Moreno Valley grew fast in the 1980s. About 4 in 10 of the city's homes went up in that decade, per the Census. The median home here was built in 1988, so a driveway poured with it is close to 40 years old. A drive that age may have cracks across the panels or a corner that has sunk.
BGC Construction pours and finishes concrete for homeowners, and Moreno Valley is part of our service area. The city sits about 23 road miles north of Homeland, the center of that area, by Highway 74 and I-215. We take on driveway replacement and new concrete patios across Moreno Valley.

Moreno Valley became a city on December 3, 1984, when voters in Edgemont, Sunnymead and Moreno approved it. Those communities are older than the city, and Edgemont started building in 1940, per the city's history. The valley held 18,871 people in 1970 and 49,702 by 1984. The 2020 Census counted 208,634.
The city's history calls the growth of the 1980s explosive, and the housing shows it. Homes built from 1980 to 1989 make up 40 percent of the city's housing. More than half came before 1990, and most are single-family detached houses. Building goes on, with 300 new single-family homes authorized in 2025, per the Census permit survey.
On an older lot, driveway replacement means we break out the old drive, haul it off and pour new. When a slab is badly cracked, we replace it. Our work stops at your side of the property line. Street-side work, like the curb and gutter, is the city's and another trade's.
The NRCS soil survey maps most of the valley floor as sandy loam. The main soils include San Emigdio, Greenfield, Hanford and Ramona, all rated well drained. Shrink-swell is how clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. It rates low across most of the city and moderate in about a quarter of it.
Two other layers can matter for footings. In parts of the city, the survey maps a cemented hardpan about 2 to 3 feet down. The NRCS description of the Monserate soil lists very slow water movement through it. On the slopes below Box Springs Mountain, the survey maps rocky ground close to the surface.
Your engineer or designer sizes the footings for the soil on your lot. The city building inspector checks the trench before the pour. We dig and pour footings and concrete foundations to those plans.
Building permits here come from the city's Building and Safety Division, part of Community Development. Applications go through SimpliCITY, the city's online portal. The city's permit FAQ says no permit is required for a patio slab. A patio cover is different, and every attached or detached cover needs one.
A cover's posts stand on footings poured to the permit plans. The same FAQ says a shed over 120 square feet needs a permit. We pour concrete slabs for sheds and garages, sized to what goes on top. The city also offers pre-approved plans for detached ADUs on qualifying lots.
Sunnymead Ranch, Moreno Valley Ranch, Hidden Springs and Towngate each sit under a specific plan with its own design standards. Zoning questions go to the Planning Division, and a homeowners association may add its own rules. The city's storm drains carry water to local waterways without treatment. Concrete washout belongs in a contained spot, never the gutter.
NOAA keeps climate normals for a weather station at March Air Reserve Base, next door to the city. Over 1991 to 2020, rain averaged about 10.7 inches a year. About 8 of those inches fell from November through March. Highs reached 90 degrees on about 100 days a year and 100 degrees on about 21.
Heat speeds up how fast fresh concrete sets, so summer pours here call for an early start. The surface also needs to stay damp while it cures. January lows there average about 37 degrees. About 25 nights a year drop to freezing or below.
Heat also shortens the window for stamped work, since the pattern goes in while the surface is still soft. Plan stamped concrete with the season in mind, and ask about timing when we look at the job.
