Prostone Ventura Concrete serves Simi Valley homeowners with garage floors, driveways, patios, and foundations - licensed and responding within one business day. We have worked across the city's ranch-style neighborhoods and know what Simi Valley soils and summers demand from a concrete slab.
Most Simi Valley homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s with attached two-car garages - and a lot of those original garage floors are now cracked, pitted, or hollow in spots from decades of clay soil movement and summer heat cycles. We pour new slabs with the right base preparation and reinforcement for this city's conditions, and seal the surface against oil and UV wear. Learn more about our garage floor concrete service and what a proper replacement involves.
Ranch-style homes throughout Simi Valley have wide concrete driveways that take daily vehicle loads, hot summers, and occasional frost through winter nights. Original driveways from the city's 1960s and 1970s building boom are now reaching the end of their useful life - we replace them with properly reinforced slabs built to current City of Simi Valley standards and graded to drain away from the garage door.
Simi Valley's warm inland climate makes the backyard livable for most of the year, and a solid concrete patio gives you a base for outdoor furniture, a grill, or a covered patio structure that handles the summer heat without warping or shifting. We grade every pour to keep water moving away from the foundation, which matters on older Simi Valley lots where drainage was not always done right the first time.
Homes in the hillside neighborhoods on the north end of Simi Valley - and properties that back up to the Santa Susana Mountains - deal with sloped lots and soil pressure that flat-yard homes never face. A properly built concrete retaining wall holds that slope in place and stops erosion from washing out your landscaping after winter rains or wind events.
Many Simi Valley homeowners are investing in their homes before listing - and decorative concrete finishes on a driveway or backyard patio can meaningfully improve curb appeal in a competitive market. Stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, and colored finishes are all options we can work into a new pour, without the maintenance and weed problems that come with pavers.
Simi Valley's inland valley location sets it apart from coastal Ventura County cities in one important way for concrete: summer heat. Temperatures regularly reach the mid-90s and occasionally top 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which means fresh concrete can dry out at the surface before it cures properly if a contractor does not manage the pour correctly. That same intense heat, sustained over months, breaks down unsealed concrete surfaces faster than in cooler climates - garage floors, driveways, and patios that go without sealing for a few years in Simi Valley develop pitting and surface wear that would take a decade to show up in a milder environment. Base preparation matters just as much here because much of the city sits on clay-heavy soils that expand during the winter rains and contract over the long dry season, slowly grinding away at slabs that were not properly stabilized underneath.
The wildfire risk that surrounds Simi Valley also plays a role in concrete maintenance. Ash and debris from nearby fires settle on outdoor surfaces and work into the pores of unsealed concrete, causing chemical damage and making cleanup difficult. Homes near the open hillsides on the north and east edges of the city are most exposed. Santa Ana wind events - which roll through Ventura County in fall - can gust hard enough to shift fence posts and roofing materials, and the same pressure puts stress on retaining walls and outdoor slabs near hillsides. A contractor who understands these conditions builds with them in mind from the first shovel to the final seal coat.
We pull permits through the City of Simi Valley Community Development Department and work across the city's neighborhoods - from the older ranch homes near Simi Valley Town Center and the 118 Freeway corridor to the newer master-planned community of Wood Ranch on the east side. The city incorporated in 1969 and built out fast, which means most of its housing stock is from a single 20-to-30-year window. That consistency makes it easier to know what to expect on site.
Ranch-style homes in Simi Valley almost always have stucco exteriors and attached two-car garages - so garage floor work and driveway replacements are two of the most common jobs we do here. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library sits on a hilltop in the city's western hills, and the neighborhoods between there and Wood Ranch represent a wide range of lot sizes and terrain. Whether a property is on a flat valley street or a sloped lot near the hills, we know the soil and drainage characteristics that affect the work.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Malibu to the south and regularly work in the communities along the 118 corridor that connects Simi Valley to Thousand Oaks and the rest of western Ventura County.
When you call or message us, we respond within one business day and schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you. Most Simi Valley homeowners are away during the day - we work around your schedule and do not require you to be home for the initial look.
We look at the existing surface or site conditions, check the soil and drainage situation, and give you a written quote that breaks down what is included - demo, base prep, pour, permit, and finish. This is the right time to ask questions about your options, because changing things after the pour is expensive.
We pull the required City of Simi Valley permit before any work begins - this adds a few days to the start date but puts the job on the books correctly. On prep day, we remove the old slab if needed, grade and compact the base, and set the forms. The pour happens in a single session for most residential projects.
Foot traffic is safe after 24 to 48 hours, but wait seven days before driving on a new slab. The city inspector signs off on the work, and we walk you through the finished project before we leave - covering the drainage slope, the sealing schedule, and any care instructions specific to Simi Valley's climate.
We serve Simi Valley homeowners with free on-site estimates and respond within one business day. No commitment required to get a written quote.
(805) 833-5370Simi Valley is a city of roughly 126,000 people in the eastern end of Ventura County, sitting in a valley ringed by the Santa Susana Mountains to the south and rolling hills on the other sides. The city incorporated in 1969 and grew quickly through large-scale tract development - most of its neighborhoods were built between the early 1960s and the late 1980s, which gives the city a cohesive suburban character. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, perched on a hilltop in the western part of the city, draws visitors from across the country and is one of the most recognized landmarks in the region. Wood Ranch on the east side represents a newer chapter of growth, with larger homes, a golf course, and a planned community feel distinct from the older ranch neighborhoods near the city center. You can learn more about Simi Valley's history and development through the Wikipedia article on Simi Valley.
The housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family and owner-occupied, with a higher homeownership rate than most of California. Stucco exteriors, attached garages, and modest-to-mid-sized lots on flat valley streets define most of the city's core neighborhoods - while hillside streets on the north and east edges have larger lots and more complex terrain. The 118 Freeway runs east-west through the center of the city, connecting residents to the San Fernando Valley for work commutes and to the rest of Ventura County to the west. Neighbors to the south include communities that flow toward Malibu, while the eastern corridor connects to Newbury Park and the Conejo Valley.
