We’ve been installing and replacing driveways across Pomona since 2007, and the pattern we see is predictable: homeowners who bought between 2015 and 2025 are now facing the first major surface failure of their property’s original hardscape. The clay-heavy soils in north Pomona, particularly around Phillips Ranch and the foothill zones near Ganesha Hills, expand and contract with seasonal moisture more aggressively than most buyers expect. That movement cracks concrete, shifts pavers, and creates the low spots where water pools after every winter storm. We’ve delivered over 4,000 projects, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, your quote is flat, itemized, and binding - no change proceeds without a signed change order, which is why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed number.

What Our Driveway & Pavers Service Includes

Paver Driveways

Paver driveways use interlocking concrete, brick, or stone units set on a compacted aggregate base with sand bedding, allowing individual sections to be lifted and replaced without tearing out the whole surface. In Pomona, we recommend pavers for homeowners dealing with root intrusion from mature camphor or ficus trees, or those in hillside neighborhoods where ground movement is constant. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems with a 6-inch minimum compacted base, geotextile fabric separation, and edge restraints anchored in concrete - the spec we write into every quote so there’s no ambiguity about what’s underground.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveways are poured-in-place slabs, typically 4 inches thick for residential vehicles, reinforced with rebar or wire mesh and control-jointed to manage shrinkage cracking. Pomona’s inland heat and Santa Ana wind cycles accelerate surface evaporation during cure, so we schedule pours for early morning and use evaporation retarders when temperatures exceed 85°F - a detail that prevents the crazing and scale patterns we see on too many two-year-old driveways in the Lincoln Park and Mayfair areas. Every concrete quote specifies the PSI mix, reinforcement type, and joint spacing; you get that in writing before anyone arrives with a mixer.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt is a petroleum-based flexible pavement, hot-mixed and compacted in lifts, that handles ground movement better than rigid concrete but requires periodic sealcoating to prevent oxidation and water intrusion. Resurfacing, or an asphalt overlay, adds 1.5-2 inches of new material over a structurally sound existing base - viable when the subgrade is stable and drainage is adequate. In Pomona’s older neighborhoods near downtown and the Village, we frequently find original asphalt over inadequate base depths; we test with core samples before quoting overlay versus full replacement, and we show you the cores. Under The Haven Standard, we don’t quote work on a substrate we haven’t evaluated.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Repair addresses isolated failures - slab replacement, pothole patching, paver releveling, or crack sealing - while replacement removes the entire surface and base to address systemic drainage, grade, or structural issues. For Driveway & Pavers - Montclair and nearby areas, Pomona’s 1940s-1970s housing stock concentrated west of Garey Avenue and south of the 10 Freeway often sits on driveways with no subdrainage and reverse grading toward the garage. We document the existing slope with laser level readings, photograph the excavation at base depth, and specify the correction in the written scope. Replacement runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on square footage, base reconstruction needs, and surface material selected.

Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks

These are horizontal hardscape surfaces using the same material families as driveways but with different load requirements, slip-resistance standards, and aesthetic priorities. Pool decks in Pomona’s newer construction near the Puddingstone Reservoir area and south toward our Driveway & Pavers in Diamond Bar require cool-footing surfaces and proper expansion joints to accommodate the thermal cycling of surrounding coping and shell. We install paver patios with permeable joint sand for drainage compliance in hillside zones, and we specify the freeze-thaw rating on every paver - relevant for the occasional sub-32°F night in Pomona’s winter microclimates. Walkways get the same base preparation as driveways, just scaled to pedestrian loads and often with tighter joint patterns for visual rhythm.

Brick Paver Driveway

Brick pavers are clay-fired units, typically 4×8 inches, set in herringbone or basketweave patterns on a sand bed over aggregate base. The color range is narrower than concrete pavers - reds, browns, charcoals - but the material doesn’t fade and individual units can be salvaged decades later. In Pomona’s historic districts and the craftsman-influenced neighborhoods near Cal Poly Pomona, brick pavers match the architectural context more honestly than stamped concrete imitations. We source from Pacific Clay and similar domestic manufacturers, specify the ASTM C902 pedestrian or light traffic grade, and write the edge restraint type into the quote - steel, aluminum, or concrete, depending on the aesthetic and load.

Stamped Concrete Driveway

Stamped concrete is poured concrete textured with polyurethane mats to resemble stone, slate, brick, or wood, then colored with integral pigments and surface hardeners. The finish is continuous, so there are no weed-prone joints, but control joints must be cut through the pattern at calculated intervals to prevent random cracking. In Pomona, we see premature failure when stampers work in direct afternoon heat, trapping bleed water and creating a weak surface layer; our crews stamp between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in summer, and we specify the release agent type and sealer schedule in the written scope. Stamped concrete runs toward the upper end of the $4,500-$12,000 concrete range, with pattern complexity and color layering as the variables.

