the packed ground under the slab, but it decides whether the slab stays put. Timing depends on the season, any permit the job needs and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you walk or drive on it.
- Where water runs off your roof and yard now, and where it should go
- Plain broom finish, or stamped, colored or exposed stone
- Whether the old slab comes out or new concrete ties into it
- Your contractor's state registration and city business license

West Richland concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in West Richland?
The city's Building Division answers that for your address, and we check with it before any work starts. Its permit tip sheet gives the city's general view on common home projects, and work that needs no permit still has to meet code and zoning rules. If a permit is needed, we sort it out and tell you what to expect.
Does a concrete retaining wall in West Richland need a permit?
Yes, if the wall is over 4 feet tall or holds up an added load, like a driveway near its top, according to the city's permit tip sheet. For a shorter wall I still check with the city, and when a wall needs an engineer's design, we bring one in.
How do I know a concrete contractor is registered in Washington?
Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the Department of Labor & Industries and carry insurance and a bond, $30,000 for a general contractor and $15,000 for a specialty one. On a home job of $1,000 or more, the contractor must give you a written disclosure notice. We're licensed and insured, and happy to show you the paperwork.
How do I check flood risk for my property in West Richland?
Ask your city or county planning department, which is what the regional emergency office tells residents to do, and for a West Richland address that means the City of West Richland. The Yakima River has flooded badly in the past, so it's worth asking before a foundation or other big pour.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
Concrete usually cracks somewhere, so we decide where by cutting control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along. Cracks that spread and sink mostly come from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, and that's the part we don't skimp on.
