Concrete Contractor in Lawndale, CA - Driveways and Patios Built on Solid Ground
Bedrock Hermosa Beach Concrete pours driveways, patios, walkways, steps and foundations for homeowners in Lawndale, CA. We start with the ground work underneath so the slab sits level and drains away from your house.
Concrete work for Lawndale homesstarting with the ground underneath
We're based in Hermosa Beach, and we pour driveways, patios and walkways in Lawndale the same way we do in Hawthorne and El Segundo. Most of our calls come from homeowners whose slab has cracked, sunk or started holding water.
The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how much work the ground underneath needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait before you can use the slab, and your written estimate shows the figures for your own job.
Call (424) 414-1585 or send the form, and I'll come out to see your job and write the estimate.
What we pour in Lawndalefrom the curb to the backyard
Most of what we pour here is flatwork, our word for driveways, patios and walkways, but we also build walls, steps and foundations.
- Concrete driveway building Cracked, sunken driveways usually sat on raked dirt, so we dig out and pack a firm base first.
- Concrete patio construction A backyard patio should fall away from the house, so we check where the water runs before forming.
- Stamped concrete services Patterns that look like stone or brick, pressed in while the concrete is still soft enough to take them.
- Concrete sidewalk building Walkways from the street to your door, set at the right height so nobody catches a toe on a lip.
- Garage floor concrete Garage slabs poured level, with control joints, cut lines that give a crack a straight place to run.
- Decorative concrete Color, exposed stone and borders for a front yard that looks finished instead of plain gray.
- Concrete retaining walls Where a yard steps down, a wall holds the soil back, with its steel and drainage planned before the pour.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for additions and rooms, finished flat so the flooring goes down without a fight.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks get a broom finish, fine grooves that grip wet feet, and a slope that carries splash water off.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps built with even rises, so every step feels the same underfoot.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for additions and garages, poured level and square so the framers can build right on them.
- Foundation installation New foundations with rebar, the steel inside that holds the concrete together, placed and checked before inspection.
- Concrete parking lot building Parking areas for small property owners, graded so rain runs off instead of pooling in the stalls.
- Concrete footings Footings for walls, posts and additions, dug down to firm ground so whatever sits on them stays put.
- Foundation raising When a slab has dropped at one end, we look at why it sank before we talk about raising it.
- Concrete cutting Clean saw cuts for a new opening, a utility trench or a cracked section that needs to come out.
Why Lawndale calls usfor the work under the slab
I come out to every job myself, and I spend as much time on what goes under the concrete as on how it'll look on top.
I write every estimate myself
I walk your site, look at the old slab and the ground, and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing your job is also there for the pour.
The base comes before the finish
If the budget's tight, I'd keep the dug-out, packed base and simplify the finish, because the base decides how the slab looks years from now.
Licensed and insured in California
We're licensed and insured. California's licensing board caps a home improvement down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the price, whichever is less.
Your questions answered first
I'll explain each step and the reason for it in plain words, so you know what you're paying for before you approve anything.

From first call to cured slabthe way a Lawndale job runs
You deal with me from the first visit to the last walkthrough. The paperwork, the forms and the grade checks are ours, so your part is mostly deciding what you want.
You call or write
Call (424) 414-1585 or send the form, and I come out to walk the site with you and talk through what you'd like and what the city may ask for.
Written estimate and permit
You get a written estimate, and once you approve it we apply for any permit and book the inspections. The city lists a $75 flatwork permit for front-yard hardscape like driveways and walkways.
Forms, grade and pour day
We set the forms and check the grade before the truck comes, and I'm on site for the pour. Lawndale allows work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with none on Sundays or city holidays.
Curing and care walkthrough
Before we leave, I go over curing and care with you, including when the new slab is ready for foot traffic and then for your car.
What Lawndale slabs run intoand what we do about it
These are the problems we see most often when we look at old driveways and patios in Lawndale.
Slabs that sank
Old slabs settle when the subgrade, the soil they sit on, was only raked level, so we dig it out and pack it firm.
Water running toward the house
A slab that slopes toward the house sends rain at your walls, so we check where the water runs and pitch the slab away.
Hot afternoon pours
Concrete placed in midday heat can end up with a weak, dusty top, so we plan the pour for the cooler part of the day.
Cracks in random places
Cracks wander when control joints are cut late or skipped, so we cut ours on time to give the slab a straight line to crack along.
