Pomona's older streets and what they do to concrete

Pomona is an older city than most around it, and on our jobs here that shows up in the concrete first. A lot of the driveways, walks and steps we look at were poured decades ago, often thin and laid on whatever dirt was there, so now they're cracked, sunken at the garage or holding water by the house. The city has historic districts too, and those homes usually have original walks and steps worth matching instead of covering up. The newer streets look more like what we pour in Chino and Upland, with wider driveways and younger slabs.

The city looks after a lot of street trees along the parkways, and their roots are behind many of the lifted sidewalks and driveway aprons, the part that meets the street, that we get called about. So before I put a number on a Pomona job, I look at the trees, the age of the slab and where the water runs, because those three decide how much comes out and how deep we dig.

Working in Pomona: permits, the city and what sets your price

In Pomona, building permits come from the city's Building Safety Division, which also reviews plans and handles inspections. If your job needs a permit, we apply for it with the city and keep track of it so you don't have to, and the start date waits on that review, not just on our calendar. The city's list of work that skips a permit names things like short walls and fences, not driveways or patios, so I check with the city on your job instead of guessing. Local business licenses start with the city too, and we're licensed and fully insured.

I'm a concrete contractor based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and Pomona is a short drive west, the same way Rialto is to the east, so getting the crew and the truck here on pour day is routine. Your price moves with how much old concrete comes out, how deep the base has to be dug and packed, the size and thickness of the slab, the finish, and how easy it is to get concrete to the spot. The schedule turns on the permit if there is one, the tear-out, and the curing, the wait before you walk or drive on it while it hardens all the way through. Your written estimate spells out what's included, so you can see where the money goes.

  • A lot of old slabs here sat on loose dirt, so we dig down to firm subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, and compact a new base before anything gets poured.
  • Before we form anything, I check where water runs on your lot, so the new slab falls away from the house and not toward the door.
  • We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to go, on time and where they belong, so cracks follow our lines instead of wandering.
  • On older homes we match the color and texture of the walks you're keeping, so the new section doesn't stand out from the old.
  • Older lots often have narrow side yards and tight driveways, so we plan how the concrete reaches the backyard before pour day, by chute or by pump.

Pomona concrete questions

Do I need a permit for a short retaining wall in Pomona?

Not if it's 2 feet or less from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall and holds nothing extra up, because the city's building code exempts walls that size. That changes when there's added weight above it, like a slope, a driveway or a building, or when it holds back flammable or combustible liquids. A block wall no more than 2 feet above the lowest ground beside it, with no load above, is exempt too, and the city's permit guidance covers the rest.

When can I visit Pomona Building and Safety in person?

Building and Safety takes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 6 PM, at City Hall, 505 South Garey Avenue. City Hall is closed on Fridays, so call 909-620-2371 if you can't make that window. If we're handling the permit for your job, you won't need to go in.

Will my new concrete driveway in Pomona crack like the old one?

It can crack, because all concrete does some, but it shouldn't crack and sink the way the old one did. A lot of the slabs we tear out here failed from the ground up, so we dig out and pack the base, add rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together if a crack opens, and cut joints so cracks land where we chose. The base is the part you'll never see and the first thing people want to cut, and I'd rather spend your money there than on the finish.
