Why Local Expertise Matters

Know Burbank's Permit Process

Burbank's Building & Safety Division requires permits for concrete work exceeding simple repair. Stamped concrete in Magnolia Park, ADU foundations in the Media District, and driveway replacement all trigger Tier 1 or Tier 2 review. We handle applications, zoning clearance, and plan submission.

Community Development office at 150 N. Third Street processes applications Monday–Thursday 8am–3:30pm, Friday 8am–3pm. We submit early to avoid delays on your timeline.

Understand Burbank's Soil & Drainage

Clay-heavy lots in the San Fernando Valley require careful grading. Homes near Griffith Park and the Verdugo foothills face slope stability challenges. Our crews know how to slope patios and driveways to shed water away from foundations—critical in areas with legacy drainage issues.

Navigate Neighborhood Zoning Quirks

The Rancho Equestrian District has horse-keeping zoning rules affecting foundation and patio setbacks. The Media District supports studio backlots and entertainment infrastructure. Hillside properties near the Verdugo Mountains trigger Hillside Development Permit requirements. We know which neighborhoods face which restrictions.

With 500+ completed Burbank projects, we've built lasting relationships with inspectors and planners.

Coverage Area

We serve all Burbank neighborhoods. Here's what to expect in each area.

Downtown Burbank & San Fernando Boulevard

Restaurants, shops, and Metrolink transit lines define downtown. Parking lot repairs, storefront aprons, and sidewalk replacement keep foot traffic flowing. Many commercial builds require ADA-compliant concrete ramps and surfaces.

Tree-lined streets and 1940s–50s homes set the tone. Driveway replacement and patio resurfacing are common. We respect vintage aesthetics while meeting modern durability standards.

Rancho Equestrian District

Large lots, horse barns, and riding trails near Griffith Park. Driveways handle truck access and stable infrastructure. Pool decks and patio expansion projects are popular. Setback and drainage rules are stricter here.

Media District & Burbank Hills

Warner Bros., Disney, and studio infrastructure anchor this zone. ADU foundations and commercial flatwork support growth. Permit review is thorough but standard; we coordinate with studio security and site managers.

Hillside District & Verdugo Foothills

Hillside Development Permits, slope grading, and retaining walls define projects. Mountain views command premium finishes. Drainage and erosion control are non-negotiable.

Airport District & North Burbank

Midcentury homes and newer builds mix here. Parking pads, garage aprons, and RV parking pads see frequent wear. We upgrade aging driveways to handle vehicle density near Bob Hope Airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Burbank permit for a concrete driveway or patio?

Yes, building permits are required for new concrete work exceeding simple repair and maintenance. Driveway replacement, patio installation, and foundation pours all need Tier 1 or Tier 2 permits. We handle applications and coordinate with the Building & Safety Division to ensure compliance with zoning standards before work begins.

What about retaining walls and property lines in the Rancho area?

Rancho properties have equestrian zoning rules affecting setbacks and drainage. Walls over 4 feet typically need engineered design and permits. We verify property lines, survey existing structures, and ensure compliance with Burbank's setback and Hillside Development requirements before construction.

Can stamped concrete work in Magnolia Park's older homes?

Absolutely. Stamped concrete patios and driveways blend vintage aesthetic with modern durability. We offer stone, brick, and slate patterns that complement the Post-WWII character while offering slip resistance, low maintenance, and long-lasting protection when sealed properly.

How does drainage work for Burbank's clay soil and flooding concerns?

Clay-heavy lots require careful slope grading to shed water away from home foundations. We install proper pitch, control joints, and sometimes french drains or sumps to prevent pooling. Proper base preparation and sealing also reduce moisture infiltration over time.

Are ADU foundations subject to special rules in Burbank?

Yes. ADU projects require Tier 2 permits with full plan check and zoning review. Foundations must meet seismic standards, include proper setbacks (minimum 4 feet side and rear), and comply with parking and lot coverage limits. We coordinate with the Planning Division and Building & Safety from the start.

What protection does sealing offer in Burbank's climate?

Sealing blocks water penetration, prevents staining from automotive fluid or tree debris, and reduces UV fading. In Burbank's hot summers and occasional heavy rains, resealing every 2–3 years keeps concrete resilient. Sealed surfaces are also easier to clean and maintain long-term.
