Kennewick, WA
Concrete Contractor in Kennewick, WA
Kennewick has some of the Tri-Cities' oldest driveways and some of its newest, and we pour and repair both ends of that range.
Around Southridge and Vista Field, most of our work is driveway and patio extensions on homes built in the last 10 to 15 years, concrete that's still structurally sound but needs more square footage. Closer to downtown Kennewick and the older neighborhoods off Clearwater Ave, we see more full tear-outs and repours: original 1960s-80s driveways and walkways that have cracked, heaved, and settled unevenly after decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
Bucks Concrete has crews pouring in Kennewick most weeks of the year, and we know which older neighborhoods tend to have unreinforced slabs and poor base compaction under the existing concrete. We check the base and drainage before we ever write an estimate, so a driveway replacement doesn't crack again in three winters the way the original one did.

Recent Kennewick Job
A Kennewick driveway tear-out uncovered almost no gravel base under the original slab, which explained the heaving. We over-excavated, added a proper compacted base, and repoured to the same footprint.

FAQ
Common Questions
How soon can I drive or walk on new concrete?
You can typically walk on new concrete after about 24 to 48 hours, but we ask that vehicles stay off it for at least 7 days. Concrete keeps gaining strength for about 28 days, so we'll confirm the safe date for anything heavier, like an RV or a loaded trailer.
Is cracking normal, or does it mean something went wrong?
Concrete shrinks slightly as it cures, and some cracking is normal, not a defect. We cut control joints at regular intervals so that shrinkage happens along those joints instead of showing up as a random crack across the slab.
Do you pour concrete in the winter?
We watch the forecast closely and won't pour into ground that's still frozen or when temperatures are dropping toward freezing during the cure window. In the Tri-Cities, that usually means shifting outdoor pours away from the coldest stretches of December through February, or using cold-weather mix and insulating blankets when a job can't wait.
What's the price difference between stamped and broom-finish concrete?
Stamped and decorative concrete costs more than a plain broom finish because of the extra labor for coloring, stamping patterns, and sealing. We'll walk you through both options and what each runs for your specific project during the estimate.
How long does a typical concrete job take?
A standard driveway or patio pour usually takes a few days from prep through finishing, plus cure time before it's ready for full use. Larger slabs or jobs with more site prep take longer, we'll give you a specific timeline as part of your written estimate.
