Concrete is one of the most durable surfaces you can put on a property — when it's done right. Done wrong, it cracks by the second freeze, settles into puddles, and turns into the kind of eyesore you keep tripping over. We pour and finish concrete driveways, walkways, and flatwork in Gaston and across the Portland Metro Area with a proper compacted base, control joints placed where the slab wants to crack, and drainage sloped so Oregon rain runs off instead of pooling on or toward your foundation.
We've poured concrete across the Portland Metro Area since 1998 — more than 25 years — so we know what Oregon's wet clay, freeze-thaw, and heavy rain do to a slab that wasn't built for it. The base is everything: a slab on a poorly compacted base settles and cracks as the ground moves under it. We compact the aggregate base, set forms to the correct grade, pour ready-mix at the right slump for the job, and finish with a broom texture for traction or a smoother finish where you want it.
Control joints are the other half of a slab that lasts. Concrete cracks — it's a fact of the material — but proper control joints placed where the slab naturally wants to crack keep the cracking controlled and cosmetic, not a random crack running across your driveway. We cut the joints at the right spacing for the slab thickness and let the concrete cure properly before it takes traffic. That's the difference between a surface that lasts decades and one that starts failing the first winter.
We handle the whole pour — excavation, forms, base, pour, finish, control joints, and cleanup — so you're not coordinating a concrete crew, a finisher, and a cleanup separately. From a new driveway to a garden path, a small slab, or a dumpster pad, we scope the pour, give you a written price, and leave the site clean. And because we do it all, we can tie the concrete into the rest of your landscape — the walk that leads to the patio, the pad next to the fence — as one project.
Concrete Problems We Solve for Local Properties
Cracked, settling driveways
We remove and repour with a proper base and joints so cracks don't run the surface.
Muddy, eroded walkways
A finished concrete path gives you a clean, dry route year-round instead of a mud trail.
Poor drainage pooling at the slab
We slope and grade concrete so water runs off, not toward your foundation.
Rough, unfinished slabs
We finish to a clean surface — broom or smooth — so it looks intentional and drains well.
Why Choose Metro Mowing for Concrete
Base before pour
A slab is only as good as what's under it. We compact the base so the concrete doesn't settle and crack.
Joints that work
We place control joints where the slab wants to crack, so it cracks where we plan — not across the surface.
Right finish, right drainage
Broom or smooth finish, sloped so Oregon rain runs off instead of pooling.
Clean cleanup
Forms pulled, edges tidied, and the site left clean — not a concrete-dusted mess.

Concrete in Gaston — Common Questions
Questions about our concrete work in Gaston and the Portland Metro Area, OR.
How soon can I use new concrete?
Concrete is typically ready for foot traffic in a day or two and vehicles in about a week, depending on the mix and weather. We'll tell you the exact timing for your pour.
Will my concrete crack?
All concrete cracks eventually — but proper base, control joints, and drainage keep it controlled and cosmetic, not structural. We place joints where the slab naturally wants to crack.
Can you match my existing concrete?
For repairs and additions we can match the finish and color as closely as the material allows.
Do you handle the base and drainage?
