Concrete & Flatwork in Chico, Butte County

When Chico property owners need concrete work done right, BC Brown General Engineering is the local call. Chico is the largest city in Butte County and BC Brown's home base, the commercial hub of the northern Sacramento Valley anchored by Chico State and Bidwell Park. We have worked this ground since 1999 and know what it takes.

Typical Chico concrete calls: driveways, patios, shop and barn slabs, equipment pads. Valley clay punishes shortcuts under a slab, so we treat base and steel as the job, not extras.

On the valley clay around Chico, the make-or-break step is what happens before the pour. Expansive soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so we over-excavate, lay and compact an engineered aggregate base, and set rebar with proper control joints so the slab moves as one piece instead of cracking apart.

Chico is just north of our Durham yard, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short.
