The soil in and around Lamont runs clay-heavy through much of the residential areas. Clay absorbs moisture and expands, then contracts as it dries. That movement is constant and transfers pressure upward into slabs. A driveway or patio built without the right base won't hold, regardless of concrete quality.

Bakersfield Concrete preps the base on every job in Lamont. That means excavating to the right depth, compacting the subgrade, adding gravel base where water drainage is an issue, and reinforcing where the ground and project require it.

Summer heat is the other variable. Concrete poured on a hot afternoon in Lamont sets faster than the mix intends, which leads to surface cracking before the slab has properly cured. The crew times pours for early morning and uses curing methods suited to the Central Valley summer.
