Water nearer the surface than expected
On the bottomland streets the groundwater can sit high enough that an excavation collects water on its own. Pouring into that traps moisture under the slab, so the sequence changes: dewater, get the aggregate in and properly compacted, then pour on a base that drains rather than one that holds. Where this is likely on a Riverside lot we say so at the estimate instead of discovering it with a truck already on site. It is also why a patio here usually does better with a stone edge drain along the low side than with a deeper slab, which only pushes the problem down.
Utilities that moved over the years
Service lines on residential streets of this vintage were not always laid where a current locate map suggests, and shallow gas, water, irrigation and cable runs turn up under driveways more often here than in newer neighbourhoods. Every excavation starts with a utility locate, and where a line is found shallow inside the slab area we adjust depth or sleeve it rather than pouring over the problem and leaving the next person to find it. For a garage or shed slab in Riverside that check happens before the forms are set, because a line under a bearing edge changes where the slab goes.
