Concrete work we do
Price moves with size, base work, reinforcement and finish, and timing with permits, weather and curing, the wait while it hardens. Your estimate spells out each of those choices for your job.
Want a spot out back for a table and grill? We pour patio slabs that slope away from the house so rainwater runs off instead of pooling.
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, for patios, walkways and driveways that need more than plain gray.
We build sidewalks and walkways that connect your door, driveway and yard, with a broom finish, a light brushed texture, so shoes grip when it's wet.
Need a garage floor that can take a parked truck and a workbench? We pour level, reinforced slabs for attached and detached garages and workshops.
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed gravel finishes and custom edges, for homeowners and businesses who want an entry, patio or walkway to match the building.
We build poured concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope and level out a yard, with drainage behind so water doesn't push them over.
We install concrete floors for shops, barns, additions and commercial spaces, poured flat and finished smooth or textured depending on what the room will hold.
What should go around a pool? We pour decks with a textured, slip-resistant surface and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and house.
We build concrete steps for front doors, porches and backyard grade changes, with even risers and rebar, the steel bars that hold each step together.
A slab foundation is the poured floor and footing a house, garage or addition sits on. We build them to the approved plans and schedule the inspections.
For new homes, additions and commercial buildings, we form and pour the foundation the plans call for, from footings and stem walls to the slab.
Property owners and businesses call us for concrete parking lots and drive aisles, built thick enough for daily traffic and sloped so water drains off.
Footings are the wide concrete base under a wall, post or foundation. We dig and pour them for additions, block walls, patio covers and decks.
When a slab or foundation has settled or tipped, we lift it back toward level and fill the gap underneath so it has support again.
Need a doorway, a trench for pipe or a cracked section taken out? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so the rest of the slab stays intact.

From your call to the walkthrough
Here's what happens from your first call to the day I walk the finished concrete with you, so nothing about the process catches you off guard.
You call, I answer
I answer the phone myself, and if I miss you, I call back within one business day. You can also send the details through our contact page.
A callback
I come out and quote
I come out, look at the spot, ask what it's for and walk you through the options and what each one changes. Then you get a free estimate, no obligation.
A written estimate
We pour your job
Once you say go, we take care of any permit and inspections, then plan the pour around the day's weather and heat. Our own crew does the work, with me on site.
New concrete poured
We walk it together
When it's done, I walk the finished job with you, show you where the joints are and explain how long the curing wait is before you use it.
A walked-through job
Answers first, concrete second
I taught myself the basics of concrete and learned the rest working alongside crews on real jobs before I started C&L Hesperia Concrete Company in 2017. Nine years in, what people mention most is that I slow down and explain things, so you know what you're getting before the truck shows up.
Homeowners call us for driveways, patios and slabs. Property owners call when old concrete has cracked, sunk or needs cutting. Either way, I come out myself, our own crew does the work, and I'm on site running it. You can read more about how we work.
What to weigh before you hire
These are the questions I hear most on estimate visits, answered plainly, so you can judge any bid, ours included, before you sign anything.
Where your money should go first
The base under a slab is hidden on day one, so it's tempting to cut. I'd trim the finish first, because a slab only holds up as well as its base.
Repair, raise or replace
A hairline crack is usually normal and needs nothing. Sunken sections can often be raised, but crumbling or shattered slabs usually come out and get poured new.
Plain, broom or stamped
A broom finish grips well and keeps costs down, while stamped or colored concrete looks like stone but needs resealing now and then. Pick for how you'll use the space.
What to ask any contractor
Ask how deep they'll dig, how they'll pack the base, where water will drain and when they'll cut joints. A vague answer to any of those is a warning sign.
How we treat your Hesperia property
Concrete is hard to undo once it sets, so I'd rather spend more time on your questions before the pour than have you surprised after. I'll answer the same question twice, and when something can't be known until the ground is open, I'll tell you that instead of guessing.
On your property, we keep trucks and forms where we agreed, protect the lawn, walls and plantings next to the pour and haul away our debris. If weather pushes a pour back, I call you myself rather than leaving you waiting on a crew that isn't coming.
Before anything gets poured, you'll understand what you're paying for and why, with every question answered in plain words.

(442) 267-8610Concrete questions people ask me
Straight answers to what callers ask first, about cost, time without your driveway, permits and whether new concrete will crack like the old.
- How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Hesperia, CA?
It depends on the driveway's size and thickness, how much digging and base work the ground needs, whether it gets rebar and which finish you pick, so I price it after seeing the spot. Tearing out an old driveway, tight access for the truck and stamped or colored finishes all add to the total. Call (442) 267-8610 and I'll come measure.
- Why are concrete quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Most of the gap comes from what's hidden, like how deep the crew digs, how well the base is packed, whether there's rebar and how the joints are planned. A low bid often skips base work, which is the part that keeps a slab from settling. Our estimate lists those choices so you can compare bids side by side.
- How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you both waits for your job on the day we pour. Curing is the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, and heat, thickness and the mix all change how long it takes. Driving on it early is one of the easiest ways to crack a new slab.
- Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, for nearly every concrete job, and C&L Hesperia Concrete Company is fully licensed and insured. The state licensing board's small-job exemption for unlicensed workers is capped at $1,000, and it only covers work that needs no permit, done by someone with no one working for them. Ask anyone who bids your concrete to show you their license.
- Who pulls the building permit for a concrete job in Hesperia?
Only the property owner, the owner's licensed contractor or an authorized agent can get a building permit in Hesperia, and on our jobs we pull it as your licensed contractor. The City's Building & Safety Division issues permits, and one has to be in hand before work starts. We schedule each inspection with the city a day ahead, and if we're not sure a job needs a permit, we ask the building office before we start.
- Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Because the base, the drainage and the joints decide how a slab holds up, those are the parts I explain most carefully on your estimate, so you know what you're getting before we pour.
- Will my new concrete crack like the old one did?
Most concrete gets a few hairline cracks, but a well-built slab keeps them small and in places we picked. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle, add rebar where the job calls for it, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, before it can crack on its own.
- Can you pour concrete in the Hesperia summer heat?
Yes, but timing matters, so we plan pours for the cooler part of the day rather than midday, when heat dries the top too fast and leaves it weak and dusty later. City rules allow construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with no work on Sundays or federal holidays, so an early start fits inside those hours.
