Concrete Resurfacing in Citrus Heights, CA

One Soil Family Across the Whole City

Citrus Heights is level to gently sloping terrace ground at about 167 feet, with Arcade Creek running through it and no river frontage at all. Its soils are unusually uniform: the survey units mapped here are dominated by Fiddyment fine sandy loam and Fiddyment-Orangevale complexes. Fiddyment is a Durixeralf that formed from sediments of the Fair Oaks or Laguna Formations, and its duripan sits about 71 to 76 centimetres down. A sandy loam over a cemented pan does not swell like river clay, but rain that soaks in has nowhere to go, so the ground under a patio can stay saturated after winter rain. Low spots, downspouts that empty onto concrete and slabs that tilt toward the house matter more here than raw clay movement.

Two Decades of Concrete Reaching the Same Age

Add the 21% of homes built in the 1980s to the 40% from the 1970s and more than 60% of Citrus Heights housing went up within twenty years, according to ACS 2020–2024 data. The median home dates from 1977. That puts a lot of neighboring slabs in the same condition at once: original broom-finish driveways worn to aggregate, garage floors with decades of oil, and backyard pool decks whose surface texture has worn away. Along Greenback Lane, Sunrise Boulevard, Antelope Road and the Old Auburn Road corridor, near Sylvan Corners and Rusch Park, those 1970s ranch lots are the core of the work. About 61% of homes are owner-occupied.

Curbs Are the City’s, Driveways Are Yours

The City’s General Services Department looks after curbs and gutters and handles sidewalk reports, while a driveway slab or patio on your own lot is your responsibility. Work in the public right-of-way needs a City encroachment permit; we have not confirmed how that applies to driveway-approach work specifically, so ask General Services before a job reaches the street edge. Sealers and coatings fall under SMAQMD Rule 442, where concrete and masonry sealers are limited to 100 g/L.

What 1970s Lots Here Usually Need

Most Citrus Heights jobs start with drainage and crack repair, then move to a surface: pool deck resurfacing on original decks, garage floor coatings, patio and walkway overlays and driveway resurfacing. South across Madison Avenue, Fair Oaks shares the Fiddyment and Orangevale soils but adds slopes.
