No patio, or one that's cracked and draining wrong? We build concrete patios in Pomona built for local soil and properly permitted from day one.
Concrete patio construction in Pomona means excavating the area, compacting the soil, laying a gravel base, and pouring a flat slab finished to your chosen style - most residential patios take one to three days on-site, with normal outdoor furniture use within about a week. Because Pomona sits on clay-heavy soil that shifts with seasonal rain and dry cycles, base preparation is the step that most directly determines whether your patio holds up or cracks within a few years.
Pomona's mild winters and long warm seasons mean you can realistically use outdoor space from February through November. A properly built patio isn't a seasonal luxury here - it's a room you'll use most of the year. For homeowners who want a decorative finish, our stamped concrete services let you get the look of brick or slate at a fraction of the cost of real materials.
The City of Pomona requires a permit for most patio projects connected to your home. We handle the application and city inspection so you don't navigate that paperwork yourself.
Hairline cracks are often cosmetic, but cracks wider than a quarter-inch - or cracks that have grown over the past year - suggest the slab is shifting underneath. In Pomona, clay soil expanding and contracting with seasonal rains is the most common cause. Patching is a short-term fix; replacement gives you a stable surface.
Standing water after rain means the patio is no longer draining properly. This happens when a slab settles unevenly - common in Pomona's clay-heavy soil - or when the original pour lacked enough slope away from the house. Water pooling near your foundation is a concern beyond the patio itself.
When the top layer chips off or edges begin to crumble, the slab has reached the end of its useful life. Southern California's intense sun breaks down aging concrete faster than in cooler climates. Crumbling surfaces are also a trip hazard for children and older adults.
Many Pomona homeowners have backyards that are mostly dirt or patchy grass that's hard to maintain in the dry climate. If you're avoiding your own backyard because there's nowhere comfortable to sit, a concrete patio is one of the most practical ways to create usable outdoor space in a city with mild winters and warm evenings.
We pour standard brushed-finish patios for homeowners who want a clean, durable surface at a clear price. For homeowners who want more style, we offer stamped concrete with patterns that mimic brick, slate, or stone, as well as exposed aggregate and colored concrete options. We also build concrete pool decks for homeowners who want the patio and the pool surround done together - both benefit from the same slip-resistant finishes and proper slope for drainage.
Every patio we build includes control joints cut at proper intervals so minor movement follows a predictable path, a slope away from your home so water drains toward the yard rather than under your foundation, and a four-inch minimum slab thickness for standard residential use. Demolition and haul-away of your existing slab is included in every written estimate - no surprise charges once the crew is in your yard.
Clean, affordable, and durable - the most popular choice for Pomona backyards.

Textured, slip-resistant surface that holds up under Southern California sun.
A large share of Pomona's homes were built between the 1940s and 1980s, and many have existing concrete slabs that have been patched, re-patched, and finally need replacement. When your contractor excavates an older backyard in Pomona, they're often dealing with layers of prior work on top of clay soil that has been moving for decades. Getting the subbase right under those conditions takes more time and care than a new slab on a clean lot - and it's the part that determines whether your new patio holds up through Pomona's wet winters and dry summers.
We also work in Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga, where similar Inland Empire soil conditions and warm-weather curing challenges apply. The same practices we use in Pomona - early morning pours in summer, proper base depth, control joints at the right spacing - carry over to every project we do in the region. The Portland Cement Association and American Concrete Institute set the industry standards we follow on every job.
We schedule a visit to measure your space and look at site conditions. A written estimate follows that breaks out demolition, materials, permits, and labor separately. We respond within 1 business day of your first contact.
We apply for the City of Pomona building permit before any work begins and handle all the paperwork. Most permit applications take a few business days to a couple of weeks. You don't need to visit city hall.
We excavate to the right depth, compact the soil, and lay a gravel base layer built for Pomona's clay soil. On pour day we arrive early in summer months and finish the surface to your chosen style - including control joints cut at proper intervals.
The city inspector signs off on the work before we consider the project complete. You can walk on the patio lightly after 24 to 48 hours and use outdoor furniture after about a week. We walk you through care instructions before we leave.
You can walk on the patio after 24 to 48 hours and use furniture after about a week. We will confirm the exact timeline for your project before we leave.
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation after the estimate. Someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site visit where we measure your space and give you a written price that covers everything, including any demolition of existing concrete.
(909) 868-1669We handle the permit application with Pomona's Building and Safety Division and schedule the city inspection. Your patio is on record before we call the job done - which matters when you sell your home or need to make a claim.
We compact the soil and add a gravel base layer designed for the wet-dry movement that clay-heavy Pomona soil puts on concrete slabs. This step is what separates a patio that lasts 30 years from one that cracks after the first rainy season.
Pomona regularly hits the mid-90s and above. We pour early in the morning during hot months and use curing techniques to slow moisture loss - so the slab hardens evenly rather than cracking on the surface before the inside sets.
Every cost - demolition, materials, labor, permits, and cleanup - appears in your written estimate before you sign anything. If something unexpected comes up during site prep, you hear about it before it affects the price.
Every one of these practices protects you - from the permit that records the work, to the subbase that keeps the slab stable, to the written estimate that holds us to what we quoted. Call us to talk through your project.
