Upland sits on some of the trickiest ground in the Victor Valley, and your concrete knows it. North of Foothill Boulevard, older homes rest on cobbly alluvial fans; below Mount Baldy, newer tracts face the same challenge: sandy, granitic soil with caliche layers and loose fill that settles when water hits it. Wide driveways, pool decks, and RV slabs crack, heave, and sink faster here than anywhere else.
That's why homeowners in Upland (91786) call Victorville Concrete. We've spent years working this exact terrain, from the 1940s cottages along the old Route 66 corridor to the 1990s and 2000s tract homes spreading across Eagle Ranch and Baldy Mesa. We know how to build concrete that stays put in the Mojave Desert, and we know how to fix it when the ground beneath shifts.
Concrete in Upland (91786)
Upland's alluvial fan soil is the core issue. Your ground is sandy decomposed granite with hard caliche layers and collapsible fill. When a broken irrigation line or heavy monsoon runoff soaks that fill, it settles, and your driveway, patio, or pool deck follows. We don't just pour concrete; we manage the sub-base, compact the soil properly, and install control joints that let the slab move without cracking. We also know that Upland summers push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit with intense UV and low humidity that flash-dry fresh concrete, and winter nights drop below freezing. We time our pours and cure procedures to handle both extremes.
Our team has served Upland and the surrounding Victorville area for years. We've leveled sunken driveways before they became trip hazards, resurfaced cracked pool decks, and built RV pads and side-yard slabs that stay flat. We pull permits with the City of Upland, respect HOA rules, and coordinate with property line issues so you stay clear of neighbors and code enforcement.

How a Job Works in Upland
First, we come to you for a free on-site assessment. We look at the ground, check for drainage problems, measure the space, and ask about your timeline and budget. If your driveway is sinking or your patio is cracked, we diagnose whether it's a repair, resurfacing, or a full replacement. We also flag any permit requirements upfront, so there are no surprises with the City of Upland.
Next, we prepare the site. That means removing old concrete if needed, compacting the sub-base to spec, and laying proper drainage so water doesn't pool under your new slab. In Upland, this step makes or breaks the job. We set control joints to manage the desert heat and cold, and we pour and finish to your specs: smooth garage floor, broom finish for traction on a walkway, or decorative stamped concrete if you want curb appeal. We work around tight lot access and coordinate with your HOA if you're in a tract home area.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through the finished work. We leave your property as we found it, minus the cracked or sunken concrete. We also discuss sealing options to protect your investment from desert UV and blowing sand.
Pricing in Upland depends on size, site access, existing condition, and how fast you need it done. A typical driveway runs from $6 per square foot for standard concrete; a pool deck is around $8 per square foot; stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot. If you're repairing or resurfacing existing concrete, we can often do it from $3 to $4 per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which is common here because of settlement, runs from $4 per square foot. Sealing to protect against desert sun and wind is around $0.75 per square foot and extends the life of your concrete by years. The biggest cost factors are square footage, soil prep (especially critical in Upland), and whether we're working around obstacles or tight spaces.