Driveway Sealing

Sealing is the application of a protective film - acrylic, epoxy, or penetrating silane/siloxane - to reduce water absorption, UV oxidation, and staining from oil or tire marks. Asphalt sealcoating uses coal-tar or asphalt-emulsion products, typically every 2-4 years; concrete and paver sealers last 3-5 years depending on traffic and sun exposure. In Pomona’s high-UV climate, we specify UV-stable acrylics for decorative concrete and breathable penetrating sealers for pavers to prevent efflorescence trapping. Driveway sealing costs $250-$700 for a typical two-car residential driveway, and we include the manufacturer’s data sheet in your project file so you know what was applied and when to reapply.

Brands We Service for Driveway & Pavers

We’ve installed Belgard pavers across more than 200 Pomona-area projects, from the permeable Subterra systems specified for hillside drainage compliance to the Catalina slate pattern popular in the Phillips Ranch planned community. Our crews are trained on Belgard’s exact base preparation and vibration plate specifications, and we maintain current technical bulletins for warranty registration. Techo-Bloc is our other primary paver partner - their Blu 80 and Villagio lines handle the heavier vehicle loads on driveways with steeper grades, common in the Ganesha Hills and north Pomona foothill zones, and their color consistency batch-to-batch means replacement units match five years later.

On the concrete side, we specify Quikrete and Sakrete commercial-grade mixes with documented PSI and air-entrainment values, and we source integral color from Davis Colors or L.M. Scofield for stamped work. For prefabricated structures that integrate with hardscape - pool houses, detached studios, storage - we’ve worked with Tuff Shed’s engineered wood buildings and can coordinate foundation and drainage tie-ins as part of the driveway or patio scope. Whether you have Belgard, Techo-Bloc, Tuff Shed, or any other make, we can help. Our material library includes samples from fifty-plus vetted brands, and the quote references the specific product number, not a generic description.

Signs You Need Driveway & Pavers Right Now

• Standing water more than 30 minutes after rain. Water that doesn’t sheet off or drain indicates reversed grading, settled substrate, or clogged drainage. In Pomona’s winter storm pattern, pooled water accelerates subbase erosion and can undermine garage foundations or seep into crawl spaces. We measure the slope with a laser level and specify the correction in our written estimate.
• Alligator cracking or spider web patterns in asphalt. These interconnected cracks signal base failure beneath the surface layer, not just aging asphalt. Overlaying without base reconstruction is temporary; we core-sample to determine whether structural repair or full replacement is warranted, and we show you the core before quoting.
• Paver sections that rock or sink under foot or tire. Individual paver movement means the bedding sand has washed out, the edge restraint has failed, or the base has settled. In Pomona’s freeze-thaw fringe zones near the foothills, this accelerates with winter moisture intrusion. We lift the affected area, recompact the base, and reinstall with fresh bedding - a repair we can often quote from photos.
• Concrete spalling or surface flaking. Spalling is the delamination of the surface paste layer, usually from freeze-thaw cycling, deicer chemical attack, or improper finishing that trapped bleed water. Once the protective cover is compromised, rebar corrosion accelerates. We sound the slab with a hammer to map the damage depth, then specify partial-depth repair, full replacement, or overlay options with the associated costs in writing.
• Visible oil saturation or chemical staining that won’t clean. Deep staining indicates the sealer has failed and the substrate is absorbing contaminants. Beyond aesthetics, saturated concrete or asphalt loses structural integrity faster. We test absorption rates and specify deep cleaning with resealing, or replacement if the contamination has penetrated to the rebar level.

Our Driveway & Pavers Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Site evaluation and measurement. We arrive with a laser level, digital measuring wheel, and camera. The crew documents existing slope, drainage patterns, utility locations, and any tree root or irrigation conflicts. You receive these photos within 24 hours as part of the standard documented photo record - included, not an upgrade.
2. 2
   Written quote with material specifications. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, we deliver a flat price with line-item material brands, quantities, and labor phases before any work starts. The quote includes the PSI mix for concrete, the paver pattern and color number, the base depth and compaction spec, and the sealer type and reapplication interval. No “call for pricing.” No ranges that shift later.
3. 3
   Permit research and utility clearance. For replacement work involving excavation below 12 inches, we verify permit requirements with Pomona Building & Safety and call USA North 811 for utility marking. The quote specifies who pulls the permit and schedules inspection - typically Rowan, with the permit cost itemized. You see the inspection sign-off card before final payment.
4. 4
   Execution with phase documentation. The crew photographs each phase: excavation depth with a tape measure in frame, base material before and after compaction, reinforcement placement, pour or installation, and final seal. These images go into your project file with date stamps. Background-checked, uniformed technicians; a live person answers calls 24/7 if you have questions during the work.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and warranty registration. We review the completed work against the written scope, verify drainage with a water test, and register any manufacturer warranties (Belgard, Techo-Bloc, etc.) in your name. The 365-Day Done Right Promise begins at completion: if it’s not done right, Rowan makes it right. The terms are printed, not asterisked.
