M&M Concrete Inc. · Licensed C-8 #1141877 · Inland Empire
Concrete flatwork for homes, businesses and public works
Driveways, sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA ramps, patios and slabs across San Bernardino and the Inland Empire.
From tear-out to broom finish, M&M Concrete does the whole flatwork job with our own crew and our own machines. We demo the old surface, grade and compact the base, set forms and rebar, pour, finish and saw-cut the joints. No handoffs between companies and no one pointing fingers when something does not line up.
We pour for homeowners, property managers and general contractors: residential driveways and patios, commercial approaches and sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA ramps with detectable warning domes, dumpster pads and equipment slabs.

Driveways and residential flatwork
A driveway is the concrete people see every day, so it has to be flat, drain the right way and stay that way. We pour 4 inches minimum on compacted base, with rebar or fiber as the job calls for, control joints cut on a real layout, and a broom finish that gives traction without looking rough.
We do plain, clean residential work: driveways, walkways, patios, backyard slabs and steps. If you want stamped or colored decorative concrete, we are honest that it is not our focus, and we will tell you that on the phone.
Commercial sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA ramps
Approaches, sidewalks, curb and gutter and ADA ramps are built to each city's standard drawings and to the current accessibility code: running slope, cross slope, landing size and truncated domes. We form to the string line, pour to grade and are on site for the inspection.
For property managers and GCs we handle parking lot slabs, dumpster enclosure pads, bollard footings and trench patch-backs, and we run prevailing-wage public works with certified payroll.
Base prep is the part you never see, so we do it right
Most concrete failures are base failures. We remove soft soil, bring in and compact base rock where it is needed, and set grade with a laser so water runs where it should. Then the concrete has something solid to sit on for the next 30 years.
Concrete flatwork jobs we have done
Questions we get asked
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. M&M Concrete Inc. holds a California C-8 concrete contractor license, CSLB #1141877, and is registered with the DIR (#2000016629) for prevailing-wage public work. We carry $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate general liability plus a $2M umbrella, and we can add your project as additional insured before we start. You can check the license yourself on the CSLB website.
How thick should my driveway or patio be?
Four inches is the standard for a residential driveway, patio or walkway on a compacted base. If the driveway carries an RV, a box truck or a dump truck we go to 5 or 6 inches with rebar. Commercial approaches and city sidewalks follow the local standard drawing, which is usually 6 inches. We tell you the thickness in writing on the quote.
How long does a concrete driveway take to cure?
You can walk on it the next day. Keep cars off it for 7 days, and keep heavy trucks off it for 28 days, which is when concrete reaches its design strength. We saw the control joints the day after the pour so the slab cracks where we want it to instead of where it wants to.
Can it be too hot or too cold to pour concrete?
Yes. Above about 90°F the surface can dry faster than we can finish it, so in summer we pour early, keep the mix cool and cure the slab with water or curing compound. Below 40°F the concrete gains strength slowly and can be damaged by a freeze, which is rare here but does happen in Victorville and Hesperia in winter. We schedule around the forecast rather than fight it.
Do you remove the old concrete, or do I need someone else for that?
We remove it. Demolition, haul-off and the new pour are one job with one crew and one number. See our demolition page for how we handle tear-outs and tight access.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway or patio?
Usually not for replacing a patio or driveway in the same footprint. You typically do need one if you are adding a new approach where the driveway meets the street, widening into the public right of way, or changing drainage. Cities handle the approach differently and some require an encroachment permit for that piece specifically. We work in San Bernardino, Riverside, Fontana, Rialto, Colton and the surrounding cities constantly, and we will tell you upfront whether your job needs one.
