About Concrete & Flatwork in Los Angeles
LA expansive soils, hillside grading, and aging neighborhoods mean concrete here doesn't get poured the same way as a flat Midwest lot. We compact subgrade, set base, place rebar to spec, and saw-cut control joints where the slab actually wants to crack.
What we resolve before drawings begin.
- 01
Subgrade compaction + rebar
We compact subgrade to spec, lay 4" Class II base, and place #4 rebar at 18" o.c. on all structural slabs. This is what separates a 30-year pour from a 5-year mess of cracks.
- 02
LADBS for driveway approaches + retaining walls
Driveway approaches in the public ROW trigger LA Bureau of Engineering permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet trigger LADBS structural review. We pull both.
- 03
Soil + drainage
LA expansive clay soils need moisture control. Hillside pours need drainage behind retaining walls. We design for both.

Los Angeles · Concrete FAQ
Questions Los Angeles homeowners ask first.
Start an LA concrete brief. We'll walk subgrade, drainage, finish, and a fixed-scope contract for your specific scope.
What does an LA concrete driveway cost?
Most LA standard broom-finish driveways land $14–$22 per sq ft. Decorative finishes (color, stamp, polish) run $22–$40 per sq ft.Do I need a permit for a driveway?
Driveway approach work in the ROW requires a Bureau of Engineering permit. Replacement in kind on your own lot usually doesn't, though larger LADBS rules can apply.Can you do retaining walls?
Yes — engineered cantilever and gravity walls with engineered drainage. Walls over 4 feet require LADBS permit + structural calcs, which we handle.How long does an LA concrete pour take?
Most residential driveways and patios take 1–2 weeks from demo to drive-on, including subgrade prep, forming, rebar, pour, and 7-day cure before light use.Can you match existing concrete color or finish?
We can match within reason — broom direction, integral color, and aggregate exposure are all controllable. Perfectly invisible matches to weathered concrete aren't realistic; we'll show samples before pour.
