Serving Chino Hills, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 760-1029
Chino Hills Concrete Company serves Pomona with concrete driveway replacement, patio construction, steps, and retaining walls. We have worked on the older housing stock common throughout Pomona - including homes built in the 1940s through 1960s - and we pull permits through the City of Pomona Building and Safety Division on every job that requires one.
Most Pomona driveways were built decades ago on soil that has been expanding and contracting with the Inland Valley climate for 50 or 60 years. That repeated movement is the primary reason older flatwork cracks and heaves. We remove failing driveways down to the soil, compact the base correctly, and pour with proper control joints. Learn more about our concrete driveway building service.
Pomona's older bungalows and ranch homes often have front steps that are cracking, sinking, or pulling away from the porch slab - a common result of decades of soil movement beneath shallow footings. We remove and replace failing steps with new poured concrete that is anchored and drains properly, eliminating the trip hazard and improving curb appeal at the same time.
Pomona homeowners with mid-century lots typically have modest backyard dimensions that benefit from a concrete patio rather than a large deck or paver installation. A well-poured patio on compacted subbase handles the seasonal soil movement common in the Inland Valley far better than pavers, which shift and separate as the ground moves.
Homes in Pomona near the foothills or on corner lots with graded yards sometimes need retaining walls to manage slope and prevent erosion. Concrete retaining walls built with proper drainage aggregate behind them resist the hydrostatic pressure that causes older block walls to lean and crack, especially after wet winters.
Sidewalk cracking and heaving from tree roots is a well-known problem on Pomona's older residential streets, where established trees line the parkways between the sidewalk and curb. We remove and replace damaged sidewalk sections to current city code standards and can discuss root barrier installation to reduce future damage.
Stamped and colored concrete finishes are a practical option for Pomona homeowners who want their driveway or patio to look like natural stone or pavers without the maintenance and shifting that comes with individual units. The finish is pressed into the concrete before it cures, making it part of the slab rather than a coating that can peel.
A large portion of Pomona's housing was built between 1940 and 1970. Concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios poured in that era are now 60 to 80 years old - and most were not built with the base preparation standards that are common today. The Inland Valley clay soil underneath these slabs has been expanding and contracting with every wet season and dry summer for decades, and the cumulative effect shows up as cracking, heaving, and sinking. Adding to that are the mature trees lining older Pomona streets, whose roots lift and fracture sidewalk and driveway slabs in ways that create real trip hazards over time.
Pomona summers regularly push past 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which also affects how concrete is installed. Fresh concrete in that kind of heat dries too fast on the surface before the interior has cured fully, which leads to surface cracking that shows up within the first year. Experienced contractors schedule pours for early morning and take specific precautions to slow the curing in hot weather. Homes near the foothills in Pomona also face occasional Santa Ana wind events in fall that create the same rapid-drying risk, and wildfire smoke from nearby events can coat exterior surfaces and clog drainage areas in ways that compound long-term maintenance needs.
We pull permits through the City of Pomona Building and Safety Division on every project that requires one. Pomona is at the eastern end of Los Angeles County where it meets the Inland Empire, and it sits along the 10, 60, and 71 freeways - a location that makes it accessible but also puts it in the same hot, dry climate zone that affects concrete performance across the entire San Gabriel Valley east end.
The city's neighborhoods range considerably in character. The Lincoln Park area near downtown has some of the oldest homes in the region - Victorian and Craftsman houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s that sit on established lots with mature trees and older concrete flatwork. Moving outward from downtown, the bulk of Pomona's housing is the mid-century ranch stock from the 1940s through 1960s. The eastern part of the city near Cal Poly Pomona and the Fairplex tends to have slightly newer housing with different concrete needs.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring cities. If you are in Diamond Bar, directly to the south, or in Ontario, a few miles to the east, we cover both cities - same crew, same attention to Inland Valley soil and climate conditions.
Reach us by phone or the contact form and we will schedule an on-site visit within one business day. We serve all of Pomona, from the Lincoln Park neighborhood to homes near Cal Poly Pomona and the Fairplex.
We visit the property, check the existing surface, soil conditions, drainage, and access, then give you a written estimate that covers materials, labor, and any permit costs. We tell you upfront what the City of Pomona requires for your specific project before you commit to anything.
We apply for any required permits through the City of Pomona Building and Safety Division and manage the inspection schedule so you do not have to. Most permit approvals in Pomona take one to two weeks, and we build that into your timeline from the start.
The crew handles demolition, base preparation, forming, and the pour. We walk you through the curing schedule before we leave - including how long to stay off the surface and when it is ready for vehicles. Most residential pours are vehicle-ready in seven days.
We serve all of Pomona, CA, including older homes in Lincoln Park and neighborhoods near Cal Poly. No obligation, just a clear written estimate.
(909) 760-1029Pomona is a city of over 150,000 people at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, where the San Gabriel Valley meets the Inland Empire. The city covers about 23 square miles and sits at the junction of the 10, 60, and 71 freeways, making it a central point for commuters and freight traffic moving between Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. Pomona is home to Cal Poly Pomona, one of the largest universities in the Cal State system, and the Fairplex, which hosts the Los Angeles County Fair each September and is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the area. The city has a mix of housing that ranges from Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Lincoln Park historic district - some dating to the 1880s and 1890s - to the mid-century bungalows and ranch homes that fill most of the residential neighborhoods, to a smaller number of newer properties built in recent decades.
Pomona borders several cities that are also part of our service area. To the south and east is Diamond Bar, a hillside community with a different building style than Pomona's flat residential core. To the west is West Covina, another established San Gabriel Valley city with similar mid-century housing stock. We serve all three cities with the same local knowledge of Inland Valley soil, climate, and older residential construction.
