Corona's Trusted Concrete Contractor — Foundations Built to Last
Foundations, driveways, patios, and flatwork across Corona. Over 30 years of experience. 100+ years of combined management expertise.
Corona has come a long way from its days as the Lemon Capital of the World. Today it’s one of the Inland Empire’s most established cities — a mix of newer master-planned communities in the south hills, established neighborhoods along Ontario Avenue and Magnolia, and a growing commercial corridor along the 91 freeway. All of it sits on concrete, and a lot of that concrete was poured by us.
PSU Concrete has been serving Corona homeowners, builders, and commercial developers for over 30 years. We’ve poured foundations for custom homes in Eagle Glen and Sierra Del Oro, replaced driveways in South Corona, built commercial slabs along Cajalco Road, and installed flatwork for projects across every part of this city. We know Corona’s soil, we know the building codes, and we deliver concrete work that holds up to the Inland Empire heat.
Concrete Services We Offer in Corona
Residential and Commercial Foundations
Corona’s growth hasn’t slowed down — new residential projects continue in the south hills, infill development is happening throughout established areas, and ADU construction is booming across the city. Every one of these projects starts with a foundation, and that’s our core specialty.
We pour slab-on-grade foundations, stem wall foundations, and post-tension slabs for residential and light commercial projects. Corona’s soil conditions — generally a mix of sandy loam and clay depending on the area — require proper compaction and moisture management. Lots in the south hills near Eagle Glen have different soil characteristics than properties along the Santa Ana River corridor. We adapt our approach for every site.
For ADU foundations, we’re handling more requests every year. Corona homeowners are adding backyard units throughout the city, especially in the established neighborhoods near downtown and along Ontario Avenue. We handle the complete foundation scope including grading and drainage.
Driveways
Corona summers regularly hit 100°F+, and the thermal cycling between scorching days and cool nights destroys poorly built concrete. As a driveway contractor in Corona, we build driveways designed for these conditions — proper thickness, correctly spaced control joints, and the right concrete mix for the application.
We see a lot of driveway replacements in Corona neighborhoods built during the 90s and 2000s boom — homes in Dos Lagos, Corona Ranch, and Mountain Gate where original driveways are cracking, spalling, or settling after 20+ years. We do it right the second time.
Pricing runs $7-$14 per square foot depending on size, finish, and whether we need to demo the existing surface.
Patios and Outdoor Living
Corona’s climate gives you 300+ days of usable outdoor weather. We build concrete patios in every style — broom finish, stamped patterns that mimic stone or tile, colored concrete, and exposed aggregate. Popular requests include stamped patios with integrated fire pit pads, pool deck extensions, and covered patio slabs designed to support alumawood or solid roof structures.
Flatwork
Commercial sidewalks, residential walkways, garage floors, warehouse slabs, and shop floors — we pour flatwork for every application across Corona. The commercial corridor along the 91 continues to expand, and we work with property developers and tenant improvement contractors to deliver clean, level concrete on schedule.
V-Ditches and Drainage
Properties in Corona’s hillier areas — particularly the south hills near Skyline Drive, Eagle Glen, and the areas above Green River Road — need proper drainage infrastructure. We pour V-ditches that channel storm water away from structures and prevent erosion that can compromise foundations and landscaping.
