Concrete work for Spring Valley Lake homes
Most calls here are for flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks around a house. We also get calls about old slabs that have cracked, settled or need cutting out.
A plain or finished concrete patio for the backyard or the lake side of the house, sloped so water runs away from your walls.
Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, for patios and walkways where you want something besides plain gray.
Walkways from the driveway to the front door or around the side yard, built flat and even so nobody trips on a lifted edge.
A new or replacement garage slab for homes where the old floor has cracked, settled or worn badly. We pour it thick enough for the cars you park.
Colored, exposed-stone and other specialty finishes on patios, walks and entries, for homeowners who want concrete that suits the house instead of plain gray.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil where a yard changes level. Each one sits on a footing and drains so water doesn't build up behind it.
Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and other rooms, poured level and either finished smooth or left ready for the flooring you choose.
Concrete around a backyard pool with a broom finish, a light swept texture that grips wet feet. It's sloped so splash water drains away from the pool.
Front and back steps poured in concrete with even rises so they're easy to walk. They replace old steps that have cracked or pulled away from the house.
The concrete slab an addition, garage or outbuilding sits on. We prepare the ground and set the steel inside before we pour.
Foundations for new structures on your property, laid out, formed and poured to the plans, then checked before anything is built on top.
Concrete parking areas for community buildings, small businesses and shared lots, built thicker where trucks and heavy vehicles turn and park.
Concrete footings under walls, posts, decks and additions, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight above them stays put.
Lifting and leveling a slab or foundation that has settled, for property owners seeing cracked walls, sticking doors or a floor that slopes.
Saw-cutting old concrete for new doorways, plumbing trenches, repairs or removal. The cut comes out clean and the slab you're keeping doesn't crack.
Why Spring Valley Lake homeowners call us
Spring Valley Lake is a county community built around a man-made lake. Homes line the channels, a golf course runs through the middle, and Victorville and Apple Valley sit along its edges. We're based close by in Hesperia, so it's a short drive for me to come look at a driveway or patio. Many calls here come from lakefront homes with a patio that runs toward the water, or from houses where the original driveway has cracked or dropped at the garage.
We do the same work in Phelan and the other cities around Hesperia. Around the lake, the job usually comes down to getting water to drain away from the house and to what's under the old slab, and I can't know that part until it's broken out.

How we handle a job here
I come out myself
I look at the job, measure it and write the estimate myself. The size, the tear-out and the base work your ground needs are what move the price.
Questions before the pour
Concrete is hard to undo once it sets, so I'd rather go over the layout, slope and finish with you twice than have you surprised later.
Our crew, me on site
Our own crew does the work, and I'm on site running it. The person who wrote your estimate is the one watching the pour.
Base before finish
If the budget gets tight, we keep the money in a dug-out, packed base and trim the finish, because a fancy top on loose dirt still sinks.
- Old concrete broken out and hauled away
- Base dug out and packed firm
- Slope set to drain away from the house
- Forms and grade checked before the truck
- Rebar set where the slab needs it
- Control joints cut on time
- Job site cleaned up when we leave
- Fully licensed and insured
- Satisfaction guaranteed on every job
Most of what makes a slab last is underneath it, so in Spring Valley Lake that's where we spend our time and your money first.
Is your Spring Valley Lake driveway or patio failing?
Around the lake, water that sits against a house or slips under a slab makes small problems grow. These signs are worth a look before they spread.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One slab sitting lower than the next
- Water pooling on the driveway
- Patio sloping back toward the house
- A gap between the slab and the wall
- Chipped or flaking surface
- Dusty, powdery top that wears away
- Steps pulling away from the door

Spring Valley Lake concrete questions
How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost in Spring Valley Lake?
The price depends mostly on the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out and how much base work the ground needs. A thicker slab, more steel, a decorative finish or a backyard the truck can't reach all add to the cost, because each one takes more material, more time or a pump. Once I've seen the ground and the old slab, I can price your job.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Spring Valley Lake?
Some concrete work does. In Spring Valley Lake the permit comes from San Bernardino County's Building and Safety Division, because the community is unincorporated. The county's list names taller retaining walls and large grading jobs, but it doesn't spell out every driveway or patio. If we're not sure about yours, we ask the county before we start. When a job needs a permit, we pull it as your licensed contractor and schedule the inspections.
Does a concrete contractor in Spring Valley Lake need a state license?
Yes, for almost any driveway or patio job. The California Contractors State License Board licenses anyone who builds or alters structures once the work needs a permit or extra workers, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The county doesn't issue business licenses for its unincorporated area, so the state license is the one to ask a contractor about. We're fully licensed and insured.
What causes a concrete driveway to sink or crack?
Most sinking comes from the subgrade, the dirt and gravel the slab sits on, being raked level instead of dug out and packed. The dirt settles and the slab goes with it. Water running under the edge speeds that up. Cracks also show up in random places when the control joints are cut late or skipped. Those are the grooves that give a slab a straight place to crack.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It can still crack, because concrete shrinks as it hardens, but a well-built slab cracks along its joints and stays level. That comes from a packed base and a slope that sends water away from the house. Rebar, the steel set inside the slab, holds the pieces tight if a crack opens, and joints cut on time give the crack a line to follow.
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 concrete keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. I'll tell you the wait for your slab before we pour. Most of your time without the driveway usually goes to tearing out the old one and building the base. If the job needs a permit, that can move the start date.
