Overview
What we do for paving
Paving is the work in between the big jobs — the driveway apron at the curb, the walking path from the back gate to the trash bins, the parking pad for the boat trailer next to the garage. Smaller projects, but the prep matters just as much: skip the base compaction or the rebar and you've poured a slab that'll crack in two winters.
We handle these projects with the same crew, the same prep, and the same finish quality as a full driveway. They get the same warranty too.

Why Rose Concrete
Why hire us
Small paving jobs are where most contractors cut corners — skip the rebar, thin the slab, rush the cure. We don't, because the warranty has our name on it. Same crew, same standards, every pour.

Cost · Honest ranges
What does concrete paving cost?
Concrete flatwork from Rose Concrete starts at $17.22 per square foot for plain broom finish. Smaller pours (under ~400 sq ft) tend to be less labor-efficient than driveway-sized jobs, so per-sqft pricing on small work is at the higher end.
Slab thickness (4-inch standard, 6-inch for heavy loads), demo of the existing surface, base import if needed, permits if working in the right-of-way, and finish choice each shape the final number.
What affects cost:
- Square footage (smaller = higher per-sqft)
- Slab thickness (4-inch standard, 6-inch for heavy loads)
- Demo of existing surface (grass, pavers, gravel)
- Base import (poor existing soil)
- Permit if work is in the right-of-way
- Finish (broom is base; exposed aggregate adds)

What paving customers say
- ★★★★★
“Ronnie poured our 600-square-foot driveway in two days and didn't leave a speck of mud on the grass. Quoted exactly what he charged. Crew that showed up was the same crew Ronnie said would show up.”

“We hired three contractors before Rose. Only one who actually walked the yard, talked through drainage, and showed up the day he said he would. Patio looks like the listing photos.”
Mike R. · Bonita · Feb 2026

“Got a Safe Sidewalks Program notice in January, panicked. Ronnie walked us through the whole program, handled the paperwork, and our city contribution was honored. Done in 5 weeks.”

FAQ
Paving questions, answered
What's the difference between paving and a driveway?
Paving is a category that includes driveways, walkways, paths, parking pads, aprons, and any flat exterior concrete. We use 'paving' on this page for the smaller jobs — under ~400 sq ft — that aren't full driveway replacements.
Will it handle my RV / boat trailer?
If you tell us the weight up front, we'll thicken the slab (typically 6 inches instead of 4) and add extra rebar. A pad designed for an RV won't crack under the weight even after years.
Concrete vs asphalt for a parking pad — which is better?
Concrete lasts 2-3x longer in San Diego sun, doesn't soften in heat, and looks better. Asphalt is cheaper up front. For a residential pad you'll keep for the long haul, concrete wins.
Do I need a permit to replace my driveway apron?
Yes — the apron is in the public right-of-way. We pull the encroachment permit and handle the city inspection.
How long until I can use it?
Foot traffic in 24 hours, vehicles in 7 days, heavy vehicles in 14 days.
