Cerritos Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Anaheim, CA, specializing in pool deck installation, driveway replacement, retaining walls for Anaheim Hills hillside properties, and patio construction on the city's postwar tract homes. We respond to all Anaheim inquiries within one business day and provide free on-site estimates.
Anaheim covers about 50 square miles and includes two distinct housing zones - the postwar flatland neighborhoods in central and west Anaheim with single-story ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s, and the hillside community of Anaheim Hills in the east with larger two-story homes on sloped lots. The concrete needs in each zone are different. Flatland homes need driveway and patio replacement and pool deck repairs. Hillside homes often add retaining walls and drainage-related concrete work. Here is what we handle most often across both parts of Anaheim.
Anaheim's warm climate means pools are common across the city, and pool deck concrete that was poured 20 to 40 years ago is often cracked, uneven, and slippery. We remove old decking and pour new concrete pool decks with the right drainage slope and surface texture for a wet environment, available in broom finish, exposed aggregate, or stamped designs.
Many of Anaheim's central and west Anaheim homes still have original driveway slabs from the 1950s through 1970s, and those slabs show the familiar cracking and heaving pattern that comes from decades of clay soil movement. We demolish failed driveways and pour new ones with proper base preparation and reinforcement appropriate for Anaheim's soil and climate conditions.
Anaheim Hills properties on sloped lots often have retaining walls that define terraced yard sections, and walls built in the 1970s through 1990s are beginning to show signs of drainage failure and movement. We build new concrete retaining walls for Anaheim Hills hillside lots with proper drainage provisions to handle the saturated soil loads that occur after heavy winter storms.
Backyard patios on Anaheim's ranch-style homes are the primary outdoor living space, and patios on older properties often have drainage problems that route water toward the foundation rather than away from it. We pour new patios with correct slope and adequate thickness to handle the soil movement common in Anaheim, giving the patio a realistic service life rather than a temporary fix.
Anaheim homeowners adding ADUs, detached garages, or workshop structures need new concrete slab foundations built for the city's soil conditions. The expansive clay found in parts of Anaheim requires appropriate base preparation and vapor barriers to prevent moisture migration through the slab - details that matter for habitable ADU spaces year-round.
Front entry and garden steps on Anaheim's older homes frequently crack and separate from adjacent walkways as the soil beneath them moves through wet-dry cycles. Steps on Anaheim Hills properties face additional stress from slopes and more pronounced soil saturation during heavy rains. We rebuild entry and yard steps with footings anchored below the active soil zone.
Anaheim is one of the largest cities in Orange County, and most of its residential housing was built between the late 1940s and the 1980s to house the families that moved into the region during Southern California's postwar expansion. Central and west Anaheim are filled with single-story ranch homes on slab foundations - stucco exteriors, attached garages, backyard pools on many lots. At 50 to 70 years old, the original concrete on these properties - driveways, patios, pool decks, and garage slabs - is operating well past its intended lifespan. Anaheim Hills, developed from the 1970s through the 1990s, is a newer and more varied housing zone, but hillside lots there create their own concrete demands: retaining walls, graded flatwork, and drainage management that flat-lot homes in the west do not need.
Expansive clay soils are a documented challenge in parts of Anaheim. According to the California Geological Survey, expansive soils cause more property damage annually in California than earthquakes, flooding, and landslides combined. In Anaheim, these soils expand during the winter rainy season and contract through the long, hot summer - a cycle that stresses every concrete surface in contact with the ground. For pool decks specifically, Anaheim's intense summer sun and UV exposure dry out and bleach surface concrete, making it more susceptible to cracking when soil movement occurs.
Our crew works throughout Anaheim regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The split between west and central Anaheim's flat postwar neighborhoods and the hillside Anaheim Hills community to the east means we approach jobs on different sides of the city with different expectations. Homes near Angel Stadium and the Anaheim Convention Center in the flatlands typically need driveway and pool deck work on level lots with clay soil concerns. Homes in Anaheim Hills, with their winding streets and tiered yard configurations, are more likely to need retaining walls or drainage-related concrete repairs. The City of Anaheim Building Division handles permits for structural and right-of-way concrete work, and we pull from their office regularly for jobs that require plan check.
Anaheim sits between several cities we also serve regularly. We work frequently in Buena Park to the northwest, where postwar housing stock and similar soil conditions create the same maintenance patterns we see across Anaheim. Our experience across these neighboring cities means we arrive at Anaheim jobs already familiar with what the local housing stock looks like and what typically goes wrong with concrete of that age and construction type.
Call or submit a request online describing your project - pool deck, driveway, retaining wall, patio, or other concrete work. We respond to all Anaheim inquiries within one business day.
We come to your Anaheim home to assess the existing concrete, measure the scope, and evaluate any site-specific factors - drainage slope, soil conditions on Anaheim Hills lots, access constraints. You receive a written estimate that documents exactly what is included and what the job requires.
For jobs in Anaheim that require a permit from the Building Division - right-of-way driveway approaches, retaining walls, or pool deck work attached to a permitted pool structure - we handle the permit process before scheduling the crew so there are no delays mid-project.
Our crew completes demolition, base preparation, forming, and pour in sequence to minimize the time your driveway or pool deck is out of service. We remove all debris when the work is done and walk you through the curing timeline before we leave.
We serve homeowners across all of Anaheim - from the flatland neighborhoods in the west to the hillside properties in Anaheim Hills. Free on-site estimates, no obligation.
Anaheim is one of the largest cities in Orange County, with roughly 350,000 residents spread across about 50 square miles. The city is organized into distinct zones that feel quite different from one another. The Resort District in west Anaheim - built around Disneyland, which has been here since 1955 - is heavily commercial, but the residential neighborhoods that surround it are quiet, family-oriented blocks of postwar ranch homes. Central Anaheim has a similar character: single-family homes on modest lots, mostly built from the 1950s through the 1970s, with stucco exteriors and slab foundations. According to Anaheim's Wikipedia article, much of the city's residential development was driven by the postwar boom that accompanied Disneyland's opening and the growth of the region's aerospace and manufacturing industries through the 1960s.
The eastern part of the city is a different story. Anaheim Hills was developed primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s on hilly terrain, and the homes there are larger, often two-story, and sit on lots with slopes, tiered yards, and retaining walls. The contrast in property types between west and east Anaheim means the concrete work we do varies significantly by location. Homeowners near Angel Stadium in the flatlands typically have pool decks and driveways that need replacement on level ground, while Anaheim Hills residents are more likely to need retaining wall repairs and graded flatwork. We also work regularly in Cerritos, just northwest of Anaheim, where the same postwar housing ages and concrete maintenance patterns are common.
