Wildomar homes and the concrete work they need
Wildomar is a short drive from Temecula, where we're based, and most of what we pour here is flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks that lie flat on the ground. Owners of older homes on bigger lots call us to replace a gravel drive, pour a shop floor or set footings for a patio cover. In the newer neighborhoods it's more often a patio off the back, a wider driveway or a walk down the side yard, much like the calls we get in French Valley.
Those lots shape the job before anything gets poured. A long drive means a lot of base to dig out and pack, a sloped yard can mean grading or a short wall, and some older houses have water running toward the garage, so I look at the ground first and the finish last.
Concrete work we do for Wildomar homes and lots
Concrete driveway building
Helps when your driveway is cracked, sunk at the garage or still gravel, and you want a slab that drains away from the house.
Concrete patio construction
A patio off the back door turns a patch of dirt into a place to sit, and we slope it so water runs toward the yard.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or entry the look of stone or pavers in one pour, so there are no loose pieces to settle or let weeds through.
Concrete sidewalk building
A new walk from the driveway to the front door or along the side yard gives you a firm path where dirt and gravel turn to mud.
Garage floor concrete
When an older garage floor is cracked, stained or heaved, we break it out and pour a new one that's flat enough to park on and sweep.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone or a scored pattern can dress up a plain front entry or patio without changing how we prepare the ground underneath it.
Concrete retaining walls
On sloped Wildomar lots, a concrete retaining wall holds the hillside back so you get a flat yard or driveway pad instead of a bank that keeps washing down.
Concrete floor installation
On the bigger lots here we pour floors for shops, barns and room additions, flat and ready for whatever you set on them.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to drain away from the water and the house and stay comfortable underfoot, so we pick the finish with bare feet in mind.
Concrete steps construction
Crumbling front steps or a tall drop from the back door get rebuilt with even rises, so every step feels the same under your foot.
Slab foundation building
If you're building a house, a garage or a casita on a Wildomar lot, the slab foundation sets square and level for everything built on it.
Foundation installation
For additions, garages and new homes on lots across Wildomar, we dig, form and pour the foundation to the plans your builder or engineer drew up.
Concrete parking lot building
Small business lots, church lots and shared drives that crack and hold puddles get a slab built for heavier traffic and a slope that sends water off.
Concrete footings
Footings carry a block wall, a patio cover or a post, and we dig them to the depth the plans call for before any concrete goes in.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or foundation has dropped and doors stick or cracks keep growing, we look at why it sank before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut openings for drain lines, take out a damaged section or trim an old slab for a new pour, so less gets torn out.

Working in Wildomar: permits, licenses and what moves the price
In Wildomar, construction permits come from the city's building department, and the city's list names building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits, so if you're not sure where your concrete job falls, you can ask the City of Wildomar at 951-677-7751. Before we schedule, I check which office covers your address, and if the job needs a permit we file it, set up the inspections and tell you what the city expects from you as the owner, which can add some time before the pour. You can check two things on any contractor here. The city's permit application asks whoever applies to sign that they're licensed under the state's contractor license law, and the city requires every business working in Wildomar to register with it. We're licensed and fully insured.
What moves the price is the size of the job, whether there's an old slab to break out and haul off, how much digging and grading the ground takes, how thick the slab needs to be and how much steel goes in, and the finish you pick. On some of the bigger lots the concrete truck can't get close to the back yard, so we pump the concrete in, and that adds to the cost too. The schedule mostly turns on the permit, if your job has one, and on what we find under the old slab once it's out, and your written estimate shows what's included for your job. We pour the same kind of work in Murrieta and Lake Elsinore, so our crew is usually close by.
Why Wildomar driveways and slabs give out
Most of the calls we get here are for driveways and patios that have sunk at one corner, cracked across the middle or started holding water against the house. Usually the concrete itself was fine, and the trouble is the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, which got raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it settled and took the slab down with it. We dig to firm ground, pack the base in layers and check where the water runs before a form goes up, so the new slab falls away from your house.
The city lists all of Wildomar in Seismic Design Category D2 to E, a design value set for the whole city instead of lot by lot. On footings, foundations and retaining walls, that means the depth and the rebar, the steel bars that hold the concrete together once it cracks, come from the plans, and we build to them.
How a concrete job runs when you call us in Wildomar
Here's how a job goes from your first call to the walk-through at the end, with the city's timing noted where it touches your project.
Call or send the form
Call (951) 466-2140 or send the form with your address and a few lines about the job, and we get back to you to set a time for me to come out. It helps if you can be there so we walk it together.
I measure and write it up
I come out myself, measure, ask what will sit on the concrete and where the water should go, and look at what's under the old slab if there is one. You get a written estimate that shows what's included, so you know what you're paying for before you decide.
We handle permits and pour
Once you say go, we sort out the permit side if the job needs one, and the city allows up to 12 months for a plan review or permit application, counting its extensions. Then we set the forms, pour and finish with me on site alongside the crew, inside the city's construction hours of Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., with no work on Sundays or city holidays.
We walk the job together
When the pour is done, I walk the job with you, show you where the joints are and tell you when it's ready to walk on and drive on. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Questions about concrete work in Wildomar
How do I submit a building permit application in Wildomar?
Wildomar takes permit applications electronically only, so nothing gets handed in at the building department counter. If your job needs a permit, filing it is part of what we do, so you won't be sorting out the upload yourself.
On which days does Wildomar schedule building inspections?
Wildomar schedules inspections Monday through Thursday, and there are no Friday inspections. If your job has one, we set the forms and plan the pour around those days so an inspection doesn't leave the crew waiting through a long weekend.
Does a contractor have to register with the city to work in Wildomar?
Yes, every business doing work in Wildomar has to be registered with the city. The city's registration page lists $75 for a new registration and $50 a year to renew, so asking whether a contractor's registration is current is a fair and easy question.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Wildomar?
You walk on it first and drive on it later, because concrete needs time to cure, the slow hardening that gives it its strength. I give you the dates for your pour at the end of the job, and keeping cars off until then helps keep the surface and edges from chipping.
Will a new concrete slab crack like my old one?
Concrete still cracks some, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give it a straight line to crack along, soon after the pour instead of letting it pick its own spot. We also pour early in the day when we can, because concrete that bakes at midday tends to end up with a weak, dusty top.
Is base prep worth paying more for on a concrete driveway in Wildomar?
Yes, and if the budget is tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before I'd cut the base. Nobody sees a dug-out, packed base on day one, but a plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from getting slick, on a good base usually outlasts a decorative finish poured over loose dirt.
