Redlands Concrete Company brings decorative concrete, driveway replacement, patio construction, and retaining wall installation to Loma Linda homeowners. Serving this community since 2023, we work regularly in Loma Linda and understand how the city's mid-century housing stock, compact lots, and expansive clay soils affect every concrete project we take on here.
Most homes in Loma Linda were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and the original concrete around them - driveways, front walks, back patios - reflects that age. Decorative concrete lets you give those surfaces a fresh look without a full tearout. Stamped patterns, color stains, and concrete overlays work on existing slabs that are structurally sound, which describes a lot of the housing stock here. See how our decorative concrete process works.
A lot of Loma Linda driveways were poured in the 1960s and 1970s. At 50 or more years old, those slabs have been through decades of Inland Empire heat, UV exposure, and seasonal soil movement. When a driveway has shifted, cracked through, or started crumbling at the edges, resurfacing buys time - but replacement is usually the more honest answer.
Loma Linda has a long outdoor season - temperatures stay comfortable enough for backyard use most of the year. Many of the city's mid-century homes were built with minimal patio space, and homeowners who have lived here a while often want to expand what they have. A new concrete patio holds up well in this climate and needs far less upkeep than wood or composite decking.
Loma Linda sits on a hillside between Redlands and San Bernardino, and some residential lots - particularly in the older neighborhoods on the higher elevations - have grade changes that need to be managed. A concrete retaining wall stops soil from migrating toward the home and creates flat, usable space on a sloped lot.
Loma Linda is a compact, walkable city where sidewalks see regular foot traffic from university staff, hospital workers, and students. A cracked or uneven sidewalk on your property is a liability issue and a poor first impression. We pour new sidewalk sections and replace damaged panels to the grade and finish specifications the city requires.
Loma Linda is a small, dense city where about half of the housing units are renter-occupied and the other half are owner-occupied homes - many of which have been in the same family for decades. The housing stock is primarily mid-century ranch-style homes on compact lots, and a large share of the original concrete around those homes is still the same concrete that was poured in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. That original work has been through fifty or more years of Inland Empire sun, heat cycles, and the wet-dry seasonal movement that clay soils in this part of San Bernardino County produce. The result is driveways that have shifted out of level, sidewalk sections that have heaved at the joints, and patio slabs that show hairline cracking across their full width - all of which are more common in this housing vintage than in newer construction.
The climate here adds its own demands. Loma Linda summers are long and hot, with temperatures regularly reaching the mid-90s and occasionally topping 100 degrees. That level of UV exposure breaks down concrete sealers faster than it would in a cooler climate, and the intense heat causes slabs to expand more than concrete in milder regions. Santa Ana wind events in fall bring hot, dry, gusty conditions that put stress on anything exposed. Occasional winter frost - uncommon but not rare here - widens cracks that would otherwise stay stable. A contractor who knows this city plans for all of these conditions rather than treating every project as if it were in a mild, stable climate.
We pull permits through the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department for flatwork, structural concrete, and retaining wall projects across the city. Because roughly half of the housing in Loma Linda is rental property - driven in large part by the workforce at Loma Linda University Medical Center - we work for both homeowners and property managers who need concrete work turned around efficiently between tenants.
Loma Linda covers about seven square miles, which means we can move between jobs quickly without the long drives that slow crews down in larger cities. Most of the residential streets are on a grid layout, and the neighborhoods are easy to navigate. We work throughout the city - from homes near Hulda Crooks Park to the neighborhoods along Anderson Street and the properties closer to the university on the south end of the city. If you are in a rental property near the medical campus, the process is the same regardless of whether you are the owner or the property manager.
We serve homeowners throughout this part of the Inland Empire. If you are in Highland just to the north or in Redlands to the east, we cover those areas regularly and know the permit offices and soil conditions in each city.
Tell us what you are looking to do - a driveway replacement, a new patio, decorative resurfacing, or a retaining wall on your Loma Linda property. We get back to you within one business day and set a time to come look at the site. No commitment needed at this stage.
We walk the area with you, check the existing concrete or ground conditions, and go through your options. You get a written estimate covering square footage, finish type, materials, and timeline. We also assess whether your project requires a permit from the City of Loma Linda and give you a clear picture of that process and its cost.
We submit the permit application to the city and handle all follow-up through approval - you do not need to track any of it. Permit review typically runs one to two weeks for residential projects. Once the permit is in hand, we schedule the crew and confirm the start date with you.
The crew arrives on the agreed date and completes the project. For poured concrete, keep foot traffic off for at least 24 to 48 hours and vehicles off for a full seven days. We coordinate the city inspection and walk the finished surface with you before we close out the job.
We serve all of Loma Linda, CA - from the neighborhoods near the university to the residential streets on the city's edges. Call or send a message and we will respond within one business day.
(909) 488-7493Loma Linda is a city of about 24,000 people packed into roughly seven square miles in San Bernardino County, sitting on a hillside between San Bernardino to the west and Redlands to the east. It is internationally recognized as one of the world's five Blue Zones - places where people live measurably longer than average - largely due to the Seventh-day Adventist community that has shaped the city since its founding in the early 1900s. Loma Linda University Health is the city's dominant employer, running one of the largest hospitals and medical schools in the Inland Empire and drawing a constant flow of workers, students, and researchers into the area. The university campus and surrounding medical district define the character of the south and central parts of the city.
The residential neighborhoods are primarily made up of mid-century ranch homes built between the 1950s and 1980s on compact, grid-layout streets. Lots are modest in size, yards are manageable, and the homes sit close together - typical of a dense Inland Empire suburb. Closer to the university, newer apartment complexes and mixed-use buildings house students and hospital staff. The housing mix of owner-occupied mid-century homes and rental properties near the medical campus creates two distinct types of customers for concrete work: long-term homeowners investing in their properties and landlords who need reliable repairs turned around on a schedule. We work for both. If you are nearby in San Bernardino or over in Colton, we cover those cities as well.
