Monrovia driveways, patios and what's under them
Most concrete calls start with something you can see, like a cracked driveway, a patio sinking at one corner or water pooling against the house. We break out what's failing, dig to firm ground and pack a new subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because concrete is only as good as what's under it.
We're based in Arcadia and cover Monrovia along with Duarte and East San Gabriel. Price moves with the size, the tear-out and the base, and the schedule turns on curing, the days new concrete needs before it takes weight. I'll price yours on site. If a protected oak stands where a new driveway would go, it stays until the city's Planning Division approves its removal.
What we pour and fix in Monrovia
Get a quoteConcrete driveway building
A new driveway starts with breaking out the old one and packing a firm base, since many driveway cracks trace back to loose dirt underneath.
Concrete patio construction
When a patio pools water by the back door, the slope was wrong from the start. We set the slope away from the house before the pour.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still soft, so a patio or walkway looks like stone, brick or tile without setting pieces.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths that have heaved or chipped get broken out and repoured with a broom finish, a brushed texture that keeps wet shoes from slipping.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is cracked, stained through or sinking near the door, we replace it with a slab thick enough for the cars parked on it.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns for a patio, walk or entry where plain gray won't do. The base underneath gets the same work as any slab.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down a slope, a concrete wall holds the dirt back, with footings, steel and drainage behind it so trapped water doesn't push it over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, studios and room additions, poured over a packed base and a vapor barrier, then finished smooth or left ready for flooring.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to drain away from the pool and the house, with a surface that won't turn slick under wet bare feet.
Concrete steps construction
Steps that have cracked, pulled away from the house or gone uneven get rebuilt with even step heights and rebar, the steel that holds them together.
Slab foundation building
A slab under an addition, garage or ADU, dug, packed and reinforced to the plans, because nobody gets a second look once the walls go up.
Foundation installation
New foundations for additions and outbuildings, from digging the trenches to the pour, built to the engineer's plans. Most of the job is ground work nobody sees later.
Concrete parking lot building
For a small lot or a shared drive behind a building, we pour heavier slabs sloped so water runs to the drain and not the doors.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under posts, walls and additions that spread the weight into firm ground. We dig them out and clean loose dirt from the bottom first.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk on one side, raising it back toward level can beat tearing it out. Which makes sense depends on why it dropped.
Concrete cutting
Saw cutting for a new opening, a utility trench, a bad section of driveway, or control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack.
