Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Loma Linda
A paver driveway in Loma Linda typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, while a concrete driveway installation falls between $4,500 and $12,000. Most Loma Linda homeowners see their existing driveway fail in one of two ways: surface cracking from the Inland Empire’s brutal summer heat cycles, or settling near the edges where the sandy loam soil shifts during winter rains. We’ve torn out enough failed driveways in the 92350, 92354, and 92357 zip codes to know exactly what’s underground before we ever put a shovel in. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at yours.
Barrett & Sons Construction has been putting driveways and patios into Inland Empire homes since 1998. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, and when we say we’ll be on your street in Loma Linda on a Tuesday, we mean it. You’ll see the same faces on the job that you shook hands with at the estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Loma Linda’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Loma Linda isn’t like Redlands or Colton. It’s a university town with a working medical center at its heart, and the homes reflect that: a tight mix of post-WWII ranch houses near the campus, mid-century bungalows along the older streets, and tract developments from the 1980s and 90s on the edges. Each one of those eras came with its own concrete problems. The 1950s driveways we see near the Loma Linda University Medical Center were poured thin, without rebar, and decades of ambulance traffic and university shuttles have taken their toll. The older homes built for hospital staff carry deferred maintenance because someone was always on call, and a cracked driveway was never the top priority. We get that. Our job is to make it right now.
We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day. You won’t get a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. You call (877) 610-1318, and a live person picks up. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. We’ve been doing this for over 29 years, and we stand behind every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not tucked into fine print.
One more thing that matters in Loma Linda specifically: we know the local rhythm. The Seventh-day Adventist community here observes the Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, and a practicing local contractor knows not to schedule loud exterior work or site deliveries on Saturday. We plan our Loma Linda paver and concrete work around Sunday-heavy scheduling. It’s a small thing, but it’s the kind of thing you only learn by being here, not by dispatching crews from somewhere else. And every eligible job we do in Loma Linda gets its permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him on the job.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Loma Linda
Our Driveway & Pavers work in Loma Linda covers everything from a fresh paver driveway on a new lot to a full replacement of a cracked concrete slab on a 1950s ranch. Here’s what we do most often:
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Loma Linda runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver style, and how much prep work the base needs. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers because those are brands you can look up, not mystery material off a van. Pavers handle Inland Empire heat better than solid concrete in one key way: individual units can shift slightly without cracking the whole surface. That matters when summer temperatures over 105°F are a regular thing and the ground under your driveway expands and contracts every year.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Loma Linda runs $4,500 to $12,000. The big thing here is the pour. Loma Linda sits in the basin where summer heat and Santa Ana winds pull moisture out of fresh concrete fast, and that’s exactly how you get surface cracking and weak edges. We use aggressive curing protocols on every pour: wet curing, curing blankets, and timing the pour around the heat, not the calendar. If a contractor tells you he’ll pour at 2 p.m. in August and it’ll be fine, call someone else.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Loma Linda runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a new residential driveway, and resurfacing lands lower. Asphalt works well on the flatter lots near the university, but it needs sealing every two to three years in this climate or the surface oxidizes and starts to ravel. We handle both the initial paving and the ongoing sealing, and we’ll tell you up front what the maintenance schedule looks like before you commit to asphalt over concrete or pavers.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Loma Linda runs $5,000 to $14,000. A lot of what we see is concrete that’s past saving: spider-webbing across the surface, sections that have sunk two inches at the joints, edges that crumble when you roll a trash bin over them. When we replace a driveway in Loma Linda, we pull the permit, demo the old slab, properly grade and compact the base, and pour or set the new surface to current California CBC standards. Seismic detailing is not optional here. We’re close to the San Jacinto and San Andreas fault systems, and even residential concrete work should be reinforced with that in mind.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loma Linda
We stock Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for our Loma Linda paver projects because we’ve put them through enough Inland Empire summers to know they hold up. For concrete work, we use Quikrete products and mix to spec, not by guess. If you’re looking at a specific paver line or finish, we’ll bring samples to your home in Loma Linda so you can see what it looks like against your actual stucco and landscape, not against a showroom wall. That’s how you know what you’re actually buying.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Loma Linda Homes
- Alligator cracking from heat cycles. Loma Linda’s summer temps routinely exceed 105°F, and those heat cycles expand and contract concrete every single year. The result is the fine, interconnected cracking pattern we see on driveways all over the 92354 zip code. It starts cosmetic, but water gets in, and it fails structurally from there.
- Edge settling along the slab perimeter. The sandy loam soil common around Loma Linda shifts with winter moisture, and driveway edges sink where the base was never properly compacted. We see this on 1980s and 90s tract homes on the city’s edges more than anywhere else.
- Thin, unreinforced slabs on older homes. A lot of the post-WWII ranch houses near Loma Linda University were built fast and cheap, and the driveways were poured without rebar or wire mesh. Fifty years later, they crack in long, straight lines and can’t be repaired with patching alone. Replacement is the honest answer.
- Paver growth and weed intrusion. Loma Linda’s winter rains and warm springs make weeds aggressive in paver joints if polymeric sand wasn’t used or wasn’t maintained. We see homeowners with pavers installed by someone else dealing with this constantly. Proper joint sand and an occasional reapplication keeps it under control.
