Redlands concrete jobs, from old driveways to new patios
We're a concrete contractor based in Beaumont, CA, and Redlands is one of the cities we work in regularly, along with neighbors like Yucaipa. The calls here run from homeowners with an older driveway that's cracked through or dropped at the garage, to folks adding a patio or widening a driveway for another car, to the occasional small business owner who needs a slab or a parking area.
A lot of what we pour here replaces concrete that's been down a long time, so the job usually starts with breaking out the old slab and seeing what it was sitting on. That's what tells us how much digging and packing your new one needs.
Concrete work we do on Redlands properties
Concrete driveway building
When an older Redlands driveway has cracked through or dropped at the garage, we break it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour.
See the service Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
A backyard patio gives you somewhere flat to set a table and chairs, and we slope it away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling.
See the service Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete presses a stone, brick or wood pattern into the surface while it's soft, a good fit when you want a patio or entry with more character.
See the service Stamped concrete servicesConcrete sidewalk building
Walkways that have heaved or split become a tripping spot, so we replace the bad sections or the whole run, with joints cut where cracks should land.
See the service Concrete sidewalk buildingGarage floor concrete
A garage floor that's pitted, cracked or uneven makes a poor workshop or parking spot, and we can replace it with a smooth, level slab.
See the service Garage floor concreteDecorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and other finishes, for Redlands homeowners who want the front walk or patio to suit the house instead of looking plain gray.
See the service Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
On a sloped lot, a concrete retaining wall holds back the soil so you get a flat, usable yard, and we build in drainage behind it.
See the service Concrete retaining wallsConcrete floor installation
For a shop, studio or addition that needs an interior concrete floor, we set the base and forms carefully so the finished floor comes out flat.

A pool deck has to drain away from the water and give bare feet some grip, so we pick the finish and slope with both in mind.
See the service Concrete pool decksConcrete steps construction
Crumbling or uneven front steps are a hazard for anyone visiting, and we rebuild them with even risers and solid footings underneath.
See the service Concrete steps constructionSlab foundation building
A slab foundation for a garage, workshop or addition starts with the ground under it, so we dig out and compact before any concrete arrives.
See the service Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
When you're adding a room or building on your lot, we put in the foundation that carries the structure, set to the plans you've had drawn.
See the service Foundation installationConcrete parking lot building
When a small business lot in Redlands has cracked and sunk under daily traffic, we replace it with a base built for that load.
See the service Concrete parking lot buildingConcrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete under a wall, post or porch, and we dig and pour them so whatever sits on top doesn't settle unevenly.
See the service Concrete footingsFoundation raising
If one corner of a slab or foundation has dropped and left cracks or sticking doors, raising it can bring it back up toward level.
See the service Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
Sometimes only part of a slab needs to go, for a drain line or a sunken section, and we cut clean edges so the rest stays put.

Working in Redlands: the city's code and what moves the price
Redlands has its own city code, and home projects inside the city fall under it, so before we pour I want to know where your job stands. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application and paperwork with the city and tell you up front, so it's part of the plan and the schedule from the start. We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to talk through any of it when I'm out there.
The price on a Redlands job mostly turns on what's under the slab and what has to come out first, more than on the finish you see on top, and the schedule turns on whether there's a permit and what the weather does on pour day. Your written estimate spells out what's included for your job, and it's the same way we run things next door in Highland and the other cities around Beaumont.
Why Redlands driveways and patios crack and settle
Most of the cracked, sunken driveways we look at here weren't so much poured badly as poured on dirt that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so the slab sank as the ground did. Back when I was pouring with my uncle's crew, nobody talked much about the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and that's changed for good reason. It's hidden the day we pour, and it's the first thing people want to trim from a budget, but I'd rather you spend less on the finish than skimp underneath, because a fancy surface on a soft base cracks just the same.
New work has its own trap. A yard that's been dug up for a pool, a utility line or an old project often has loose fill in it, and that fill settles under a new patio or pool deck unless we dig it out or pack it down first.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Redlands
Here's how it goes from your first call to the final walk-through, so you know who you'll talk to and when you need to be home.
Call us or send the form
Tell us what's going on with your driveway, patio or slab, and we'll get back to you to set a time for me to come out. A few photos help, but they're not required.
I walk the job with you
I come out myself, look at the old concrete and the ground, check where water runs and listen to what you have in mind, so it's best if you're home for this one. You get a written estimate that lists exactly what's included, so you know what you're paying for before anything's decided.
We handle prep and pour
Once you're ready, we take care of any permit paperwork and set a pour day, and our own crew digs out, packs the base and pours, with me on site for the big days. You don't need to be home, but we'll tell you how long to keep feet and cars off the new slab.
Walk the finished job together
Before we pack up, we walk the finished slab with you, look over the edges, joints and finish, and answer whatever questions are left. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Questions about concrete work in Redlands
Which building code does Redlands use for concrete work?
Redlands uses the 2025 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2 as its building code, with some changes the city made to parts of the state text. Those local changes count as part of the code, so on any job the code applies to, that's the version we work to.
Where can I read the building code Redlands adopted?
The adopted building code is on file in the office of the City Clerk, and you can ask that office to see the text. If you'd rather not wade through it, bring your questions to the estimate and I'll go over what matters for your slab.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Redlands?
It comes down to the size of the driveway and what's under it, so I can't give you a fair number until I've seen the job. The biggest swings come from hauling off the old concrete, how deep we dig to reach firm ground, how much base we pack back in, whether the slab gets rebar, the steel that ties it together, and whether you want a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives tires and shoes grip, or stamped and colored work, and your written estimate breaks out each piece.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You're off the driveway from the day we break out the old slab until the new one has cured, which is the wait while concrete hardens enough to take weight, and your car has to stay off longer than you do on foot. Rushing that wait is how slabs end up weak, so I'll tell you the wait for your slab before we pour and plan the tear-out so you're parked on the street as briefly as we can manage.
What is the best way to keep a new driveway from cracking like the old one?
Pack the base properly, cut the joints on time and pour at the right time of day, because concrete can always crack and the goal is to control where. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, early before it picks its own spots, and on hot days we pour early in the morning, since a slab finished in midday heat can end up with a weak, dusty top.
How do I keep water from pooling on my patio next to the house?
Slope the patio so it falls away from the house, and make sure the water has somewhere to go once it runs off the edge. A slab that tips toward the house sends rain to your foundation and leaves puddles at the back door, so I check where water runs on your lot before we set a form, and an old patio that already holds water usually has to come out rather than be patched.
