Clovis Concrete Crew pours and repairs concrete in Madera, the county seat of Madera County, about 22 miles northwest of Clovis across the San Joaquin River.
Lumber Town to Farm Hub
Madera, Spanish for "lumber," was founded in 1876 as a timber settlement at the end of a major log flume. It later shifted to agriculture as irrigation from the San Joaquin River and nearby canals turned the plains into farmland for vineyards, nut orchards, and row crops. The city had 66,224 residents at the 2020 census and covers about 16.5 square miles. The Fresno River passes just north of downtown.
Madera Weather and What It Means for Concrete
Madera's climate is close to ours in Clovis:
- More than 100 days a year with highs over 90 degrees
- Nearly 30 days a year over 100 degrees
- About 10.8 inches of rain a year, mostly November through March
That much heat is hard on fresh concrete. We pour at dawn, keep the subgrade damp, slow surface drying while we finish, and cure every slab afterward. For finished surfaces that sit in full sun, like pool decks and patios, a lighter color and a textured finish stay more comfortable underfoot.
Common Madera Projects
- Driveway replacements and extensions
- Pool decks and backyard patios

Permits in Madera
Madera is in Madera County and has its own city government, so permits for sidewalks and driveway approaches go through the City of Madera, not Clovis or Fresno. Unincorporated addresses outside the city go through Madera County. We check before scheduling, and USA North 811 marks utilities before digging.
