OneCall Redlands Concrete has served Redlands homeowners with concrete driveways, patios, foundations, and retaining walls since 2020. We know the clay soils, the older housing stock, and what Redlands properties actually need.
Redlands properties range from Victorian-era homes near Kimberly Crest to stucco ranch houses built in the 1970s and 1980s on the north side of town. The concrete needs here are as varied as the housing stock.
Redlands has an unusual number of properties with mature trees planted decades ago, and those roots are the number-one cause of lifted, cracked driveways across the city. We remove root damage, re-grade the base, and pour new driveways built to handle what Redlands soil throws at them - you can learn more on our concrete driveway building page.
Redlands summers regularly hit 100°F, and that makes outdoor living possible only when you have a shaded, well-designed patio. We build patios that drain correctly off the clay base and hold up through years of heat cycling without cracking or becoming uneven at the edges.
Many Redlands homeowners in older neighborhoods want hardscape that fits the character of Victorian and Craftsman architecture without the cost of real stone or brick. Stamped concrete gives you that look at a fraction of the price, and it holds up better than pavers on Redlands clay soil where ground movement is a fact of life.
Redlands has many hillside lots, particularly in the older neighborhoods east and north of downtown, and sloped yards without proper retaining walls lose soil every time it rains. We build reinforced concrete retaining walls engineered for Redlands clay, with proper drainage built in to prevent hydrostatic pressure from causing the wall to shift over time.
New ADUs and room additions are common in Redlands as homeowners look to add living space or income property. Slab foundations for these additions need to be sized and reinforced for the same clay soil movement that affects existing slabs throughout the city.
Pools are common across Redlands properties built from the 1960s onward, and many pool decks from that era have cracked, faded, or become slip hazards. We resurface and rebuild pool surrounds with non-slip finishes selected for the Inland Empire heat, so the surface stays comfortable underfoot even when temperatures climb past 100°F.
Redlands grew rapidly during the citrus boom between the 1880s and 1920s, and many of the homes built in that era are still standing. Properties near downtown and around the University of Redlands often have foundations built long before modern codes, original concrete flatwork laid on inadequate bases, and decades of tree root activity underneath. The older a Redlands home is, the more its concrete needs specialized assessment before any new pour.
The soil under most Redlands properties is the other major factor. Clay soils expand when the ground gets wet in winter and contract when it dries out in summer. That seasonal movement is the single biggest cause of cracked driveways, heaved walkways, and settling slabs across the city. Any concrete work in Redlands that does not account for clay soil behavior - through proper base prep, reinforcement, and control joint placement - will show problems within a few years. We have worked in this soil long enough to know exactly how to address it. The California Geological Survey documents the extent of expansive soils across the Inland Empire, and Redlands sits squarely in that zone.
Our crew has pulled permits from the City of Redlands Building and Safety Division regularly since 2020, and we know which projects require permits and how the local inspection process works. For homeowners, that means no surprise delays and no paperwork left for you to figure out.
Redlands is a city with real character - from the Victorian homes near Kimberly Crest and the walkable historic downtown to the stucco ranch houses on the north side and the newer subdivisions pushing east toward Mentone. We have worked on all of them. Whether the job is a simple driveway replacement on a 1950s ranch home or a retaining wall on a sloped historic lot, we know what those properties typically need before we even arrive on site.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring Loma Linda and throughout the surrounding Inland Empire. If your neighbor across the Redlands city line needs work done, we cover that too.
Call (909) 546-5311 or fill out the estimate form below. We reply within one business day - usually the same day for calls during business hours.
We visit your Redlands property at no charge to assess the site, check soil and drainage conditions, and give you a written estimate. No surprises on price - we explain what the work involves and why before you commit to anything.
We schedule around Redlands weather, avoiding extreme heat pours whenever possible. Our crew handles all required permits and inspections so you do not have to take time off work to be present at the permit office.
When work is done, we walk the job with you, explain curing timelines, and give you care instructions specific to your finish and the Redlands climate. If anything is not right, we come back and fix it.
Call us or fill out the form and we will get back to you within one business day. Free estimate, no pressure, no commitment required.
(909) 546-5311Redlands is a mid-sized city of about 73,000 people in San Bernardino County, located roughly 60 miles east of Los Angeles along the I-10 corridor. It was founded during the Southern California citrus boom of the 1880s and grew quickly through the early 20th century, which is why so many of the older neighborhoods still have Victorian and Craftsman homes alongside mature trees and original hardscape. The University of Redlands, founded in 1907, has been a stabilizing anchor for the city ever since, drawing long-term residents who invest in their properties.
About 60 percent of Redlands housing units are owner-occupied, mostly single-family homes on lots large enough to have mature trees, older driveways, and generous backyard space. That owner-occupied majority means Redlands homeowners tend to care about their properties for the long term - which is exactly why concrete work done right, accounting for the soil and the climate, matters more here than in areas with higher tenant turnover. Neighboring Loma Linda to the west shares many of the same soil and climate conditions, and we serve both cities with the same crew.
