What does it take to build a concrete patio in Moreno Valley?

Concrete patio construction in Moreno Valley is flatwork, the trade's word for flat slabs like patios, walkways and driveways, where we dig out and pack the ground, then form, pour, finish and cure a slab you can use for years. Bedrock Moreno Valley Concrete Company is based in Moreno Valley and builds patios across the cities around it in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Most patio calls we get start with bare dirt out back, or an old slab that's cracked, sunk at one corner or holding water by the door. The price moves with the size of the patio, how much digging and packing the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, needs, whether we're breaking out an old slab and the finish you pick, while the schedule turns mostly on the ground, the weather on pour day and, when the city needs one, the permit. I'll look at all of that on site, and the written estimate spells out what's included so you know what you're paying for.

Why Moreno Valley calls us for patios

I put the most care into the work you won't see once the patio's done, the ground under it and the cure after the pour.

  • The owner at every pour

    I come out to look at every job and run the pours, and our crew handles the forming, placing and finishing.

  • In Moreno Valley since 2017

    I started this business here in 2017 after learning the trade on crews around the Inland Empire.

  • Licensed and insured on every job

    We're licensed and fully insured, so the crew working on your property is covered from the dig to the cleanup.

  • Bad news before the pour

    Concrete gives you one shot, so if your ground or water needs work, I'll tell you before we pour, not after.

  • Your satisfaction, guaranteed

    You deal with one person from the first look to the final walk-through, so nothing gets lost along the way.

Concrete patio options we build

Before we form anything, I look at your ground and where sprinkler and roof water land, because water soaking one edge more than another can move a slab.

  • Broom-finish patio on a packed base

    This suits most backyard patios, a small slab carrying furniture and foot traffic on ground with no sign of trouble, and one concrete guide says a patio like that may do well on a packed gravel base. We dig out and compact that base instead of raking dirt level, then give the top a broom finish, a light texture dragged across it so it isn't slick when wet.

  • Patio on ground that's moved

    If your old slab has heaved or sunk, water keeps seeping up, the yard was filled with loose dirt or you know it's heavy clay, the same guide says a soil engineer should look at the ground first, which adds a step before the pour. I'd rather tell you that at the estimate than explain a cracked patio a year from now.

  • Stamped or colored patio

    If you want the look of stone or tile, we do that through our stamped concrete services, poured on the same packed base. When the budget gets tight, trim the finish before you trim the base, because a pattern shows on day one but the ground under it decides how long it lasts.

  • Patio with a walkway to it

    Most patios need a path to the driveway or side gate, and we can pour one alongside through our concrete sidewalk building work. Planning both at once lets us line up the joints and send water away from the house across both slabs.

What happens when you call about a patio in Moreno Valley?

We plan every patio around your yard and how you'll use it, so the ground and the water get sorted out before anyone talks about pour day.

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (951) 518-9186 or send the form, and tell us roughly where the patio's going and what's out there now.

  2. I come out

    I come out to look at the yard, measure it and ask what the patio needs to carry, from a table and chairs to a hot tub.

  3. A written estimate

    You get a written estimate that spells out what's included, and if the city needs a permit for your patio, we handle it.

  4. Prep, pour, walk-through

    We prep the ground, pour on a day that suits the weather and then walk the finished patio with you.

Questions about concrete patios

How much does a concrete patio cost in Moreno Valley?

A residential concrete patio in the Riverside area usually costs about $6 to $13 per square foot installed. That's the going rate around here, not our quote, and where yours lands comes down to the size, ground work and finish I covered above. The written estimate after my visit gives you your own number.

What causes a new concrete patio to crack?

Concrete shrinks as it dries, so some cracking is normal, and the real job is deciding where it happens. Control joints, grooves usually sawn into the slab within hours of the pour, give those cracks a straight, planned line to follow instead of wandering across the patio. Hot afternoons cause another kind, when the top dries faster than water can rise to it, so in summer we may start the pour early or late in the day when it's cooler.

How do I make sure a new concrete patio is cured properly?

Ask your contractor how they'll cure the slab before you sign, because the answer tells you a lot. Curing, the waiting period after the pour, protects fresh concrete from low humidity, drying wind and big temperature swings, and skipping it can leave you with shrinkage cracks, scaling and a top that flakes off. We put as much care into the cure as the pour, and I'll tell you how long to stay off your patio for your job.

How much can a concrete contractor ask for up front in California?

In California, a contractor can't ask for or take a down payment of more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Any other payments have to be spelled out in the contract and tied to work already done or materials already delivered to your home. If someone wants a big check before the forms go up, that's your cue to keep looking.

Who should I hire to build a concrete patio in California?

Hire a licensed concrete contractor, because California's concrete classification is the license that covers forming, pouring, placing and finishing flat concrete work like a patio. Ask to see the license before you sign anything, and ask who'll actually be on site for the pour.

Can you pour a new patio over my old cracked slab?

Usually not, because whatever cracked or sank the old slab is still under it, and new concrete tends to follow it. We'd rather break out the old patio, fix the ground and start fresh, and I'll tell you at the estimate if yours is sound enough to work with.

Concrete patio construction on Moreno Valley ground

Moreno Valley's permits come from the city's Building and Safety Division, which issues them for new construction and changes to existing structures, and its permit chart lists residential patios, so a new patio is something we check with the city before we dig. When your job needs one, we handle the application, which the city takes online, line up the inspections the division does and walk you through what each step looks like. If you've got a permit question before you call us, the division is the place to ask.

Some ground around Moreno Valley has poor to fair stability and can be expansive, the kind of soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries, which is why the base under a patio matters so much here. We see the same kind of ground on jobs in Perris and San Jacinto, and we handle it the same way, by looking at the dirt before we form anything.
