Homes and yards across Beaumont
Beaumont is a short drive east of our base in Yucaipa, just past Calimesa, and the houses we work on here run from older homes near the historic downtown to whole neighborhoods of newer tract homes. We pour in Redlands and Banning too, but in Beaumont a lot of the calls are about bare backyards, builder driveways that are cracking and yards that slope.
What moves the price on a Beaumont job is the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick, and what moves the schedule is mostly whether the job needs a city permit and the weather on pour day. Your written estimate spells out which of those apply to you. Before any of that, I want to know what's under the old slab, because the subgrade, the dirt and base the concrete sits on, decides whether a new slab settles the way the old one did. A builder-graded tract lot, an older yard with years of sprinklers and roots, and a backyard on a slope each need different prep, so we plan the base for your lot instead of guessing at it.
Our services in Beaumont, CA
A lot of builder-poured driveways in Beaumont's subdivisions are cracking or sinking at the edges. We break out the old slab, pack a new base and pour a driveway that sheds water away from the garage.
Newer Beaumont homes often come with a bare backyard and a builder slab off the slider. We plan the patio around how you'll use it and slope it so rain runs away from the house.
Front walks and side paths here often heave or settle by the sprinklers. Our concrete sidewalk building starts with a packed base and control joints, cut lines that give cracks a place to go.
Sloped Beaumont backyards often need a retaining wall before there's flat ground for a patio or play area. We dig footings and drain the back of the wall so water doesn't push on it.
Garage floors in Beaumont's older houses are often cracked, stained or uneven. We break out the old floor and pour a new slab with rebar, steel that holds the pieces tight if it ever cracks.
Widening a tract driveway for an RV or a third car usually starts with cutting the existing edge. We saw a clean, straight line so the new pour meets the old slab neatly.

How a concrete job goes when you call us in Beaumont
Call or send a request
Call (909) 768-8077 or use the form and tell us what's there now and what you want poured. We set a time for me to come out to your house in Beaumont.
I measure and check the ground
I measure, look at what's under the old slab and where the water goes, and ask how you'll use the space, so it helps if you're home. Then I send a written estimate that says what's in it, so you're not guessing about cost.
We prep, pour and finish
If the job needs a permit, we check with the city early and handle the paperwork with you so it's settled before we dig. Our own finishers prep the base, pour and finish, and I'm usually on the job with them.
We cure and walk it together
Curing is the wait while new concrete gains strength, so we tell you the day it's ready to walk on and the day it's ready to drive on. Then we walk the finished work with you before we call it done.
Beaumont concrete questions answered
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or sidewalk in Beaumont?
The city's list of work exempt from building permits includes walkways and driveways, but any work in the City right-of-way, like the driveway approach at the curb or the public sidewalk, needs an Encroachment Permit. Exempt work still has to follow the code and other city laws. If your job touches the street, we sort out that permit with you before we break out any concrete.
Does a retaining wall need a permit in Beaumont?
It does if the wall holds back a neighbor's property, because the city issues building permits for that kind of wall. A wall no more than 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top, is on the city's exempt list unless it supports a surcharge, which is extra weight above it like a driveway, a slope or a building. That line is easy to cross on a sloped lot, so I measure for it at the estimate.
How do I send in a permit application in Beaumont?
You email it, because the city's Building & Safety office accepts permits only at permits@beaumontca.gov. The application goes in complete, with any supporting documents, plans and specifications, and the City Hall customer service window takes questions at 951-769-8520, Monday to Thursday from 8 am to 5 pm and Friday from 8 am to noon. On our jobs, we put that paperwork together with you.
How do I know if my concrete contractor needs a California license?
A contractor needs a license from the state licensing board when the job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials across its contracts. A job under $1,000 is exempt only with no permit, no employee labor and no advertising as a licensed contractor, so most slab work crosses that line. We're fully licensed and insured.
Does a contractor need a Beaumont business license to work in the city?
Yes, the city requires a business license of every person or company doing business in Beaumont. Contractors have their own category, with fees that count the workers on the job inside city limits, so the flat $72.00 yearly license the city lists for out-of-town businesses doesn't cover them.
How much does a new concrete driveway or patio cost in Beaumont?
Your cost comes from a written estimate after I've seen the site, because the finish and the base work change it more than people expect. A stamped or colored finish costs more than a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, and a driveway approach adds a city permit to the job. If the budget's tight, I'd rather you keep the plain finish and pay for a dug-out, packed base, because the base is hidden on day one and it's the part that decides whether the slab sinks.
