Concrete work we do in Anaheim
Concrete driveway building
Where an old driveway has cracked, sunk or started pooling water, we tear it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio gets sloped away from the house, so rain runs off toward the yard instead of settling against the foundation.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete takes a pattern and color while it's still soft, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick without separate pieces to shift.
Concrete sidewalk building
If a front walk has heaved or broken into a trip hazard, we replace the sections that need it and match the new edges to what stays.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or uneven garage floor can be broken out and repoured on a packed base, thick enough for the car that parks on it every night.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed-stone finishes give plain concrete some character, and we talk through how each one wears and how much upkeep it asks for.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard slopes, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil back, and we plan the footing and the drainage behind it so water doesn't push the wall over.
Concrete floor installation
For a new room, workshop or outbuilding, we pour an interior floor over a prepared base with a smooth finish ready for whatever covering goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs a finish that stays grippy when it's wet and a slope that carries splash water off toward the drains.
Concrete steps construction
Concrete steps need even risers and a solid footing, so we form each one to the same height and pour them as one piece with the landing.
Slab foundation building
When an addition, garage or accessory building is going up, we pour the slab foundation to the plans, with the plumbing and steel set before the pour.
Foundation installation
A new building starts with a foundation laid out square and level, so we dig, form and pour it to give the framers a true base.
Concrete parking lot building
A small commercial or apartment lot takes daily traffic and turning tires, so the base, the thickness and the drainage get planned for that load.
Concrete footings
Footings carry the weight of a wall, post or addition down into firm soil, and we dig them to the size the plans call for.
Foundation raising
Where part of a foundation has settled and left cracks or sticking doors, we look at what moved and why before suggesting how to bring it back up.
Concrete cutting
Concrete cutting opens a clean line for a new drain, doorway or repair, so one section comes out and the slab around it stays whole.
Pouring concrete for Anaheim homes
Based in La Habra, we pour driveways, patios and footings in Anaheim just as we do in Brea and Fullerton.
Your price turns on size, tear-out and how much base work the ground needs, and the schedule turns on permits and the weather. The written estimate gives your own figure and lists what is and isn't included.
Rain comes mostly in winter
Anaheim gets about 13.5 inches of rain a year by NOAA's long-term averages, nearly two-thirds of it from December through February, so we plan winter pours around the forecast.
The city inspects permitted work
The City of Anaheim's Building Division reviews plans and inspects permitted work, so on a permitted job an inspector may check the forms before any concrete goes in.
The base decides how it lasts
Where a slab sits on dirt that was only raked level, it settles as that dirt does, so we dig down and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab rests on.
Show us where water goes
If water pools on your driveway or runs toward the house after a storm, show us where on the visit, because the new slope gets planned around it.

Anaheim concrete questions answered
Here are plain answers on permits, licenses, cost and curing, and if your question isn't here, ask me when you call.
Ask me about your job
Call (562) 245-5067 or send the form with any other question about your project or its permits.
Does my concrete project need a permit in Anaheim?
Many do, since the city says most improvements need a permit before work starts. An older city handout lists retaining walls up to 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing, as needing none unless they hold back added weight. Check your own project with the city's Building Division, and we'll file the application when one's needed.
Does a concrete contractor need a state license in California?
Yes, in most cases, because the California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Anaheim also requires businesses based outside the city to hold an Anaheim business license to work there. We're fully licensed and insured.
Which building codes apply to a concrete foundation in Anaheim?
Permit applications submitted from January 1, 2026 on follow the 2025 California Building Codes plus Anaheim's own amendments for local terrain, climate and geology. The city says plans must come from a qualified person, for most projects a California licensed architect or engineer, and city staff won't prepare them, so we build your footings or foundation to those drawings.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Anaheim?
Your figure comes on the written estimate, because tear-out, size, finish and base work move it most. If the budget's tight, I'd save on the finish before the base, since a plain broom finish, a light texture for grip, looks neat, while a thin base settles and can't be fixed without tearing the slab out.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Some fine cracking is normal in concrete, and we keep it in check with a packed base and control joints, grooves cut so the slab cracks along lines we choose. The wide, uneven cracks in older driveways usually come from a base that was only raked level, or joints cut late or skipped.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll wait longer to drive on it than to walk on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength while it cures, the slow hardening that goes on for days after the pour. The wait shifts with the mix and the weather, so we tell you the walking and driving dates for your slab before we leave.
