Serving Thousand Oaks, CA and surrounding areas. (805) 906-7989
TKO Thousand Oaks Concrete is a licensed concrete contractor serving Agoura Hills, CA, with stamped concrete, concrete driveways, retaining walls, and pool decks built for the sloped lots and clay soils that define properties here. We pull permits through the City of Agoura Hills and reply to every inquiry within one business day.
Agoura Hills homeowners who have invested in landscaping, drought-tolerant yards, and outdoor living spaces often find that plain gray flatwork is the weakest element left on the property. Stamped concrete patios and driveways bring the exterior finish up to the level of everything around them, and the textured surface holds up through the intense UV exposure that Agoura Hills properties face from May through October. See what finish options are available and what each one involves on our stamped concrete services page.
Agoura Hills sits at the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, and properties on sloped terrain throughout the city rely on retaining walls to hold back soil on hillside lots. The clay soils here absorb winter rain and build real lateral pressure behind walls - older walls from the 1970s and 1980s construction era are commonly cracking, leaning, or showing drainage failure. We build walls with the drainage systems and reinforcement that hillside conditions in this city actually require.
Most of Agoura Hills was developed between the mid-1970s and early 1990s, which puts many original driveways at 30 to 50 years old. On clay-heavy soils with seasonal expansion and contraction, surface spalling and cracking at that age are expected, not exceptional. We replace aging driveways with proper base compaction and reinforcement scaled for the hillside lot conditions that are common in this city.
Many Agoura Hills homes on larger lots have pools, and pool decks here take sustained UV damage through the long dry season. Older decks that have become rough, cracked, or slippery when wet are both a safety issue and a maintenance signal. We resurface and replace pool decks with slip-resistant finishes that hold up through the summer heat and the Santa Ana wind cycles that dry out surfaces each fall.
Agoura Hills residents use outdoor spaces nearly year-round, and a properly sloped concrete patio prevents the water drainage problems that sloped lots create. Properties near the Santa Monica Mountains foothill zone get significant runoff during winter rain events, and patios that were not graded correctly send that water toward foundations. We build patios with drainage grade designed for the specific lot conditions we find during the estimate visit.
Hillside lots in Agoura Hills with pergolas, fences, gates, and outbuildings need footings engineered for sloped terrain and the soil movement that comes with it. We pour footings to City of Agoura Hills structural standards and handle permit coordination from application through final inspection, so the work is documented and signed off before we leave the job.
Agoura Hills is a city of about 20,000 people that grew quickly between the mid-1970s and early 1990s as a planned suburban community in western Los Angeles County. Most of its housing stock was built in that era, which means original concrete driveways, patios, and pool decks on many properties are now 30 to 50 years old - old enough that deferred maintenance has caught up with them. The terrain adds pressure that flat suburban lots do not face. A large portion of Agoura Hills sits on or adjacent to the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, with hilly lots where drainage direction, retaining wall integrity, and correct concrete grade are functional necessities rather than aesthetic choices.
The soils under many Agoura Hills properties are clay-heavy, and clay behaves in ways that stress concrete from below. It expands when winter rains saturate it and contracts as the long dry season pulls moisture out. That seasonal movement is one of the main reasons concrete in this area cracks sooner than it should when base preparation is skipped or rushed. Santa Ana winds in fall and winter compound the problem by drying out both soils and concrete surfaces rapidly. The Woolsey Fire of 2018 burned through portions of the Agoura Hills area and left behind ash residue on outdoor surfaces that accelerates sealer breakdown and can affect how resurfacing work adheres to older slabs.
Properties in Old Agoura, the southeastern neighborhood with larger lots and a more rural character, often involve older structures, non-standard lot layouts, and outbuildings that require scopes of work different from the newer tract neighborhoods closer to the 101 freeway. A contractor who works regularly in Agoura Hills understands that these two property types call for different approaches, and they know the soil and slope conditions across both parts of the city before they arrive for the estimate.
Our crew regularly works on hillside and canyon-adjacent properties throughout Agoura Hills, and we pull permits through the City of Agoura Hills Community Development Department. We know that sloped lots near the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area require different drainage and base compaction planning than the flatter lots closer to the 101 freeway corridor. The distinction matters on the estimate, not after the pour.
Agoura Hills incorporated as its own city in 1982 and has maintained a small-town character that residents take seriously. The Old Agoura neighborhood, in the southeastern part of the city, has homes on larger lots with a more rural feel - some with outbuildings or horse facilities - and we encounter these properties often. Ladyface Mountain is the landmark most residents use as their visual anchor, and the canyon communities between Agoura Road and the mountains are among the areas where hillside drainage and retaining wall work comes up most regularly. We also serve clients in Burbank and the surrounding region, and our crews are on the road across Los Angeles County regularly.
Nearby Calabasas is a city we also serve frequently, and the soil and fire hazard conditions there share a lot with Agoura Hills. If you have a property in either city or anywhere in between, we cover both areas with the same crew and the same permit process.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form. We respond within one business day and schedule an on-site visit - you do not need to measure anything yourself. The site visit is free, and we come to you.
We visit the property, evaluate the lot slope, soil conditions, and drainage path, and give you a written estimate that covers demolition, base prep, the pour, and permit fees. No line items appear at the end that were not in the original quote.
We submit the permit application to the City of Agoura Hills on your behalf. Permit review typically takes one to three weeks. Once approved, we confirm your start date and let you know what to clear from the work area ahead of time.
The crew removes existing material, grades and compacts the base for hillside conditions, and completes the pour. Most residential jobs take two to five days on-site. After curing, we do a final walkthrough with you and coordinate the city inspection before closing out the job.

(805) 906-7989Agoura Hills is a city of about 20,000 people in western Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1982 after growing rapidly as a planned suburban community. Most of its neighborhoods were developed between the mid-1970s and early 1990s, giving the city a cohesive suburban character with a strong owner-occupancy rate - roughly 75 to 80 percent of housing units are owner-occupied. The housing stock is predominantly detached single-family homes, many on sloped or hilly lots especially in neighborhoods closer to the mountains. Median home values sit well above $800,000, and residents have generally invested heavily in their properties over time.
The city's eastern edge borders the communities of Calabasas and the western San Fernando Valley, while its southern neighborhoods back up to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a massive stretch of protected open land with trails and canyons that residents use year-round. Ladyface Mountain is the distinctive rocky peak visible from most of the city and the 101 freeway - it is the visual landmark that most residents associate with home. The Reyes Adobe Historical Site near the center of the city is a local historical park dating to the 1800s that many long-time residents know well.
Old Agoura, in the southeastern part of the city, has a distinctly different character from the newer tract neighborhoods. Homes there sit on larger lots, some with horse facilities, and the area has a more rural feel with older structures and outbuildings. Properties in Old Agoura regularly involve different scopes of work than the hillside tract homes closer to Agoura Road. The city's proximity to open wildland also means a large share of properties fall in or near a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone - a factor that affects what concrete materials and sealers hold up best on outdoor surfaces here. Neighboring Burbank is another city where we work regularly, serving homeowners across the broader Los Angeles County region.
