New concrete patios and replacements for Inland Empire homes

A concrete patio turns the dirt behind your house into solid, usable space. BGC Construction pours new concrete patios for homes across the Inland Empire. We also replace old patios that have cracked through or sunk toward the house. Patio extensions are part of the work, and so is the slab under a covered patio or a front porch.

We look at the job and put the quote in writing. Patios are one part of the work we do as a concrete contractor serving Homeland and the towns around it. The service area covers western Riverside County and reaches into San Bernardino County. Call or text (951) 483-4138 to set up a time.

What We Handle

  • New concrete patios in backyards and side yards
  • Patio replacement, with the old patio broken out and hauled off
  • Patio extensions that add room to the patio you have
  • Slabs for a covered patio or a front porch
  • Pads for a spa or an outdoor kitchen
  • A broom finish for grip, or a smooth finish under a cover
  • A slope away from the house, as California's residential code calls for

What goes into a new concrete patio?

A new concrete patio starts with layout. We mark the shape on the ground and check where it meets each door. Back-door steps and a path to the side gate are concrete walkway work, planned in the same layout. Then the dirt comes out and the forms are set along the edges.

Before a backyard dig, California law requires whoever digs to contact DigAlert at least two working days ahead. Backyards often hold private lines, like a gas line to a grill or power to a spa. Those are yours to point out, because the utility marks usually stop at the meters.

California's residential code calls for paving within 10 feet of a house to slope away at least 2 percent. That is about a quarter inch of drop per foot, enough to send rain toward the yard. Then the concrete is placed and given its finish while it is still workable.

Replacing or extending a concrete patio

If rain pools against the house, the old patio may have settled toward it. A patio that has cracked through or sunk gets replaced. We break out the old concrete and haul it off, and the new patio goes in with the right slope.

A patio extension adds room to the patio you already have. The new section meets the old one at a joint. Fresh concrete seldom matches the color of a weathered patio at first, so expect the two to look different.

Many patios get a cover later. The cover itself is another trade, built to its own plans. Its posts often need patio cover footings, and we pour those to the cover's plans.

What concrete patio contractors watch for in Inland Empire heat and soil

NOAA's 30-year averages for the valley stations around Homeland put July and August highs in the mid to upper 90s. Nights cool off into the 60s.

The ready-mixed concrete industry's hot weather guidance ties both ends of that swing to cracking. Fast drying in the heat can cause early shrinkage cracks at the surface. A quick drop in temperature after a hot-day pour can crack a slab too. The guidance calls for curing right after the finish, with the patio kept wet or covered.

Soil changes from town to town here. The NRCS soil survey maps Homeland's flats as sandy, granite-based soil that drains well. Expansive clay shows up in parts of Perris, Sun City, Menifee and Murrieta. On that clay, steady ground moisture and firm compaction under the patio matter more.

How We Work

How a Job With BGC Runs

From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.

Call or text

Call or text (951) 483-4138. Tell us what you want poured and the town the house is in, and text photos if you have them.

2

We look at the job

We come out and measure the area. We also check the slope of the ground and how the ready-mix truck will reach the pour.

3

Your written quote

The quote lists the work and the price. Once you say yes, we set a date for the job.

4

Prep and forms

California law requires whoever digs to contact DigAlert at least two working days before the dig. On a replacement, the old slab comes out first. Then the ground is graded and the forms go in.

5

The pour and the finish

The ready-mix truck arrives, and we pour and finish the concrete. We clean up when the work is done. Then we tell you when you can walk on the new concrete and when you can drive on it.

FAQ

Concrete Patios Questions, Answered

Common questions about concrete patios around Homeland and the Inland Empire. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (951) 483-4138

How much does a concrete patio cost?
Size is the main driver of concrete patio cost. Breaking out an old patio adds work, and so does a side yard too narrow for the concrete truck. We look at the job and put the quote in writing. For market numbers, see our concrete patio cost guide.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio?
A patio slab on the ground often needs no building permit, and Moreno Valley and Temecula say so in writing. A patio cover is different: it needs a permit, and its post footings get inspected. For a lot in Homeland or another unincorporated community, Riverside County Building and Safety is the office to ask. In a city, ask that city's building division.
Will my new concrete patio crack?
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so some cracking is normal on any patio. Control joints give that shrinkage a planned place to show up. Settling can crack a patio too. Riverside County's grading page warns that poorly compacted soil under a building pad can settle.
Should my patio get a broom finish or a smooth finish?
A broom finish leaves fine lines that give your feet grip when the patio is wet. A smooth troweled finish looks clean but gets slick when wet, so it suits a patio under a cover. If you want a pattern or color, that is stamped and colored concrete.
Can you pour a pad for a spa or an outdoor kitchen?
Yes, we pour the pad. A filled spa is heavy, so the pad gets planned around the spa you pick. The outdoor kitchen itself is another trade, and gas or power lines under the pad go in first.
How soon can we use a new concrete patio?
Foot traffic comes first, once the surface has set hard. Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks, so the heaviest loads, like a filled spa, come last. Ask about the timing for your patio when we look at the job.
