Concrete services in Upland, CA
D&K Upland Concrete is a concrete contractor in Upland, CA, with 16 services for homes and commercial properties across 12 cities. Some calls start with a problem you can see, like a driveway that's cracked and sinking or water pooling against the house, and others start with a patio, a slab or a wall you want built. The price mostly turns on the size of the area, whether old concrete has to come out, how much digging the base needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on that prep, a permit if your job needs one and curing, the time new concrete needs to harden before you use it. Your written estimate gives you your own figure, with each step and what's included laid out.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out the old driveway or bare dirt, pack a firm base and pour a new concrete driveway sized for the cars you park on it.
Concrete patio construction
Want somewhere out back for a table and chairs? We build concrete patios shaped to your yard and sloped so rain runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio, walkway or driveway can look like stone, brick or tile.
Concrete sidewalk building
Concrete sidewalks and walkways for homes and businesses, run from the street or driveway to the door, with joints cut to give cracks a planned line.
Garage floor concrete
What does a garage floor need? A slab thick enough for cars and storage, set on a packed base and finished smooth enough to sweep clean.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stains, exposed stone and other finishes for homeowners and businesses who want a slab that looks like more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope, level out a yard or keep soil off a driveway, for homes and commercial properties.
Concrete floor installation
Shops, storage buildings and additions need a flat, level floor, so we pour interior concrete floors and finish them smooth for how the room gets used.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to shed water and give wet feet some grip, so we slope the concrete away from the pool and skip a slick finish.
Concrete steps construction
Concrete steps for front doors, back patios and yard slopes, formed and poured with even heights so every step feels the same underfoot.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings, with the ground packed and rebar, steel that helps hold the slab together, set before the pour.
Foundation installation
Starting a new building or addition? We dig, form and pour the concrete foundation it sits on, following your plans, for homes and commercial buildings.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking lots for businesses, churches and apartment buildings need a deep base and good drainage, and that's how we grade and pour them for daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads and strips under walls, posts, porches and patio covers, and we dig and pour them so the weight above sits on firm ground.
Foundation raising
Sinking floor, sticking doors or cracks climbing the walls? Foundation raising lifts a settled section back toward level, after we look at why it dropped.
Concrete cutting
Need an opening in a wall, a trench through a slab or a bad section removed? We saw clean, straight cuts in concrete for homeowners and businesses.

Upland, the city we call home
Upland is our home city, and a lot of its history sits right in its streets. Euclid Avenue runs 200 feet wide from Upland down to Ontario, and on North Euclid you'll find the Madonna of the Trail monument, said to stand for four historic trails, the Mojave Trail and the de Anza Trail among them. The Cooper Regional History Museum puts on cultural events through the year, and across the city we see everything from older homes with their original driveways to newer houses and busy commercial lots.
That history matters on some jobs. The city has 9 locally designated historic districts, and if your house is a designated historic resource, an exterior change that alters how it looks, which can include a new driveway or front walk, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city's Planning Division. If you're not sure about your house, check with them before we plan the work, and we'll build the job around what they approve. We're based in Upland, so we'd rather sort out details like this at the estimate than in the middle of a pour.

Questions about concrete in Upland, CA
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Upland?
A driveway's cost comes down to its size, tearing out and hauling the old one, how much digging and packing the base needs and the finish you choose. Thickness matters too, since a driveway that carries trucks needs more concrete than a walkway. Your free estimate at the property gives you a written figure with removal and cleanup listed.
Why do concrete quotes vary so much between contractors?
Quotes usually differ because of what's left out, most often the base, removal of the old concrete or cleanup. A crew that rakes the dirt level instead of digging out and packing a firm base will come in lower, and that slab tends to settle with the dirt. Ask each contractor to list what's included, the way ours does.
How long do I have to stay off a new concrete driveway or patio?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength for a while after the pour. We give you the days for your job at the estimate and again when we finish, and the work itself mostly depends on the size, the tear-out and whether a permit is needed.
Is D&K Upland Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. Upland requires contractors working in the city to hold a current city business license, and when a job needs a permit, the city asks for the contractor's license and business license with the online application, which we upload when we handle it.
What happens on the day you pour a concrete slab?
By pour day the old concrete is out, the base is dug and packed, the forms are set and the rebar is in place, so the day is about placing and finishing the concrete. We'd rather pour early than in the midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top, and we finish the surface to suit its use, like a broom finish where you need grip.
Do you guarantee your concrete won't crack?
No contractor can honestly promise concrete won't crack, but our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and we do the things that keep cracking under control. We dig out and pack the base, check where the water runs so the slab doesn't fall toward the house, and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned line to follow, before the slab cracks on its own.
Should I spend more on the base or the finish of my concrete?
Spend on the base, because it decides whether the slab settles and cracks, and you can't fix it later without tearing the slab out. It's hidden the day we pour, which is why it's the first thing people cut to save money, and if the budget's tight, I'd rather trim the finish than the base.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Upland?
It depends on the job, and the city's Building and Safety Division is the office that issues building permits, taking requests only online. Its rules say low block walls of 2 feet or less don't need one, but that doesn't settle every concrete job, so we tell you at the estimate whether yours needs a permit and handle the application if it does.
