Auburn's valley homes and hillside subdivisions sit on glacial ground that drains poorly, and months of Pacific Northwest rain saturate driveways, patios and walkways faster than the soil can handle it. Tacoma Concrete knows Auburn (98002) inside and out, and we fix the concrete problems that wet weather and settling soil create here.
When your driveway cracks, your patio sinks, or your front steps become a trip hazard, you need a concrete contractor who understands why these failures happen in Auburn and how to stop them. That's us. We've been serving Auburn and the surrounding Tacoma area for years, and we show up on time with the right crew and the right plan.
Concrete in Auburn (98002)
Auburn sits in the Puyallup valley with a mix of 1970s and newer two-story homes, many with wide driveways, backyard patios and garage foundations built on dense glacial till and loose outwash gravel. The ground here doesn't drain well. When rain falls from October through May (nearly 40 inches of it), water pools under slabs instead of soaking away. That water saturates the base, the soil settles unevenly, and your driveway or patio cracks, sinks or heaves. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter make it worse, especially on sloped driveways where standing water refreezes and scales the surface. Shaded patios and walkways grow moss and algae, turning them slippery and unsafe.
Our team has repaired hundreds of settling slabs, resurfaced cracked driveways and built new patios with proper drainage in Auburn. We know the terrain, the soil conditions and the weather patterns that break concrete here. We also know Auburn's permit requirements for driveway work, curb cuts and right-of-way access, and we handle that paperwork so you don't have to.

How a Job Works in Auburn
We start with a free on-site visit to your Auburn home. We look at the concrete, dig into the soil, check drainage and access, and understand what caused the problem. We take photos, measure the area and give you an honest estimate with no surprises. We answer your questions about permits, timeline and what the work will look like.
Once you say yes, we handle the permit applications if your job needs them (most driveway and sidewalk work in Auburn does). We show up on the scheduled day with our crew, equipment and materials. We work efficiently, manage the site so your neighbors aren't disrupted, and we're careful around your landscaping and property lines. If your lot is tight or your driveway is steep, we've got the experience to work safely and well.
When we're done, we haul away all debris, clean the site and walk through the finished work with you. Your concrete is ready to use, and we leave your property the way we found it, minus the broken concrete.
Concrete repair and resurfacing (the most common job in Auburn) runs from $3 to $5 per square foot, depending on the depth of damage and whether we're just patching or resurfacing the whole slab. A typical 400-square-foot driveway repair costs $1,200 to $2,000. New concrete driveways and patios start at $6 per square foot, so a 500-square-foot patio runs $3,000 to $4,000 before any decorative finishes. Stamped or polished concrete costs more (from $10 per square foot for stamped work), but it lasts longer and looks better. Concrete sealing (which we recommend for Auburn, given the rain and moss) runs about $0.75 per square foot and extends the life of your slab by years. The final price depends on the size of the area, how hard it is to reach, the condition of what's there now, and how urgently you need it done.
