Serving Claremont, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 788-2719
GetItDone Claremont Concrete is a Concrete Contractor in Upland, CA, handling slab foundations, driveway replacement, and concrete patios for homeowners across the city. We have served the Inland Empire since 7+ years and respond to new requests within one business day.
Upland homeowners adding a room, a detached garage, or an ADU need a reinforced slab that meets California Building Code and accounts for the clay soils that shift here seasonally. Our slab foundation building work includes proper subgrade prep, rebar layout, and curing suited for the Inland Empire heat.
Upland has a large share of homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, and many of those original driveways are long overdue for replacement. Mature trees along Euclid Avenue and in the older neighborhoods frequently push roots under slabs, causing heaving and cracking that becomes a safety and curb appeal issue.
Upland summers are long and the backyard is usable for most of the year, making a well-poured concrete patio a practical investment. We size and finish patios to suit the property and pour to the thickness needed for the local soil conditions.
Homes on the north side of Upland, near the foothills and closer to Rancho Cucamonga, often have sloped lots that need retaining walls to create flat usable space and prevent soil movement. Concrete retaining walls in this area need to be engineered for both the grade and the expansive soil conditions.
Upland's older neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots frequently lift and crack public sidewalks adjacent to residential properties. The city can require homeowners to repair damaged sidewalks, and we handle both the repair work and the City of Upland permit process.
Upland's clay soils cause foundations to settle unevenly over decades, and older ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s are particularly susceptible. When a foundation has settled and needs to be raised and stabilized, prompt action prevents further structural damage.
A large share of Upland's housing stock was built between the 1950s and the 1980s. Those homes - many of them single-story ranch houses with attached garages on 6,000 to 9,000 square foot lots - now have concrete that is 40 to 70 years old. The combination of age, root pressure from the mature trees that line streets near Euclid Avenue and the older downtown corridor, and Upland's expansive clay soils means cracking and settling are not random events. They are the predictable result of local conditions working on older slabs over time.
Upland summers regularly reach 95 to 100 degrees, and the dry Inland Empire air causes concrete to cure faster than in coastal markets. Concrete that is not kept moist during the first week after pouring - especially in summer - develops surface shrinkage cracks that allow water entry in winter. The seasonal cycle of wet winters and dry summers also causes the clay subgrade to expand and contract, putting stress on slabs from below. Contractors who do not account for these local conditions produce work that looks fine initially but fails within a few years.
Our crew works throughout Upland regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. We are familiar with the permit process at the City of Upland Building and Safety Division and know the inspection requirements for flatwork, slabs, and structural concrete within the city. The housing stock we encounter most often is the mid-century ranch home - stucco exterior, attached garage, concrete driveway - and we know what these properties typically need.
Upland is known as the "City of Gracious Living," and the wide, tree-lined Euclid Avenue running through the center of the city is the most recognizable feature of the older neighborhoods. Homes near that corridor tend to have the oldest concrete and the most root pressure from the large mature trees. On the north side of the city, closer to the foothills and Mount Baldy, newer subdivisions from the 1980s and 1990s present different challenges - tile roofs, larger lots, and sloped terrain that requires careful drainage planning during any flatwork project.
Upland sits directly adjacent to Rancho Cucamonga, CA to the east, and we serve homeowners throughout that area as well. Montclair, CA borders Upland to the south, and we regularly work on properties on both sides of that line.

(909) 788-2719Upland is a city of roughly 80,000 people in San Bernardino County, sitting at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains at the western edge of the Inland Empire. The city is known for its tree-lined Euclid Avenue, one of the most iconic boulevards in the region, and for the historic Upland Train Depot on A Street, which dates to 1906. Most of the city's residential neighborhoods are made up of single-family homes, with older ranch-style houses concentrated near the downtown corridor and newer subdivisions filling in the northern end of the city toward the foothills. Mount Baldy - the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains - is visible from most of Upland and is a landmark that residents recognize immediately on the northern horizon. Learn more about the city at the Upland, California Wikipedia article.
Upland borders several cities we serve regularly. Claremont is directly to the west, and Montclair, CA sits to the southwest along the 10 Freeway. The homeownership rate in Upland is well above the California state average, which means most of our customers here are long-term owners investing in property they plan to keep - not renters or short-term flips. That shapes what they ask for: durable work, done correctly, without having to chase anyone down afterward.
