Concrete services in Burbank, CA
Magnolia Park filled in with houses for returning veterans in the 1940s, and plenty of Burbank's driveways, walks and patios are decades old. So most jobs here are replacements: a single-car strip that cracked into pieces, a backyard slab that settled, a wall leaning on a hillside lot. New work fills in around it, from stamped patios in Magnolia Park to ADU slabs behind ranch houses and wash racks in the Rancho.

The front yard has a concrete budget. Burbank's zoning code lets hardscape cover no more than 45 percent of the required front setback, keeps driveway openings at the curb to 25 percent of the lot width, and wants a planted strip between a front walk and the driveway. A concrete driveway replacement that also widens is a zoning question first; the driveway approach permit guide covers the part in the street.
Walls have two height limits. A retaining wall needs a building permit once it passes 4 feet from the bottom of its footing, or sooner when a slope or driveway presses on it. Separately, walls inside the front setback stop at 30 inches, with no exceptions. The retaining wall contractor page and the Burbank concrete permits guide set it out, and the hillside streets above Sunset Canyon Drive, Bel Aire Drive and Kenneth Road have their own rules in concrete on Burbank hillside lots.
The ground is sand and gravel, not clay. USDA soil maps put most of the flats on Palmview and Tujunga soils, fan deposits that drain fast and barely swell. Slabs here fail from loose fill, washouts and roots more than from heaving clay. The Verdugo Fault, the one active fault inside the city, is why a concrete foundation or ADU foundation follows an engineer's plan. Details in Burbank soil, faults and flood map.
The sidewalk is yours to keep safe. Under Burbank Municipal Code 7-3-501 the property owner has to keep the sidewalk, parkway and driveway apron out front from endangering anyone, and any cut gets replaced to the nearest score line in panels at least 5 by 5 feet. See Burbank sidewalk repair and street trees and curb, gutter and sidewalk work.

Name, phone, address and the job. Rough sizes help ("two-car driveway, about 18 by 40", "back patio, 12 by 20"), and so does a note if the yard slopes, the slab touches the sidewalk, or the only way in is a side gate.

How a Burbank concrete job runs
A backyard patio, a stamped concrete walk and a pad for an AC unit or shed follow the same five steps. Walls and foundations add engineering and City inspections; a cracked slab that is still sound may only need concrete repair.
- 1Walk the site
Measure the area, note the slope and where the truck can park, and check whether the work reaches the apron, the sidewalk, a parkway tree or the hillside area. That decides which City counter is involved.
- 2Break out and haul
The old concrete is saw-cut at a clean line, broken up and hauled off. In the street, the cut follows the nearest score line, because Burbank wants whole sidewalk panels back.
- 3Shape the base
The subgrade is graded to shed water away from the house and garage, then gravel base goes down and is compacted. On Burbank's sandy valley soils this step matters more than anything poured on top.
- 4Set forms and steel
Forms fix the edges and finished height, and #4 rebar sits on chairs at 18-inch centers, the Los Angeles standard, so the steel ends up inside the slab. Permitted walls and footings get a City inspection before the pour.
- 5Pour, finish, cure
Concrete is placed, struck off and finished in broom, a stamped pattern or exposed aggregate, with joints tooled or sawn. Curing compound keeps the surface from drying out in the Valley heat.
Burbank, the Rancho and Toluca Lake
The work is across Burbank: the veterans' bungalows of Magnolia Park under the airport flight path, the blocks around downtown and the Media District, and the steep streets toward Wildwood and Stough Canyons. In the Burbank Rancho, the R-1-H horsekeeping zone, the jobs are stable floors, wash racks and pads behind the house.
Next door, Toluca Lake is split: most of it sits in the City of Los Angeles, which handles its permits, while the east edge is Burbank. Each page says which office handles which part. Full service area

About Burbank Concrete Pros
Burbank Concrete Pros is a concrete company for Burbank homes and businesses: the driveway in front of a postwar bungalow, the wall holding a hillside yard in place, the slab under a new ADU, the walk and ramp outside a studio office. Asphalt, paver-only work, slab lifting and seismic bolting are other trades, so they aren't offered here.

Concrete Contractor in Burbank: Common Questions
What does a concrete contractor cost in Burbank, CA?
A plain reinforced driveway on a flat Burbank lot runs about $9 to $13 per square foot installed. That is the Glendale and Burbank row in constructlytools' Los Angeles cost guide (updated May 19, 2026), for a 500 square foot slab. Stamped or colored work is $12 to $20, pool decks $15 to $20 and house foundations $15 to $25 per square foot in the same guide; retaining walls are priced per square foot of wall face. Hauling the old slab away adds $1.40 to $2.30 per square foot, and quotes vary by site.
Is this Burbank, California or Burbank, Illinois?
Burbank, California: the Los Angeles County city in the eastern San Fernando Valley, below the Verdugo Mountains and next to Toluca Lake and Griffith Park. Every code section, permit office and price on this site is Californian and specific to Burbank or the Los Angeles area.
Does a Burbank driveway or patio need a permit?
Usually not for the slab on your own lot. Burbank's 2025 permit-exemption handout covers driveways and walks no more than 30 inches above the ground, not over a basement and not part of an accessible route. The apron, curb and sidewalk in the street are another matter: they need a Public Works excavation permit from the counter at 150 North Third Street (818-238-3950).
How much of a Burbank front yard can be concrete?
Up to 45 percent of the required front setback, counting concrete, asphalt, brick and pavers together (BMC 10-1-603). Circular drives are allowed only on lots at least 100 feet wide; the driveway page covers curb-opening limits.
When is the best time of year to pour concrete in Burbank?
Spring and fall are the easiest. Burbank's airport station averages 53.9 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, which dries a fresh slab too fast unless it's poured early and cured carefully. Most of the 13.91 inches of yearly rain falls from December through March, so winter pours are planned around storms. Summer pours still work with early starts and curing compound.
Does Burbank Concrete Pros lift sunken slabs, lay pavers or pave asphalt?
No. Slab lifting (mudjacking or foam), paver-only patios, asphalt and seismic bolting are separate trades. Burbank Concrete Pros pours new concrete, replaces broken sections, and repairs or resurfaces concrete that is still sound underneath.
