What Orinda homeowners should know
Level pads on a slope
Patios on sloped lots need cut-and-fill and sometimes a retaining wall. We plan grades so each pad drains away from the house and doesn't send water toward a neighbor.
Retaining walls and fences together
Orinda's code covers fences and retaining walls in the same section. When a patio needs a wall and a fence on top, we plan both within §17.4.27.

Our concrete process

Forms are set to final height and reinforcement is placed to suit the slab and its use.

Pour and finish
Concrete is placed and finished in broom, stamped or exposed-aggregate texture.

Control joints are cut or tooled and the slab is cured before traffic.
