Concrete work we do in Hesperia
Most calls we get in Hesperia are for driveways, patios and garage slabs, and for old concrete that has cracked, settled or needs to be cut out.
A backyard slab for outdoor seating or a grill, finished with a light broom texture for grip and pitched away from the house so rain runs off.
Concrete pressed with patterned mats while it's still wet so it looks like stone, brick or tile, for patios, walkways and driveways that should look finished.
Walkways from the driveway to the door or around the side yard, with control joints, shallow cuts that give cracks a straight place to go.
A new or replacement garage slab that's thick enough for your cars and smooth enough to sweep, for floors that have cracked, sunk or broken up.
Color, exposed stone and custom borders added to new flatwork, the flat pours like patios, walks and drives, for homeowners who want more than plain gray.
Poured concrete walls that hold back dirt where a yard steps up or down, for sloped lots that need a level patio, drive or planting area.
Interior concrete floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, poured level over a packed base so the floor sits flat under shelving, equipment and foot traffic.
The concrete around a pool, finished with a texture that's less slippery when wet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and house.
Front and back entry steps formed with even step heights and solid footings underneath, for homes where the old steps have cracked, tipped or pulled away.
The slab a new house, garage or addition sits on, poured over packed ground with rebar, steel bars that help hold the concrete together if it cracks.
Foundations for new homes, garages and additions, laid out and poured to the plans the city approved, for owners and builders starting on bare ground.
Concrete parking areas for shops, churches, offices and rentals, built thicker and sloped to drain so the lot holds up to daily cars and delivery trucks.
Concrete footings for walls, posts, patio covers and additions, the buried pads and strips that spread the weight into the ground so things don't sink.
Lifting a sunken slab or foundation back toward level, for homes with doors that stick, floors that slope or concrete that has dropped along one side.
Saw-cutting old concrete to remove a cracked section, open a trench for a line or widen a drive, with clean straight edges instead of broken ones.
Why Hesperia homeowners call us for concrete
Plenty of Hesperia homes sit on big lots, so a lot of what we pour here is long driveways, wide side pads for a trailer, back patios and garage slabs. Owners also call when old concrete has cracked, sunk or needs to be cut out to make room for something new. We're based here and do the same work in Victorville and Apple Valley, but in Hesperia the size of the pour is usually the first thing we talk about.
A bigger pour means more old concrete to break out and more base to dig and pack, and that, along with the size and the finish, is what moves the price. The schedule turns on that same prep plus the curing wait, and some of it I can't judge until the old slab is out, so I give you your own figure at the estimate, standing on your property.

How we run a job in Hesperia
I write your estimate
I come out to your property, look at the ground and where the water runs, and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing it is the person running it.
Our own crew on every pour
The crew that forms and pours your slab is our own, and I'm on site running the job, so nobody hands your driveway off to people you've never met.
Questions before the truck
Concrete is hard to undo once it sets, so we go over the size, the finish, the slope and the joints with you before anything is poured.
The base comes first
The base is hidden on day one and it's the first thing people want to trim, but it decides whether the slab settles, so I'd spend there before spending on a fancier finish.
- Dig out soft dirt before the base
- Pack the base firm before forming
- Set forms straight and square
- Slope every slab away from the house
- Cut control joints on time
- Protect your yard during the pour
- Clean up before we leave
- Walk the finished job with you
The base and the drainage decide how a Hesperia slab holds up, and you can't see either after the pour, so that's where we take our time.
What signs mean your Hesperia concrete needs a look?
Sun, heat and water running the wrong way work on a slab every year, and these are the signs that something under or in it has changed.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One slab edge sitting higher than the next
- Water pooling against the house
- Driveway sinking near the garage
- Surface chipping or flaking away
- Dusty, powdery top that won't sweep clean
- Gap opening between slab and foundation
- Steps pulling away from the porch

Questions we hear in Hesperia
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Hesperia?
Some concrete jobs in Hesperia need a building permit, so when we're not sure about yours we ask the city's Building & Safety Division before we start. Its permit list includes patio covers, taller block walls and raised decks, which often go with patio and wall jobs. When a permit is needed, it has to be issued before any work begins.
Who can pull a building permit in Hesperia?
Only the property owner, the owner's licensed contractor or an authorized agent can get a building permit through the city's Permit Center. When we're your contractor and the job needs one, we pull it and schedule the inspections at each step. The approved plans and the job card stay on site for the whole job, and we keep them there.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, for almost any concrete job you'd hire out. The state licensing board lets someone without a license take minor work under an exemption now set at $1,000, up from $500, but only when the work needs no permit and they employ no one on it. A crew pouring your driveway is past that line, and the city also requires every business operating in Hesperia to hold a business license. We're fully licensed and insured.
What hours can construction crews work in Hesperia?
The city allows construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no work on Sundays or federal holidays. That fits how we pour here, because on hot days we want the truck there right at the start so the slab is finished before the afternoon heat. Our office answers calls on weekends, but the crew keeps to the city's hours.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Hesperia?
Your driveway's price comes down to how big it is, how thick it needs to be, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work the ground needs. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and a thicker slab with rebar for a trailer or RV costs more than one for two cars. I write your number at a free estimate at your property, after I've seen the ground.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on a new driveway well before you can drive on it, because the slab keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. Heavy trucks or a loaded trailer need longer still. The time you're without your driveway is the tear-out, the base work and that wait, and we'll tell you the days for your slab when we set the pour date.
What causes concrete driveways to crack and sink in Hesperia?
Most cracked and sunken slabs we see come from a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, water running under an edge, or control joints cut late or skipped. Concrete shrinks as it dries, so some cracking is normal, and the joints give it a straight place to go. Nobody can promise a slab won't crack, but we build so the cracks land in the joints.
