Serving Chino Hills, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 760-1029
Chino Hills Concrete Company serves Chino homeowners with concrete patios, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. We work on properties throughout Chino - including homes in The Preserve and older tracts near downtown - and we understand how the clay-heavy former agricultural soil here behaves under concrete over time.
Chino homeowners spend a lot of time outdoors, and a concrete patio is one of the most durable outdoor surfaces for Southern California heat and dry conditions. We handle ground prep for the clay-heavy soil common on former agricultural land throughout the city. For details on finishes, thickness options, and what the process involves, visit our concrete patio construction page.
Driveways in Chino take a beating from sun, heat, and the expanding clay soil underneath. The concrete flatwork on most homes built in the 1980s and 1990s is reaching the end of its lifespan, and proper base preparation at replacement time is what separates a driveway that lasts 40 years from one that starts cracking again in five.
Chino neighborhoods have lots of foot traffic, and sidewalks that have cracked, lifted, or developed uneven sections from soil movement are both a tripping hazard and a liability. We pour new sidewalks with the same care for base prep and drainage that we apply to larger flatwork jobs.
Chino has a significant commercial and light-industrial base along its main corridors, and concrete parking lots hold up far better than asphalt in the Inland Empire heat. We build lots that can handle heavy traffic and the ground movement that comes with the local clay soil.
While Chino is generally flatter than neighboring Chino Hills, properties near the southern end of the city - closer to the Chino Hills border - often have sloped areas that need proper retaining structures. We build concrete retaining walls with drainage details designed for Inland Empire soil conditions.
Chino spent most of the 20th century as dairy farming country - and the land that now holds thousands of family homes was converted from agricultural use starting in the 1980s and continuing through the 2000s. That history matters for concrete work because the soil on former farmland in this area has high clay content. Clay soil expands when it absorbs water and contracts when it dries out. In a city where summers regularly push past 100 degrees and most rain falls in a few concentrated winter months, that cycle is severe. The concrete flatwork - driveways, patios, sidewalks - on homes built in the 1980s and 1990s is reaching the end of its useful life, and many homeowners are replacing surfaces that were never prepped for the soil conditions underneath in the first place.
The housing stock in Chino also spans a wide range of ages and property types. Older neighborhoods in north Chino have smaller lots with original flatwork that is decades past its prime. Newer developments in south Chino and near the airport - areas like The Preserve - have younger homes where first-generation concrete is starting to show its first cracks. Commercial corridors along Central Avenue and Riverside Drive add parking lot and sidewalk demand on top of the residential work. A contractor serving Chino needs to know how to work across all of this, not just one type of job.
Our crew works in Chino regularly, pulling permits through the City of Chino Building and Safety Department when projects require them. The soil conditions we encounter across Chino neighborhoods are consistent with what the California Geological Survey identifies as expansive soils - the same clay-heavy ground that causes problems for concrete all across the western Inland Empire.
Chino is a city defined by its main arteries - Central Avenue runs north-south through the city, and Euclid Avenue and Riverside Drive cross the older residential and commercial core. Near the airport in the southern end, the Planes of Fame Air Museum area is a landmark most residents know. The Preserve at the southern border with Chino Hills is one of the city's largest master-planned communities, with homes built in the 2000s and 2010s that are now hitting 15 to 20 years old - the age when original concrete flatwork starts to need close attention. We work in all of these parts of the city, not just one corner of it.
We also serve the cities surrounding Chino. To the east, Ontario is a larger city with its own concrete needs - particularly commercial flatwork and parking - and we handle jobs there on the same schedule as Chino. To the south, Chino Hills is a hillier community where our crew is equally active.
Reach us by phone or the contact form. We respond within one business day and schedule an in-person visit. Accurate quotes require seeing the site - slope, soil access, and the existing surface all affect the final number.
We assess the lot, check drainage patterns, and note any soil or access conditions that affect the project. You receive a written estimate breaking out scope, materials, and permits. We also flag any Chino city permit requirements upfront so the timeline is clear before you decide.
We apply for any required city permits and schedule your job once they are approved. For most residential projects in Chino, permit processing adds one to two weeks before work can begin. We handle the application and manage the inspection schedule.
The crew breaks up and hauls away the old surface, prepares the soil and gravel base - extra important on Chino clay - then pours, finishes, and cures the concrete. We clean up the site and walk you through what to avoid during the curing period before we leave.
Call us or fill out the form and we will follow up within one business day with a time to come out and look at your project in Chino.
(909) 760-1029Chino is a city of about 90,000 residents in the western Inland Empire, sitting in San Bernardino County between Ontario to the east and Chino Hills to the south. For most of the 20th century, Chino was one of California's largest dairy farming areas - a history that shaped both the flat landscape and the soil conditions under the neighborhoods that replaced those farms starting in the 1980s. The city grew rapidly from the mid-1980s through the 2000s as housing developments spread across former dairy land, filling in from north to south. The result is a mostly residential city where single-family homes on mid-size lots make up the bulk of the housing stock. The majority of residents own their homes, and the family-oriented character of the city - many households moved here specifically for more space at lower prices than coastal Southern California - means people tend to invest in their properties over time.
The city sits near the intersection of the 60, 71, and 83 freeways, making it easy to reach from neighboring communities including Ontario, Pomona, and Rancho Cucamonga. The southern part of Chino, anchored by The Preserve master-planned community and the area around Cable Airport, contains some of the city's newest residential development - homes built in the 2000s through 2010s that are now reaching the age where original concrete flatwork needs close attention. The older neighborhoods in north Chino, closer to downtown, have a different character - smaller lots, original concrete from the 1970s and 1980s, and a mix of long-term homeowners and families who have arrived more recently.
