Concrete Work in Mission Hills, CA

Mission Hills (ZIP code 91345) sits in the northeastern San Fernando Valley between Sylmar and North Hills, bounded by the 118 Freeway to the north and the 405 to the east. The neighborhood is predominantly flat residential — single-family homes on standard lots, many built in the 1950s through 1970s — with streets like Sepulveda Boulevard, Haskell Avenue, and Nordhoff Street defining the grid. The flat terrain means most concrete work here is driveway replacements, flatwork, and patios rather than hillside retaining walls, though grade changes between street level and rear yards do occur. Mission Hills sits on expansive clay soils common throughout the northeastern San Fernando Valley, which makes proper subgrade prep and drainage critical for long-lasting flatwork.

Mission Hills's flat residential character means driveways, patios, and walkways are the dominant work — many homes have original 1950s–1970s concrete that is cracked, heaved, or settled and due for replacement. The expansive clay soils in this part of the San Fernando Valley require careful subgrade compaction and proper drainage details to prevent future movement. For the occasional sloped rear yard or raised foundation home, retaining walls and concrete steps are also common requests. The neighborhood's post-war housing stock also means many properties have undersized or deteriorated garage slabs that need replacement. Mission Hills falls under the City of Los Angeles for permits, and driveway approach work requires coordination with both LADBS and the Bureau of Engineering.
