Concrete contractor in Pomona, CA - driveways and patios on a packed base
All Star Baldwin Park Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Baldwin Park that pours driveways, patios, walkways, steps and retaining walls for homeowners in Pomona, and fixes the slabs a house wears out over the years.
How we handle concrete jobs in Pomona
I started this business in Baldwin Park in 2023, and Pomona is one of the cities around it where we pour driveways, patios and walks and fix the slabs a house wears out. I come out myself to look at the job and write the estimate, and I'm on site running our crew when the work gets done.
Price mostly comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and packing the base needs, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on tear-out, a permit if the job needs one, and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens enough for feet and then tires. My estimate puts in writing what's included and what isn't.
We're licensed and fully insured, and we do the same work in East Los Angeles, West Covina and other cities around Baldwin Park. The cities on this site are a good place to start, not a full list.
Concrete work we do for Pomona homes
Every project we take on in Pomona starts with one of these services, so follow the link that sounds closest to your job and read how we handle it.
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk, split or started holding puddles, we tear it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour a fresh slab.

A patio for the back yard, poured with a slight fall away from the house so rain runs off to the yard instead of toward your walls.

Stamped concrete gives a slab the pattern of stone, brick or tile, which suits a patio or entry where you want more than a plain gray surface.

If a walkway has lifted at a joint and started catching toes, we replace it with a broom finish, light brushed grooves that give shoes grip.

Garage floors that are cracked, pitted or sloped the wrong way can be broken out and repoured, thick enough for cars and flat enough for shelving.

Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns that dress up a walk, patio or entry, for homeowners who want their concrete to match the house instead of blending in.

When a slope keeps spilling onto a patio or walk, a retaining wall holds the soil back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't build up.

Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and rooms that need a hard, level surface, poured over a packed base and finished smooth or ready for flooring.

Around a pool, the deck has to shed water and stay grippy under bare feet, so we slope it toward drains and give it a textured finish.

Front or back steps that rock, crumble at the edges or sit at odd heights can be rebuilt in one solid pour, every step the same height.

A slab foundation for an addition, garage or backyard unit, with rebar, steel that holds the concrete together, over a subgrade, the ground underneath, packed firm.

New foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings, laid out to the plans, inspected when the city requires it and poured so the walls above start level.

When a small lot or shared drive has worn through, we pour concrete thick enough for steady traffic and grade it so water drains away.

Footings are the buried concrete under a wall, post or addition, and we dig and pour them to the depth the plans call for, because everything above depends on them.

If a slab or foundation has dropped and left cracks, sticking doors or a lip at the threshold, raising it back toward level may save tearing it out.

Concrete cutting opens an old slab for a new drain or a wider driveway, using a saw so the concrete you keep ends with a clean edge.

When old concrete needs more than a patch
A thin crack in a slab that still sits flat is usually a repair, a clean-out and seal, and nothing more. When a driveway or patio has sunk, tipped toward the house or broken into pieces that rock underfoot, the trouble is usually the base underneath, and a patch on top won't fix that.
That's when we talk about tearing out and starting over, like a new driveway on a dug-out, packed base, or raising a sunken slab that's still in one piece. Sometimes only part has to go, and concrete cutting lets us take out just that section. I'll tell you which way I'd go and why.
Older homes and street trees we work around in Pomona
Pomona has historic districts and a long list of landmarks, so a job here can be at a house that's been standing a long time. On an older property I take extra care matching the new work to what's already there, and we talk through anything that changes how the front looks before we pour.
The city looks after tens of thousands of public trees along its streets and in its parks. Where one stands next to your driveway apron or front walk, its roots can be what lifted the old concrete, and because the tree is the city's, we plan the new slab around it instead of treating it as ours to cut back.
What to sort out before your Pomona estimate
Notice where the water goes
After a good rain, look at where water sits and which way it runs across your driveway or patio. A slab that falls toward the house sends water at your walls, and knowing where it pools now helps me plan the slope of the new one.
Think about what it carries
Tell me if a work truck, an RV or a trailer will park on it, or a hot tub will sit on the patio. Heavier loads change how thick we pour and how much steel goes in, so it's easier to plan for them now.
Spend on the base first
If the budget gets tight, a fancier finish can wait and the base can't, because it's buried on day one and it's what keeps a slab from sinking with the dirt. Tell me your number and I'll show you where it does the most good.
Questions Pomona homeowners ask about concrete
Who issues building permits for concrete work in Pomona?
Pomona's Building Safety Division issues building permits, and it also reviews plans and handles the inspections. When your job needs a permit, we find out what the city wants for your address and take care of it as part of the job.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway or patio in Pomona?
That's one to confirm with Building Safety, because the work the city lists as needing no permit is fences and short walls, not driveways or patios. You can start with the permit guidance on the city's forms page. I check with the city before we schedule your pour and handle the permit if one's needed.
Does a short retaining wall need a permit in Pomona?
A retaining wall up to 2 feet from the bottom of its footing to the top doesn't need a permit in Pomona, unless it holds back extra weight like a slope or driveway above, or holds back flammable or combustible liquids. Block walls up to 2 feet above the lowest ground beside them are exempt too if nothing pushes on them.
When can I visit Pomona Building and Safety in person?
Building and Safety takes walk-ins at City Hall Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and City Hall is closed on Fridays. You can also call the office at 909-620-2371. If we're handling the permit for your job, you won't need to go in yourself.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Any slab can crack, but most of the cracking people live with comes from a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, or from joints cut late or skipped. We pack the base firm and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack, before it picks its own spot.
How long will I be without my driveway after a concrete pour?
You'll be without it for more than the day we pour, because the new slab needs time to cure before it can take your weight and then your car's. Foot traffic comes back first and tires later, and I'll tell you both dates before we pour so you can plan where to park.
