What makes concrete last around Seattle
Puget Sound concrete rarely fails from summer heat. It fails from water: rain that sits on the base for months, runoff on steep lots, and the occasional hard freeze. The ground underneath, the joints and the curing plan decide how a slab ages here, so it pays to ask about all three.
Till, fill and water
Much of the region sits on glacial till, with a dense hardpan layer that water barely soaks into. Rain that reaches it runs sideways or sits under slabs. Loose fill on graded lots settles. Ask how the subgrade will be compacted and how water will drain out of the gravel base.
Cracks you plan for
All concrete shrinks as it dries and will crack somewhere. Control joints, tooled or saw-cut at planned spacing, give those cracks a straight place to form. Thinner slabs need closer joints, and isolation joints keep the slab from binding against the house, steps and walls.
Rain, cold and patience
Fall through spring brings long stretches of rain and some freezing nights. Rain on fresh concrete can ruin the surface, and cold slows curing. Air-entrained mixes resist freeze-thaw damage, and good crews watch the forecast, cover the pour and keep deicing salt off new concrete.

Plain-English answers to the questions homeowners ask most.
Questions, answered
Is this service free?
Yes. There's no cost to you to request help. Concrete contractors in our network pay for referrals. You only pay the contractor you hire, and you're never obligated to hire anyone.
Are you a concrete contractor?
No. We're an independent referral service. We pass your request to an independent, insured concrete contractor serving your part of the Seattle area, and they contact you directly.
Do concrete contractors need a license in Washington?
Washington requires construction contractors to register with the Department of Labor & Industries, which includes a bond and general liability insurance. Contractors register as general or specialty contractors, and specialty contractors can't hire subcontractors. You can check any contractor's registration on L&I's website.
Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?
In the City of Seattle and in Tacoma, the adjacent property owner is responsible for keeping the public sidewalk safe, and repairs need a permit. Other cities in the region set their own rules, so check with your public works department.
What's the best time of year to pour concrete around Seattle?
The drier months are easiest and busiest. Concrete is poured year-round, but in the wet season contractors watch for heavy rain, cold nights and saturated ground, and may reschedule to protect the pour. Book summer work early.
