Pomona homes we pour driveways and patios for
Pomona is a big, mixed city, and our calls here run from small single-story houses on older streets to newer homes up in the hills and shops along the main roads. A lot of the older lots have a long driveway back to a detached garage, a front walk up to the porch and a backyard that's been patched with concrete more than once. We're a concrete contractor based in West Covina, CA, a short drive west, and we do the same kind of work next door in Ontario and over in Covina.
That mix shapes the job. On the older lots we're usually breaking out thin slabs poured on whatever dirt was there, and on the sloped ones the work starts with where the water goes and whether the yard needs a wall.
Concrete work we do on Pomona properties
Concrete driveway building
Older Pomona driveways often sit on thin, settled slabs with a cracked apron at the street, so we break them out and pour on a dug-out, packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio here usually replaces patchy grass or an old slab that tips toward the house, so we set the slope to carry water away.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a Pomona patio or front walk the look of stone or brick, poured over the same packed base we'd put under plain gray concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks lifted by tree roots turn into trip edges fast, so we cut out the bad panels and repour them with joints placed where cracks should go.
Garage floor concrete
Detached garages on older lots often have pitted, oil-soaked floors that dip toward the door, and a new slab gives you a flat, clean surface to work on.
Decorative concrete
Colored concrete, exposed aggregate and borders suit Pomona's older homes when plain gray would look out of place against the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Sloped lots in Pomona's hillier neighborhoods often need a wall to hold a slope back from a yard or driveway, built on solid footings with drainage behind it.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for shops, additions and commercial spaces around Pomona, with the base and vapor barrier set before the slab goes in.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck takes wet feet and splash all season, so we give it a textured finish and slope it to drain away from the pool.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps on older Pomona homes tend to settle and pull away from the porch, so we rebuild them with even risers and steel tying them together.
Slab foundation building
For additions, ADUs and new builds in Pomona, we pour slab foundations to the approved plans and line up the inspections before the pour.
Foundation installation
When a garage or addition on a Pomona lot needs a full foundation, we lay it out square, set the forms and steel, and pour it to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
We build parking areas for shops, churches and apartment buildings along Pomona's busier streets, thick enough for daily traffic and sloped so water drains off.
Concrete footings
Patio covers, block walls and decks are only as steady as their footings, so we dig them to the size the plans call for and keep the holes clean and square.
Foundation raising
When part of an older house or slab has dropped, we look at why it settled first, then lift and support it instead of just patching the cracks.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut clean openings for drains, doorways and utility lines, and cut out root-lifted or broken sections so the rest of the slab can stay.

Working in Pomona: permits, licenses and what moves the price
If your job needs a permit in Pomona, it comes from the city's Building Safety Division, which also reviews plans and does the inspections, so the pour gets scheduled around their sign-off and not the other way around. When a permit's needed, we handle the paperwork, line up the inspections and keep you posted, so you're not the one chasing it. The City of Pomona is also where a business working here applies for a local business license, and it's fair to ask any contractor about theirs, us included. We're fully licensed and insured.
The price here mostly comes down to what's under and around the job. That means how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled, how deep we dig to reach firm subgrade, which is the packed ground the slab actually sits on, and whether the slab needs rebar, steel laid inside it to hold it together if it cracks. The finish counts too, since a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives your shoes some grip, runs less than stamped or colored work, and tight access for the truck adds time. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the days concrete needs to gain strength before you load it, and I'll give you your own number when I come out and write the estimate. We price it the same way whether the job's in Pomona or as far west as East Los Angeles.
Why Pomona driveways and walks crack and lift
Street trees are a big one. The city looks after about 37,000 public trees along its streets, in parks and on other city land, and when one's growing in the strip by the curb, the roots work under the walk and the driveway apron until a panel lifts and somebody trips on it. When we replace a slab near a tree, we cut out the lifted section, dig out the loose soil and set the control joints, the grooves we cut so cracks follow a line we picked, where the slab is most likely to move.
The other cause is what's under the old concrete, which is usually where the trouble started. A lot of older slabs were poured on dirt that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so they settled, cracked and started tipping water back toward the house. My old foreman used to say nobody ever compliments a base, and he was right, because it's buried by the end of day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut from the budget. I'd rather put your money there than into a fancier finish, because a stamped pattern on a sinking slab is still a sinking slab.

I walk the site with you
I look at the old concrete, the ground, where the water runs and how the truck gets in, and I ask how you'll use the space. Then I write up your estimate, so it helps if you're home for the walk.
We handle permit and forms
If the job needs a permit, we do the paperwork and line up the inspections with the city before anything gets poured. Then we dig out, pack the base and set the forms, checking them until they're dead straight.
Pour, finish and walk through
We pour, finish and cut the joints, with me on the job alongside our crew. Before we leave, I walk you through curing and care, including when you can walk on it and when it's ready for the car.
Questions about concrete work in Pomona
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway or patio in Pomona?
The city's list of work that can skip a permit covers fences and short walls, not driveways or patios, so check before you plan on going without one. The Building and Safety forms page has a "Do I need a Permit?" guide that covers the general rules. If your job does need one, we take care of the paperwork and inspections.
Does a short fence or block wall need a permit in Pomona?
A fence no taller than 7 feet doesn't need a building permit in Pomona, and neither does a block wall no more than 2 feet above the lowest ground next to it, as long as it isn't holding up extra weight behind it. A retaining wall up to 2 feet, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, is exempt too, unless it supports a load like a sloped yard or a driveway, or holds back flammable or combustible liquids. Anything taller or carrying a load goes through the city, and we'll handle that side of it.
When can I visit Pomona Building and Safety in person?
Building and Safety takes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., at City Hall at 505 South Garey Avenue. City Hall is closed on Fridays, so skip the Friday trip, and you can call the division first at 909-620-2371. If we're handling your permit, you usually won't need to go at all.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Pomona?
Your price comes down to the size of the driveway, whether the old one has to be broken out and hauled away, and how much digging and base it takes to reach firm ground. Stamped or colored finishes cost more than a plain broom finish, and a permit or tight truck access can add to it. I'll measure it and give you your number when I come out.
How do I keep a new concrete patio from cracking like the old one?
Start under it, with a dug-out, packed base, a slope that sends water away from the house and control joints cut on time so any crack lands in the groove. Concrete does crack, and nobody honest will tell you otherwise, but those steps keep cracks small and where we chose. Pouring early instead of in the midday heat and keeping the slab damp while it cures help the top stay hard instead of turning dusty.
How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?
You're off the driveway for the tear-out, the prep and the curing, and the curing is the part nobody can rush. You'll be walking on it well before you're parking on it, because a slab needs more strength to carry a car than a person. When I come out, I'll walk you through the wait for your job and where to park in the meantime.
