Half the homes in San Bernardino were built by 1973, the Census says. Across San Bernardino County, that midpoint is 1983. About a third of the city's homes went up before 1960. If the driveway or patio is as old as the house, it may be cracked through or sunken.

The Census counts about 67,100 homes in the city, and six in ten were built before 1980. About 17 percent date to the 1950s alone. Single-family detached houses make up about 60 percent of them. Owners live in half of the occupied homes.
On an old slab, cracks can run all the way through, and whole sections can sink or tip. For that, the fix we offer is driveway replacement, a full break out and re-pour. A wider drive or an RV pad beside it can go in on the same job.
We pour up to your side of the property line. The approach and curb at the street usually sit in the public right of way. That street-side work goes to the city or a public-works contractor. Ask the city before you move or widen an approach.
Most of the city sits on sandy, gravelly soil that streams carried down from the mountains. The USDA soil survey maps Tujunga and Hanford soils under about half of it. Both formed from granite and drain well. The survey rates nearly all of the city's ground low for shrink-swell, the swelling and shrinking of clay soil.
The ground still changes across town. Downtown sits mostly on Grangeville fine sandy loam, which the survey rates somewhat poorly drained. Near Cal State San Bernardino, the survey maps Soboba stony loamy sand. On Shandin Hills and the foothill slopes, rock can sit within about 20 inches of the surface.
Each of these shapes the prep for new concrete. Sand still has to be well compacted under a new slab. On a slow-draining lot, the grade should carry rain away from the house. Stony or rocky ground makes digging footings slower.
Most of the rain here falls in winter. NOAA normals for a rain gauge in the city's north end come to about 21.6 inches a year. About 13.8 inches of that falls from December through February. June through August averages less than half an inch.
At NOAA's station in neighboring Redlands, August highs average 96 degrees, and about 104 days a year reach 90 degrees. In that heat, fresh concrete can lose water and set fast. The ready-mix industry's hot-weather guide says to avoid the hottest part of the day when possible. It also says curing should start as soon as finishing ends.
Washes and creeks cross the city, among them Lytle Creek, Cajon Wash, City Creek and East Twin Creek. FEMA maps parts of San Bernardino in flood zones. Before you plan an addition or a large slab, look up your address on FEMA's flood map.
Bigger projects start with a city permit. The Building and Safety Division says permits are required for all structural work, with a few minor exceptions. A room addition or a detached garage needs approved plans before any digging. We pour concrete footings and foundations to those plans.
Some small buildings are exempt. The city lists a one-story shed of 120 square feet or less among them. Either way, a shed or a workshop needs a level base. We pour garage slabs and shed pads, plus pads for an RV or an AC unit.
New houses are few here. The Census counted 47 single-family homes permitted in the city in 2024 and 5 in 2025. In July 2026, the city filed a state notice on a 105-lot subdivision in Verdemont Heights. Its lots run from 10,000 to about 24,900 square feet.
