Serving San Jacinto, CA and surrounding areas. (951) 474-1097
San Jacinto Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Redlands, CA with decorative concrete, driveway replacement, patio construction, and concrete flatwork repair. We work on all types of Redlands properties - Victorian homes near the historic downtown, Craftsman bungalows near the University of Redlands, and newer stucco homes on the east side - and we have been serving the Redlands area since 2024.
Redlands has some of the most architecturally distinctive older homes in the Inland Empire, and the right decorative concrete finish can complement that character without the maintenance burden of real stone or brick. Stamped and colored concrete options work well on patios, walkways, and driveways where a homeowner wants a result that fits the property rather than clashing with it. See our decorative concrete services.
Many older Redlands driveways have been lifted and cracked by the root systems of mature trees that have been growing on the property for decades. Replacing a root-damaged driveway requires more than just pouring concrete - the roots need to be cut back and root barriers installed before the new slab goes in, or the same problem comes back within a few years.
Redlands homeowners get real outdoor living value from a well-built backyard patio. Older properties often have brick or stone patios in poor condition, and replacing them with properly sloped concrete - with a finish that suits the home's style - is a practical upgrade that holds up far better under Inland Empire summer heat than original materials from the early 1900s.
Redlands has mature tree canopies throughout its older neighborhoods, and root intrusion under sidewalk panels is a common and recurring problem. Property owners in Redlands may have liability exposure for trip hazards on sidewalk sections adjacent to their property - the City of Redlands places responsibility for adjacent sidewalk maintenance on property owners under its municipal code.
Stamped concrete lets Redlands homeowners achieve the look of flagstone, brick, or natural slate at a fraction of the cost and with better long-term durability in the local climate. It is especially useful on older properties where matching an existing hardscape material is difficult or where the original material has failed.
Block walls and fences on older Redlands properties often have footings that were poured before modern depth requirements, and the clay soil movement here puts extra stress on shallow footings year after year. New footings dug to current depth and poured with proper reinforcement will hold far better on Redlands lots than the originals typically do by the time they need replacement.
Redlands was founded in the 1880s and grew quickly through the early 1900s as a citrus-farming town. Many homes from that era are still standing, and they come with original concrete flatwork - driveways, walkways, and patios - that was poured long before modern mix designs, control joint standards, or vapor barrier practices existed. Combine that original concrete with 100-plus years of clay soil movement, seasonal frost, and the root systems of mature trees that have been growing on the property for decades, and you end up with flatwork that is genuinely at the end of its life. Redlands also sits at about 1,300 feet elevation, which means slightly cooler winters than lower Inland Empire cities - enough for real freeze-thaw cycles that crack any concrete with existing moisture in it.
The city also has active historic preservation guidelines through the City of Redlands Historic Preservation Program. Properties near the historic downtown and in designated historic districts may face additional review steps before permits for exterior work are issued. A contractor working in Redlands needs to know which properties are subject to those review steps and build that timeline into the project plan - not discover it after the job is already scheduled.
Our crew pulls permits for Redlands concrete work through the City of Redlands Building and Safety Division, and we know how the city's historic preservation review applies to properties near the downtown district. For most standard residential projects on the east side and newer neighborhoods, permitting follows a normal timeline. For properties near the historic areas around Kimberly Crest and the downtown core, we factor in the additional review period at the start of the project rather than treating it as a surprise delay.
Redlands has a range of neighborhoods that each have their own character. The streets around the University of Redlands campus have a mix of older faculty-owned homes and rentals, many with large lots and decades of deferred hardscape work. The east side of the city has newer subdivisions with bigger driveways and more straightforward flatwork. The historic downtown area and the Victorian homes surrounding it require the most careful approach when it comes to matching existing materials and keeping the work looking right for the neighborhood.
We also serve San Bernardino, CA to the north and Banning, CA to the east, so homeowners near those borders are well within our regular service territory.
Call or send a message through the contact form. We reply within one business day - usually the same day for phone calls - and ask a few questions to understand what you are working with before scheduling the site visit.
We come to your Redlands property, look at the existing flatwork, check for root damage or drainage issues, and give you a written estimate. We will tell you upfront if there are factors - like historic district review - that affect the timeline or scope.
We demolish the old slab, remove root material where needed, install root barriers if required, compact the base, and pour. For decorative finishes, the stamping or staining happens immediately after the pour while the concrete is still in its plastic state.
After the concrete cures, we apply sealer on decorative surfaces and walk through the finished work with you. We go over the re-sealing schedule for Redlands conditions, which is typically every two to three years given the summer heat and occasional frost.
We work on all types of Redlands properties, from Victorian homes near the historic downtown to newer homes on the east side. Reach out and we will get back to you within one business day.
(951) 474-1097Redlands is a mid-sized city of about 73,000 to 75,000 people in San Bernardino County, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles near the I-10 freeway. The city was founded in the 1880s during the Southern California citrus boom, and that history is visible throughout the older neighborhoods - Redlands has one of the largest collections of Victorian-era homes in Southern California, along with many Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century properties that are well over 100 years old. The area around Kimberly Crest House and Gardens and the historic downtown district contains the densest concentration of these older properties, many with large lots, mature trees, and hardscape that dates back decades.
The newer parts of Redlands - on the north and east sides of the city - have a more typical Inland Empire character: stucco ranch homes and two-story subdivisions built from the 1950s through the 1990s, with tile roofs and attached garages. About 60 percent of Redlands housing is owner-occupied, which means residents tend to invest in their properties and care about the quality of the work done on them. The University of Redlands, founded in 1907, anchors the city's identity and employs hundreds of long-term residents. We serve all of Redlands, and we also cover nearby San Bernardino and Beaumont for homeowners on those borders.
