Concrete contractor in Anaheim, CA - driveways and patios built on solid ground
AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors is a concrete contractor based in Anaheim, CA. We build driveways, patios, walks, garage floors, footings and foundations for homeowners and small property owners across the city, starting with the ground under the slab.
Concrete jobs in Anaheim, our home city
Anaheim is our home city, so most of our week goes to its driveways, back patios and front walks, the flatwork that lies flat on the ground. In the older neighborhoods in the west and central parts of the city, we see a lot of original driveways that have cracked, dropped at the garage or lifted where a tree root got under them, and owners who'd rather replace them than patch them again. Out east toward the hills, lots slope more, and newer homes come with bigger patios, steps and pool decks. Small property owners round it out, calling about the lot behind their building, footings or a foundation.
We work the cities next door too, like Fullerton and Orange, and the lesson carries over. On a flat Anaheim lot, the job turns on getting water to run away from the house, and on a sloped one it turns on holding the base and forms steady before the pour.
What we build in Anaheim
Concrete driveway building
We tear out cracked, sunken driveways in Anaheim's older neighborhoods, dig out the tired base underneath and pack a new one before we pour.
Concrete patio construction
Backyard patios get used most of the year here, so we slope each one away from the house and cut control joints, grooves that steer where cracks form.
Stamped concrete services
Anaheim homeowners often want a walk or patio that looks like stone or tile, and a stamped pattern holds up only when the slab under it is right.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks and side paths in older yards here often heave where roots run under them. We pull the broken sections, deal with what lifted them and repour.
Garage floor concrete
A lot of older Anaheim garages have cracked, stained floors that settled over the years. We break them out and pour a new slab sloped toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and custom borders let a slab match the house, whether it's an older home near downtown or a newer one out east.
Concrete retaining walls
Sloped lots in east Anaheim often need a wall to hold a yard back or make room for a level patio, built on a footing and drained behind.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior slabs for additions, workshops and converted spaces around Anaheim, flat and level so your flooring goes down without a fight.
Concrete pool decks
Anaheim pool decks take full sun and wet feet all summer, so we give them a finish that grips underfoot and slope them to drain off.
Concrete steps construction
On sloped Anaheim lots, front steps have to be even so nobody trips. We form every step the same height and set them on a solid footing.
Slab foundation building
Room additions, backyard units and new outbuildings in Anaheim start with a slab. When the job calls for an engineer's plans, we tell you early and build to them.
Foundation installation
Small property owners call us for foundations under new Anaheim buildings, and our crew handles the forms, the rebar that ties it together and the pour.
Concrete parking lot building
Older lots behind Anaheim shops and apartment buildings crack where delivery trucks turn. We pour them thicker where the heavy traffic runs and plan the drainage first.
Concrete footings
Patio covers, block walls and small structures around Anaheim yards need footings, the buried base that carries the weight. We dig and pour them to the plans.
Foundation raising
When part of an older Anaheim house or slab has dropped, we look at why it moved before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut openings for new doors, trenches and wider driveways, so you can change an old Anaheim slab without tearing all of it out.

Why Anaheim homeowners call us
You get a straight answer, even when it isn't the one you hoped for, and work that starts with the ground nobody sees once the concrete's down.
I do every estimate
I'm the one who walks your property and measures it, and I'm on the pour with our crew.
Base dug out and packed
We dig out and pack the subgrade, what the slab sits on, because a slab on raked dirt sinks with it.
Water sent away from the house
Before the forms go up, we check where water runs so your slab falls away from the house.
Joints cut where cracks belong
We cut control joints soon after the pour, so the cracks concrete makes run in the grooves we chose.
Base comes before finish
If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base, because a stamped top on a soft base still cracks.
Concrete questions from Anaheim homeowners
Do I need a permit to pour concrete in Anaheim?
Many concrete jobs in Anaheim need a permit, because the city says most improvements need one before work starts and only cosmetic work goes without. An older city handout lists retaining walls up to 4 feet, measured from the bottom of the footing, as needing no permit unless something extra presses on them from above, but it doesn't name driveways or patios, so check your own job with the city's Building Division. If the city wants a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the city's office.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, in most cases, because the state licensing board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers, or runs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. The city adds its own rule, saying anyone doing business in Anaheim needs an Anaheim business license, even a company based outside the city. We're licensed and insured, and you can ask me about it at the estimate.
Which building codes apply to a concrete project in Anaheim?
If you submit your project now, it falls under the 2025 California building codes plus Anaheim's own amendments, which apply to anything submitted since January 1, 2026. The amendments address local terrain, climate and geology. When a job needs plans, the city says they have to come from a qualified person, usually a California licensed architect or engineer, and city staff won't draw them, so we tell you early and build to those plans.
What does a new concrete driveway cost in Anaheim?
The price comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work your ground needs, so I give you a clear price after I've measured your job. The finish moves it too, since a broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from getting slick, costs less than stamping or color, and tight access or a permit adds to it.
What is the best time of year to pour concrete in Anaheim?
Most of the year works here, because Anaheim gets about 13.5 inches of rain a year and about 64% of it falls in December, January and February. Summer is nearly dry but hot, so we pour early in the day, since midday heat dries the top too fast and leaves it weak and dusty later. In winter we plan around the storms, and a recent rain shows us where water already runs on your lot.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Anaheim?
You can usually walk on it within a few days, but parking waits longer, because concrete keeps gaining strength while it cures, the slow hardening after the pour. How long you're without the driveway also depends on the tear-out, the base work, the weather and any permit review, and I'll go over your schedule when I come out.
