Concrete work, start to finish
Concrete services in Moses Lake, WA
Frontier Moses Lake Concrete is a concrete contractor in Moses Lake, WA, and people call us for a driveway that stays level, a patio that drains, a sound foundation or a lot that takes daily traffic. Across our 16 services, the price mostly comes down to size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs and the finish you pick, since stamping and color take more time than a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip. The schedule turns on the permit side, the weather and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before it takes weight. I'll put your own number and scope in writing after I walk the job.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway starts below the surface, so we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before we pour.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place for the grill and a few chairs out back? We build concrete patios sloped away from the house so rain and sprinkler water run off.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored while it's fresh, for homeowners who want the look of stone or brick on a patio or walk.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour sidewalks and front walks for homes and businesses, with joints cut along the way so a crack that does come lands there, not across the middle.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes the weight of cars, jacks and dropped tools, so we pour it over a packed base with a smooth finish that sweeps clean.
Decorative concrete
What's decorative concrete? It's color, exposed stone, scored lines or a polished face on ordinary concrete, for patios, walks and entries people see first.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls to hold back a slope or level out a yard, set on a footing and drained behind so water doesn't push them over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors suit shops, warehouses and basements, and we place and finish them flat enough to take racks, equipment or a finished floor on top.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck gets bare feet and splashing all summer, so we give it a textured finish for grip and slope it to drain away from the pool.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps for front doors, porches and back entries, with every rise the same height so nobody catches a toe.
Slab foundation building
Building a shop, garage or home on a slab? We pour slab foundations with rebar, the steel that holds the concrete together, over a packed, level base.
Foundation installation
For builders and homeowners putting up a new structure, our crew forms and pours foundation walls laid out to the plans, and checks them before backfill.
Concrete parking lot building
Businesses call us for concrete parking lots that hold up to daily traffic and drain where they should, poured over a packed base.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under a deck post, wall or addition, and we dig and pour them to the size and depth the plans call for.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk and doors stick or floors slope, we raise it back toward level and fill the space underneath.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, a trench for a pipe or a cracked section taken out? We saw-cut concrete cleanly, so the rest of the slab stays in one piece.
How a job goes, from call to cure
You call or send a message
Call (509) 512-0637 or use the form and tell us a little about the project and where it is. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time for me to come out. The visit and the estimate are free.
I walk the job and write it up
I walk your property with you, mark out the work and look at where the water runs now. We talk through your choices and the permit side, because I check with the city or county office that covers your property first. Then you get a written estimate, with no obligation.
We prep, pour and show you the care
Once you say go, our own crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours, and I'm on site to run the pour. Before we leave, I show you how to look after the new concrete while it cures, so it gets the start it needs.

Every step explained before we pour
I tell you what's going under your concrete and why it's there, because most trouble starts in the base and nobody can see it once the slab is down. If you understand the work, you can hold us to it.
Built like an inspector is coming
I learned concrete on a city crew pouring curb, gutter and sidewalk, where every pour got inspected and failed work got torn out. We still lay out, form and check our work like someone's going to look it over.
The person who bids your job runs the pour
I'm the one who walks your job and writes the estimate, and I'm there when the truck shows up. Nothing gets lost between what we talked about and what goes into the forms.
Questions to ask any contractor, us included
I'll give you the questions worth asking every bidder, like how deep they dig, how they pack the base and when they cut joints. Your scope comes in writing, so you can line our bid up against the others on the same work.
Questions people ask before the pour
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Moses Lake, WA?
I can't give you an honest number until I've seen your driveway, because the tear-out and the base work under it can move the price as much as the size does. Our driveway page goes into what drives that cost, and your own figure comes in the written estimate.
Why are concrete bids so different from one contractor to the next?
Bids usually differ because they aren't pricing the same work, mostly under the slab, where one crew digs out and packs the base and another rakes the dirt level and pours. Ask each bidder how deep they dig, how they pack it and how thick the slab will be, and you'll see where the gap comes from.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
You're off it for the tear-out, the base work and the pour, then for the curing time before it can take a car. You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll tell you when each is safe for your slab, since the weather and the mix play into it.
Is Frontier Moses Lake Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. Our own crew does the work, and I'm on site to run the pour, so you deal with the same people from the estimate to the cleanup.
What do you do to the ground before pouring a concrete slab?
We dig out the soft dirt and old material, then lay and pack a base so the slab sits on firm ground instead of settling with the dirt. We also check where the water runs and set the forms so the slab sheds water away from the house, not toward it.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, we back our work with one promise, your satisfaction, guaranteed. Concrete usually cracks somewhere, so we pack the base and cut control joints, grooves that give it a planned place to crack, to keep cracks in the joints instead of across the middle.
What matters more for a concrete patio or driveway, the base or the finish?
The base matters more, because a nice finish over a poorly packed base settles and cracks right along with the dirt under it. It's also the part nobody sees on day one, so it's the first thing a tight bid cuts. If the budget's short, I'd take a plain broom finish on a good base over stamping on a weak one.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Moses Lake, WA?
Some concrete jobs need one, depending on the work and whether your property falls under the city or the county. In the city, the Building Department issues building permits, and the city requires one before grading or clearing a property or building a retaining wall 4 ft high or more, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. When a permit is needed, we handle the application or help you with yours, and the Building Department makes the call on anything close to those lines.
Based in Moses Lake
Moses Lake is where we're based, and the City of Moses Lake puts many of its services on its official website, so you can take care of city business any hour. Before a concrete project, the city's Parcel Information Lookup is worth a minute, because it shows your parcel number and your zoning or jurisdictional boundaries, which tells you which side of the line your property sits on.
You probably already know the places people gather here, like Montlake Park with its shoreline access and boat launch, Cascade Park with its playground, seasonal swimming area and the Kvamme Soccer Complex, and the Moses Lake Museum & Art Center, with its Columbia Basin history and the giant Columbian Mammoth sculpture. This is the city we work out of, and I'm the one who comes out to look at your job, here or in one of the cities around it.
