Concrete Flatwork & Decorative Concrete

From residential driveways to commercial structural pads, durable concrete installations require precise planning, quality materials, and experienced execution. You need flatwork that withstands Lafayette traffic patterns and decorative finishes that maintain curb appeal through every season. Entrust Masonry provides concrete solutions for homes and commercial properties that balance structural integrity with aesthetic value.

Lafayette's rolling terrain and proximity to Mount Diablo create drainage challenges that impact concrete longevity—improper slope causes water accumulation that leads to surface scaling and foundation issues. Our installations address grade requirements, expansion joint placement, and reinforcement specifications before the first cubic yard pours. Concrete driveways, patios, walkways, and slabs must cure properly in Lafayette's temperature range to achieve full strength and prevent premature cracking.

We've completed hundreds of flatwork projects across Lafayette, from decorative stamped concrete patios to load-bearing structural pads for equipment and additions. Our process ensures every installation meets both building codes and your design vision.

Your concrete project begins with site evaluation and soil testing to determine base requirements and reinforcement needs. We excavate to proper depth, install compacted aggregate base, and set forms with precise elevation control that ensures proper drainage. Rebar or mesh reinforcement is positioned according to load specifications, and concrete is placed, finished, and cured under controlled conditions. Decorative stamped concrete and colored finishes are applied using techniques that prevent delamination and color fading.

Final inspection includes joint sealing and surface protection recommendations that extend your concrete's service life. Timelines typically range from three to seven days depending on project scope, with curing periods that vary by weather conditions and finish type.

ur concrete installations deliver performance that matches Lafayette's demanding conditions. You'll see the difference in surface finish quality, drainage function, and long-term durability that outlasts typical contractor work.
