The four flatwork jobs we do most in Perris

Patio slabs and extensions. The builder slab in the newer tracts is usually too small for a table with chairs pulled out. Extending it is the single most-requested pour we do.

Side-yard walkways. The path to the trash cans and the gate. It is the most-walked line in a Perris house and the first place a lawn wears through.

Mow curbs. A poured curb between the lawn and the planter bed. It keeps rock and bark out of the turf and gives the turf a hard edge to end against. On one Perris job we poured two large ones around the trees the customer kept.

Pads. For the AC unit, the shed, the spa or the trash enclosure. Small pours, and they are the ones that sink if the base is skipped.

Where you are changes which of the four you need. In Villages of Avalon and Monument Ranch it is almost always the patio extension. Out in Mead Valley and Good Hope, where lots are deeper, it is pads and long side-yard runs.

What we do that cheap flatwork skips

Base and compaction. Not poured on native dirt.
Fall for water. Every flat surface has a slope, away from the house.
Control joints. Placed to the shape of the pour, not sprinkled around.
Expansion at the house. So the slab moving does not push against the foundation.
Clean edges. Where the flatwork meets turf, the edge has to be true, or the turf never sits flat against it.

Finishes

Broom finish is the default and the right call for anything that gets wet, which is walkways, patios and pool surrounds. It has grip.

Smooth finish for covered areas and pads where nothing gets wet.

Summer scheduling matters here. In a Perris July we pour early in the day, because concrete that flashes off too fast in 105-degree heat does not finish well and does not cure well.

Questions before you call

How thick should a patio slab be?

For foot traffic and furniture, four inches on a compacted base is standard. Anything holding a vehicle or a spa needs more, and we spec that at the quote.

Do I need a mow curb if I am getting turf?

Wherever the turf meets loose material like rock or bark, yes. Without it the material ends up on the turf and the turf edge eventually lifts.

How much does flatwork cost?

Priced by square foot, and the number moves with how much demolition and base prep the area needs. Straight rectangles cost less than tight curves. Call (951) 556-0315 and we will measure it.

Can you pour up against my existing slab?

Yes, with a joint between the two so they can move independently. Tied hard together, one drags the other and both crack.

A great experience from this family-owned business. Janeth provided me with a complete and understandable quote, and Bolivar and his crew completed the job with speed and professionalism. The entire job, not including a couple of rain days, took less than 4 days. They removed a medium-sized tree and a bit over 1,000 sq. ft. of grass in 3 different areas, prepared all 3 areas with base material, installed weed barriers and two large mow curbs around the remaining trees, and installed top-quality artificial turf in all 3 areas. They cleaned up and hauled everything away, leaving my yard looking like a million dollars.

I wanted the lava rock that had been at the side of the house for years removed. Bolivar and Janeth gave me a few different options, and trusting their expertise I went with artificial turf in that area. He also put in drains as well. I am so happy with how it all turned out. They left everything very clean and the attention to detail is superb. I'll definitely be going to them again for the next phase.

Bolivar of Millenium Turf is very responsible and on time with his work. Very helpful if you have questions before or during the job, he will help you out. His pricing is also very reasonable. I recommend Millenium Turf if you want artificial turf installed.
