Concrete Patio Contractor in the Inland Empire

Inland Empire lots run big — and a big backyard deserves a patio done right, not a thin slab that cracks in two summers. J. Ortega Concrete pours concrete patios across Riverside, San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, and the surrounding cities: 4-inch slabs, #3 rebar at 18 inches on center, graded to drain right.

From standard patio slabs to full backyard builds — outdoor kitchen islands, seat walls, fire pits, pool decks, and pool coping — we handle patios of any size.

Concrete Patio Services in the Inland Empire

Patio slabs — any size. Big-lot patios are our normal work out here. Plain broom-finish concrete, control joints cut clean, edges straight.
Patio tear-out and replacement. We break out the old cracked patio, haul it away, and pour new.
Outdoor kitchen and BBQ islands. Concrete block islands with poured concrete countertops, built to hold your grill, fridge, and storage.
Seat walls and fire pits. Built-in concrete seating and fire pit areas that turn a slab into a backyard people actually use.
Pool decks and pool coping. New coping and deck flatwork around the pool, tied into the patio so the whole yard flows.
Decorative finishes. Stamped, colored, acid washed, sand washed, and exposed aggregate finishes — plus concrete stain and sealer.

Concrete Patio FAQs — Inland Empire

How much does a concrete patio cost in the Inland Empire?

It depends on size, thickness, site access, and whether old concrete has to come out first. Bigger lots usually mean bigger patios — call (626) 404-8582 for a free on-site estimate and a firm number.

Our backyard is big — do you handle large patios?

Yes. Large slabs are common out here and we're set up for them — including proper control joint layout so a big patio doesn't turn into a big cracked patio.

Does the heat affect the pour?

Inland Empire summers are no joke. We schedule pours to avoid peak heat and cure the concrete properly so it gains full strength instead of drying out too fast.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

Four inches is the standard for a residential patio. If the slab will carry heavy loads — like an outdoor kitchen island — we pour thicker and add rebar.

Do you do pool decks and coping?

Yes — pool decks, new pool coping, and the patio areas around them, all tied together so the yard flows as one job.
