Hawthorne concrete workfrom a Hermosa Beach crew
The Hawthorne calls we get are usually about a driveway that's cracked or sinking, a patio where water pools, or a walk that's gone uneven. Before we talk about new concrete, I come out to see why the old slab failed.
Price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out and how much base work your ground needs. Timing turns on any permit and the weather. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your own job. We're based nearby in Hermosa Beach, and we pour in Gardena too.
When you're ready, call (424) 414-1585 or use our form, and I'll set a time to come out and look.
Our concrete services in Hawthornefor homes, builders and lots
In Hawthorne we take on everything from one cracked walkway to a full foundation, and each line below links to how we do that job.
- Concrete driveway building Old driveways that crack and sink usually sat on loose fill, so we dig out and pack a firm base.
- Concrete patio construction Backyard patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs off instead of pooling by your back door.
- Stamped concrete services A pressed pattern and color for patios and entries, laid over the same packed base as plain work.
- Concrete sidewalk building Front walks and side paths that have lifted or gone uneven get replaced flat, with the joints cut on time.
- Garage floor concrete Garage slabs poured level and dense, for cars, workbenches and the storage that piles up on them.
- Decorative concrete Colored, exposed or textured finishes for when you want a slab around the house to look like more than gray.
- Concrete retaining walls Where a yard steps down, we build walls to hold back the soil, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for additions, workshops and rooms that need a flat, square floor for the next trade.
- Concrete pool decks Decks around backyard pools with a textured surface for wet feet and a slope that drains the water off.
- Concrete steps construction Steps with even heights, because the one that's a little off is the step people trip on.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for additions and new homes, poured square so the framers can build on them without fighting them.
- Foundation installation Full foundations for builders and owners, with the forms and grade checked before any concrete arrives on site.
- Concrete parking lot building Paved lots for small property owners, with a base built up for cars coming and going every day.
- Concrete footings Footings for walls, posts and additions, dug to what the plans call for and checked before the pour.
- Foundation raising Lifting a section of foundation that has settled, once we've found out why the ground under it moved.
- Concrete cutting Clean saw cuts for openings, repairs and removals, so the work doesn't crack the concrete you're keeping.
Why Hawthorne homeowners callBedrock for their concrete
Working with us should feel unhurried. I explain the reason for each step in plain words, so you can decide what's right for your house.
The owner writes your estimate
I come out to every job and write the estimate myself, so the person who quotes your slab is the one working beside the crew on pour day.
Built square for what comes next
I framed houses for years on other people's slabs, so I know how a pour that's out of level or square causes trouble for every trade after it.
Flatwork is what we know best
Driveways, patios and walkways are what we're best known for, so the slabs around your house are the kind of work we do most.
A clean site and a quiet street
We keep mud and debris off the street, clean up before we leave and treat your neighbors and their driveways with respect.
Licensed, insured and guaranteed
We're licensed and insured, and we put our name behind one promise, which is satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
How your job runsfrom first call to cured slab
You deal with me from the site visit to the final walkthrough. Your estimate comes in writing, so you know what we're building before any concrete is ordered.
Your call and a site walk
After you call, I come out and walk the site with you. We talk through what you'd like, and I look at what your ground and the old slab tell me.
A written estimate
You get a written estimate, and we go over what the city may ask for. In Hawthorne, the city's Department of Building and Safety handles permits and plan review.
Permit, forms and grade
Once you approve the estimate, we take care of any permit and book the inspections with the city. Then we set the forms and check the slope before any concrete arrives.
Pour day and walkthrough
On pour day I'm on site with the crew. Before we leave, we go over curing with you, which is the wait that lets the slab gain strength before you drive on it.
What Hawthorne slabs run intoand what we do about it
These are the problems we're usually called to fix on Hawthorne driveways and patios, and how we keep them out of the new slab.
Sinking from a weak base
Sinking slabs usually sat on raked dirt instead of a dug-out, packed base, so we'd trim the finish before we'd cut the ground work.
Water running the wrong way
A slab that falls toward the house sends rain at your foundation, so we check where the water runs and slope the slab away.
Pouring in the heat
Concrete placed in midday heat can dry too fast on top and turn dusty later, so we time our pours around the heat.
Cracks nobody chose
Control joints are grooves cut across the slab that give cracks a straight line to follow, so we cut them on time rather than skip them.
