Serving Marysville, WA and surrounding areas. (360) 925-8279
Marysville Concrete is a Concrete Contractor serving Edmonds, WA, specializing in patios, driveways, and retaining walls for the city's sloped lots and older housing stock. We reply to every estimate request within one business day and pull all required permits before a shovel hits the ground.
Edmonds backyards are often sloped, and a poured concrete patio is one of the few surfaces that can be properly engineered to drain away from the house on that kind of terrain. We build concrete patios for Edmonds properties with the base prep and slope design that clay-heavy soil and 35-plus inches of annual rain demand.
Much of Edmonds is built on hillsides that slope toward Puget Sound, and retaining walls are a practical necessity on many properties. A concrete retaining wall holds soil in place on terraced lots and manages the drainage pressure that builds up behind it during the long rainy season.
Many Edmonds driveways were poured in the 1950s and 1960s alongside homes built during postwar suburban growth, and those slabs are well past their expected lifespan. Replacing them with a properly graded driveway solves drainage problems and removes a trip hazard that gets worse every winter.
Sloped lots in Edmonds mean many properties have front approaches with steps, and older concrete steps from the mid-20th century often show serious surface flaking and uneven risers after decades of Pacific Northwest freeze-thaw cycles. New steps add safety and curb appeal to a home built on a hillside.
Downtown Edmonds neighborhoods have a mix of sidewalk ages, from original early-century concrete near the waterfront to newer pours in hillside subdivisions. Where sections have heaved, cracked, or become uneven, replacement removes a liability and makes the property safer to approach on foot.
Edmonds was incorporated in 1890, and many of its residential neighborhoods contain homes built in the early to mid 1900s. Those properties sit on aging foundations, have original concrete driveways and walkways that are decades past their useful life, and deal with the compounding effects of more than a century of Pacific Northwest weather. The clay-heavy soils throughout the Puget Sound lowlands drain slowly, and Edmonds receives 35 to 37 inches of rain per year, with most of it falling between October and April. That sustained moisture is hard on any concrete surface that was not built with proper drainage and base preparation.
The hillside terrain that defines much of Edmonds creates additional challenges that do not exist on flat suburban lots. Sloped driveways, retaining walls on terraced yards, and steps on hillside approaches are all common project types in this city, and each one requires a contractor who understands how water moves on an inclined lot. Properties near the waterfront around Brackett's Landing and the ferry terminal face additional exposure from the salt air and moisture off Puget Sound. Homes with high equity and owner-occupants who plan to stay long term deserve concrete work built for the long run, not just for the first few seasons.
Our crews regularly pull permits through the City of Edmonds Development Services department, and we know what their plan reviewers look for when evaluating concrete work on sloped lots and properties near critical areas. That familiarity keeps projects on schedule and avoids the back-and-forth that slows down contractors who do not work in this municipality regularly.
Edmonds is a city most people navigate along 9th Avenue and Main Street, with neighborhoods climbing the hillside above Puget Sound and flattening out near Lynnwood to the east. The homes closest to the waterfront near Brackett's Landing and the ferry terminal tend to be older and sit on lots with the steepest grades. Those properties require a different approach than the Craftsman bungalows a few blocks back from the water, or the postwar ranch homes on the middle slopes. We serve customers across all of these neighborhoods and understand how each one requires a concrete work strategy tailored to its terrain.
We also work regularly in nearby Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood, so we understand how soil conditions and city permit requirements shift as you move through southern Snohomish County.
Call or submit the estimate form, and we will respond within one business day. We schedule an in-person visit to look at the site, measure, and talk through your goals before giving you a written quote.
We visit the property, evaluate the slope, drainage, and soil, and confirm whether a permit is needed through the City of Edmonds. You receive a written estimate with everything itemized before we schedule any work.
We handle permit applications on your behalf and schedule the pour for a dry window in the forecast. On pour day the crew removes the old surface, prepares the gravel base, forms the slab, and pours and finishes the concrete.
We keep the surface protected during the curing period and walk you through what to avoid for the first week. Once the concrete has cured, we do a final walkthrough, remove forms, clean up, and answer any questions about care and sealing.

(360) 925-8279Edmonds is a small city of about 42,000 people on the eastern shore of Puget Sound, roughly 15 miles north of Seattle. The city has a working Washington State Ferries terminal connecting it to Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula, a walkable downtown with locally owned shops and restaurants, and a waterfront that includes Brackett's Landing beach and marine sanctuary. The neighborhoods closest to downtown and the water include some of the oldest homes in the city, with Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century houses on steep lots directly above the Sound. As you move east and uphill, the housing transitions to postwar ranch homes and split-levels built in the 1950s and 1960s during Edmonds's suburban growth period.
Edmonds has a high rate of owner-occupied homes and median home values well above the national average, which reflects how invested its residents are in maintaining their properties. Most of the city is single-family residential, with some condominiums and smaller multi-unit buildings near downtown. A significant share of Edmonds homes were built before 1970, meaning many have aging driveways, walkways, and concrete steps that are overdue for replacement. The combination of old housing stock, sloped hillside lots, and a wet coastal climate makes Edmonds one of the more demanding environments in the region for concrete work. For homeowners in nearby Lynnwood and Mukilteo, we provide the same level of locally grounded concrete work.
