Concrete needs across a large, varied city

Burnaby covers a lot of ground, and the housing changes quickly as you move through it. Near Kingsway and Metrotown there are towers, townhouses and older bungalows. Farther out, suburban streets hold family homes with driveways, garages and backyard patios, while neighbourhoods on and near Burnaby Mountain have more sloping lots.

Because of that variety, the first thing we look at is the lot itself: how it slopes, what the soil is like, and how a truck can reach it.

A house near the SkyTrain line and a house on a quiet crescent can need quite different solutions, even though the surface may look the same.

Highway 1, Kingsway and the way people get around

Highway 1 and Kingsway cut through the city, with a SkyTrain line serving the same corridors. Homes close to these routes often have shorter driveways and limited street parking, so the concrete in front of a house has to work hard. Further from the main roads, cul-de-sacs and quiet crescents usually allow easier truck access.

Traffic, school hours and on-street parking limits can affect delivery windows, so we ask when your street is at its busiest and plan around it.

Where driveways are short, even a small delivery delay can block the street, so a clear plan for truck position matters.

Concrete work we offer to Burnaby homeowners

Our services stay the same across the area, but the typical jobs vary by neighbourhood.

Whether you are fixing one cracked section or replacing a whole pad, we describe the choices in plain terms so you can pick the scope that makes sense for your budget and timeline.

Burnaby sits on a mix of glacial deposits, clay and fill, and the soil under one street may differ from the next. Rain is heavy in autumn and winter, and slopes shed water onto the lots below. That makes drainage the main design question for many concrete jobs.

  • Slope. Steeper lots usually need steps, landings and careful falls.
  • Base. Soft or filled ground may need more excavation and compacted stone.
  • Water paths. Roof runoff and neighbouring downspouts should not feed a new slab.

A quick look at the ground on site usually shows which of these applies to your lot.

Permits, utility lines and city rules

Burnaby has its own bylaws, so permit rules can differ from Vancouver's. Foundations and larger accessory buildings normally need permits and inspections, and work close to the street can involve the municipality. A utility locate, such as through BC 1 Call, is worth requesting before digging.

If your home is part of a strata, the council usually has to approve changes. Ask early, because approvals often take longer than the pour itself.

Condition notes in the permit, such as a required inspection stage, are shared with us in advance so the pour is not held up.

Questions about Burnaby

Do you work on Burnaby Mountain slopes?

We quote hillside jobs where the work can be done safely. Slopes call for careful forming, good drainage and sometimes steps or retaining edges. We may ask for photos from below and above the work area, and we might recommend an engineer if the ground or grade looks significant. Tell us about any past movement or cracks.

Why does my older Burnaby driveway have so many cracks?

Older driveways were often poured thin, on a light base, and decades of wet weather and freeze-thaw cycles take their toll. Roots and settled fill add to it. Minor cracking can be sealed or patched. Widespread breakage, heaving or sinking usually points to replacement with a proper base and drainage. Photos help us judge this.

Can concrete be poured in Burnaby during the rainy season?

Yes, with planning. Pours need a dry window for finishing, covers for the surface and a plan for protecting edges. Heavy rain on fresh concrete can damage the surface, so we watch forecasts and reschedule when conditions are poor. Winter pours also need attention to cold, which slows curing. We will tell you honestly what we see.

How do I know if my lot needs extra base preparation?

Soft, wet or filled ground is the usual reason. Signs include past settling, pooling water or soil that stays muddy. On site we can probe and look at what lies below. Extra excavation and compacted stone cost more upfront, but they prevent cracking and sunken sections later. We can show you what that looks like on site.

Is a basement suite slab different from a regular garage slab?

Often, yes. Living space usually needs a moisture barrier, insulation, and in-floor details specified by the designer. Garage slabs are simpler. We work from the permitted drawings, so they decide thickness and reinforcement. If you are unsure, check the plans with your designer before the quote visit. Your quote will reflect the plans we are given.
