Concrete & Flatwork done right in Durham

Durham is BC Brown's hometown, a tight-knit farming community of almond and walnut orchards between Chico and Gridley. BC Brown General Engineering has provided concrete work for Durham and the surrounding Butte County area since 1999, with the equipment and the track record to back it up.

Typical Durham 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 Durham, 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.

Durham is right in our own backyard, since our yard is on Goodspeed Street in Durham, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short.
