Parkland's older ranches and infill homes near Pacific Lutheran University sit on glacial till and loose gravel that doesn't drain well, and the wet Puget Sound climate means cracked, settled driveways and heaving front walks are facts of life here. Tacoma Concrete knows these lots, these soil conditions, and these problems inside out.
When your driveway has cracked and sunk, or your front steps are becoming a trip hazard, or you need a new sidewalk that will actually stay level through freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain, call us. We've repaired and replaced concrete all over Parkland (98447) and the surrounding Tacoma area for years, and we understand why your slab is moving the way it is.
Concrete in Parkland (98447)
Parkland sits on dense glacial till and loose outwash gravel that holds water instead of draining it away. When heavy rain falls from October through May, that water saturates the base under your driveway or sidewalk, and the slab settles unevenly. Big fir and maple roots lift old front walks. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter cause spalling and scaling on flatwork that faces north or sits in shade. Steep lots mean runoff concentrates along driveways and gutters, eroding the edge or washing out the base. The ranches and cottages in Parkland were built with narrow drives, tight side yards, and front porches raised on old concrete steps. Many of those slabs are now 40, 50, or 60 years old and showing it.
Our team has spent years working on Parkland properties. We know how to excavate and re-grade for proper drainage, how to pour new slabs that will handle the wet winters and occasional hard freeze, and how to repair or replace settled concrete without tearing up the whole lot. We pull permits with the city, coordinate with any HOA, and leave your property clean.

How a Job Works in Parkland
You call us at (253) 498-9182 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment, usually within a few days. We look at the concrete itself, the drainage and grading around it, the soil and any roots, and what access we have from the street or driveway. We take photos, measure the area, and talk through what's causing the problem and what fixing it will take. We give you a clear estimate before we start work.
When we're ready to go, we show up with the crew and equipment. On a tight Parkland lot with a narrow drive or a raised porch, we work carefully to protect your landscaping and your neighbor's property. We excavate, remove old concrete if needed, prepare and compact the base, set up forms and drainage, and pour new concrete to the right slope and elevation. If the job needs a city permit, we handle that paperwork and make sure the work meets local setback and width requirements. We work in the dry season when we can, but we can also repair and seal concrete year-round.
When we're done, we haul away all the debris, clean up, and walk through the job with you so you know what we've done and how to care for the new concrete. Your property is left clean and ready to use.
Concrete Removal and Replacement in Parkland typically runs from $7 per square foot and up, depending on how thick the old slab is, how difficult it is to haul away, and what the soil and drainage situation requires. A typical single-car driveway (around 300 to 400 square feet) will run $2,100 to $2,800 for removal and new concrete. Sidewalks, walkways, and front steps start at $6 per square foot. Concrete Repair and Resurfacing (patching cracks, sealing, or resurfacing without full replacement) starts at $3 per square foot and is often the right choice if the slab itself is still sound but the surface is spalling or worn. Concrete Sealing to protect against moss, algae, and freeze-thaw damage runs from $0.75 per square foot. If your driveway has settled but the concrete is still intact, Concrete Leveling and Slab Lifting can often raise it back to grade for $4 per square foot and up, avoiding the cost of full replacement. The final price depends on the square footage, site access, how much digging and grading is needed, soil and drainage conditions, and whether you need a permit.
