Fullerton concrete work, learned on a city crew
R&S Fullerton Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor based in Fullerton, CA, licensed and fully insured. I started it in 2020 after learning the trade on a city public works crew, pouring sidewalk, curb and driveway aprons day after day. We now handle 16 kinds of concrete work for homeowners and property owners, and we're best known for driveways, sidewalks and any job where a private lot meets the street. You can read more about who we are and how we work.
Concrete work we do in Fullerton
We pour flatwork, the slabs you drive and walk on, plus walls, steps and foundations. Size, tear-out and finish set the price, while any city permit and curing, the wait before you can use it, set the schedule, and your written estimate spells out yours.
A new driveway from the street apron to the garage, with the ground dug out and packed first. Choose a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip, or colored borders.
A backyard slab for chairs and a grill, sloped so rain runs away from your house. A plain broom finish keeps cost down, and stamping or color dresses it up.
Patterns that look like stone, brick or slate, pressed into patios, walks and pool decks. You pick pattern and color, and a reseal now and then keeps it looking right.
Front walks, side-yard paths and the walk at the street, the work I learned on a city crew. Where a job touches the public walk, we deal with the city.
A new garage slab built for cars, tools and storage, poured over a dug-out, packed base. Ask for a smoother finish if you plan to coat or seal it later.
Color, exposed stone, scored lines and custom borders that make a slab match your house. Keep it subtle with a colored border or take the look across the whole surface.
Concrete walls that hold back a slope and give you flat yard. We set them on a footing with drainage behind, since trapped water is what pushes walls over.
Floors for shops, additions and commercial spaces, poured flat so racks and flooring sit right. Tell us what goes on top, since tile, coating or bare concrete want different finishes.
The slab around your pool, with a textured finish for bare feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool. Lighter colors usually stay cooler underfoot.
Front and back steps formed with even risers so they're easy to climb, tied to the walk or porch with rebar, the steel that holds the pieces together.
The slab an addition, garage or backyard unit sits on, poured over packed ground. Fullerton's building rules account for earthquakes, so your plans set the steel and we build to them.
Foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings, either a slab or a perimeter footing with walls under a raised floor. Your plans decide which, and we build it as drawn.
Lots and drive aisles for shops, offices and apartments, sloped to drain and built heavier where trucks turn. Doing the work in sections can keep part of the lot open.
The buried concrete under block walls, patio covers, posts and additions that spreads their weight into firm ground. Size comes from your plans, and we dig and set steel to match.
Lifting a sunken slab or settled foundation back toward level. We look for why it sank first, because raising it without fixing the cause usually just buys time.
Saw cuts to open a slab for plumbing, widen a driveway or take out a damaged section. A straight, clean cut lets new concrete butt neatly against the old.

What finished concrete can look like
Common concrete questions in Fullerton
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Fullerton?
Some concrete jobs do. The City of Fullerton's Building Division generally requires permits for work like patios, retaining walls, pools and additions, and nothing can be built until the permit is issued. When a job needs one, we pull it ourselves and keep you posted, and if we're not sure what the city wants, we ask before we price it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
It may crack a little over time, since most concrete does, but it shouldn't crack like a slab poured on raked dirt with no joints. We dig out and pack the base, and we cut control joints on time so cracks follow straight lines we chose. If the budget's tight, cut back on the finish, not the base.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
You can usually walk on it well before you can drive on it, because concrete keeps getting stronger while it cures. The wait depends on the weather and the slab, so I'll tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for tires. We also plan pours around midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.
Do you do concrete work outside Fullerton, like Anaheim or Brea?
Yes. We're based in Fullerton and work in the cities around it, including Anaheim, Brea, Placentia and La Habra. Those are some of the cities with their own page here, and we go well beyond them, so call (657) 354-1060 and tell us where the job is.
