Banning homes and lots as we see them
Banning sits just east of our home base in Beaumont, and the jobs we get here look a lot like the ones we do in Cherry Valley. Older neighborhoods have single-story houses with driveways that have been patched more than once. Newer tracts have yards that are still bare dirt, and small businesses need a parking area or a slab for a new building. Most of what we pour here is flatwork, which covers driveways, patios, walks and slabs that sit on the ground rather than stand up from it.
Lots here run from flat parcels to yards with a real grade, so the same patio can be a simple form-and-pour on one street and need a step-down or a short wall on the next. Where your ground falls decides where the water goes, and that's the first thing I look at.
Concrete services we offer in Banning
Concrete driveway building
Most Banning driveways we replace failed from the bottom up, so we dig out the old base, pack new fill and pour a slab sized for your cars.
See the service Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
A newer Banning home often comes with a bare dirt backyard, and a poured patio gives you a flat, usable place to sit, eat and set up a grill.
See the service Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a Banning patio or front walk the look of stone or brick with less upkeep, as long as the base under it is right first.
See the service Stamped concrete servicesConcrete sidewalk building
When settling or roots have tipped a front walk out of line, we tear out the bad sections and pour a level path you won't catch a toe on.
See the service Concrete sidewalk buildingGarage floor concrete
An old garage floor that's cracked, stained or sloping the wrong way can be cut out and repoured flat, so water heads out the door instead of pooling.

Colored, scored or exposed-aggregate finishes let a Banning entry or courtyard match the house, and I'll walk you through how each one wears over the years.
See the service Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
On graded lots, a concrete retaining wall holds the slope back so the yard or driveway stays put, and we plan drainage behind it so water doesn't push it.
See the service Concrete retaining wallsConcrete floor installation
For a workshop, a converted space or a small commercial unit, we pour interior concrete floors flat and level so they're ready for whatever goes on top.
See the service Concrete floor installationConcrete pool decks
A pool deck has to shed water away from the pool and the house and stay safe underfoot, so we set the slope carefully and pick a finish with grip.
See the service Concrete pool decksConcrete steps construction
Front and back steps that have cracked, chipped or pulled away from the porch get formed and poured new, with even steps that feel right going up and down.
See the service Concrete steps constructionSlab foundation building
When you're adding a room, a shed or an outbuilding in Banning, the slab underneath gets the same dug-out, packed base we put under every driveway.
See the service Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
New builds and additions here need foundations formed to the plans, so we set the forms, place the rebar, the steel that ties the concrete together, and pour.
See the service Foundation installationConcrete parking lot building
Small business owners in Banning call us for parking lots and aprons that take daily traffic, built on a heavier base so the edges don't break up.
See the service Concrete parking lot buildingConcrete footings
Footings carry walls, posts and patio covers, so we dig them to the size the plans call for and pour them solid before anything goes on top.
See the service Concrete footingsFoundation raising
If part of a slab or foundation has sunk, I look at why it moved first, then we raise it back toward level where that's the right fix.
See the service Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
Need a new doorway, a trench for a line or a bad section taken out? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so the rest of your slab stays whole.

Working in Banning: permits, prep and what sets the price
In Banning, permits come from the city's Building and Safety Division, and its handout lists the work that needs a permit and inspections, from new buildings and additions to pools and spas. Plain driveways and patio slabs aren't named on that list, and the handout says it isn't complete, so we check with the division by email instead of guessing. When your job does need a permit, we handle the application and paperwork and tell you up front, because the city's review and inspections set the pace of the schedule more than our crew does.
We're licensed and insured, and the crew on your Banning job is our own, the same one we send to Calimesa and the other cities around Beaumont. Price on a job here comes down mostly to the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out and how much base work the ground needs. Your written estimate spells out exactly what's covered, so there's nothing to guess at later.
Why Banning driveways and patios need good prep
The city describes Banning as a growing community, and you can see that in the newer homes we're called to, where the builder left a basic driveway and a dirt backyard. Freshly graded ground like that has to be dug down to firm soil and packed before we pour, because the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, will settle and take the new concrete with it if it's only raked smooth.
On older houses the call is usually about a cracked or sinking slab that went down on a raked base with no control joints, the cuts that give concrete a planned place to crack so any crack runs in a straight line instead of across the middle. We dig out, pack the base, add steel where it's needed and cut the joints on time. If your budget is tight, I'll suggest a plainer finish before I'll cut corners on the base, because nobody sees the base on day one, but it decides how the slab looks years from now.
What to expect when you hire us in Banning
Here's how a concrete job in Banning runs with us, from your first call to the walk-through at the end.
Call or send the form
Call (951) 524-1433 or send the form with a few lines about the job and where it is in Banning. We'll set a time for me to come out that works for you.
I walk the site with you
I come out myself, look at the ground, the grade and where the water runs, and listen to what you have in mind. Then I write up an estimate that lists what's included, so you know what you're paying for before anything is decided.
Permits, prep and pour day
If the job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and wait on the city's review before we set a pour day. Our own crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours, and I'm on site for the big days.
We walk the finished job
Before we pack up, we walk the slab with you and go over curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before it takes feet or tires. You don't need to be home for the pour, but we'd like you there for this walk.
Questions about concrete work in Banning
Does a retaining wall or patio cover need a permit in Banning, CA?
Yes, the city's permit handout lists patio covers and enclosed patios, along with retaining walls and block walls over 2 feet tall. Any retaining wall that holds back a slope needs a permit and an engineered design no matter its height, and every wall needs planning approval. When your job includes one, we build it to the approved plans.
Which building code applies to a concrete project in Banning?
The 2025 California Building Standards Code, which went into effect in Banning on January 1, 2026. Any application received on or after that date, or not complete before it, has to follow the 2025 codes, so a project applied for now goes by the newer rules.
How do I apply for a building permit in Banning?
You apply online through an account with the city's Building and Safety Division, which asks for all applications to come in that way. City Hall has computer kiosks where staff can help you apply, and every residential submittal needs the owner's signed permission, so on jobs where we file, we'll ask you to sign off.
Who do I call before digging for a patio or driveway in Banning?
Call 811 or go to digalert.org for a DigAlert ticket, which the city's Building and Safety page asks for before anyone digs. The ticket gets underground lines marked so a shovel or an excavator doesn't hit one, and on our jobs we get it before the crew starts digging out.
What causes water to pool on a concrete patio in Banning?
Pooling usually comes from a slab poured flat or tilted toward the house instead of falling away from it, often on a base that settled unevenly. A city staff report on the code update says Banning's grading rules were changed to prohibit cross-lot drainage, which is water running from your lot onto a neighbor's, and to require plans from certified design professionals and licensed engineers. So before we set forms, I work out where your water will go on your own property.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Banning?
Your driveway's price is set mostly by its size, the tear-out and the base under it, and I put the number in writing after I've seen the site. A broom finish, a light swept texture that gives shoes and tires grip, costs less than stamped or colored work, and a slab poured thicker for an RV or work truck adds material. Call (951) 524-1433 and I'll come take a look.
