Decorative Concrete in Diamond Bar CA - a look that fits your budget and upkeep
Plain gray slab looking tired? We add color, texture or a stamped pattern, and plan the joints to suit the pattern.
What goes into decorative concretefor a Diamond Bar home
Most people who call D&T Diamond Bar Concrete about decorative concrete in Diamond Bar, CA have a plain gray patio or walk they're tired of looking at. Decorative concrete adds color, a stain, a stamped pattern or exposed stone, and we do this work here and in the cities around it.
Price comes down to the area's size, local rates and the design, since one stamped pattern in one color costs less and is easier to keep up than several colors, borders and inlays. The schedule turns on the city's permit answer, tearing out any old concrete and curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens before you use it.
Before you pick a look, I show you where the control joints, the cuts that give a slab a planned place to crack, will fall in that pattern. They can sometimes hide in grout lines that run parallel but stand out in random designs. I'll also tell you which finishes take more upkeep down the road.
Your estimate gives you the price, and you'll know the upkeep and joint layout before anything gets poured, so call (909) 760-1399.
Decorative concrete finishes for your yard and floors
I match the technique to where it's going and how much upkeep you want, from a backyard patio to a front walk, and we can carry the color onto concrete retaining walls too.
Stamped patterns
We press textured mats into the concrete while it's still soft, so the surface picks up a stone, brick or slate pattern, then seal it to protect the color.
Color and stains
We can mix color through the whole batch, work a color hardener into the top or apply a chemical stain later, and I'll help you weigh how each one wears.
Exposed aggregate and polishing
Exposed aggregate washes off the top layer so the stone in the mix shows and gives good footing outside. Indoors, we polish slabs as part of concrete floor installation.

The pour and the finish
I'm on site with our crew for the pour, the color and the pattern, and we cut the control joints in time, before the slab picks its own crack lines.

Decorative concrete questions
How much does stamped concrete cost near Diamond Bar?
Stamped concrete in the Los Angeles area usually runs about $15 to $30 per square foot, according to a Los Angeles cost guide. That's the going rate for stamped work in the region, not our price, and simpler designs tend to land lower. Your estimate gives you the number for your own slab.
How long does decorative concrete last?
A Los Angeles patio cost guide puts the average life of decorative concrete at 30 to 50 years, the same as plain concrete. So you're not giving up years for the look, though the base under it matters as much as the finish on top.
How do I take care of stamped concrete, and how often does it need resealing?
Reseal it about every two to three years, according to a Los Angeles cost guide, and keep the care focused on protecting the surface from sun and wear. Plan on resealing as a regular cost of keeping the finish, which is part of why I go over upkeep before you choose a look.
Who can do concrete work in California?
A licensed concrete contractor, since the state's concrete license covers forming, pouring, placing, finishing and installing flat, pavement and other concrete work. Under the state licensing board's rules, a landscaping contractor can also take the concrete on its own contract when it's part of landscape work that improves the grounds around a building. Either way, ask which license a contractor holds before the pour.
What causes cracks in decorative concrete, and can they be prevented?
Concrete cracks as it shrinks and moves, and reinforcement won't stop that, but a contractors' association notes the right amount keeps random cracks from opening wide, so they show less. Rebar, steel set inside the slab, is one way to reinforce it, and the packed base and planned joints do the rest of the work.
Do I need a permit for decorative concrete in Diamond Bar?
That's the city's call, because Diamond Bar requires permits to build, change, remove or repair structures, and its list names things like fences, fireplaces and signs but not decorative concrete. We check with the city's building office before we set a date and handle the paperwork with you if a permit is needed. A dumpster in the street needs an encroachment permit from the city, one on your driveway doesn't, and the hauler, Valley Vista Services, can't place one on a sloped driveway.
