Add character and safety to your landscape with professionally constructed concrete steps. Whether leading to a patio, garden area, or front entrance, our steps are built with proper footing depth, reinforced steel, and slip-resistant finishes. We offer various styles from simple brushed steps to elegant stamped designs that complement your home’s architecture and landscape construction.
Concrete Retaining Wall Construction
Tame slopes, prevent soil erosion, and add functional depth to your landscape with custom-built concrete retaining walls. Our walls are engineered with proper drainage systems and reinforcement to handle Northern California’s soil conditions. From terraced garden walls to structural grade retaining systems, we design solutions that combine practical earth retention with attractive finishes that elevate your outdoor space.
Concrete Driveway Installation
Make a lasting first impression with a professionally installed concrete driveway. We build driveways with proper sub-base preparation, expansion joints, and reinforcement to prevent cracking. Choose from brushed, stamped, exposed aggregate, or colored finishes to match your home’s style. A well-constructed concrete driveway typically lasts 25 to 30 years with proper maintenance and adds significant value to your San Jose area property.

Enhance your landscape’s accessibility and aesthetics with skillfully designed concrete walkways and pathways. We create inviting routes through your outdoor space with options ranging from simple brushed paths to decorative stamped concrete that mimics natural stone.

Design a stunning outdoor living area with our concrete patio installations. We build patios tailored to your entertainment needs — from intimate seating areas to expansive spaces that integrate with outdoor kitchens and fire features. Choose stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate finishes for a patio that blends seamlessly with your landscape. Our patios are built on properly compacted bases with reinforcement to ensure a level, crack-free surface for years of enjoyment.
Our Concrete Installation Process
At Landscape Associates of CA, our concrete installation process is designed to deliver lasting results for driveways, patios, walkways, and other surfaces throughout San Jose and Northern California. Here is what to expect when you work with our team:
Step 1: Consultation & Design
We begin with a free on-site assessment where we discuss your goals, measure the area, evaluate soil and drainage conditions, and present design options including finish types and layout recommendations.
Step 2: Site Preparation & Grading
Our crew excavates the area to the proper depth, installs a compacted gravel sub-base, and grades the surface for correct water drainage away from your home and foundation.
Step 3: Formwork & Reinforcement
We build precision forms to define the shape and edges of your concrete surface, then lay steel rebar or wire mesh reinforcement to prevent cracking and increase structural strength.
Step 4: Concrete Pouring & Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete mix to the correct thickness, then apply your chosen finish — whether brushed, stamped, exposed aggregate, or colored — while the surface is workable.
Step 5: Curing & Sealing
The concrete is allowed to cure properly over 7 to 28 days. We then apply a professional-grade sealant to protect against staining, moisture penetration, and UV damage, extending the life of your surface.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
Once complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. All construction debris is removed and your property is left clean and ready to enjoy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Services
How much does a concrete driveway cost in San Jose?
Concrete driveway costs in San Jose typically range from $8 to $18 per square foot, depending on the size, thickness, finish, and site preparation needed. A standard two-car driveway averages between $3,000 and $7,000. Contact Landscape Associates of CA for a free custom quote.
What types of concrete finishes are available?
We offer several concrete finish options including brushed (broom finish), stamped concrete that mimics stone or brick, exposed aggregate for a textured natural look, stained or colored concrete, and polished smooth finishes. Each finish offers different aesthetics and slip-resistance levels suited to driveways, patios, and walkways.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches initial set within 24 to 48 hours and can handle light foot traffic after about 3 days. Full structural cure takes approximately 28 days, as outlined by the American Concrete Institute. During curing, we recommend keeping the surface moist and avoiding heavy loads to ensure maximum strength and durability.
Is concrete better than pavers for a patio?
Both materials have advantages. Poured concrete is generally more affordable upfront and offers a seamless surface, while pavers provide a decorative interlocking look and are easier to repair individually. Concrete is ideal for modern, clean designs, and stamped concrete can replicate the look of pavers at a lower cost. Our team can help you choose the right option for your property.
Do you offer stamped concrete in Northern California?
Yes, stamped concrete is one of our most popular services across Northern California. We offer a wide range of stamp patterns including ashlar slate, cobblestone, wood plank, herringbone, and flagstone. Combined with integral color or stain, stamped concrete provides a high-end look at a fraction of the cost of natural stone.
How do I maintain my concrete driveway or patio?
Maintain your concrete by sealing it every 2 to 3 years to protect against moisture, stains, and UV damage. Clean regularly with a garden hose or pressure washer, address cracks early with concrete filler, and avoid using de-icing salts in winter. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your concrete to 30 years or more.
How long does it take to install a concrete driveway?
A typical concrete driveway installation takes 3 to 5 days from excavation to finishing, followed by a 7-day curing period before vehicles can drive on it. The timeline depends on the driveway size, site conditions, and chosen finish. Stamped or decorative driveways may require an additional day for detailing.
What is the best concrete finish for a patio in California?
Stamped concrete and exposed aggregate are the most popular patio finishes in California due to their durability, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Stamped concrete can mimic natural stone, tile, or wood, while exposed aggregate offers a naturally textured surface. Both options handle California’s climate well and require minimal maintenance.
Can cracked concrete be repaired or does it need replacing?
Minor hairline cracks and small surface damage can often be repaired with concrete patching compounds, epoxy injection, or resurfacing overlays. However, if the slab has significant structural cracking, settling, or large sections of deterioration, full replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term solution. We offer free assessments to recommend the best approach.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in San Jose?
In most cases, yes. The City of San Jose Development Services Permit Center requires permits for new driveways, driveway extensions, and significant concrete work that affects drainage or public right-of-way. Landscape Associates of CA handles the permitting process for you, ensuring your project meets all local building codes and regulations before work begins.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Real reviews from homeowners across the Bay Area & Northern California
David and Obed were great from start to finish. They gave us solid advice on design choices and made sure our vision drove the project. They took a backyard full of dirt and turned it into our family's dream outdoor space. Highly recommend!
David's team did a beautiful job transforming my yard into a gorgeous patio. They worked closely with me to bring my design to life and went the extra mile to make sure everything was right. Honest work, no hidden costs, no surprises.
Big job: stump removal, full irrigation replacement, new sod, paver driveway, retaining walls, and lighting. It turned out more beautiful than we imagined. We liked the results so much we had them redo the front yard a few months later.
I cannot recommend this company enough. David turned my backyard, basically a giant hill of dirt and weeds, into a gorgeous oasis of fruit trees, plants, flowers, and retaining walls. Working with him was a real pleasure and the pricing was very fair.
This was our second time using Landscape Associates, at a different property. David, Obed, and the crew added new paver stones, a planter, and expanded our irrigation. They even took care of drainage issues the original home builders had left behind.
Landscape Associates did a full remodel of my front and back yards. David understood exactly what I had in mind, delivered the yard I hoped for, and somehow made it even better. He kept in touch through every step and his crew was respectful of my property.
If I could give more stars I would. Workers showed up every single day at 8:30am sharp. David was always easy to reach and when I had changes mid-project, they accommodated every one without complaint. The customer service really set them apart.
Great communication throughout and they walked us through every step. The paver patio and driveway are flawlessly integrated. We would absolutely hire them again. In fact I was already texting David about redoing the entire front yard.
We are very happy with the results. David installed a new front lawn and side yard plantings and the whole project wrapped up in a week. We were impressed that they renewed our entire irrigation system as part of the job. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
