Concrete work in Bellevue
Bellevue has a mix of mid-century ramblers on big lots, newer rebuilds, and hillside homes with long driveways. Many projects here are about replacing original 1960s and 70s concrete, adding outdoor living space, or taming a slope so a yard is actually usable.
We work across West Bellevue, Somerset, Newport Hills, Factoria, Lake Hills, Crossroads, Bridle Trails, Woodridge and Eastgate.

What’s different about concrete in Bellevue
Slopes and hills
Somerset, Newport Hills, Cougar Mountain and the slopes facing Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish have steep drives and terraced yards. The City maps steep slopes and other critical areas, and work on or near them gets extra review.
Soil and water
Most of Bellevue sits on glacial till that compacts well, but cut-and-fill lots from the 1960s and 70s subdivisions can hide loose fill. Wet pockets show up near creeks and at the base of slopes. Rain off big roofs and long driveways has to go somewhere. Trench drains at the garage and sloping walks away from the house are common asks.
Sidewalks and right-of-way
Driveway aprons, curb cuts and sidewalks along the street are in the right-of-way, so the City’s right-of-way rules apply before that concrete is touched.
Trees
Large conifers and maples are common in older neighborhoods. Their roots crack and lift driveways and walks, and tree rules can limit how much root can be cut.
Lots and access
Lots are often larger than in Seattle, which leaves room for bigger patios and better truck access, but long driveways and slopes still mean careful planning for drainage.
Homes we see
Ranch houses, split-levels, and large new homes on rebuilt lots. A rebuild usually means the driveway, walks, and patio get poured at the same time.

Concrete in Bellevue: common questions
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Bellevue?
Many like-for-like patios and walks don’t, but retaining walls over 4 ft from the bottom of the footing, work on steep slopes or other critical areas, and anything in the street right-of-way usually do. Bellevue Development Services decides for your address.
Is my Bellevue lot in a critical area?
Bellevue maps steep slopes, streams and wetlands. If your property is near one, plan on extra review for grading or walls. The City’s property tools or a quick call to Development Services will tell you.
Do you replace old 1960s and 70s driveways?
Yes. Old driveways often have a thin slab on an unprepared base. Replacement usually means removal, new compacted gravel, reinforcement, and a better slope away from the garage.
