Concrete patio construction in Corona CA - a slab built on solid, packed ground
Old patio cracked and sinking, or just dirt out back? We build on dug-out, packed ground so your new slab sits flat.
A concrete patio that gives you a usable yard
Concrete patio construction in Corona, CA is flatwork, the flat slabs our crew forms, pours and finishes, and it turns bare dirt or a cracked, sinking old patio into a yard you'll actually use. The price moves with the size, the finish, any old slab we break out and how easy your yard is to reach. The schedule turns on the finish you pick, any permit, and curing, the wait before the slab can take weight.
What's under the slab matters more to me than pour day. If the ground under a patio is poor, the slab is far more likely to crack and settle no matter how much steel is in it, so we dig out the soft dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before any forms go up. Ask every bidder how they'll prepare the ground, because once the concrete's in, you can't see it.
Pick your finish before we pour, because a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives bare feet some grip, exposed aggregate or stamped concrete each changes how the slab gets built. I also check how we'll get into your yard, since a tight side gate changes the plan. If you want a path out to the patio, we handle concrete sidewalk building too, and you'll see your own figure for all of it on the estimate.

Patio questions we hear most
How much does a concrete patio cost in Corona?
A poured concrete patio in the Riverside area usually costs about $6 to $13 per square foot, and that's the going rate around here, not our price. Rebar or mesh, the steel that strengthens a slab, stamping or stain, a sloped or rocky yard, tree removal and hauling dirt can all push it up, and your estimate gives your own figure.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
It can still crack, because concrete shrinks as it dries, but control joints, cuts sawn into the slab, give those cracks a planned place to form. We cut them within hours of the pour, since a late or skipped cut is how cracks end up where nobody chose.
Who is allowed to build a concrete patio in California?
A contractor holding the state contractors board's concrete license, which covers flat concrete work, can build it, and a landscaping contractor can take it on as part of a wider landscape job. The state allows unlicensed work only up to $1,000, only when no permit is needed, and only if that person works alone with no one hired.
Which concrete patio finish needs the least upkeep?
Exposed aggregate, the finish with small stones showing on top, is a good pick for low upkeep because it's rugged, nonskid and stands up to heavy use and weather. It needs little beyond an occasional cleaning and resealing, and like any finish, you choose it before the pour.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Corona?
I'll go over whether your job needs one at the estimate, and if it does, we handle the paperwork with the city before any work starts. If you'd like to ask first, the city's plan review staff take questions at 951-736-2250 or BuildingPlanCheck@CoronaCA.gov.
Can the soil in Corona make a concrete patio crack or heave?
It can, since slabs on expansive soil, the kind that swells and shrinks with water, can heave or settle unevenly. I look at your yard's soil before planning the base, and the local soil survey maps show how much each soil shrinks and swells. We also keep washout out of the gutter, because the city limits what construction sites send into its storm drains.
