Redlands concrete jobs and what they usually involve
We're a concrete contractor in Riverside, CA, and Redlands is one of the cities we drive out to, along with neighbors like Highland and, on the far side of our area, Eastvale. The calls we get from Redlands usually start with something a homeowner can see: a driveway cracked across the middle, a patio that's dropped away from the back door, a front walk with an edge that catches toes. Small property owners call too, most often about a parking area or a set of steps. We're licensed and insured, and I've run this as a business since 2017, after years of weekend pours for neighbors.
The price moves with the size of the job, whether old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose, while the schedule turns on the weather, curing time and what the city wants before we pour. I give you the number for your job at the estimate, after I've looked at the ground, because that's where most of the work on any flatwork job goes, and flatwork just means the flat pours like driveways, patios and walks.
Problems we find in Redlands driveways and patios
- When we're called to a cracked or sunken slab, the base under it was usually raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so it sank with the dirt.
- Water pooling on a patio or running toward the house means the slab was poured without a planned fall, and that water works its way under the slab over time.
- A slab poured in the middle of a hot day can dry too fast on top and turn weak and dusty later, so on hot days we start early.
Concrete work we do on Redlands properties
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked through or dropped at the garage, we tear it out, pack a new base over firm subgrade, the dirt underneath, and pour.
Concrete patio construction
A patio that's cracked, sunk at one corner or too small for how you use the yard can be broken out and poured again, larger if you want.
Stamped concrete services
If you want the look of stone or brick without the loose pieces, we press a pattern into fresh concrete and color it while it's still workable.
Concrete sidewalk building
A front walk with a raised edge from settling can trip people, so we pour new sections where it moved and set them level with the rest.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor that's cracked, heaved or sloping the wrong way gets broken out and poured again with a slope toward the door so water drains out.
Decorative concrete
Color, scored lines and other decorative finishes let a patio or front entry suit the house, and the base underneath gets the same work as plain concrete.
Concrete retaining walls
On a sloped lot where soil needs holding back, we pour a concrete wall on a footing, with a way for water behind it to drain.
Concrete floor installation
Shops, sheds, additions and other indoor slabs get a flat, smooth troweled finish so flooring, shelving or equipment sits level on top of them.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to shed water and not turn slick when it's wet, so we slope it away from the pool and give it some grip.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps that chipped at the edges or pulled away from the house get rebuilt with even step heights and rebar, steel bars that hold the concrete together.
Slab foundation building
For a new garage, room addition or accessory building, we pour the slab foundation on a packed base with rebar placed to the plans you're building from.
Foundation installation
When a building needs more than a slab under it, we dig, form and pour its foundation to the drawings and to what the city asks for.
Concrete parking lot building
Small property owners with a cracked lot or a few worn stalls get concrete laid thick enough for cars and delivery trucks, with drainage planned before the pour.
Concrete footings
Patio covers, block walls and posts need footings, the concrete pads or trenches they rest on, poured deep and wide enough to keep them from leaning or sinking.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or a small structure has dropped, we look at why it settled first and then raise it back toward level where that's workable.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut old concrete for a clean edge before tearing out part of a slab, opening a trench for a line, or adding a doorway through a wall.

What building code applies to concrete work in Redlands, CA?
Redlands has its own city code, and building work in the city follows the 2025 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2, which the city adopted with some local changes to the state text. That's why I check what the city wants before we start, and when a permit is needed, we pull it ourselves or help you apply.
How do I see the building code Redlands adopted?
Ask the City Clerk's office, because the adopted code is kept on file there. You can also read the city's code adoption section online, and I'm glad to talk through what it means for your slab when I come out.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Redlands?
Your price comes down to size and thickness, tearing out the old slab, base work and the finish, and I give you the number on site because the biggest costs don't show from the street. A plain broom finish, a light swept texture that gives shoes and tires grip, costs less than stamped or colored concrete. If the budget's tight, cut the finish and not the base, because a fancy top on a poorly packed base cracks and sinks just the same.
How long does a new concrete driveway take before I can drive on it?
You'll be walking on it well before you can park on it, and I'll tell you when each is safe for your pour before we start. That wait is curing, the time the concrete needs to gain strength, and keeping weight off it while it hardens gives you a tougher slab. Driving on it too soon is one of the easiest ways to crack a new driveway.
Will my new concrete patio in Redlands crack like the old one?
It can, because concrete shrinks as it dries and nearly every slab cracks somewhere, so our job is to keep cracks small and in places we picked. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, on the day of the pour, and we pack the base so the slab isn't settling with the dirt. The rebar we set inside helps hold any cracked pieces tight and level.
Should I repair or replace a cracked concrete driveway in Redlands?
If the cracks are hairline and the slab is still level, it usually doesn't need replacing, but if pieces have sunk, lifted or broken loose, replacing is usually the honest answer. I look at whether the trouble is in the concrete or the ground under it, because new concrete over a failing base goes the same way as the old.
