Concrete is unforgiving, and the concrete contractor you hire decides whether you live with cracks for 30 years. Master Construction has poured driveways, patios, walkways, slabs, and foundations across Ventura County since 1994. Our licensed, family owned crews (Lic. #1027281) do the groundwork properly so your concrete stays flat, drains right, and lasts.
Built From the Ground Down
Good concrete starts below the surface with compacted base, correct thickness, proper reinforcement, and control joints placed where the slab wants to crack anyway. We engineer for your soil and slope, plan drainage so water runs away from your home, and finish to the texture you want, from smooth troweled to broom finished to stamped. Washed concrete, also called exposed aggregate, earns its popularity here. The exposed stone grips wet feet around pools, hides tire marks, and shrugs off coastal weather, so we finish plenty of Ventura County driveways and pool decks that way.
Pour day is choreography. The base gets a final compaction pass and a light wetting so it does not pull water out of the mix. Rebar sits up on chairs in the middle of the slab, not on the dirt where it does nothing. We screed to grade, float after the bleed water is gone rather than before, and cut control joints to a quarter of slab depth the same day, before the slab decides where to crack on its own.
Our Concrete Process
Every pour follows the same disciplined steps:
- Layout and design. We mark the exact footprint, grade, and drainage plan with you.
- Demo and excavation. Old concrete out, ground cut to proper depth.
- Forming and reinforcement. Forms set true, rebar or mesh placed correctly.
- Pour and finish. The right mix placed, screeded, and finished for your application.
- Cure and seal. Proper curing time and sealing for a longer life.
Concrete Contractors Backed by a General Contractor
Beyond flatwork, we pour footings, foundations, retaining walls, and slabs for additions and ADUs as part of our general contracting work. That means engineering, inspections, and waterproofing are all handled in house, and your project moves from dirt to framing without waiting on a separate concrete sub.
Ventura County soil is the hidden variable. Much of Camarillo, Oxnard, and Santa Paula sits on expansive clay that swells with the winter rains and shrinks all summer, which is what heaves and tilts slabs poured straight on native dirt. We compact imported base over the clay, thicken slab edges, and pitch everything so runoff moves away from foundations. The same discipline scales to HOA sidewalks and commercial pads, poured in phases so residents and customers always keep a path in.
