Construction Services in Upland, CA
What We Build Here
Three CSLB classifications under one roof — general building, landscape and site work, and swimming pools. North of Foothill the excavation decides the budget, so it is worth having one contractor who owns all three scopes.
Concrete, Retaining Walls & Drainage
Foundations, driveways, flatwork and retaining, with excavation priced from test holes because of what the fan puts in the ground. Concrete and drainage →
Swimming Pool Construction & Remodel
New gunite pools, replaster and tile, deck replacement and equipment upgrades, including pools well past their original equipment life. Pool construction and remodel →
Patio Covers & Hardscape
Shade structures, alumawood and solid-roof covers, outdoor kitchens and hardscape rated for the wind that comes down out of the canyons.
What We Design For
Conditions Particular To Upland, CA
San Antonio Creek Fan Cobble
North Upland sits on the wash below San Antonio Canyon. Cobble and boulders in footing and pool excavation are the rule here, not the exception, and they drive cost more than anything else on the job.
Real Grade Toward San Antonio Heights
The ground climbs steadily north of Foothill. Retaining and drainage get designed together, and the historic flow path off the fan has to be respected rather than paved across.
Citrus-Era Stock Downtown
The older Euclid Avenue neighbourhoods carry 1910s and 1920s framing, original footings and dated panels, plus abandoned irrigation from the grove era turning up in excavation.
Canyon Wind
San Antonio Canyon funnels wind straight down over north Upland. Patio covers and shade structures get uplift-rated hardware, not the minimum that passes elsewhere.
