Towns We Work In
Our home base is Placentia, and most of our jobs are a short drive away. We regularly work in Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Brea, Anaheim and Villa Park. We also take projects in Orange, Garden Grove, Buena Park, La Habra and Chino Hills. If you live in or near any of these, call and we will tell you plainly whether your job fits our schedule.
The work is the same wherever you live. We look at your site, measure, check where water drains, and walk you through options like a broom finish, stamped concrete or exposed aggregate. You get a written estimate that lists each part of the job, so you can compare it line by line with anyone else. Chino Hills sits across the county line, so its permits go through a different office. We handle that the same way we handle the rest.
What Shapes a Concrete Job Around Here
- 01
Housing age
A lot of homes in the area went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, with newer tracts mixed in. Original driveways and patios from that time are often thin, with little or no steel and joints spaced too far apart. When we replace one, we tear out the old slab, check the base under it and pour at a thickness that suits the load it will carry.
- 02
Summer heat and curing
Hot, dry summers are the main thing to plan around. Concrete that dries too fast on a 95-degree afternoon can crack at the surface. In summer we start pours early in the morning and keep the slab damp or covered while it cures. Winter rain is lighter, but it can push a pour back a day or two. If the forecast changes the plan, we call you.
- 03
Clay soil and drainage
Many yards here sit on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement is what cracks slabs over time. We compact a gravel base, cut control joints so cracks land where they should, and slope the surface away from your home so water does not sit against the foundation.

Permits and HOAs
Most cities in the area want a permit for a new driveway approach or any work in the public sidewalk. A simple patio or walkway often needs none, but the rules differ by city. We check before we start and pull the permit when the job calls for one. If you have an HOA, get their rules on color and finish early, since approval can take a few weeks.
