Concrete Contractor in Home Gardens, CA - Slabs Built on a Packed Base
Superior Eastvale Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Eastvale, CA. In Home Gardens, we pour driveways, patios, walkways, steps and slab foundations, and we dig out and pack the base under each one.
We pour in Home Gardens. The county sets the rules here.
Home Gardens sits outside any city, so the County of Riverside's building rules cover the grading and improvements we do here. Its ordinance calls out the hot, dry Santa Ana winds and the blown sand and soil that can damage a job site, so I time pours around the wind, because it dries a fresh surface too fast.
We pour the same driveways, patios and foundations here that we pour in Eastvale, Corona and Bloomington.
We look before we price. Then we plan the pour.
Before I price a job here, I check what the slab has to carry, where the water goes and what's under the old concrete. Size, thickness, tear-out and base work set the price. A permit, the wind and the curing wait before you can use the slab set the schedule. Your estimate gives you your own number.

Pour it once. Concrete is a pain to redo.
Most bad slabs I've fixed failed underneath, where somebody raked the dirt flat instead of digging it out and packing it, so the slab sank with the dirt. Others tipped toward the house and sent water at it, or cracked wherever they liked because nobody cut joints.
If the budget's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base, because nobody sees the base until it fails. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and set rebar, the steel that holds it together if it cracks. Two major faults cross Riverside County, so that steel earns its keep under a slab foundation.

Call us or send the form with what you want poured and where. We'll call back and set a time for me to come out.

I come out myself, look at the site with you and ask what the concrete has to carry and where the water ends up.

Concrete questions for Home Gardens. Straight answers before you sign.
Read the answers below. If your question isn't here, call (951) 416-3327 and I'll answer it myself.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Home Gardens?
You might, so I check with the county before we start, because its permit list doesn't spell out driveways. Home Gardens is unincorporated, so Riverside County's Building and Safety department issues permits here, not a city. If your job needs one, we pull it.
Does a retaining wall or block wall need a permit in Home Gardens?
A retaining wall 4 feet or shorter, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, doesn't need a building permit under the county's ordinance, unless it holds back extra weight like a driveway or a slope above it. Block walls over 4 feet need one, though other fences up to 7 feet don't.
Can a handyman pour a small slab in Home Gardens without a contractor's license?
Only if the whole job costs under $1,000, needs no building permit and uses no employees, under state law, and a bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to get under that line. The county has no business license, but businesses working in the unincorporated area have to register for its stormwater registration. We're licensed and insured.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It'll probably crack a little somewhere, because concrete shrinks as it dries, and I'd rather tell you that now than after you sign. Control joints, the grooves we cut across the slab, give those cracks a straight line to follow, and a packed base and rebar help keep the pieces from sinking or spreading.
Slab sinking or cracking? Call for a free estimate.
Call or use the form to tell us how the old slab broke, because that usually shows what failed underneath, and we'll set a time to come look.
